Dodgers beat the Giants again, 4-3. :victory:

Broxton gets another save, this time with little drama. :sweat:

Man, I wish the Jays could play the Twinkies 162 times a year. :hehe:

^^ Ken Drabek is the son of Doug Drabek, winner of the 1990 Cy Young in the NL. :mrgreen:

:headscratch: Marc is not hard to pronounce, just like the last 4 letters of your user name. :rolleyes2:

That's why I said LAST name :beatyou:

Dodgers get hammered by the Giants on national TV, 10-0. :bleh:

Oooops. :bonk: Did a search, someone from Toronto says:
Marc's name is pronounced Zep-chin-ski. In Toronto, we call him 'Zep!

So, Rzepczynski = Zepchinski. In other words, "just like it's spelled!!" :rolleyes2:

Yup, you got it right. Don't worry, Cito used to struggle too. :hehe:

"I'm practicing it myself," Blue Jays manager Cito Gaston said with a laugh. "I think it's probably going to become 'Zep' more than anything else. That's what I would think -- keep it simple. But I'm pretty sure his parents and a lot of his relatives would love for us to say 'Zep-chin-ski.'"

The halcyon days of the "Mattingly Era" could be over. :beaten:

Meanwhile, Ichiro went 2-for-4, became Seattle's all-time franchise leader in hits passing Edgar Martinez. :applaud:

Sox got pummeled by the Rangers again last night, 12-5, now a team ERA of 10.50 after 2 games. :bleh: Beltre had a bit of revenge against them by hitting a GS off Lackey. :usuck:

Sox gave up 11 HRs this weekend. :sweat:
The only good thing was that Papi got his first HR early this season.

Adrian started off well, him you don't worry about and Ellsbury looks healthy which is a good sign, but that pitching, sigh, 24 innings so far, 26 runs allowed, :twisted: hope they don't fall to far back of the O's. :sweat:

Yeah, Gonzalez did have a good start.

He's such a solid player, think he was a better pickup than Crawford, wasn't for Pujois he could be the best 1B in the game. :applaud: Guess after Lee there wasn't really any good starters out there worth getting so hard to fault them for not getting pitching but the starters were getting rocked in spring training too. :puppydog:

Dodgers beat the Giants again, 7-5, despite the fact that Broxton tried to blow another lead in the top of the ninth by giving up a home run. :shakehead:

Sox woes continue as they lose in Cleveland 3-1 managing only 4 hits, :grumble: could have been worse as Beckett allows 9 baserunners in 5 innings but the Tribe only managed to score 3 runs, bullpen pitched well though but no comeback was in the cards tonight. :shakehead: Least the Bombers :usuck: lost tonight, blowing a 4 run lead in the 8th against the Twinkies. :hehe:

Dodgers get shut out by the Rockies, 3-0. :(

Dodgers lose to the Rockies again, 7-5. :bleh:
