Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket Guests Posted August 8, 2008 Posted August 8, 2008 Kennedy beaten off the mound, 2+ IP, 5 Runs, 9 hits. Yeah, he & Melky were too much to give up.

Frayed Knot Old-Timey Member Posted August 9, 2008 Posted August 9, 2008 Yanx not only looked like they were about to beat John Lackey for the 2nd straight time but also come out on top of a Lackey-vs-Dan Geise matchup.They led 2-0 and then 3-1 before the Angels tied it with 2 in the 7th and then threw up an 8-spot in the 8th off the MFY pen.
Frayed Knot Old-Timey Member Posted August 10, 2008 Posted August 10, 2008 * Phils beats Pitt amid a screaming match between Brett Myers and mgr Charlie Manuel. Hot head apparently thought he was pulled too early.Gap stays at 1 full gameTody: Jason Davis vs Moyer* Cards strike back at Cubs 12-3, smacking 4 HRs off Zambrano (who hit one himself - his 3rd of the year and [u:88e53e7fda]15th of his career[/u:88e53e7fda]!!)They'll be the ESPN game tonight; Carpenter vs Demster* TB wins in the 11th in Seattle. They didn't waste any time with Bradford, throwing him in for a scoreless 9th (2 baserunners) Lead the ALEast by 3.5 (Bos) and 7.5 (MFY)
Frayed Knot Old-Timey Member Posted August 10, 2008 Posted August 10, 2008 Phils win - back to a 2 game defecitChiSox beat BoSox (to take 2 of 3) and take back 1st place from Mini-sodaAngels complete the sweep of Yanx.Game was tied in the 9th when the Angels got 2 on against Marte. So Girardi brought in Rivera and Chone Figgins promptly bounced his first pitch through a hole for the winTB wins again (swept Seattle) which not only increased their lead over Boston & NY to 4.5 & 8.5 but also set a franchise record for most wins in a season ever (72).
