O-o-T-S - Final Interleague Series

Frayed Knot Jun 26 2009 05:30 PM

Several "regional" matchups going on in this final IL weekend of the season. AL leads 113-96 at this point and will almost certainly "win" the series for the 5th straight year. Cubs drew first blood in the all-Chicago series 5-4 this afternnon (Friday day game at Comiskey!) - Marlins @ Tampa (Johnson & Shields) - Ohio series Cincy @ Cleveland - and the 'Beltway' teams, Washington @ Baltimore and then there are those of particular interest to us: - Philly is at Toronto (Hamels v Romero) Rollins is apparently going to be benched for at least two games on account of he ain't hitting - Boston @ Atlanta (Becket v Jurrjens)

Phils also down 4-0 (in the 5th) but Toronto probably had to earn theirs rather than have it handed to them on a fuckin' platter.

Hamels ejected from that game for arguing balls and strikes.

The Braves lose to the Sawx 1-nil, a decision we can all get behind.

Marlins lose to the Rays in the 9th -- tie-breaking Sac Fly followed a single, SB and WP And Bruce Freakin Chen surfaced in KC tonight. Everyone's favorite Chinese/Panamanian was OK for 3 innings but eventually took the loss v the Pirates. Now 32 and more than a decade removed from being one of the better pitching prospects in baseball, he hadn't pitched at all for a year or so and not in the majors for several years before re-surfacing in the Royals' system this year and got called up for today's game.

3 home runs for the Blue Jays give them an early 4-1 lead on junkman Jamie Moyer in Sunday's game... ... which Brian Tallet promptly coughs up with walks, singles, and a 2-run triple to Chase F. Utley. 5-4, Phils, after 4.

Philly wins - Atlanta wins - Marlins lose. * Blue Jays first blow a 4-1 lead, then get the first two on in the 9th against Lidge in a 1-run game but can't score: Pop-out - Pick-off!! (the pinch-runner off 2nd) - Ground-out * Braves beat Boston 2-1; Rookie call-up Tommy Hansen now 4-0 The Braves are pitching (lost 1-0 yesterday) and have the back of their pen straightened out now (Soriano & Gonzalez) but still aren't hitting.
