September 12, 2006 Red Sox 9, Orioles 7

2008-01-13T09:00:00.001-05:00

This game should never have been a save for Papelbon. Kason Gabbard pitches spectacular, only allowing 2 hits and no runs in 7 innings, while Orioles starter Daniel Cabrera sucks wind, with 8 walks and 2 run-scoring wild pitches for an 8-0 Sox lead.

With an 8 run lead and the 8th inning coming up, it sems like a good time to let some guys pitch who don't get much action. The move almost backfires, as the Orioles get 6 runs in the 8th off Craig Hansen and Mike Burns, but Timlin and Paps come in and pretty much squelch the rally.

With 18 games left, the Sox sit 13 back in the division and 12 back in the wild card. Playoff hopes are slim, but still there. Although, it will pretty much take a miracle.

September 10, 2006 Red Sox 7, Royals 3

2007-12-09T12:02:00.001-05:00

Manny Ramirez with a solid day at the plate and some sloppy Royals fielding give the Sox the win to sweep the series. 5th straight win for the Red Sox, who tie their longest winning streak of the season.

Manny was a terror today, going 3 for 4 with 2 doubles, a homerun, and knocking in 4. Julian Tavarez goes 7 innings and gets a solid start with the exception of the 4th inning, when the Royals scored all three of their runs.

The Boston Red Sox defeated the floundering Kansas City Royals by a score of 7
to 3 at Fenway Park.
 
The home town fans were very appreciative of the fine hitting performance
provided by Manny Ramirez.  He doubled in the 1st inning, bombed a two-run
dinger (his 37th of the season) in the 5th inning and doubled scoring two
baserunners in the 6th inning.  Boston banged out 10 on the afternoon.  
 
The win was credited to Julian Tavarez(6-3) who went 7 innings allowing 3
runs. Mark Redman(6-9) ended up with the loss.  He was knocked around,
surrendering 5 runs in 4 and 2/3 innings.

September 9, 2006 Marlins 4, Phillies 2

2007-12-07T20:32:00.001-05:00

Three mistake pitches were the goat today, as three homeruns accounted for the Marlins scoring enabeling them to beat the Phils.

Miguel Olivo's 2-run shot in the 4th gave the Marlins the lead 2-1, and Wes Helms with a pinch-hit homer in the 7th made it 3-1. The Phillies get a run in the 8th on a Victorino triple, but Mike Jacobs gives the Marlins the two-run cushion back with a solo shot in the bottom of the 8th to make 4-2 the final.

In a good matchup it was the Florida Marlins 4, the Philadelphia Phillies 2 at
Dolphins Stadium.
 
Florida scored 2 runs in the bottom of the 4th inning. The crucial at-bat was
provided by Miguel Olivo who made the Florida fans a happy lot when he lifted
one out of the park for a two run home run (his 9th of the season).  Florida
out-hit Philadelphia for the game, 8 hits to 4.  
 
The winning pitcher was Randy Messenger(4-6) who allowed no runs in 2 and 2/3
innings. Messenger got relief help from Joe Borowski who gained credit for
his 36th save.  Brett Myers(11-6) took the loss.  
 
With this win, Florida has a 64-78 record.  They have been 6-4 lately.  With
this loss, Philadelphia has a 3-7 record of late, 81-61 overall.

September 9, 2006 Red Sox 4, Royals 3

2007-12-03T19:09:00.001-05:00

Another 3-0 Royals lead turns into a Sox victory. All the scoring today came in the first two innings. KC got 3 runs in the first inning on Mike Sweeney's 3-run homer, but the Sox come right back with 3 of their own in the bottom of the first.

Coco Crisp doubled, and scores on a single by Alex Gonzalez. Papi and Manny strike out for two outs, then with Youk at the plate he grounds what should be the third out to first baseman Ryan Shealy. Shealy muffs it to put runners on first and second. The error would prove costly to the Royals, as next batter Trot Nixon rips a double to score both Gonzalez and Youk to tie the game.

In the Sox second, after Crisp and Gonzalez again get back to back hits (two singles this time), Papi's sac fly scores Crisp from third for the 4-3 Sox lead. That would prove to be the final, as neither team would score again.

Coco Crisp had 2 base hits as the Boston Red Sox beat the slumping Kansas City
Royals by a score of 4 to 3.
 
Kansas City never recovered after Boston took the lead in the bottom of the
2nd inning plating an isolated run on 2 hits.  That scoring would be all that
was needed.  After the 2nd inning, neither team was able to score.  
 
The victory went to Josh Beckett(10-12) who went 6 and 1/3 innings, allowing 3
runs. Jonathan Papelbon was credited with his 33rd save.  Luke Hudson(2-4)
absorbed the loss.

September 8, 2006 Phillies 5, Marlins 4 (10)

2007-12-02T13:17:00.001-05:00

Ryan Howard goes 3 for 5 with 4 RBI, falling a double shy of the cycle and is singlehandedly responsible for tying the game and winning the game for the Phillies.

In the 6th down 3-0, Howard knocks a run home via a single for the first Phillie run. He slams a 2-run homer in the 8th to tie the game at 3, and after Shane Victorino's RBI single, Howard triples to send Vic home for the 5-3 Phillie lead. The Marlins do get a run in the 10th off Gordon (who gets the win as he came into the game in the 9th with the score tied), but the game ends with the tying run stranded at second. Because of that run, Howard's triple scored what proved to be the winning run.

The Phils get back on the winning track, snapping their 4 game losing streak and hold a 4 1/2 game lead over the Mets and Braves in the division.

September 8, 2006 Red Sox 14, Royals 6

2007-12-01T15:44:00.001-05:00

If there is ever a way to try to get some much-needed wins late in the season, playing the 40 games below .500 Kansas City Royals would be it. What started out as a quick 3-0 Royals lead turned into a 14-6 laugher.

A 6 run 3rd, a 3 run 6th and a 3 run 7th does most of the damage for the Sox. Jason Varitek falls a double shy of the cycle with a 3 for 4, 4 RBI day, Wily Mo Pena gets 2 doubles, and Coco Crisp scores 3 and knocks in 3 for just some of the highlights. Kevin Jarvis gets the win despite a lackluster start.

The Sox get back to .500, but still more than 10 games back in both the division and the wild card.

Jason Varitek hit a homerun and had 4 RBI as the Boston Red Sox defeated the
Kansas City Royals by a score of 14 to 6 at Fenway Park.
 
Varitek had a good evening at the plate.  He banged out a single in the 2nd
inning, tripled scoring two baserunners in the 6th inning and cracked a solo
homerun (his 12th of the season) in the 8th inning.  For the game Boston
out-hit Kansas City 16 to 12.  
 
Kevin Jarvis(4-4) allowed 5 runs in 5 and 2/3 innings, and picked up the
victory. The losing pitcher was Odalis Perez(6-6).  He got hit hard, allowing
7 hits and 2 walks in 2 innings.  
 
Boston now has a record of 70-71.  Still in a bad slump, with this loss,
Kansas City is 2-8 lately and 51-91, worst in the division on the year.

September 7, 2006 Marlins 9, Phillies 6

2007-12-01T08:26:00.001-05:00

A wild beginning and an interesting end to this one. Four runs scored in the Phillie first inning on a David Dellucci bases-loaded triple and a Chris Coste single, but the Marlins get the 4 runs right back in the bottom of the first with a Miguel Cabrera RBI triple, Matt Jacobs RBI single and Joe Borchard's 2-run homer. Another run scored in the Phillie second on a wild pitch for a 5-4 Phillie lead after only an inning and a half.

The lead would not hold however, as the Marlins get 3 in the 4th with the big blow an Alfonzo Amazaga 2-run homer for the 7-5 lead. Florida would score single runs in the 6th and 7th to up the lead to 9-5. Then it gets interesting. In the Phillie 8th, after two leadoff singles and a bunt for runners on second and third with one out, no runs score with two groundouts (the first one to the third baseman so the runners had to hold) ending the inning.

In the Phillies 9th, four walks by Joe Borowski to Victorino, Howard, Burrell and Dellucci (who had a 3 for 4, 4 RBI day) score a run and leave the bases loaded with one out, as Chase Utley's strikeout was sandwiched in betwen the walks. Chris Coste and his .375 average comes to the plate, but Coste grounds into a game-ending double play and gives the Marlins the victory.

Joe Borchard lofted one into the 'cheap seats' and had 3 RBI at Dolphins
Stadium as the Florida Marlins beat the Philadelphia Phillies by the count of
9 to 6.
 
Florida jumped on top to stay in the bottom of the 4th inning scoring 3
runners on 3 hits.  The crucial at-bat was provided by Alfredo Amezaga who
excited the crowd when he popped a two-run clout over the fence (his 3rd of
the season).  Florida had 12 hits for the night while Philadelphia had 9.
 
Josh Johnson(5-8) went 6 innings allowing 5 runs for the victory. Joe Borowski
earned the save, his 35th.  Jon Lieber(8-8) absorbed the loss.  He was
knocked around, surrendering 7 runs in 5 innings.

