OOT Scoreboard - July 26, 2005

[Guest ScarletKnight41]

With Washington playing Atlanta, someone was bound to take soul possession of first place.

Even though I hate the Braves, I hate Mike Stanton more. So I can live with the Braves winning when Stanton comes in to start the 10th, walks one and gives up a hit, and then gets pulled for Ayala, who lets Stanton's inherited runner score to saddle the RYS with the loss.

That Braves/Nats game breaks the tie atop the NL East. Nationals now the leader in the WC race. The winning run scored on a (sound familiar?) bases-loaded walk to Andruw Jones.


Houston beat Philly - also on a walk-off. Mike Lamb HRed off Ryan Masdon for the 2-1 win.



Boston blew an early 5-0 lead - in part because starter Matt Clement was taken off the field on a stretcher after getting skulled by a line drive - but then scored 1 in the 9th to re-tie it, and now twice in the 10th (off rumored NYM Danys Baez) to take a 10-8 lead.
Schilling now pitching his 2nd inning trying to close it out.



Pittsburgh beat Florida 6 - 3

Schilling gives one of the runs back but then closes out the game w/the tying run at 2nd.

Baltimore finally stopped their slide by beating Texas (Soriano 0-4).

Sammy hit #586, tying Frank Robinson for 5th on the all-time HR list.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Maddux becomes the 13th major leaguer --- and second Cub --- to strike out 3,000.

[metirish]

Greg Maddux had his 3000 SO tonight in the rain delayed game in Chicago, the 13th pitcher to reach that magic number.

Man, that shot that banked off Clement's coconut (Carl Crawford) went out into leftfield!!!!
