Re: Games in which the Cubs are not playing

Funny thing is that that is typical for Verlander. He likes to "empty the tank" (possibly his words) as the end of a start is coming.

 

He entered the 9th with only 100 pitches and 4 straight K's.

By the way, the guy who broke up the no-no: Josh Harrison. Remember him? Is it me, or when No hitters are broken up late in games, is it usually done by the Josh Harrisons of the world? Do we even remember the name of the guy who broke up Armando Gallargo's perfect game even though he really didn't?

I just noticed that every team in the NL Eastbis above .500 (you're welcome Phillies). Is that rare for this point in the season?

I doubt it is very rare. Everybody in the AL East is .500 or better. It's only a quarter of the way in so a lot of teams haven't even played each other yet.

Last night I heard Len say something about Marshall getting the save last night despite Chapman being named closer. Turns out Chapman was having some legal issues a few hours before that game.

Carlos Pena is leading of for Tampa.

[El Duderino]

Cardinals just got shut out by Kyle Kendrick.

[Smack]

Jered Weaver just broke himself. Knee or ankle, couldn't tell, out of the game in the first.

LA reporters are now saying back strain? idk... didn't look good...

[Rizzo Smash]

Twins were down 2-0 and Josh Willingham hit a walk-off homer. Good for fecal league positioning.

A week later and every team in both eastern divisions is over .500.

Apparently Pierzynski slid in late and cleated Ben Zobrist yesterday and earlier in this game, the Tampa pitcher plunked Pierzynski in the back.

[El Duderino]

Mariners up 14-0 on Rangers with 1 out in the 3rd. Derrek Holland gave up 8 ER.

Now 16-0 after the third.

Would have been nice if Wegner also ejected Hawk from the booth

Not sure who the color guy was but at the end of the Yankees-Angels game, one of them said the following:

 

"With the runners moving there, that's Mike Scioscia having an awful lot of confidence that his hitter, Mark Trumbo, that he at least is going to put that ball in play. That speaks volumes right there of what he speaks of Trumbo."

 

The problem is that it was a full count and two outs in the ninth inning.

[El Duderino]

Cards getting no-hit through 7 by Johan Santana.

[Garwilly]

Also, 105 pitches.