September 6, 2006 Astros 5, Phillies 2 (10)

2007-11-27T20:57:00.001-05:00

The Phillie defense saves the game in the 9th, but then blows the game in the 10th. First, the good. In a tight 1-1 game in the top of the 9th, Aubrey Huff walks and Chris Burke singles for runners on first and second with one out. Pinch-hitter Luke Scott rips a single to right, and Jeff Conine throws a missle home to nail Huff trying to score from second, No run scores, game still tied.

Now, the bad. After a groundout and with Geoff Geary on the mound, Willy Tavares singles and Eric Bruntlett doubles for runners on second and third with one out. Lance Berkman is intentionally walked to load the bases and set up the force at any base. Jason Lane hits a slow roller to Chase Utley for what should be a second-to home-to first double play. However, Utley throws it past catcher Chris Coste, and two Astros score. The scorer gives Lane a single and an error on Utley. Huff is intentionally walked to again set up the force at any base, but Chris Burke walks on his own to force in another run. Aaron Fultz comes into the game at this point, and Scott hits a sac fly for the fourth run of the inning.

The Phillies do make some noise in the bottom of the 10th, getting a run home on a Coste double, but that would be it and Houston wins to take sole possession of the NL's best record from the Phils with 22 games left.

September 6, 2006 Red Sox 4, White Sox 1

2007-11-27T13:51:00.001-05:00

The Red Sox take the last two games of the series in what is easily Kyle Snyder's best start of the season. Snyder goes 6 shutout innings, striking out 9. Javier Lopez and Keith Foulke finish up, and Foulke ends up with a save after Jermaine Dye hit a homer off Lopez to spoil the shutout in the 8th inning.

The Red Sox did all the needed damage by batting around in the 4th, scoring 4 runs. Coco Crisp was thrown out at second trying to stretch a single into a double for out number one. Mark Loretta doubles, David Ortiz walks and Manny knocks in both of them with a double for a 2-0 lead. That did it for Jose Contreras, and Charlie Haeger comes in. Trot strikes out for the second out, then Mike Lowell is intentionally walked to set up a force anywhere but home. The move backfires on the White Sox, as Jason Varitek singles to load the bases and Eric Hinske rips a double to score two more and a 4-0 lead. Alex Cora would ground out to end the inning.

September 4, 2006 White Sox 11, Red Sox 2

2007-11-25T11:18:00.001-05:00

The IRL late season scramble for arms is beginning to show in the replay, as the White Sox do all their damage in the 6th and 7th innings, specifically courtesy of Tadahito Iguchi. Julian Tavarez made it through the first 5 inning unscathed despite allowing 7 hits, but after a single, groundout, an RBI double (which tied the game) and a walk and over 100 pitches, was done for the day and normally reliable Manny Declarmen comes in.

Not today, though. Declamen allows a single to load the bases, gets a strikeout and then Iguchi slams a two-out grand slam to give the White Sox the lead. Iguchi wasn't done, and in the 7th rips a 2-run homer off Bryan Corey to cap a 2 homer, 6 RBI day.

The Red Sox batters did not strike out at all today, which considering the number of free swingers on the team seems surprising to me.

Second baseman Tadahito Iguchi smacked 2 homeruns at Fenway Park as the
Chicago (AL) White Sox beat the Boston Red Sox 11 to 2.
 
Iguchi was unconscious all evening.  The Boston fans hated to see him
approaching the batter's box as he just kept delivering base hits! He slapped
a single in the 3rd inning, depressed the partisan hometown fans with a grand
slam home run in the 6th inning and blasted a two-run home run (his 18th of
the season) in the 7th inning.  Chicago (AL) out-hit Boston for the game, 16
hits to 6.  
 
The victory went to Jon Garland(12-8) who went 5 and 2/3 innings, allowing 1
run. Julian Tavarez(5-3) was given the loss.  'I was in my hotel room the
other night, working on my swing and made some adjustments,' Iguchi said.
'I'm always working on it. If they are getting you out certain ways, you've
got to make changes.'

September 4, 2006 Astros 10, Phillies 2

2007-11-25T09:12:00.001-05:00

The Phillies recent slump continues, losing their 5th out of the last 6 and allowing 10 or more runs for the 3rd time in the last 4 games. The battle of old vs. young (44 year old Roger Clemens vs. 22 year old Cole Hamels) ends up as Hamels worst start of the year and his 2nd straight loss, although he is not totally to blame.

Hamels walked Lance Berkman and Chris Lane to lead off the 4th, and Aubrey Huff grounded what looked to be a sure double play ball to third baseman Abraham Nunez. Nunez goes to first with it, and throws it over Ryan Howard's head for a 2 base error to score a run and open the floodgates. The game just fell apart from there. Pat Burrell's 2-run homer in the Phillie 4th would be the only scoring off Clemens, who goes the distance.

