OOT Scoreboard - 8/23/05

[Guest ScarletKnight41]

Former Oakland player Carlos Pena homers off of his former team to give the Tigers a 1-0 lead in the 4th inning.

[Guest ScarletKnight41]

Detroit has a 4-1 lead over Oakland.

In Pittsburgh, a 3-RBI hit by Ty Wigginton helped the Pirates build a 7-0 lead over St. Louis. As I type, our old friend is pitching to the Cardinals in the 6th with the bases loaded.

OE - Baby Boomer gets out of the jam, and it's still 7-0 Pittsburgh.

[Guest ScarletKnight41]

St. Louis now has Ray King pitching. Dear lord - that man is fatter than Mickey Lolich!

[Guest ScarletKnight41]

Pena has homered twice tonight, and has all four RBIs against his former team.

[Guest ScarletKnight41]

The Cubs have a 4-0 lead over Atlanta in the 4th.

Boston is leading KC by the same score in the same inning.

[Guest ScarletKnight41]

4-1 holds up as the final in Detroit.

[Guest ScarletKnight41]

Pittsburgh leads St. Louis 8-0.

Chicago leads Atlanta by the same score.

Neither of these are laughers, btw.

Cincinnati leads Washington 6-2 in the 9th.

Toronto has a tenuous 3-2 lead over the MFYs in the 8th.

[Guest ScarletKnight41]

Fuck - the MFYs have tied it in the 8th :(

[Guest ScarletKnight41]

It's a final in Washington - the Nats lose to Cincy 6-2.

[Guest ScarletKnight41]

Toronto regains the run in the top of the 9th. On to the bottom of the 9th in the Bronx.

[Guest ScarletKnight41]

And the MFYs tie it in the 9th.

[Guest MiniKnight]

oops - wrong thread

[Guest ScarletKnight41]

Fuck - the MFYs score two in the 9th to win :(

[Guest Johnny Dickshot]

And now, the important scores:

Cincy 6, Washington 2, final
Milwaukee 7, Florida 1, 7th
Cubs 8, Braves 1, 8th
Philly 0, Frisco 0, 1st

In Minnesota, Freddie Garcia of the ChiSox takes a no-hitter into the 8th until Jacque Jones leads off with a solo HR. It's Minny's only hit of the game but it's enough for the 1-0 vicotry. Johan Santana combined w/Joe Nathan for a 3-hit shutout.

[smg58]

I love pitchers' duels like that.

Don't forget San Diego 1, Houston 0 in the third. This could be a really good night for the Mets.

Right there is reason enough to love (and hate) baseball.

[Guest ScarletKnight41]

Milwaukee's lead is now 11-1 over Florida.

The Cubs lead Atlanta 10-1 in the 9th.

[Frayed Knot]

The time-of-game, btw, in Minnesota was 2:08


That's a couple of bad starts for Thomson of Atlanta since his return from the DL. Andruw still managed his 40th!! HR. Burnitz hit a grannie.

It was Beckett that took it on the chin for Florida.

That's Clemens vs Peavy in SD


Oakland lost (that's like 6 of 7 for them now) but Cleveland won and stays in a virtual tie w/Yanx in WC race.
Boston's in charge vs KC.

[Guest Johnny Dickshot]

Phils unloading on Brett Tomko, up 5-1.

[metirish]

Gary and Howie can't help but take jabs at the MFY's, giving the OoTSC and talking about Escolona's game winner Howie said..

] Escolona is a yankee hero,they'll be wiring him up any minute for a half hour interview

you could hear Gary laughing in the background.

[Guest ScarletKnight41]

KC scores two in the 9th, but Boston hangs on to win 5-2.

[Guest Johnny Dickshot]

Padres win!!!! 2-0 over Jackass Clemens.

Phils still leading SF, 5-2 in the 7th,

Still, looks to be a good night for the Mets.

I love how Scarlet drops an F-bomb right after her son posts. Classic.

If I didn't hate Roger Clemens with the passion of a thousand fires, I'd feel bad for the guy that he has an ERA of 1.58 but only eleven wins. But since I'm not much of a Clemens fan, I kinda enjoy that.

[Guest ScarletKnight41]

After Saturday's game, he saw every bad word he's ever going to see in his life.

It's cooby's fault - she said that I shouldn't shield him from this stuff.

Seriously, I figure it's not a bad thing if he sees this place as the context where people swear. If the bullpen meltdown that night isn't a reason to swear, then no reason exists. And the kid has a good sense of context (moreso than his older siblings do).

FWIW, he was reading the stream of curse words and laughing over the different combinations.

[seawolf17]

As long as swear words are used properly, then it's educational!

[Elster88]

Get him a copy of Chris Rock's explanation of the word fuck.

[Guest Yancy Street Gang]

Did he see Vic's explanation of what he'd do if he grabbed a foul ball?

[MFS62]

Mom, we consider it a highly technical term.
Anyone who works with computers knows this.
You may have a future Bill Gates on your hands. (If he doesn't become a Doctor or Lawyer, that is)

I think we missed that one ;)
