Chiefs win, 7-6 :D

Fuld doubles with 2 outs in the 8th -- he's 4-4 + a walk today His average ---> .298 If he can wind up with a .300 average after the miserable start he had to the season, that would be quite the accomplishment!. PLUS, Nathan mentioned earlier that he did the Q&A with Sam earlier today. :D Eric Patterson Ks to end the inning. 7-6 Chiefs to the 9th, sounds like it will be Drew Dickson in for the save

EGADS, 7-6 Chiefs, middle 8 Hyle makes his Peoria debut and gets 2 quick groundball outs then bleeds hits, the worst being a 3-R HR. Teasley is sick with a middle ear infection. Nice start for Weber: 7 innings, 2 r, 2er, 3bb, 4Ks, 96 pitches Thanks! I have the broadcast on, but it's tough to keep up with all the info unless I'm actually at the computer. :)

Standup triple for Eric Patterson - triple #11! He's now in a seven-way tie for 2nd place on the Chiefs single season triples lift Kerry Robinson w/the record = 14 Eric has doubled & tripled today Fuld scores, he's 3-3 and has walked SacFly to warning track for Ryan Harvey - RBI #96 He's now in 4th place on the Chiefs single season list, record = 107 (I think!) .... 7-2 Chiefs, bases loaded, one out, pitching change for the Whitecaps

5-2 Chiefs, bottom of the 5th (2 outs) MiLB put an audio link to the West Tenn - Miss game on their front page.

It took a long time for it to come in for me, but it did eventually. 3-0 Chiefs to the 4th

Harvey hit HR #23 last night and continues to lead the Midwest League in HRs and RBIs. They estimated last night's HR at 470 feet. :shock:

The Brian Dopirak Part 1 interview is done! You can read it in the Chats Forum. Premium Link Regular Link

There are some good minor league matchups tonight. Rich Hill is pitching for the Iowa Cubs vs. New Orleans at 7pm. His games are always fun to listen/watch. West Tenn is continuing to fight for home-field advantage in the playoffs. Greenberg is back in the lineup, and Brandon Sing needs one more HR and one more BB to break the West Tenn season records. Carlos Marmol is starting vs. Mississippi at 7:05pm. Peoria is 3 games out of the MWL Wild Card with 12 regular season games left to play. Matt Weber starts vs. Western Michigan (Tigers) tonight. Ryan Harvey is leading the league in HRs and RBIs. Angel Guzman is scheduled to pitch for the Arizona Cubs tonight ... but there's no broadcast for the AZL games, so you just have to wait for the box score to post.

Good thing he likes "Dope-Slaps!" :D

Here's how MiLB describes it in the article linked above:

MiLB.com has an AFL Preview article up that includes AFL rosters (though it also says the rosters aren't complete yet). MiLB had this to say about Guzman: Guzman is the only Cubs prospect previewed in the article. On the Mesa Solar Sox roster, Buck Coats is designated as a "Taxi Squad" player -- the Taxi Squad is activated for Wednesdays and Sundays only. He's also listed as an infielder.

I swear i "almost" said that on air tonight, a Kelly Leak play...but i didnt! I couldn't remember his name, but that's immediately what I thought of from your description! :) Argh. :( Hope his blister heals up. He's pitched pretty well in Daytona: 6GS, 2-3, 2.12 ERA, 34IPs, 33H, 15R/8ER, 2HR, 19/7

How often do we need to see crap like Prior being overpitched? Plz just DL everyone you want to keep, Hendry. Thanks.

Yes, he already agreed to it. You coming to any games this weekend? Or next? Next weekend! There will be plans made.

Nathan, since tomorrow (Thurs) night is a home game, does that mean that Granato will be the pre-game interview?

and if you did really spit it out, did some go through your nose? :newugh:

Chiefs = 3 back of the wild card with 12 to go!

Just keep hitting it to Fuld. (though it sounds like he just pulled off the kind of play the good kid on the Bad News Bears did under orders) (the original)

3 tough outs 4-pitch walk to the leadoff guy in the bottom of the 9th

They did this like a week or so ago -- can't remember vs who. They actually had Eric Patterson and Harvey consecutively try to sac bunt. The league-leading batting title guy and the league-leading HR guy. I think both sac bunt attempts failed. Larsen HBP for the 19th time! He's going for the Chiefs record.

Also of importance Die Hard hit his 30th home run. Die Hard? Scott McClain. The Bruce Willis character in the Die Hard movie was named McClane ... Eric Patterson with a leadoff walk in the 9th ... Ryan Harvey shows bunt, strike 1 ... Eric takes off -- great jump -- foul bunt, strike 2 ... outside ball 1 -- Ryan showing bunt again pitchout 2-2 -- showing again and Ryan Ks bunting through strike 3.