Also of note, the win for the Astros puts them in first in the NL Central and ties them with the Phillies for the best record in the National League.

Interesting side note: When Roger Clemens began his career with the Red Sox in 1984, his opponent today Cole Hamels was 4 months old! Hell, Clemens is old enough to be his father!

September 3, 2006 Braves 8, Phillies 3

2007-11-24T14:08:00.001-05:00

The Braves jump right out to a 6-0 lead in the top of the first to hand Jamie Moyer his first Phillie loss and take game two in the second of back to back doubleheaders. Ex-teammate Todd Pratt had the big blow with a 3-run homer. Ryan Madson certainly did his job, with 4 innings of one-hit relief, but the Phils couldn't score anymore than 3 runs off Tim Hudson.

September 3, 2006 Phillies 3, Braves 1

2007-11-24T13:39:00.001-05:00

After yesterday's relief corps exhausting doubleheader, Brett Myers does his job in game 1 of another doubleheader. Myers almost goes the distance, only allowing 4 hits while striking out 12, but after walking Chipper Jones with one out in the 9th and with Andruw Jones coming to the plate Arthur Rhodes comes in. Jones does get a single, but Brian McCann grounds into a double play to end the game.

All scoring today on homers, with Edgar Renteria's solo shot in the first, a 2-run dinger by Jose Hernandez in the 5th for the 2-1 Phils lead, and Chase Utley with a blast for an insurance run in the 8th.

Brett Myers whiffed 12 batters at Citizen's Bank Park as the Philadelphia
Phillies beat the Atlanta Braves by the count of 3 to 1.
 
Myers(11-5) put on a good performance.  He didn't allow much, just 4 hits and
2 walks in 8 and 1/3 innings.  Philadelphia managed only 6 on the afternoon.
 
Arthur Rhodes recorded the save, his 6th.  Lance Cormier(2-4) was the losing
pitcher.  Myers was pleased with his performance.  He noted, 'I had good zip
on my pitches.  Just as important, my location was right on.  The fans really
got into the game too - that always helps me.  Now, if I can only do that
again in my next outing.'

September 3, 2006 Blue Jays 5, Red Sox 1

2007-11-24T09:59:00.001-05:00

A big 5 run 5th inning would be all the scoring that the Jays would do, but it proved to be enough. The Sox bats were silent most of the game, only getting 2 hits off Gustavo Chacin in 7 innings and finally avoiding the shutout in the bottom of the 9th. Plenty of baserunners though, as Chacin walked 7 and the Sox left 11 on base.

The Sox now sit 12 back of Toronto in the division, and 11 back in the wildcard race with 25 games left to play.

Left fielder Frank Catalanotto hit 2 doubles as the Toronto Blue Jays defeated
the Boston Red Sox by the score of 5 to 1 at Fenway Park.
 
Toronto delivered all the runs required in the 5th inning when they scored 5
runs on 6 hits.  The critical plate appearance was by Gregg Zaun who quieted
the crowd when he smashed a two-run homer (his 7th of the season).  Toronto
had 11 hits overall, while Boston had 5.  
 
Gustavo Chacin(5-3) allowed no runs in 7 innings, and picked up the victory.
Chacin got help from B.J. Ryan who earned his 39th save.  The losing pitcher
was Josh Beckett(9-12).  He was touched for 8 hits and 4 walks in 5 innings.

The Braves swep the doubleheader, winning a slugfest. 30 hits between the two teams, with 8 doubles, 2 triples, and 8 homeruns. Rather than try to explain all that happened, I put the play account after the box score.

September 2, 2006 Braves 10, Phillies 6

2007-11-23T16:43:00.001-05:00

The Braves rough up 4 Phillie pitchers, scoring in 6 different innings for the 10-6 win in game 1 of a day-night doubleheader. It could have been worse, as catcher Chris Coste threw out 3 runners trying to steal, but Coste wasn't perfect as Edgar Renteria did have 2 steals with the ball thrown over second on one of them for a Coste error and he also committed a passed ball which scored a run. Lost in the shuffle is a nice 3 for 5, 3 RBI day for Shane Victorino.

It may be a little too early to be talking about magic numbers, but the Minnesota Twins are the closest with a magic number of 17, and next closest is the Phillies at 23.

September 2, 2006 Red Sox 9, Blue Jays 6

2007-11-23T11:17:00.001-05:00

I haven't blogged anything in a few days because our internet was screwed up, but in the games not blogged the Nats beat the Phils 3-1 to hand Cole Hamels his second loss of the year, the Phils beat the Nats 5-3 by scoring 4 runs off Chad Cordero in the 9th inning on back to back homers by Chase Utley (3-run shot) and Ryan Howard (solo homer), and the Red Sox were embarassed by the Blue Jays 14-4.

