Foul Ball: Muttonchops, Mustaches, & Beards

Toronto 6 San Francisco 9: The Giants saved themselves from being swept and also picked up their first victory in a AL ballpark. Freddy Sanchez picked the perfect time to hit his first homer of the season. Sanchez's three-run home run would give the Giants the lead that they would never relinquish. Aubrey Huff and Pat Burrell also homered on a day when starting pitcher Jonathon Sanchez had little control and was pulled by the third inning.

Stay Classy, Fred Lewis: Former Giant and current Blue Jay Fred Lewis is a hot topic with Giants fans. Especially fans over at McCovey Chronicles have long obsessed over Lewis and haven't forgiven GM Brian Sabean over giving up/trading Lewis. Well that good will is now over with Giants fans after these comments by Lewis about Giants fans on his Facebook page.

"Role call for all the F@GS on my page. If you don’t delete yourself I will do it for you ok. If you have a Twitter name by these names you so G@@Y-SFNando, 55Franchise Kelly McQuiggan and goldengatebias home girls get your you what off my page. Oh yeah another W today run tell that…..LOL more jealous fans(giants)”

I for one was never a Fred Lewis fan. He was absolutely terrible in the outfield and was never that great at the plate. These comments just amplified my dislike for Lewis. Stay classy, Fred Lewis.

NY Yankees 4 NY Mets 0: When the Yankees aren't kicking Lady Gaga out of their clubhouse, they are beating the Mets two out of three games over the weekend. C.C. Sabathia bested another CY Young award winner, this time being Johan Santana. Mark Teixeira homered and drove in all four runs for the Yankees.

Colorado 1 Milwaukee 6: The Brewers exploded for five runs in the ninth inning to beat the Rockies. Cory Hart and Rickie Weeks each hit a two-run doubles in the ninth. Trevor Hoffman didn't blow the lead in the ninth and picked up the victory. Oh yeah, there was a Chris Anderson sighting at the ballpark.

Philadelphia 1 Minnesota 4: Carl Pavano's mustache was greater than Roy Halladay's beard yesterday. Pavano pitched a complete game giving up four hits, one run, no walks, and striking out two. Justin Morneau and Denard Span both homered off of Halladay who is now 8-6 on the year.

Boston 2 Los Angeles 0: Manny Ramirez made his first return to Boston since being traded by the Red Sox two years ago and got swept out of Fenway with the rest of the Dodgers. Clay Buchholz pitched 6 2/3 innings giving up three hits and no runs while Daniel Bard and Jonathon Papelbon combined to 2 1/3 innings of scoreless relief.

Picture of the Day: Check out Brian Tallot's muttonchops. Remind you of someone?


Video of the Day: Today in baseball team theme songs, we have the Toronto Blue Jays.

  2. The Phillies bullpen is flat out depressing. I am going to the game on Tuesday. Hopefully our offense gives the Pen a 10-0 lead, that way we might have a chance.
