It's Padilla with a 6.65 ERA vs. Wakefield with one of 5.42 :doh: ...probably end up 1-0. :hehe:

Or 0-0 for extra innings. :hehe:

And in the big Apple, Hisanori Takahashi pitches 6 shutout innings, the Mets beat the Yankees 4-0 :woot:

He's been pitching real well for them, maybe he needs to give Kawakimi some tips. :puppydog:
Sox squeak out a victory in the 9th inning against the Dodgers 5-4, :sweat: the DH for them though had his 8th HR of the year and swiped his first SB to the dismay of the Fenway faithful. :grumble: Matchup tomorrow is Kuroda and Bucholz, both have been pitching well, probably end up 9-8, :hehe: it's the ESPN Sunday night game.

Broxton does it again for the Dodgers. :shakehead: :shakehead: :shakehead:

Worthless. :grumble:

Dodgers on the verge of getting swept by the BoSox....

Interleague play: :shakehead: :shakehead: :shakehead:

EDIT: Final score, 2-0, BoSox. :(

Light Monday night again in MLB, only 3 games. :puppydog: Next up for the Sox is Colorado, as they travel to the Mile High City, only 1 game out now, they've done real well in interleague play so far. :victory: And in a rematch for bragging rights to LA, Dodgers travel to Anaheim.

Another sweep. :sweat:

Dodgers lose again, 6-3, to the Angels.

The June Swoon is in full swing. :sweat:

Better now than September.
Sox go on the road and lose to the Rockies 2-1, good pitching for them but the bats were too silent. :shamefulcry:

If they're not already out of it by then. :sweat:

Iwamure optioned to Triple-A

NEW YORK, June 23 (16:00)


Japanese second baseman Akinori Iwamura, who has been dropped
from the Pittsburgh Pirates' 40-man roster, will join Triple-A
Indianapolis, he said on his blog Tuesday.

Iwamura was designated for assignment by the Pirates last
Wednesday.

At the time, the team said it would search for a trade over the
next 10 days, but since the situation appeared bleak decided to have
him join the Triple-A club ahead of schedule.

Iwamura was dealt to the Pirates in a trade from the Tampa Bay
Rays at the end of the 2009 season but hit just .182 with two home
runs and nine RBIs in 54 games this season.


I think just leaves Ichiro and Hideki Matsui as the only two Japanese in MLB that aren't pitchers.

Edit: Forgot about my homie Fukudome with the Cubs. :omg:

Dodgers lose yet again to the Angels, 2-1. :shakehead:

That six straight losses. :bleh:

And the Yankees come to town this weekend, then the Dodgers go back on the road for 6 games. This could get real ugly. :bleh:

It's already ugly.

It's so unbelievable that they'd be this awful in interleague play. :puppydog:

Up 6-5 in the 9th against the Rockies, Papplebon allows HR, single, HR, :usuck: end of game as the Sox lose their second in a row in Colorado, :puppydog: after tonight's game it's on to San Fran to play the Giants.

Welcome to Coors Field. You're lucky, the Dodgers go there at least twice a year and I hate watching those games because there's no such thing as a safe lead. The score can be 10-3 in the 8th inning and your still sitting there hoping they can hold on. :sweat:

And yet Hideo Nomo pitches a no-hitter in that park. :crazy: :nut:

The baseball gods were smiling on him that day.

Dodgers go 3-6 on the road trip FINALLY beating the Halos 10-6. Wanna know how bad Dodger pitching is? Charlie Haeger gave up 4 runs in 4 2/3 innings and his ERA improved!! :nut:

Yankees in town tonite, Vincente Padilla pitching for the Dodgers, his record is 1-1 with a 6.67 ERA. :beaten:
