WHERE WE STAND





MONDAY'S SCHEDULE



A little morning baseball for our west coast viewers courtesy of yesterday's rain. Cleveland @ White Sox for a doubleheader between the ALC leaders. The still-surprising Phillies go up against Mike Pelfrey, who has been Real Bad this year. The Padres follow up insulting the gay community of San Diego with a trip to San Francisco.

Today in Baseball History courtesy baseball-reference.com
1895 - The Louisville Colonels drop a game to Brooklyn because they have run out of baseballs. The home team is responsible for supplying balls‚ but the game begins with just three baseballs on hand‚ two of them practice balls borrowed from Brooklyn. By the 3rd inning‚ the balls are worn out and a messenger sent for new ones does not arrive back in time. Louisville is forced to forfeit the game.
2000 - The Orioles defeat the Mariners‚ 4 - 2. Seattle's Rickey Henderson draws his 2‚000th career walk in the 9th inning‚ making him the third player to reach that level‚ after Babe Ruth and Ted Williams.
2002 - At Miller Park, Shawn Green of the Los Angeles Dodgers becomes the 14th man in major league history to hit four home runs in a game and also sets a big league record with 19 total bases.

Born on This Day :toot:
1888 - Zack Wheat
1986 - Jordan Zimmermann
1990 - Kyle Barraclough
1990 - Cesar Hernandez

I had to double-check to see if we were still playing the Giants after hearing that Vogelsong got hurt but I guess he isn't a Giant anymore

Cervelli just slid and a large piece of dirt lasered directly into the home plate ump's eye

A dangerous day at the ballpark!

Two errors to put two men on with no outs, I will accept

I'm not sure if Mike Pelfrey actually knows that strikeouts are a thing he can try to get.

They have a building on North Avenue I used to run by all the time. Odds on someone just hopping on a 72 and show up all irate?
