Baseball (MLB, WBC, College, etc.)

Dodgers tie the game in the 7th, only to have the bullpen melt down again, and they lose to the Padres, 5-2. :shakehead:

Ethier goes 2-4, extending his hitting streak to 26 games. :victory:

Dodgers get trounced by the Padres, 7-0. :shakehead:

Andre Ethier extends his hitting streak to 27 games, going 1 for 3.

Sox finally get back on the victory track today edging the M's 3-2 on a run in the 9th. Wakefield started, did well but Jenks gave up the lead, he's really struggling, ERA over 9.00 and a WHIP of 2.5. :doh: In Halladay's CG victory on Saturday, his first 18 pitches were strikes, threw 107 overall, 80 for strikes, Sox pitchers should be made to watch videos of his games, maybe then they can learn to throw strikes. :grumble:

Dodgers beat the Cubs, 5-2, and Andre Ethier extends his hitting streak to 28 games. :applaud:

BoSox beat the Angels yet again, 9-5. :mrgreen: :applaud:

^^ Shame they're not in the AL East where they could play them more, Weaver finally lost his first game but it was really the bullpen that put the game out of reach for the Angels. :bleh: Real pitching duel tonight, Haren vs. Lester, both are on top of their game right now...watch it be a 9-7 game. :nut:

Oddly, the Angels typically play well against the Yanks... I think they were the only team with a winning record against Torre's Yankees. :headscratch:

^^ Think you're right, recall reading that, they did beat them in the playoffs a few times. Funny how sometimes good teams have a hard time with some weak teams, when the Indians were horrible seemed as though every year they had a winning record against the Sox. :nut:

Hmmm, too much soju for Mr. Choo. :beatyou:

First no-hitter of the season tonight as the Twins Liriano :applaud: throws one against the suddenly hapless White Sox. Not even close to perfection though, allowed 6 walks, :doh: this effort was from a pitcher who started the game with an ERA close to 8.00! :nut:

Wow, from the basement to the penthouse... Via the express elevator. :mrgreen:

BoSox beat the Angels again, 7-3. :victory: :applaud:

Broxton walks two batter in the top of the 9th with the scored tied, 1-1, and the Dodgers lose to the Cubs, 4-1.

Worthless. :grumble:

EDIT: Ethier extends his hitting streak to 29 games. :applaud:

Another strong game by Lester going 7 strong innings :victory: and Adrian finally hit a HR, his BA is solid but that was only his second of the season, hopefully he's saving them up for the next time they face the Yanks. :twisted:
Phils keep on rolling, this time it was Hamel who threw a CG, they're hard to beat now but once the offense starts hitting and Utley comes back that could be one race over by the all-star break. :sweat:

Dodgers lose again, 5-1, to the Cubs.

Ethier's streak holds at 29, since he didn't play today.

Sox are in the midst of a 2 hour rain delay right now, no score after 4 innings, how long do they wait? :bleh: Beckett was pitching well, no it'll go down as a wasted start though, :puppydog: for the Angels Santana has no hit the Sox for four innings but he won't be there if they start again. Speaking of no hitters there was almost another tonight as Tim Hudson one hits the Brewers, :applaud: also allowed only one walk as the Braves sweep a DH from the Brew Crew. :beaten:

What a long game at Fenway yesterday/today, game started at 7:05, with the rain delay it didn't get over until 2:00, couldn't have been too many fans in the park. :nut: Sox ended up losing 5-3 in 13 innings, it's their own fault, scored 2 in the bottom of the 9th to tie it. And had to get right back at it today, 1:35 start this afternoon, so far it's a dreadful score. :beaten:

They got hammered today Lackey gave up 8 runs. :shakehead:
The bats were asleep again today. :sweat:

^^ Only saving grace is 1) He won't be pitching for another 5 days and 2) Yanks :twisted: lost their 3rd straight to the Tigers so Sox remain only 4 back, Rays have quietly crept up to only 1 game out. :sweat:
