O-o-T-S - Phils v Braves

[Frayed Knot]

Tied at 4 in Atlanta in the 10th


Also, Marlins are leading Nationals but they're already in their 2nd rain delay so who knows.

Braves won btw - on a one-out single in the 10th
Of course that just means that they're gaining on us.


Marlins leading the Nats in the 7th - but it was/is rain-delayed in the middle of an inning (and the inning the Fish took the lead too) so I think that means they have to continue it at a later time if they can't finish it tonight.
Now if the rains had come 10 minutes earlier the Nats might have won.

Not if the team that took the lead is the home team. (In short, the bottom of the inning becomes the de facto ninth inning.)

I think the Marlins game may be official if they don't continue.

From the Department of Holy F*&%*#g S&^t: Baltimore just made up a NINE-run seventh-inning deficit against the cream of the Boston pen (Delcarmen, Okajima, Saito, and Pap Smear) to violently cough up Smoltz' first Boston win. 11-10 Os in the 9th.

Yup! Baltimore puts up 5 in the 7th and 5 more in the 8th to make up the largest come-from-behind in club history.

Continuing with the July 1st O-o-T-S:

- Marlins beat the Nats ... again.
It was tied late but the Nats pen coughed up some late runs ... again.



- And the BoSox playing the 'payback's a bitch' card, getting 4 in the 9th (the last 2 w/2 outs) to send things into extras

Philly got smacked around (and almost no-hit) by Jair Jurrgens and the Braves - 11-1
A 4-team log jam in the NLEast


Odd day in that our game was only one of three separate 1-0 finals today - and a fourth is in progress in the 8th inning

[Frayed Knot]

Braves tack up 3 in the 8th (inc a 2R PH HR by G Anderson) to take a 5-2 lead and leaves them just one inning short of completing a sweep.
It'll also make it 17 losses by the Phils in their last 24 games if this one holds up and cause a 4-team pile-up in the NL East: 2 games separating 1st place & 4th.



Oh, and the Mariners smacked CC around and lead 6-4 in the 8th.

Waiting for the last out to be recorded in the MFY game. Two-run homer by Branyan in the top of the inning gave the M's an 8-4 lead.

Shake him up, shake him up, shake him up, crack 'im
Frankie blows a save, but Fernando gon' back 'im
With the 0-5, 8-5, 8-6, 8-8
To the 9-8 flow, lil' Capps can't shut the back do'

Plus Philly's dropping three, like Flav drop freaks
Sailors end dat muthafuckin' seven-game spank streak
Even saw the lights of the Goodyear blimp
And it read: "Churchie's a pimp"
Today I didn't have to cry, "Fire Jer-ray"
I got to say it was a good day