The Sox get their revenge today despite a less than stellar start by Kevin Jarvis. Jarvis still gets the win despite allowing 6 runs in 5 innings because the 9-6 final score all occured in the first 5 innings! Javy Lopez had the big blast of the game, a 3-run smash in the 3rd and Mike Lowell went 4 for 5 with 2 doubles.

August 31, 2006 Blue Jays 6, Red Sox 4

2007-11-18T22:10:00.001-05:00

After their 9 game road tip, the Sox come back to Fenway but cannot continue their winning ways, losing to Toronto and falling 11 games behind the Blue Jays in the division. All the runs today scored off the two starters, Roy Halladay and Julian Tavaras, in the first 6 innings.

The Jays jumped out in front 3-0 in their half of the 2nd inning, but the Sox got the three right back in the bottom of the 2nd with Dustin Pedroia's first big league homer, a 2-run shot, tying the game. Aaron Hill gave the Jays the lead back with a 2-run blast in the 5th, and the Blue Jays would not trail again. Halladay gets his 15th win, and the always tough B. J. Ryan retires the Sox 1-2-3 in the 9th for the save.

WEB GEMS- Top 8th: Alex Cora robbed Troy Glaus of a base hit.
 
In a tight game it was the Toronto Blue Jays 6, the Boston Red Sox 4 at Fenway
Park.
 
Toronto took the lead for good in the 4th inning as they scored 2 runs on 2
base hits.  The critical plate appearance was by Aaron Hill who quieted the
crowd when he cracked a two-run shot (his 6th of the season).  Toronto won
despite being out-hit by Boston 11 hits to 7.  
 
Roy Halladay(15-7) picked up the victory, allowing 4 runs in 6 and 1/3
innings. B.J. Ryan was credited with his 38th save.  Julian Tavarez(5-2) was
the loser.  He was knocked around pretty good, giving up 6 runs in 5 innings.
 
'I didn't have my best stuff but sometimes you just get lucky,' Halladay said,
'this was one of those times.'

August 30, 2006 Red Sox 1, A's 0

2007-11-15T22:57:00.001-05:00

Curt Schilling is spectacular as he gets win number 15, a 3-hit, 11 strikeout shutout of the A's. Barry Zito was nearly as good, only allowing 2 hits but got an early hook in the 6th because he had walked 5 batters.

The Sox score their lone run in the 8th, as after Mike Lowell led off with a double and Gabe Kapler and Doug Mirabelli both flied out, Eric Hinske knocks Lowell in via a single. It was a 1-9 chance that Lowell would score, but I decided to go for it and it came up a 2!

I was debating when it came to the 9th whether to bring Papelbon in, but he had pitched each of the last 3 days and the rest of the bullpen has also pitched a lot lately, so Schilling stayed in and proceeds to strike out the side in the 9th to get the shutout.

August 29, 2006 Phillies 14, Nationals 0

2007-11-15T22:04:00.001-05:00

The Phillies bat around in the first, scoring 5 runs off Tony Armas Jr. (four of those before even getting an out) and get a big 5-run 5th while Brett Myers pitches a 3-hitter to rip the Nats in what looks more like the score of a football game than a baseball game!

Not helping Armas Jr.'s lousy start any was Ryan Wagner. Wagner lets 8 runs score off him in an inning an 1/3 including Chase Utley's 3-run homer, surprisingly considering the score the only homerun hit by the Phillies today. Meanwhile, Myers retires the first 16 batters to face him, not allowing a runner until Brian Schneider singles with one out in the 6th. Myers gets his 10th win of the season., and helps his own cause by scoring twice.

Chase Utley jacked one out of the ballyard and had 3 RBI and Brett Myers
carried a no-hitter into the 6th inning at RFK STADIUM as the Philadelphia
Phillies embarrassed the Washington Nationals by the lopsided score of 14 to
0.
 
Myers(10-5) was indeed brilliant as he hand-cuffed the Washington offense.  He
didn't give up much, just 3 hits and no walks in 9 innings lowering his ERA
from 4.92 to 4.66.  The right-handed Myers had his no-hit bid broken up by
Brian Schneider who singled with one out in the 6th inning.  Philadelphia had
14 hits for the night.  
 
Tony Armas Jr(7-10) suffered the loss.  With this win, Philadelphia has a
division leading 78-53 record.  They have been 7-3 lately.  With the loss,
Washington has a record of 7-3 lately, 61-70 overall.

August 29, 2006 Red Sox 5, A's 4

2007-11-13T20:58:00.001-05:00

The Sox get back on the winning track by turning 5 double plays in a hard-fought 5-4 victory over the AL West leading A's. Josh Beckett gets his first win in over a month, as he has been really struggling lately. In his previous 6 starts (not including this game), Beckett had gone 0-5 with an 11.32 ERA.

