Results from April 18th

There was almost a no-no and then there was a no-no. Let's start with the no-no. We will start in the American League. We start our journey with a night game in Chicago. A night like no other on the south side since winning the World Series in October, 2005.

It was a 40 degree night. There were 25,390 people at this little gathering on the Southside of Chicago. Of course, 20 years from now about 100,000 people will say they were one of the 25,390 to witness what happen at the ballpark on this night of April 18th,2007. But isn't that the way all stories go??? In the first inning, Mark Buehrle goes through the first inning 1-2-3. In the second inning, the Rangers who were in town on this night went 1-2-3. In the third inning, the Rangers went 1-2-3. In the bottom half of the third, Jim Thome supplied Buehrle a run with his 4th homerun of the year off of Kevin Millwood. This would give the White Sox a 1-0 lead. Then in the fourth inning the Rangers went down 1-2-3. Then in the fifth inning, with one out Mark Buehrle walks Sammy Sosa. Then Buehrle picks off Sosa. Then he retires the third out. Then Jermaine Dye in the bottom of fifth hit a Grand Slam homerun off of Millwood to give Buehrle a 5-0 lead. Then comes the sixth inning, and the Rangers went down 1-2-3. Then the seventh inning comes along and the Rangers go down again 1-2-3. Then in the bottom of that inning Jim Thome hit his 2nd homerun of the game and the White Sox and Buehrle had a 6-0 lead. In the eighth inning, Buehrle retires the Rangers again 1-2-3. On to the ninth, Matt Kata strikes out looking. Then Nelson Cruz went down swing. Gerald Laird ground out to third base and Mark Buehrle had himself a no-hitter and and was a walk from a perfect game. It is the first no-hitter thrown by a White Sox pitcher since August 11th,1991. That was Wilson Alvarez who did that against Baltimore. It is the 16th no-hitter thrown by the White Sox in their history. Congratulations to Mark Buehrle who pitched a masterpiece.

In Detroit, the Tigers grabbed a 3-0 lead in the sixth inning against the Kansas City Royals, thanks in part on a 2 run single by Craig Monroe. Jeremy Bonderman was pitching an outstanding game. Then after seven innings, Bonderman was lifted giving up one run on three hits with 6 strikeouts. Joel Zumaya threw seven pitches to get out of the eighth inning. Then Todd Jones came on and a dink, and a dunk, a close call on a double play attempt and suddenly Jones blew his first save and the Royals were tied with the Tigers at 3-3. Then the game moved to the tenth inning and John Buck gave the Royals the lead on a long blast to left off of Fernando Rodney ( 1-3 ) and the Royals picked up their fourth win of the season. Royals flush the Tigers 4-3.

In Tampa Bay, the Baltimore Orioles won the rubber game of the three game set by beating the Tampa Bay Devil Rays 6-4. Miguel Tejada went 3 for 4 with 2 runs scored.

Then later in the game, Alex Rodriguez hit his 9th homerun of the year and now has 23 RBI on the season. If you believe projections, Rodriguez will hit 112 homeruns and will drive in 287 runs this season. That is just projections folks. The Yankees moved over the .500 mark running their record to 7-6.

Results for April 19th

I will start in the American League. There were no no-hitters today. Nor were there any rainouts. That is the third straight day of no rainouts which is the longest time this season without any games being rained out. Maybe we can finally start getting ready for spring. 🙂

In the American League,

In Toronto, the Blue Jays blew a 3-1 lead late and fell to division rival Boston yesterday afternoon. Manny Ramirez slugged his first homerun of the season with the Jays down 3-1 to tie the score at 3-3 in the 8th. In the 9th, Alex Cora tripled in the go-ahead run to give the Red Sox a come from behind victory. Mike Timlin ( 1-0 ) won the game in relief and Jonathan Papelbon picked up his 4th save of the year. Boston now goes home to play host to the hated New York Yankees this weekend and Toronto moves on to Baltimore for a weekend set with division rivals Orioles. Red Sox wins in come from behind fashion 5-3.

In New York, the most exciting game of the day. I will take you through this game and this is the featured boxscore. What a game. Sadira and I watched this game so there is an actually play by play mindset with me. In the seventh inning, the Cleveland Indians took a 5-2 lead when Victor Martinez crushed a 3 run homer ( 1st ) off of Luis Vizcaíno. The Indians added a run in the top of the ninth on a throwing error by Alex Rodriguez ( 2nd ) to give the Indians a 6-2 lead. In the bottom of the ninth the Yankees went to work. With two outs and nobody on base, Josh Phelps clobbered his 1st homerun of the year to get the Yankees to within 6-3. Then Jorge Posada lined a single to center. Posada took second base on defensive indifference while Johnny Damon was at the plate. Then Damon drew a walk. Up to the plate steps Derek Jeter who lined a single to left field to drive in Posada and Damon moved up to second base. The score is now 6-4 with Bobby Abreu coming to the plate. Abreu lined a single to almost the same spot that Jeter had his base hit. Damon scored to make the score 6-5 and Jeter moved up to second base. Then up steps Alex Rodriguez with the winning run on first base. On a 1-0 pitch from Indians closer Joe Borowski ( 0-1 ), Rodriguez ( 10th ) crush the pitch to center field that as Yankees radio announcer John Sterling would say, " it is high, it is far, it is gone. A walk off game winning homerun. An A-Bomb, from A-Rod. Ballgame over Yankees win, thaaaaeee Yankees win." With the win Sean Henn got his 1st Major League victory. Congratulations to Sean Henn and the New York Yankees. The Yankees go to their hated rivals Boston Red Sox this weekend. A great game to come off of to go to Fenway Park with.

