OOTS, 4/11/09: While You Were Blacked Out

With longballs on apparent two-for-one special, Sawx-Angels is proving a pleasant-enough diversion while we're in the Fox waiting room. After two Mike Napoli home runs put the Halos up early, Jason Bay hits his second home run of the day to give Papelbon some orang-like-hyperventilating room. 5-3, Massholes, heading into the bottom of the ninth.

And this just in: this Albert Pujols is quite good (2 HRs, 7 RBI, one crying Oswalt on the day). Cards going mercy-rule on the 'Stros-- after 7, 10-nil.

Angels start the ninth with a HR from Torii and a double from Kendry Morales. Mike Napoli (2 HRs today) steps up with 1 out.

After the Angels load 'em with two down, and Howie Kendrick fights off about eleventy 0-2 fastballs, he lines it to right... for a shakily-snagged third out.

Sawx, 5-4.

Papelbon gets a Kendrick flyout to end it after a looong feeling 0-2 count. 10 pitches! Certainly can't accuse the guy of nibbling.

For all my kvetching, that was a good game from start to finish if I had to
watch something else besides the Mets.

Flipped over to Phils-Rockies during the pitching changes... just in time to see Tulowitzki go caveman on a Brett Myers hanger. Two-run shot... Rockies up 2-0 in the 3rd.

A Ryan Howard two-out, bases-loaded double clears 'em. Phils 3-2 after 3 and a half.

(I heart EI free preview week.)

Barmes HR makes three Rocky shots tonight, and 6 off you, Brett Myers, on the season (in 11 IP); the Carloses, DWright, Josex4, Murph and Church wish to confirm their reservation at your high-fastball buffet on May 1.

5-4, Phils, after 5.