It didn't look good at first when Milton Bradley and Frank Thomas hit back-to-back homers in the first inning and the A's got another run in the second for the 3-0 lead, but the Sox would do all their scoring by sending 11 men to the plate for a 5-run 5th inning.

After Hinske grounded out for out number one, Lowell and Pena hit back to back doubles for the Sox first run. Doug Mirabelli cracks a 2-run homerun to tie the game at 3. Pedroia hits a single, then Cora and Loretta hit back to back singles to score Pedroia for the 4-3 Sox lead. That would do it for A's starter Kirk Saarloos, as Jay Witasick enters. He only faces two batters, walking Youkilis to load the bases and Hinske to force in the 5th run of the inning. Chad Gaudin comes in and gets Lowell to fly out to end the inning.

The A's get a run in the 7th via a Mark Ellis RBI single, and that would end the scoring. Papelbon allows 2 straight walks in the 9th after getting the first out, but the A's hit into their 5th double play of the game to end it.

Catcher Doug Mirabelli blasted a homerun and had 2 RBI as the Boston Red Sox
defeated the Oakland Athletics by the score of 5 to 4 at McAfee
Coliseum.
 
Boston did all the necessary damage in the 5th inning as they scored 5 runs on
6 base hits.  The big moment was provided by Mirabelli who silenced the crowd
when he popped a two-run clout over the fence (his 7th of the season).
Boston managed 9 in their victory.  
 
Josh Beckett(9-11) got credit for the victory, pitching 6 and 1/3 innings and
allowing 4 runs. Beckett got help from Jonathan Papelbon who was credited
with his 30th save.  Kirk Saarloos(7-5) absorbed the loss.  He was knocked
around, surrendering 5 runs in 4 and 2/3 innings.

August 28, 2006 Phillies 4, Mets 1

2007-11-13T13:57:00.001-05:00

Chris Coste makes up for his run-scoring passed ball in the 3rd to give the Mets the 1-0 lead by going 3 for 4 knocking in 2 runs as the Phillies avert the sweep. Jamie Moyer goes to 2-0 as a Phillie with another solid performance. With Tom Gordon currently on the DL, Arthur Rhodes comes in for the 9th and gets his 5th save of the year.

The Phillies are again outhit by the opposing team and still win the game, something that has been happening it seems like a lot lately. But hell, as long as you win the game it doesn't matter who outhits who, now does it? Next up for the Phils - the Washington Nationals.

Also, I mispoke previously about the Mets leading the wild card. They are second in the wild card race, 4 games behind the Houston Astros.

August 27, 2006 Orioles 1, Devil Rays 0

2007-11-13T13:23:00.001-05:00

Adam Loewen pitches the second no-hitter in the majors this season, blanking the D-Rays. Loewen gets his first win of the year in grand style, as he was 0-8 prior to this game. I guess when you play the Devil Rays anybody can no-hit them! Loewen did allow 3 walks in the game - one in the 2nd and two in the 8th.

Good thing that Loewen was on top of his game, as the Orioles only had 3 hits for the game, none after the 4th inning. No earned runs scored today, as the one run that the Orioles got in the first reached base on an error and scored on a sac fly by Miguel Tejada.

Adam Loewen(1-8) was on top of his game in Baltimore as he tossed a beauty of
a no-hitter against the Tampa Bay Devil Rays.  The Baltimore Orioles won by a
score of 1 to 0.
 
Loewen gave the home town fans an afternoon that they'll never forget.  He
walked 3 Tampa Bay batters.  What a day for the fans.  They were on the edge
of their seats from the 7th inning on.  With every out, the electricity in
the air mounted.  Loewen recorded 10 strikeouts.  Baltimore had only 3 hits
for the game.  
 
J.P. Howell(1-1) absorbed the loss.  He was pinned with the loss despite not
allowing an earned run in his 4 innings of work.  
 
'I gave it everything I had. It's probably the greatest day of my life,'
Loewen said. 'I was out there focusing on my catcher's glove, that's all. I
just concentrated on pitching my game.'

August 27, 2006 Mariners 8, Red Sox 5

2007-11-13T10:33:00.001-05:00

In an absolutely horrid start for Kyle Snyder, the Sox lose and get swept by the Mariners. Snyder walked 4 straight batters for a run in the first, and just collapsed in the second inning.