Results from April 21st

There is nothing like a day game on a nice warm day. A day at the park. The fans. The cheering and the jeering. Nothing better than a game at the ballpark with sunny skies and 70 degree weather. Expensive??? Yes. Fun??? Undoubtly!!! I will start with the American League and the team that is local to me. So let's start in Detroit where the Tigers are playing host to the White Sox this weekend.

In Detroit, the Tigers got out the gate fast with a Grand Slam homerun off the bat of Carlos Guillen to give the Tigers a 4-0 lead. Then in the fourth inning the White Sox scored three times on an error by Brandon Inge a couple of fielder's choice's and a Joe Crede RBI single. and suddenly the Sox were back in this game. In the fifth inning the White Sox got even on a Jim Thome's RBI Sacrifice Fly. In the bottom of the 6th inning, Magglio Ordonez clobbered a solo homerun ( 2nd ) to give the lead back to the Tigers at 5-4. In the 8th inning, Joe Crede got an RBI single off of reliever Joel Zumaya to tie this game again at 5-5. The game went into extra innings and with Jermaine Dye's RBI double the Tigers were finished. The White Sox beat the Tigers 7-5. The Tigers who had commited only 4 errors all season committed 3 errors on Saturday. The White Sox beat the Tigers in 10 innings 7-5.

In Kansas City, Mike Redmond, the Twins back-up catcher, had three hits and three RBI helped the Twins beat the Royals 7-5. Mike Redmond had three separate RBI singles in the 2nd inning, 4th inning and 6th inning to keep the Twins in the game when they had been trailing. Then there was Joe Mauer the Twins regular catcher playing as a designated hitter had 2 hits and 2 RBI. Pat Neshek ( 2-0 ) won his second game of the season in relief as the Twins knock off the Royals.

In Boston, the Yankees and Red Sox met for game 2 of this three game set and everything seemingly is going the Red Sox way. Think about it... Alex Rodriguez the hottest hitter on the planet right now hits two homeruns in the first game of this series and the Red Sox won. Here we are in game two and the Red Sox Josh Beckett ( 4-0 ) allowed 4 runs in the first two innings and yet Beckett and the Red Sox bullpen held the Yankees to just one run the final seven innings. Then the Red Sox got a 2 run double from David Ortiz and then Ortiz hit a 2 run homer to help the Red Sox offensively. The Red Sox got 2 1/3 scoreless, hitless relief including Jonathon Papelbon finishing up to earn his 5th save of the season. The Red Sox go for the sweep in this series on Sunday Night. Final from Boston, Red Sox 7- Yankees 5.

In Baltimore, the Orioles continue their early season success as they beat the Blue Jays 5-2. Corey Patterson and Chris Gomez each had 2 hits to pace the Oriole attack. Gomez score twice and Patterson drove in a run. Adam Loewen earned his 2nd win of the year as he went 5 2/3 innings giving up 2 runs and 5 hits. Loewen did have problems with wildness in this game as he walked 7 batters. Chris Ray nailed down his 6th save as the Orioles beat the Blue Jays 5-2.

In Tampa Bay, the Devil Rays Ty Wigginton went 3 for 4 with a homer and 2 runs score to help the Rays to their 7th win off the season. The Indians, with the loss, have now lost 4 of their last 5 games as they drop back to .500 with a 7-7 mark. Jae Seo got the victory by going 6 innings as he gave up 5 runs. Al Reyes who has pitched extremely well for the Rays this season earned his 6th save of the season. Tampa improves to 7-10 and they will try to win this series from the Indians on Sunday.

In Texas, the Rangers blew open a close game in the 8th inning when Matt Kata hit a three run homer ( 2nd ) and the Rangers cruised to a 7-0 victory over the Athletics. Kameron Loe ( 1-0 ) went 5 1/3 innings giving up only 3 hits and he struck out 5 in picking up his first victory of the season. The Rangers bullpen pitched 3 2/3 inning of hitless relief to give the Rangers their seventh win of the season.

