Cecil Cooper (Astros MGR):
Just when it looked as if the Astros would add some insurance to their lead over the Brewers on Thursday, an out call on a play at the plate by umpire Delfin Colon resulted in fireworks from Lance Berkman and Cecil Cooper, ending in the ejection of both the first baseman and manager. The call would prove costly, as the Astros would lose by one run, 4-3.

Dan Haren (Diamondbacks):
A.J. Hinch particularly looks forward to penciling in Dan Haren's name as the D-backs' starting pitcher on Saturday night in Oakland. Both have significant backgrounds with the A's, and both are going back to their roots.

Mike Smith (Taiwan):
Starting pitcher Mike Smith (1-3, 2.86) has been placed on the suspended list, accepting a contract offer to pitch in Taiwan. He registered his only win of the season earlier this week, notching a victory Monday after registering 6 1/3 shutout innings. Smith promised to be one of the best pitchers in the league this season, regularly hitting 90 mph with pinpoint control.