Betancourt and Rivera led off the second with consecutive singles. The Mariners tried a double steal, but Betancourt was nailed at third while Rivera went to second for a runner on second and one out. Snyder walks Bloomquist for his 5th walk of the game, and Ichiro rips a single (Ichiro's 200th hit of the year!) to score a run for a 2-0 lead. Snelling then rips a 3-run homer, and Adrian Beltre follows with a solo blast for back to back shots and a 6-0 lead. Snyder got Ibanez to line out for the second out, but after a walk to Richie Sexon I had seen enough and Manny Declarmen comes in. 6 walks, 6 runs, 5 hits in 1 2/3 innings for Snyder.

Declarmen goes 3 1/3 allowing one run (he has been one of my most durable and consistent long relievers) while the Sox try to get back into the game with solo homers by Crisp, Ortiz and Hinske to close the gap to 7-4, but that was as close as they would get.

2-4 on the west coast swing so far, with the AL West leading Oakland A's coming up next.

August 26, 2006 Mets 5, Phillies 3

2007-11-11T11:06:00.001-05:00

Even with a leadoff home by current MVP leading candidate Jimmy Rollins, the Phils blow that lead immediately as the Mets get 2 in their half of the first, and never get the lead back. The Phillies had a golden opportunity to get back in the game in the 8th, but failed.

With the Mets leading 5-2, David Dellucci singles and Rollins singles and steals second for runners on second and third with no outs. Here comes Billy Wagner. Now when he was on the Phillies, I loved him but now that he is on the Mets, I hate to see hime come in. Sure enough, he gets Victorino to ground out with no run scoring, and strikes out Utley and Howard to end the threat with no damage. The Phils do get to him for a run in the 9th with a Pat Burrell homer, but that is it. Wagner has saved the last 6 meetings between the Mets and Phils, all Met victories and Wagner saves. 42 saves for Wagner out of the 70 games that the Mets have won.

With the victory, the Mets are now 11-7 against the Phils on the year, guarranteed winning the head to head matchup. That could become important later on, as the Mets are the current wild card leading team and sit 5 1/2 back of the Phils in the division.

Shawn Green went deep and had 3 RBI as the New York (NL) Mets outscored the
Philadelphia Phillies 5 to 3.
 
New York (NL) wasted no time and took the lead in the first inning when they
tallied 2 runs on 4 hits.  Philadelphia made it exciting in the 9th, but they
were unable to push the needed runs across.  
 
Oliver Perez(2-5) got credit for the victory, pitching 7 innings and allowing
2 runs. Perez got help from Billy Wagner who earned his 42nd save.  Jon
Lieber(8-6) ended up with the loss.  He gave up 5 runs and 12 hits in 6
innings.  
 
'Fundamentals, fundamentals, fundamentals' said Charlie Manual after the game.
'We lost this game tonight because we didn't follow the instructions every
Little Leaguer hears every day.'

August 26, 2006 Mariners 7, Red Sox 2

2007-11-11T10:26:00.001-05:00

The Sox manage to knock out 10 hits and walk 5 times, but still end up on the losing end by leaving 12 of those runners on base. Only 2 runs managed to score, including David Ortiz's majors leading 52nd homer in the 9th. Another decent start for David Wells, as his 3.31 ERA for the year shows, but gets a loss for the effort. The game prior to this one against the M's I meant to blog too, but accidently hit end game instead. Just as well, since they lost that one too.

August 24, 2006 Red Sox 9, Angels 8 (12)

2007-11-08T22:53:00.001-05:00

The Sox pull out the victory in the slugfest, scoring the winning run in the top of the 12th on....a wild pitch!! A lot happened prior to that point, though.

The Angels jumped out in the first to a 2-0 lead on Vlad Guerrero's 2-run homer, but the Sox would then score 7 unanswered runs with the big blows being Papi's solo shot (number 51!) in the 3rd, and Coco Crisp's 3-run bomb in the 5th for a 7-2 Sox lead.

The Angles come right back however, scoring 5 unanswered runs of their own with a run in the 5th and 4 more in the 6th courtesy of Garrett Anderson's 2-run single and Howie Kendrick's 2-run homer to tie the game, 7-7. Doug Mirabelli, after striking out his first 3 trips to the plate, gets an RBI single in the top of the 7th to put the Sox back in front 8-7.

Papelbon can't save the game in the 9th however, as Adam Kennedy leads off with a triple and scores on a sac fly to retie the game 8-8, for only the 4th blown save for Paps on the season. The Sox would get the go-ahead and winning run in the top of the 12th when Crisp leads off with a single, is bunted to second by Loretta (who came in to pinch hit for the 0 for 5 Dustin Pedroia in the 9th), goes to 3rd on a deep flyball out by Papi, and scores on a wild pitch by Hector Carrasco. Mike Timlin goes the 11th and stays in for the 12th to get the win.

The Sox go back over the .500 mark with the win, and had better start winning real soon.

