Who's Hot / Who's Not

WHO'S Hot

Astros

POW! That's third baseman Morgan Ensberg (.403, nine homers). BAM! That's first baseman Lance Berkman (.353, 20 RBIs). And the batmen aren't doing it alone for first-place Houston. Roy Oswalt is 4-0, and closer Brad Lidge (above) has a league-high seven saves. Maybe Mr. Clemens will come out to play.

Martinezes

While the Indians' Victor Martinez is hitting .387 and solidifying himself as baseball's best offensive catcher (move over, Tek), the Mets' Pedro Martinez won his 200th and 201st game. Observed Victor (left), "When you put a good swing on the ball, anything can happen."

Bronson Arroyo

Part-time rocker--he's in a cover band--is making noise as a hitter (two homers) and hurler (3-0) for the contending Reds. Manager Jerry Narron called him "a pitcher, with a capital P."

World Cup Referees

Goooooal! Six weeks before they will be heckled on the world stage, soccer arbiters got a 100% pay raise: They'll make $41,000 each for the monthlong tournament.
