Wednesday-Thursday, June 11-12, 2008

Thanks @espn

diving backs Mets get it started but really it’s more about how this thing ended Brandon Webb 2-1 ra of 31 and4 career starts at Shay here in the fourth where scoreless Carlos Bel little base knock Jose Reyes Luis Castillo will score and it’s two nothing in favor of the metropolitans next man up Carlos Delgado Carlos Beltran nicked him and Carlos delado got him Yik Delgado right off the side of web ball goes into left field belron advances to Third Base taking another look oh that’s a bruise right there what would stay in the game but pitch just five innings 58 pitches and then eventually he would call it an evening all right Mark Reynolds Mike Pelfrey good match up uh yeah if you’re Pelfrey in the second Reynolds goes down swinging in the fifth they the dime backs are trailing three nothing and Swinging again Reynolds py one more time in the seven still three nothing and yeah strike three again C High eight strikeouts for pel and he really picked on Reynolds but you know what Billy Wagner comes in to close this thing and maybe Reynolds have better luck there right in the N still three nothing couple on two outs delrey just watching two two pitch low to Reynolds he claims the Pitch hit him on the right toe look at me I’m jumping it hurts ouch ouch Jeff Nelson says uh no get in there and hit it come on you’re tough and so he does and I’ll show you you should have given me first base cuz I’m just going to hit this 3-2 pitch out of the yard and now we’re tied to three Wagner cannot believe it next time a man says I hit him I hit him send him down there Bel great replay bel’s great effort uh hello andd no decision we are tied at three tied at 3 through 10 11 12 into the 13th one out Castile grounder over to who Reynolds booty booty booty booty booty Castillo’s going to reach on the air so instead out number two we still got one and that brings David right to the dish he’ll pop out to Chad Tracy so two we got but ain’t three we got right he’s frustrated but instead of the third out we’re still alive every good things happen everything starts with two they used to say in little league and Carlos Bel that’s actually not starting it that’s ending it while Edgar Gonzalez the two-run go Homer the ball is gone and along with it he carries a Mets five game losing streak into the pen the Mets celebrate 5-3 Victory is theirs in 13 Innings the Marlins with three back of the phills going into their get together ugly finish in this one for Philadelphia actually ug start for this one for Dan ug against Cole hamls haml had his number all night they’re in the bottom of the second and the bottom of the fifth pretty much same deal ham at 13 strikeouts on the night so it’s not like he was just picking on ugler ug’s night though would get better here’s Jorge can to tight at one and can do everybody striking out against haml except for Kant 2 at two home runs off ham in the game he’s got six home runs his last six games 14 on the season for Kant 2 here’s ugla and yeah haml gets him again third strike out of the night against cool Cole ninth in and two on Marlins here’s Kevin Greg in the Clos it first and second nobody out Eric Brett takes off steals third Jimmy Rollins hangs it first so now their Runners the corners all right first and third and one down and here’s Chase Utley always dangerous grounded a second ug Hanley Ramirez for one but they can’t turn two that’s why you never assume that double play so they’re able to tie the game at two bottom nine Dan ugler facing Tom Gordon B is loaded and here’s the second walk-off Grand Slam in Marlins history Bobby B did it 11 years ago and this time it’s ugla his first career walk-off home run second career Grand Slam Albert pool’s limping is not good for the Cardinals that will help a lot of other teams however card’s best offensive player out three weeks at least Dell with a moderate strain of the left calf his downtime however could extend to the allstar break according to the St Louis Post Dispatch pool first herf cap a week ago Cardinals calling Chris Duncan to play first hit sixth against the Reds Wednesday night he went one for four with a walker anill I’ll provide a little power in Al’s absence he says his 10th of the year and just like that top of the first we go from scoreless to 3 nothing in favor of the Red Birds top seven I’ll have some more six nothing oh my goodness look at Ryan L would get in one 16th of the season that’s a career high it’s only June 52 RBI that’s also career high and a team mod he actually has more RBI than phol so far Bray Looper going for the complete game and the shut out he has neither on his resume for his career and that is going to be a lazy Fly ball to right Looper nice job three hitter four K 10 nothing day one without Al goes well for Tiger to the Tigers Detroit cooled off the white hot socks Tuesday night but uhoh Justin verland a career against the poos one and six ER over six got off to a good start though first pitch of the game got a pop up the top of the second first pitch Germaine D gets him to pop out you got to get first pitch outs if you want to go the distance especially in all this heat bottom of the second two on Marcus Tims three-run shot seventh of the year in support of Verlander Verlander here’s his first pitch to Alexi Ramirez he’ll pop out verland going for the complete Game throws 101 pitches one day shy of the one-year anniversary of his no hitter gets the complete game or of Red Sox o fought back to the series opener at Fenway JD Drew this guy has been on fire since David Ortiz’s wrist injury end of May he’s hitting 517 five homers 12 rbi’s is he hot Will Made sweat bottom first scoreless runner on third Drew yeah comes through again Kobe Ellsbury will score do with a double 10 game hitting streak one for three in a riby in this one later Jason verch well that’s going up over the really high wall out there his seventh of the Season Boston up five nothing early and then Baro cologne looking for his 150 career wi uh look get the autog glass people out there on that and he’s just cruising along Aubrey Huff done and you know I was actually I was thinking Father’s day maybe I should get my dad a heavy sweater what do you think that’s Levesque right there but he’s going to it Kevin Mal goes down swinging leave me at Alone six inning pit five hits one run Braves have all sorts of injury problems to the pitchers not going to get any sympathy from the Cubs you’ll see chippers leading the league and batting 420 his first game back after missing a couple games that tear in his quad that’s a base hit raises the average to 423 Kos fuka in the bottom of the first crush Job three-run shot off Jeff Bennett gives Chicago the three- nothing lead but the scary moment for the Cubs bottom of the second Bennett Nails Alonso Sorano you’ll see it again the ball deflects off sorano’s hand out of the side of his face which knocks the helmet off Sorano out six weeks broken left hand that the word Ryan Dempster for Chicago was one in 10 career against the Braves not anymore Strikes Out chipper Chipper’s average goes down to 419 complete game for debster but Aaron Andrews has more and Alonso Serano National League Champs who have the fewest wins in the NL that holiday goes down Willie Taris goes down swinging linam all smiles there in the old Kors field visiting D seven pitch six hits nine KS for the first time in 1,7 five games in Coors Field a game goes to the ninth scoreless scoreless but with the bases Chuck to cor Alba Fly ball to left Garett Atkins tags up from third and he is he is out no he is safe the ball has come out of Benji Molina’s glove look at it again name yeah uh no oh come on blue look at the ball down there get it right field C though corrects himself and just like that the Rockies win it one ZIP to the ballpark Twins and Indians combin to score one run of the their series opener Indians scored it they won Victor Martinez career high 25 homers last season zero so far this season and maybe he’ll be out for some time fou a pitch off him he he shaken up would leave the game inflamed right elbow to the third twins have been batting a buck 78 with runners in scoring position that’s how you get a six-game losing streak but here with a runner in scoring position and actually two on Justin morau drives one of the greatest seore can’t come up with two runs come around and score twins enjoying a 3-1 lead now 4-1 Jason kuel is going to add to that two-run shot it’s fair it’s gone oh yeah it’s fair off of Paul bird twin snap that pesky six game losing streak two Astros and the crew on a lovely June night in Houston Milwaukee just one and three since runoff six straight wins but they got healthy against Brandon backy 3-3 game Cory Hart drives one out of that old biddy Park they got down there in Texas 53 Brewers three home home runs allowed in four Innings from backy and the bullpen gave up some as well Jason Kendall Jim berck two-run shot his first of the Season not a lot of popping kennel but that one goes out of there Brad OS Miss it’s a 73 game the Astros home team coming back that one drops Reggie abber cromie scores it 76 so the cheese a little more binding until Hart goes after it again gets Chris Simpson that’s another 2-1 shot is second of the game the Brewers walk away with this one Trot away with 10 was calling balls and Strikes by behind home plate Casmir said going into the game the veterans told him cousins doesn’t like to call anybody out on strikes well Casmir had thrown

Innings left with a four zip lead into the ninth as you recall Billy Wagner trouble on Wednesday with Mark Reynolds in the ninth and here Chris Young rips one down the line so 42 becomes four 4 three
