Foul Ball: Willie Steamin' McGee

A face only a mother would love

Cincinnati 6, St. Louis 3: The Reds offense finally woke up yesterday afternoon under the Missouri sun. Brandon Phillips hit his first home run and RBI yesterday to go along with home runs from Drew Stubbs and Ryan Ludwick. Adam Wainwright's horrendous start of the season continued. His ERA is up to 9, even worse his FIP is into the 6's. Woof.

Chicago 2, Florida Miami 5: Epic day of fail for the Cubbies. The Cubs stranded eight base runners while the Marlins took whatever base they wanted. The Marlins stole four bases yesterday. Four bases in a single game. Just stop playing baseball right now Cubs and come back when Theo has rebuilt you.

Tampa Bay 9, Toronto 4: Evan Longoria had a goofy night. He homered, doubled, drove in four runs, and committed an error that lead to a Toronto victory. Another Longoria fact, the Rays have 9 errors on the year and Longoria has 6 of them.

Pat Tabler Quote Fail: Look at this insight from the Blue Jays color analyst: "Velocity doesn't mean outs." Shit! I thought velocity meant perfect games all these years.

Buck Martinez Quote Fail: Not to be outdone by Tabler's idiocy, Buck Martinez unloaded this gem: "I think sometimes a double is better than a home run." Martinez tried to explain that a double puts the pitcher in the stretch. Most logical thinking people though would take the home run every time. Buck Martinez is not logical.


Baltimore 5, Chicago 3: Take a snapshot of this. The Orioles are in first place two weeks into the season. Someone break that team up before the fans of Baltimore actually believe this team can make the playoffs. Also let's just say the Orioles were helped by the home plate ump in the ninth inning. Oh and a young White Sox fan was practicing for when he runs onto the field to beat up a first base coach. He was ejected from the game.

Atlanta 10, Arizona 2: This game would have gone by a lot quicker if Michael Bourn didn't have to delay the game for a bathroom break. Game would have also been quicker if the Diamondbacks didn't give up so many runs.

Oakland 4, Anaheim 2: This series has been one goofy stat after the other. Wednesday night Bartolo Colon threw 38 straight strikes and Thursday night all four of the Oakland baserunners that scored last night reached base either via error or walk. At this moment the Angels are dead last in the American League West.

Minnesota 6, New York 7: Once again the Twins jumped out to a 4-0 lead in the first inning to once again blow that lead. The Yankees though wouldn't lose this game. Curtis Granderson hit three home runs on the night but after calculating the park adjustment factor, Granderson only hit 1 1/2 home runs last night. Sorry but home runs should only count as half in that little league park.
