Weekend O-o-T-S

[Frayed Knot]

- Phils lose to the Nats as Oswalt gets his butt kicked

- Meanwhile, Happ in Houston has held the Brewers to 2 hits thru 6

- Yanx lose 3-2 to the Rays in a fight-for-first series.
Rays close to just one game out. No HR for poor Alex.

Atlanta scored 2 in the 10th to break a 4-4 tie although Billy W is trying to give it back: Out - 2B - HBP - Loooooong fly out

Huge buzz about #600 huh?

Would have been a bigger thing if we weren't in a cynical post-steroid era.
Of course the Yanx are making a big deal out of it but that's expected. Last week Kay was going nuts almost every AB although some think that was because he wasn't going to work the next series (a 4-gamer in Cleveland) and was afraid it wasn't going to be his call. Now he's back for this one although it's network game on Sat.




Wagner struck out Drew Stubbs w/2 on to end the game

Rockies in bottom 8th inning vs Chicago
Rox lead 5-2, Sean Marshall on the mound

C. Barmes - Double
M. Mora -- Single
D. Fowler -- Strikeout
R. Spilborghs -- Strikeout Looking

OK, so it's 1st & 3rd with two outs, Rox have Huston Street warming up for the save ... but then

C. Gonzalez -- Single (1 run)
T. Tulowitzki -- Double (1 run)
B. Hawpe -- Double (2 runs)

That's enough of Marshall, Andrew Cashner in to relieve

C. Iannetta -- Triple (1 run)
I. Stewart -- Home Run (2 runs)
C. Barmes -- Single
M. Mora -- Double (1 run)
D. Fowler -- Home Run (2 runs)
R. Spilborghs -- Single

Out goes Cashner, in comes Brian Schlitter

C. Gonzalez -- Single
T. Tulowitzki -- Double (2 runs)
B. Hawpe -- Walk (ending a run of [u:pqtjljnv]ELEVEN[/u:pqtjljnv] straight hits - ML record)
C. Iannetta -- Walk

and finally ...

I. Stewart -- Flyout leaving the bases loaded

Your final: Rockies 17 - Cubs 2
Thank you and please arrive home safely

And you wonder why Lou is retiring.

I'm monitoring three separate games at the moment [Mets-Snakes, Yanx-Rays, & Nats-Phils] and all three are tied up 4-4 in the 8th.

I'd say that's pretty unusual.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

MFYs win on a Cano 9th-inning HR/Mariano save.

Love that Lidge.

Yup!
Phils went ahead in top 9, then Zimmerman hit a 3R walkoff.

[Fman99]

Carlos Gonzalez with a walk off HR to beat the Cubs AND complete hitting for the cycle. Watched it live on the MLB Network, which I <3

[Guest Edgy DC]

Nats are the Mets fans best friend right now.

[Frayed Knot]

Well, Braves lost and the Yanx lost (he says looking for silver linings).

Phils headed to the 11th tied at 4 in the D of C