In Anaheim, Vladimir Guerrero welcomed back Bartolo Colon by slamming a two run homerun in the bottom of the 1st inning as the Angels raced out to a 7-0 lead and then the Angels held on as the they beat the Mariners 7-6. Robb Quinlan had 2 hits and 2 RBI as he chipped in to the Angels cause. Bartolo Colón coming off the Disabled List pitched 7 innings giving up 1 run on 7 hits. Colon picked up the win and Francisco Rodríguez got his 6th save of the year.

In the National League,

In New York, the Mets Carlos Beltran went 4 for 5 with 2 runs scored and 2 RBI as the Mets beat Chuck James and the Atlanta Braves 7-2. Chuck James ( 2-2 ) went 5 1/3 innings giving up 6 runs on 10 hits took the loss. For the Mets, Oliver Perez went 6 2/3 innings giving up 2 runs on 9 hits. He walked nobody and struck out 9 as he earned his 2nd win of the year. Mets got a 2 run homer ( 3rd ) from back up catcher Ramon Castro and a solo homer off the bats of Damian Easley ( 1st ) and Jose Reyes ( 2nd ) to help aid the offense. Mets win 7-2.

In Chicago, the Cubs got the big hit off the bat of Michael Barrett as he hit a 3 run homer ( 3rd ) and the Cubs got 7 terrific innings from Jason Marquis ( 2-1 ) as the Cubs shutout the St.Louis Cardinals 6-0. Anthony Reyes ( 0-3 ) who gave up the Barrett homerun lost this game. Both teams record are now 7-10 as both teams continue to scuffle through the start of this season. Ronny Cedeno also helped the Cubs offense with his second homer of the season and had 2 RBI. Cubs win!!! Cubs win!!!

In San Francisco, the Giants got a homerun off the bat of Barry Bonds ( career # 739 ) and Barry Zito has extended his scoreless streak to 13 1/3 innings as the Giants beat the Diamondbacks 1-0. Zito with the win is now 2-2 on the year. Édgar González ( 1-2 ) was the hard luck loser as he gave up the long blast to Bonds. He pitched 7 innings giving up only four other hits and struck out 7. The Giants are now 8-8 as they nip the Diamondbacks 1-0.

In Milwaukee, 41,209 were treated to the battle of first place as the Brewers fans saw the Brew Crew reclaim first place with a 6-4 win over the Housrton Astros. The Brewers got 6 innings from Chris Capuano ( 3-0 ) and 2 homeruns from J.J. Hardy and the Brewers outlast the Astros. Capuano gave up 4 runs and struck out 6 but he also walked 6 as he struggled through 6. Capuano remains undefeated. The Brewers record is now 10-7 and the Astros are 9-7. Brewers are back in first in the NL Central as they beat the Astros 6-4.

In Florida, the fans were treated to a 9-3 win over the Nationals and stayed to enjoy a Cheap Trick concert after the game. The Marlins who have had trouble drawing fans had 24,107 show up and they actually watched and enjoyed the game as their Marlins beat their division rivals the Washington Nationals 9-3. Dan Uggla had 2 hits and 3 runs scored. Also Josh Willingham had 3 hits and an RBI. Hanley Ramirez added a 2 run homerun to help the Marlins cause. You have to believe all those that attended, enjoyed the concert. You know they enjoyed the game as the hometown team beat the Nationals 9-3.

In Cincinnati, Chase Utley provided a two run double and a solo homer ( 3rd ) for the offense. Cole Hamels provided the rest. Hamels pitched a complete game 5 hitter allowing only one run ( a homerun by Jeff Conine ( 2nd ) ) and struck out 15 batters to help the Philadelphia Phillies win their league low 5th game. Hamels was as dominate as any pitcher could be. The Phillies also turned a triple play that went around the horn ( 5-4-3 ). The Phillies who have struggled throughout this season are hoping that this game will be the turning point to their season. The Phillies beat the Reds 4-1.

In Colorado, the Rockies dropped their third straight as they lost to the Padres 7-3. The Padres with the win, won their third straight. The Padres had a 4 hit performance from Marcus Giles who lead a 15 hit attack. Marcus's brother Brian Giles had 2 hits and drove in 2 runs. Mike Cameron also had 2 hits and scored twice. Clay Hensley started and went 6 innings got his 1st win of the year and he lowered his ERA to 9.45. Padres beat the Rockies 7-3.

In Los Angeles, the Dodgers came from behind to beat the Pirates 7-3 in 10 innings. The Dodgers tied the score in the bottom of the ninth on a pass ball and then with the bases loaded and 1 out in the bottom of the 10th, Russell Martin hit a 1-2 pitch for a Grand Slam homerun ( his first career Grand Slam ) to end the game. I was very fortunate to see and hear Vin Scully's call live on Prime Ticket. The Slam made a winner out of Jonathan Broxton ( 1-0 ) as he pitched a scoreless tenth inning while striking out one. The Dodgers have now won three in a row and continue to have the best record in baseball. Dodgers beat the Pirates 7-3. This will be the game that is featured in the boxscore. Enjoy the games and have a great day everyone.
