Could be worse, Phillies went into NY and got shut out all 3 games. :beaten:

Phillies are like the Rockies once were, take them out of that homer haven and they're a different ballclub. :bleh:

Female knuckleballer, 18, to debut Saturday in Chico

The Chico Outlaws have dubbed their new pitcher "The Knuckle Princess." It's safe to say no other player in pro baseball history has worn that tag.

LOL, I'd say that would be a very safe remark. :victory: :rofl:

Sure you would know, isn't Ely from the Dodgers a knuckleball pitcher too? :doh: Noticed he's been pitching well as of late. Wakefield knows first hand how a knuckler can prolong a career, 16th season with the Sox. :applaud:

I was referring to the "Princess" tag... Unless you know something about Ely that I don't. :P

Figured you would know if it was a yes or no, thought I read it somewhere, there is another knuckler in MLB, just wasn't sure who. :beatyou:

The Dodgers' knuckleballer is Charlie Haeger. When he went on the disabled list, they called up Ely to replace him.

The only thing "disabled" about Haeger is his knuckleball seeing that his record is 0-4 with an 8.49 ERA. :beaten:

Didn't make the rest of the NL happy when he went on :doh: ... Sox did the same thing with Beckett, got shelled couple starts in a row, put him on the DL, couldn't it be that they just get shelled because they pitched bad, not that they were injured? :beaten:
Hard to figure the Sox out, :grumble: go into Tampa and sweep the best team in baseball, then come home and lose 2 to the Royals, hammered tonight by them 12-5, Wakefield needs to get tips from her, :bleh: not the other way around, allowed 12 hits in 3+ innings.

Dodgers defeat the Rockies, 5-4, in Colorado.

For the second time this month history was made, :applaud: as the Phillies Roy Halladay faced 27 Marlins and all 27 went down, guess you all know what that means. :victory: Final score was 1-0 as the Marlins pitchers were almost as good, only run scored was on an error. :doh:

How many guess do I get? :P

^ They said it was the first time since 1880 that there have been two in one season and we still got 4 months to go!! :woot:

I'll give you three, hopefully we won't see a K next to your name. :hehe:

Sox finally upended the Royals tonight by a 1-0 score, another strong outing by Bucholz, who may be the ace of the staff now. :victory:

Yeah, there's only been 20 perfectos in MLB history but there's been 4 in the last 7 years. :bow:

Dodgers get routed by the Rockies, 11-3.

The Angels Kendry Morales hits a walk-off grand slam to beat the Mariners in extra innings, then proceeds to break his leg in the celebration at home plate.

Sad, but I couldn't help but chuckle at the irony of it all. :beaten:

When Kuroda got picked off second I was trying to remember if there's a Japanese equivalent of the phrase, "Did you ever have one of those days" :beaten:

That deserves a big chuckle, :doh: lot of athletes in all sports have had a lot of stupid and freakish injuries like that in the last few years. Gonna hurt the Angels, he's probably their best hitter. :sweat:
Sox put it all together today and pound the Royals 8-1, :victory: another strong outing for Lester, him and Bucholz have almost 1/2 their wins so far.

Yeah, a big chuckle since it's the Angels, the other, bogus L.A. baseball team. :P

L.A.'s real baseball team, the Dodgers, take the rubber game from the Rockies, 4-3.
