Game Thread: 9.16 D-Rod vs Weak Hitting Pitcher

[LHG]

Who happens to get his 2nd hit of the season to give the Rockies a 2-0 lead.

Blanco - rf (he is 4 for 28 with 2 walks so let's have him lead off. Well he did get a hit)
Panik - 2nd
Longoria - 3rd
Crawford - ss
Slater - 1st
Shaw - lf (there goes his trade value!)
Garcia - c (what an insult to Hundley!)
Hernandez - cf
Rodriguez - sp (doesn't look like his best game)

 

[LHG]

Two really lame strike calls in a row against Crawford.

Oops, wrong thread.

 

[LHG]

Black looked shaky there at first but he got a generous call for strike 3 from the umpire (little payback from the Crawford calls) and then the nice double play pulled off by Panik and Crawford.

Thanks to two of the runs being unearned. He didn't have his best game but he still looked pretty good.

I hate to go here, but maybe the rox can get back into first at the end of the day. Although the dogs are looking like a playoff team lately. Drat.

The Cardinals need to start playing like they want to make the playoffs, starting with tonight's game.

Slater!

Amazing.

I've removed teams at or above .500 as they have no real chance of getting top 10 picks (unless they tank like the Giants have). The Giants, meanwhile, are close to being eliminated from the 3rd pick. The Marlins just need to lose two more games. Three more White Sox and Padre losses, each team, will knock the Giants all the way down to 6th pick being the best case scenario. On the other end, the Giants have to win all of their remaining games, and the Dodgers lose all theirs, in order to have the two teams tie at the end of the season. That is how slim the Giants' playoff chances are at this point.
1) Baltimore 43-106 - (13 games left) (1-2)
2) Kansas City 52-97 9 (13) (1-8)
3) Miami 58-91 15 (13) (2-12)
4) White Sox 59-90 16 (13) (2-12)
5) San Diego 60-90 16.5 (12) (2-12)
6) Detroit 61-88 18 (13) (2-14)
7) Cincinnati 64-86 20.5 (12) (2-16)
8) Texas 64-85 21 (13) (2-16)
9) Toronto 67-82 24 (13) (3-17)
10) Minnesota 68-81 25 (13) (3-18)
11) Mets 69-80 26 (13) (3-22)
12) Giants 70-80 26.5 (12) (3-22)
13) Anaheim 74-76 30.5 (12) (5-25)

Glad they lost today. Higher draft pick. Helps the Rox against the Dogs. And all this winning lately has made my head spin. Glad that's over, and we can resume the two wins in September march.

How can a guy with a 2.30 ERA be 6-4?

Sabey Sabes better stir things up and get a hitter or two for next season.

Yeah, nice jinx with the GDT title.

Yeah, nice jinx with the GDT title.

I wrote it after their pitcher got that hit. All the Kruk & Kuip talk about his one hit on the season and how he doesn't look like a one hit pitcher made me wonder if he was going to get a hit. Sure enough, he does.

 

[1phlapdown]

The Cards are finally fighting back. Up 4-0 in the 6th.

 

[1phlapdown]

63 innings.

That's quite a dearth. It must be approaching a record.

Dogs lose 5-0, back to second place!
