Quote: "They thought the Z's had become too powerful and they had to break it up." -- Rangers reliever Jeff Zimmerman, who last spring had Gregg Zaun, Todd Zeile and Mike Zywica as teammates. It's a fact: White circles containing uniform numbers for Carl Yastrzemski, Ted Williams and Jackie Robinson were dislodged from the Fenway Park facade by strong weekend winds. Who's hot: Scott Schoeneweis, making his second major-league start, pitched a three-hitter Monday night. It was the Angels' first complete-game shutout in almost two years.

On a night when they received a start from Mike Mussina, a lead from Albert Belle and six runs from an accelerating offense, the Orioles were only reminded by the Texas Rangers why their chances of creating wild-card suspense are remote.The American League's team of the moment, the Rangers transformed a rare dull effort by Mussina into an early five-run lead and hung on for an 8-6 win before an expectant but ultimately disappointed crowd of 42,949 at Camden Yards.Anticipating career home run No. 400, a thousand flashes greeted each pitch to Cal Ripken, hoping to freeze a moment that seemed impossibly distant in April but now teases with its inevitability.

The Orioles still have interest in bringing back free agent Todd Zeile -- just not at third base, assistant general manager Kevin Malone said yesterday.Zeile, 31, who was acquired from the Philadelphia Phillies in August and combined for 99 RBIs between the clubs, said he was told after an initial meeting with the Orioles last week that they did not want to sign him because the club planned to move Cal Ripken from shortstop to third base.Malone said yesterday he told Seth Levinson, Zeile's agent, that Zeile could be an Oriole next year, but in a versatile role.
