mike546 0 Report post Posted June 1, 2005 Gotta hand it to KC, they did play a heck of a game, save Stairs getting tossed out a third trying to stretch an overthrow from first. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Not really, it was more the Yankees fucking up. Bernie getting a pathetic jump on Stairs double which Matsui would have had, Matt Stairs of all people tagging up easily on a catch in short CF by Bernie which reached the cut off man on a bounce, Cano throwing it past Tino when he had no chance on the double play, A-Rod throwing to first on the impossible throw when he should have not thrown it with a runner on 2nd, Wolmack getting picked off 1st, Posada swinging at a 2-0 pitch after Cisco hadn't thrown ONE strike in the inning, Bernie and Rube not swinging ONCE with Matsui on 1st, Jwter swinging at three HORRIBLE pitches in the 9th. Tell me if I left anything out. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bruiser Chong 0 Report post Posted June 1, 2005 Cubs' pitching comes together to throw a 10-inning one-hitter in a exciting 2-1 win over the Dodgers. Penny and Zambrano both went eight, but ultimately, it was up to the pens. Neifi Perez of all people drove in the winning run. The bottom of the 10th wasn't without drama, though, as Dempster smashed Antonio Perez in the head on the payoff pitch. Nervewrecking, but five in a row for the Cubs, and another save not blown by Dempster. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

EDIT: And RJ has already given up two runs. *sigh* What is it with Randy Johnson and sliders? He gotten everyone out lately with fastballs, but all the runs hes given up, now three today, came off SUCKY sliders. Edited June 2, 2005 by mike546 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest OSIcon Report post Posted June 2, 2005 Brian Roberts went back to Baltimore earlier today to have an MRI done on his shoulder. He sat out yesterday after mentioning soreness in his right shoulder, but made it sound like he could have played. They say that it still could just be muscular and he will take the Detroit series off no matter what the MRI shows. Hopefully it is just muscle soreness and nothing worse because the O's really don't need another injury (especially to Roberts) right now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mike546 0 Report post Posted June 2, 2005 If the words, DON'T PITCH TO DAVID ORTIZ WITH A GAME ON THE LINE aren't at the top of every teams scouting reports against the Red Sox, it needs to start now. I *think* there were runners on 2nd and 3rd, and in that case, I don't care it lefty/lefty, I walk Ortiz. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bruiser Chong 0 Report post Posted June 2, 2005 That makes no sense. Intentionally walk Ortiz to get to Manny Ramirez? If this is three weeks ago, MAYBE, but when you've got the most dominant left-handed closer in the game against a guy who has traditionally struggled against lefties, you take your chances with him and don't set-up a lefty/righty match-up with one of the premiere hitters in the game; a hitter who has been on a tear the last week.

mike546 0 Report post Posted June 3, 2005 You miss Radke and Santana.Plus Mauer, Morneau and Punto are all hurt for the Twins. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> We just got swept by the Royals in seriously the most pathetic three games I've ever seen them play. The amount of dumbass plays commited in the last three games seriously reminds me of the complaining done by cubs fans last year when a Cubs player made a running mistake everday. Whether it was Bernie getting thrown out at 2nd trying to tag up and killing a rally, or Giambi getting caught in a run down, or Wolmack getting picked off. The starting pitching was once again bad. Brown and Pavano blew chunks, Pavanos given up now TWENTY more hits than innings, and 14 home runs. The D was pathetic. Bernie throwing to the wrong base, Cano killing a double play, Posada with three passed balls. Also, nobody is hitting, absolutley no one. The Royals starting pitching, horrible beside Grenkie, kept us down, including a 4 hitter against a guy with a NINE era. Their bullpen held us to one run in ten innings. The only positive I can get out of this series is that Tanyon Sturtze and Gordon continue to dominate, both with ERAS now under two. I honestly wouldn't be shocked to be swept by the Twins.
