Foul Ball: Mt. Ozzie Erupts

Chicago White Sox 3, Chicago Cubs 6: The White Sox jumped out to a 3-0 lead by the first inning and then saw the Cubs take a 6-3 lead by the sixth inning. Mt. Ozzie erupted in that sixth inning when Alexei Ramirez hit what appeared to be a foul ball but was called a fair ball and Ramirez was tagged out. Of course Ozzie disagreed with the call and let the umpire hear about. In the process Ozzie kicked Cubs catcher Geovany Sota's mask like a soccer ball. High comedy watching Mt. Ozzie blow it's top.

Ozzie on kicking the catcher's mask: From the AP: “If I kicked it 20 years ago I might of broke my toe. They make the masks so light and so good. No. I don’t feel anything. I just saw it fly out of there,” he said. I love this man.



Cleveland 7, Colorado 8: Summer starts today and the Rockies offense has blossomed in the summer heat. The Rockies scored six runs in the fifth inning capped off by a Jason Giambi three-run home run. When the Rockies start rolling on offense, it's hard to find a scarier team in the National League. The Reds nor the Phillies have scarier offenses when everything is rolling.


Pittsburgh 3, Baltimore 8: In a rematch of the 71 and 79 World Series's, the Orioles pounded the Pirates. Adam Jones grounded into a double play and knocked in two runs for the Orioles. Even the Orioles starting pitcher, Jake Arrieta, drove in a run. Arrieta also pitched five innings giving up three hits and three runs but picked up the victory.

Florida 1, Anaheim 2: New hard ass manager. Same crappy result for the ankle breakers. Torii Hunter broke the ankle breakers hearts when he grounded out to third in the eighth inning which scored the game-winning run. (This is what the Marlins new/old manager Jack McKeon did during a rain delay.)

Atlanta 2, Toronto 0: In a rematch of the 92 World Series, the Braves shut out the Blue Jays. Not only did Tim Hudson shut down the Blue Jays in eight innings of work, Hudson also drove in the only runs of the game. In the seventh inning, Hudson drilled a two-run home run. Now that's doing everything yourself.

Cincinnati 3, New York 5: The Yankees scored four runs in the first inning and it was all over for the Reds. Ivan Nova went eight innings for the Yankees and only gave up four hits and one run while striking out seven.

Texas 8, Houston 3: The Rangers thrashed their instate rival on Monday night. Adrian Beltre had three hits and two RBIs on the night. Josh Hamilton hit a two-run triple in the second inning. Derek Holland gave up three runs in 7.1 innings of work, but that didn't hurt a thing since the Rangers scored eight runs on the night.

Boston 14, San Diego 5: Amazingly this game was tied in the seventh inning. Then the Red Sox exploded for a ten run seventh inning which started with former Padre Adrian Gonzalez's double. Even more amazing, the Red Sox scored ten runs that inning without hitting a home run.
