naiwf 0 Report post Posted May 28, 2006 Paul Lo Duca just had a little league steal where he took off while Nolasco was in his wind-up. By the time Nolasco realized he was running Paul was about 20 feet from 2nd. A couple of pitches later Beltran hit one (his 14th in 146 AB) to the moon, 7-3 Mets over the AAA affiliate of the former World Champion Florida Marlins.

Vampiro69 0 Report post Posted May 28, 2006 I feel bad for fans of baseball in Kansas City. The team is just plain horrible. About the only thing the Royals have going for them is the coolness of Kaufman Stadium. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Smues Report post Posted May 28, 2006 Atlanta leads the Cubs 6-4 in the top of the 2nd. Smoltz gave up 4 in the 1st, but the Cubs rookie pitcher has given up four homeruns, 3 in this inning alone. This could be quite the slugfest. edit: And Ryu is out of the game after an inning and a third. Now bring out Ken! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
devo 0 Report post Posted May 28, 2006 Hernandez has been taken out of the game, thankfully after having an okay start (5 IP, 3 ER, 3 BB, 7 K, 1 HR). Besides the home run, Orlando put on an encouragingly good performance. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
naiwf 0 Report post Posted May 28, 2006 El Duque will be fine, he just needs to get that pitch count down in his next start(s). On a completely unrelated note, I just spotted that Soriano's got 18 HR and 12 SB and given that Washington's already out of it I think we might just see the 4th 40/40 season in MLB history.

Guest Smues Report post Posted May 28, 2006 Smoltz is struggling but a great throw from Francouer keeps the game at 6-4. When are people going to learn you don't run on Francouer. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Smues Report post Posted May 28, 2006 And Rusch has struck out 7 through 3 innings of relief. I'd 2nd the DUSTY BAKER IS A GOD comment, but the Atlanta Braves striking out a lot is nothing new. And of course the fact that dusty sucks. That too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bruiser Chong 0 Report post Posted May 28, 2006 It's funny on those days the team can be bothered to score more than three runs, the pitching is booty. And barring a ninth-inning Astros comeback and Cubs win, a mere game and a half will separate the Pirates and Cubbies. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Smues Report post Posted May 28, 2006 The Cubs indeed are still in this game. Our bullpen has been decent this year but by no means a sure thing. And with the wind blowing out like it is the Cubs are bound to hit some homeruns of their own. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
