Heh, I was thinking the same thing... I don't think anyone's ever done that...

Dodgers lose again, 3-2, Ex-Dodger Shawn Green does all the damage and gets some payback... :sweat:

Yankees pound the Angels, 12-4. :hehe:

Seen this on mlb.com, just crazy! "See ya!" :hehe:

benitez out 4 months! :grumble: :shamefulcry: :shamefulcry: :shamefulcry:

It's the closer curse of the Giants. :shamefulcry: First Nen, now Benitez.

Well with all these injuries to the pitching staff and demotion of Jerome Williams, I'm just waiting for Sabean to promote Matt Cain. This is the young kid I've been high on in the Giant's farm system. So far coming into today in 3 starts he is 2-0 (1 was a CG) with a 2.45 ERA. Yielded 9 hits in 18.1 IP while striking out 19. Then today the kid goes 7.1 for his 3rd win allowing 1 hit and punching out 10! Bring him up already! I'm dying to see him pitch live! :woot: :mrgreen:

Major League Debut by Chien-Ming Wang for the Yankees on their 4-3 victory over Toronto! He played til the 7th and was pitching quite good, he only gave up 2 runs in the 5th, no base hit til the 4th. Sometimes you could see that he's a little unexperienced, once he was "chilling" with the ball on 1st base and forgot about the runner on 2nd who, fortunately, didn't dare to go home and remained on 3rd. :D

Dodgers back on the winning track, 6-2, over the Rockies... :sweat:

Giants 4 in a row! We're getting hot now :D

Wow sweeping the Pirates! Great start from rookie Hennessey. 5 in a row and here comes the D-Backs!

Dodgers beat the Rockies, 2-1, and sweep the series...! :woot:

Yeah, time zones my ass! :hehe:

6-2 victory over the Devil Rays, their defense was pretty bad which cost them the game. Hollins wasn't even close when he tried to catch an easy fly ball in the 4th, haha. :hehe:
But a great play by closer Rivera, he striked out the side at the bottom of the 9th! :woot:

Angels beat the Mariners last night, 5-0, but everyone's talking about Ichiro's great catch that stole a home run from Garret Anderson:

--------------------------------------------------------------
SEATTLE (AP) -- Even after a victory over the Seattle Mariners, the Los Angeles Angels were talking about Ichiro Suzuki's sensational catch.

Suzuki climbed the right-field fence in the seventh inning Monday night to rob Garret Anderson of a second home run.

``I don't know if I've ever seen a better catch,'' Angels manager Mike Scioscia said. ``That was incredible. You can tell he practices that.''

Jarrod Washburn pitched four-hit ball into the eighth inning and the Angels got two-run homers from Steve Finley and Anderson in a 5-0 victory.

The Safeco Field crowd of 24,184 didn't have much to cheer about as the Mariners lost their third in a row, but they chanted ``Ichiro! Ichiro!'' in the seventh after the four-time Gold Glove winner went high up on the fence and caught Anderson's drive.

The fans gave Suzuki a standing ovation after the inning, and Seattle pitcher Julio Mateo gave him a high-five when he got back to the dugout.

``When I went up on the wall, the ball was right there,'' Suzuki said through a translator. ``It wasn't a big play. It looked like a basketball to me. It was just right there.''

Anderson said he's seen enough of Suzuki that he's not stunned anymore.

'`I know he's an athletic guy,'' Anderson said. ``It didn't surprise me at all.''

Washburn would have liked another homer to add to the Angels' score, but he enjoyed watching Suzuki's catch.

``The guy's one of the most exciting players to ever play the game,'' he said. ``He's fun to watch. I hate pitching against him, but I love watching him play.''
