Yeah, hopefully he's 'woken up.'
He was really hearing it from the fans during the last home games. :sweat:

Zambrano gave up 5 runs in the first and no water jugs got smashed. He's maturing. :P

Broxton blows another save and the Dodgers lose to the Marlins in the 9th, 5-4. :shakehead: :shakehead: :shakehead:


$#%^&*@#^#%!!! :grumble: :grumble: :grumble:

^^ Well, in his defense the error by Carroll lost the game for them though as usual he was a bit shaky. :sweat:

Carroll didn't walk the batter, though.

Broxton should change his name to Hoover, 'cause he sucks. :grumble:

^^ Was looking at their roster, bad as he can be don't really see any good alternatives there. :bleh:
Weaver continues his huge start by going to 6-0 and going all the way in a SO last night, ERA is now below 1.00. :bow:

I think Mattingly should roll in a pitching machine if they need relief next time.

Sox were lucky to avoid him. :mrgreen:

Dodgers lose to the Marlins, 4-2. :(

Mets beat the Nationals 6-4. Ryota Igarashi gets his first win of the year. :victory:

Dodgers and Marlins tied up 4-4 in the 8th... Wonder how the Dodger bullpen will lose this game. :sweat:

EDIT: Wow, I was wrong this time: Dodgers win on a solo shot by Andre Ethier in the top of the 10th, 5-4.

And Ethier has also extended his Major League record hitting streak for the month of April to 24 games. :applaud:

And Padilla got the save. :cleanup:
Sox against the O's in the second of the 3 game series, last night took it on the chin 4-1. Buchholz got shelled, 12 hits in 6 innings and the hitters forgot they weren't facing the Angels pitchers. :nut:

From yesterday's Tigers-M's game, not as good as Jose but still a big time blooper. :rofl:

Sox salvage the final game against the O's by whipping them 6-2. :victory: Another good outing by Lester as he improves to 3-1 by going 8 innings, top of the order also did great, first 3 batters combined for 8 hits, :woot: just need the bottom of the order to start carrying their weight. :grumble: The Rays are one hot team right now, about to sweep the Twins in a DH, big day for Zobrist of the Rays, so far 10(!) RBIs in the 2 games. :applaud:

Dodgers beat the Padres despite Broxton giving up three hits and a run in the top of the 9th :shakehead: , 3-2.

On a happier note, Andre Ethier gets a hit for the 25th consecutive game. :applaud:

^^ Ahhh, who would want a 1-2-3 inning, always better to have a bit of drama. :nut:
Sox should have stayed out West, have lost 3 out of 4 since coming back East as the lose to the M's 5-4. Score could have been worse, pitchers allowed 8 walks and combined to throw 183 pitches, fielders tend to fall asleep when the pitchers take forever like they did. :sweat:

^ M's are pretty hot right now. They just got done beating up the Tigers 3 straight, 7-3, 10-1, and 7-2. They may not want to go back home.

Angels lose to the Rays in extra innings, 2-1. :victory: :twisted:

And what a way to lose, on a wild pitch. :rofl: Halladay shows no signs of slowing down from last year as he goes all the way in a 2-1 victory over the Mets, one way to prevent the bullpen from blowing it is to have someone like him pitch for you every 5 days, give him the ball and let the rest of the staff play cards in the clubhouse. :mrgreen:

All the more enjoyable. :twisted:
