Mik 0 Report post Posted April 16, 2005 Aaron Heilman (?) outdueling Beckett in Shea. Mets up 4-0 in the bottom of the 7th, and Marlins haven't looked good tonight. In fact, they've looked downright awful. They need to pick it up a bit if they don't want to get shut out. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
2GOLD 0 Report post Posted April 16, 2005 Tejada and Sosa went back to back, O's take a 3-1 lead. Add in an RBI single by Matos and it's now 4-1 in the bottom of the sixth. And another RBI single, this one by Roberts to make it 5-1 and the O's about to bat around. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mike546 0 Report post Posted April 16, 2005 Ugh. We've scored TWO combined runs in the first and 2nd inning this year, and right now, we can't hit a damned thing. Add that to the fact our pitching is horrific right now, the Yankees are in total sucks ass mode. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bruiser Chong 0 Report post Posted April 16, 2005 Only the Cubs could make games against the struggling Pirates epics. When the hell is Nomar and A-Ram gonna show up? The window for the slow start excuse is starting to close, and for someone like Nomar, who had a fantastic ST, there's no reason why that shouldn't have carried over to the games that actually matter.

Bruiser Chong 0 Report post Posted April 16, 2005 Good thing we bolstered down that bullpen during the offseason! I guess if you're having trouble scoring runs, play the Cubs. They'll do everything they can to change that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ISportsFan 0 Report post Posted April 16, 2005 I didn't get to see the game due to it only being on a Chicagoland channel today (and I'm in Champaign for college), but the White Sox beat Seattle 6-4. So, MLB's gameday pitch-by-pitch was my friend tonight. Garland had a perfect game through 6 innings, but a walk to Reed and a single for Beltre changed that. The bullpen struggled for Chicago, giving up 2 runs in the ninth until Dustin Hermanson (who appears to be the new closer over Shingo Takatsu) came in for the save. Juan Uribe had 4 RBI for the Sox and Bret Boone had all 4 RBI for Seattle. Jason Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Aaron, coincidentily, hit terrible against the Sox. I'll fix it. Jason Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Vern Gagne 0 Report post Posted April 16, 2005 Another win for the Twinkies. Santana didn't have his A stuff. Only went 6 innings...pitch count was around 100. The bullpen shut the door, the final three innings. The Sox are fortunate enough to miss Johan Santana in the two game series coming up Mon-Tues in Chicago.

MarvinisaLunatic 0 Report post Posted April 16, 2005 I went to the Shorebirds A Ball opener,froze my ass off, but saw them beat the Lexington Legends (Houston A) 5-4. The S'Birds starter went 5 innings and struck out 10 but didnt get the win cause the bullpen blew it. Then I got home and saw how the O's clobbered the Yankees and wished I had stayed home to watch that instead. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I decided against that when it was already cold when the sun was up. No chance I was going to be out there without the sun to even keep me warm.

But it was the wind that was a damn pain in the backside and the reason I didn't go out to the game. If there wasn't any wind, 40's really doesn't bother me since I usually stand out in much worse in the winter time. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Fuzzy Dunlop 0 Report post Posted April 16, 2005 Guys, watch real carefully when that A-Rod commercial comes on, the one where he's running through the street, and that woman says "Alex, only one home run today?" At the very end, it shows a stadium light tower, and the lights are slowly going off but the last light to stay on, at the very end, right in the middle of the screen, says "E5."

Mik 0 Report post Posted April 16, 2005 It's nice to watch Braden Looper blow a save to the Marlins instead of for the Marlins. Cabrera was obviously safe at the play at the plate, but then Juan Encarnacion drives in the tying run on the very next play - I thought Cabrera being called out would end the game. Just an awful call, but at least Juan tied it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bruiser Chong 0 Report post Posted April 16, 2005 Yeah, but Gonzalez could've given them the lead since Lo Duca was on third. I give credit to the Marlins, though. Most teams would've folded after that play at the plate went against them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ISportsFan 0 Report post Posted April 16, 2005 Very short game for the White Sox and Mariners today. Buehrle and Franklin worked very well and quickly in a 2-1 White Sox victory. Both pitched complete games, with Buehrle only giving up 3 hits (all to Ichiro) and one walk and Franklin giving up 4 hits, two of which were home runs to Konerko (up to 6 on the season). Buehrle struck out a career high 12 batters. The official time of the game was 1:39, making this the second game under two hours for Buehrle this season.