43,115 fans were treated to a fine game at Angels Stadium as only one run
separated the combatants at game's end.  The Boston Red Sox won by the
slimmest of margins, 9 to 8.
 
The score was knotted at 8 after nine innings. Boston came out on top in the
12th inning.  Coco Crisp stroked a one-base hit.  Mark Loretta stepped into
the batter's box and he laid down a sacrifice bunt.  One out later, Hector
Carrasco came to the plate and let one slip out of his hand for a wild pitch
scoring the run.  Boston managed 13 in their victory.  
 
Mike Timlin(5-2) got the win allowing no runs in 2 innings. Scot Shields(7-4)
was the loser in relief.  He pitched 4 innings allowing 3 hits and 1 walk.

August 24, 2006 Phillies 6, Cubs 2

2007-11-07T21:45:00.001-05:00

The Phillies score 5 runs in the first 3 innings off Carlos Zambrano and hold on for the 6-2 win and sweep the 4 game series. Cole Hamels goes 7 solid innings to up his record to an impressive 12-1, and Ryan Howard hits his 40th homerun of the year, a 2-run shot in the first inning. The Phillies are outhit by the Cubs again, but still win by a wide margin.

Shane Victorino and David Dellucci have two of the most unusual box score lines that you will see, with Victorino's being 2 1 0 1 and Dellucci's at 3 2 0 0. The reason being that Victorino walked twice (scoring once) and had a sac fly for the RBI, while Dellucci walked once and was hit by a pitch, scoring both times.

August 23, 2006 Phillies 6, Cubs 2

2007-11-06T23:20:00.001-05:00

The Phillies put the long ball to work again today, with homeruns by Rollins, Howard, Burrell and Dellucci helping to put 6 runs on the board and beat the Cubs for the third straight day.

I noticed in your blog that your regular season is finished, including that hell of a Rangers-A's playoff game. I am not quite at your pace, but I will get mine done eventually. :)

2007-11-04T23:08:00.001-05:00

A big 4 run 8th inning opens up what until the 7th was a scoreless game. Both starters, Jon Lester and Kelvim Escobar were effective, although neither was involved in the decision. The Angels got 2 in the bottom of the 7th on back to back doubles (one off Lester and one off Mike Timlin) and a single for the 2-0 lead, but the Sox come right back.

A little small ball and big ball in the 8th, as after a leadoff Javy Lopez single, Gabe Kapler comes in to pinch-run. Alex Cora tries to bunt Kapler over and beats out the bunt to put runners on first and second. Coco Crisp bunts the runners over with the sacrifice, for second and third with one out. Dustin Pedroia, in his second major league game, singles to score both runners to tie the game, 2-2. David Ortiz then rips homerun number 50 of the year for 2 more runs and a 4-2 Sox lead. One more would score in the Sox 9th with a Mike Lowell triple and an error with Lowell scoring.

Boston had the winning rally in the top of the 8th inning scoring 4 runners on
4 hits.  The big moment was provided by David Ortiz who helped quiet the
crowd when he lifted one out of the park for a two run home run (his 50th of
the season).  The game was a scoreless duel until the 7th inning.  
 
The win went to Mike Timlin(4-2) who allowed 1 run in 2/3 of an inning.
Jonathan Papelbon was credited with his 29th save.  The loss was charged to
Francisco Rodriguez(4-4) in relief.

August 21, 2006 Phillies 13, Cubs 4

2007-11-03T22:23:00.001-04:00

The Phillies begin a 4 game series in Wrigley Field with the 13-4 pasting in what is, despite the late calendar date, the first meeting of the year between the Phils and Cubs. The Phils also have not played the Houston Astros yet, and don't play them for the first time this season until September 4th, believe it or not.

Anyway, back to the game. Aaron Rowand rips a first inning grand slam, which opens the floodgates against Cubs starter Rich Hill. Hill's game score for the game was a 5, with his 8 hits, 11 runs, 5 walks and 6 K allowed in 4 2/3 innings.

Despite being outscored by 9 runs, the Cubs shockingly outhit the Phils for the game 13-12! 7 walks for the Cubs pitchers and 10 Cubs left on base made that I am sure rare feat possible, outhitting a team and losing by 9 runs.

In a one-sided affair the Philadelphia Phillies batters pounded the Chicago
(NL) Cubs pitchers for 13 runs while Jon Lieber(8-5)with bullpen help allowed
Chicago (NL) 4 runs.
 
Jimmy Rollins was a seemingly constant irritant to the hometown fans as he
provided much of the offense for the visitors.  He lofted a three-run
'big-fly' (his 25th of the season) in the 4th inning and stroked a single
resulting in a run in the 8th inning.  Philadelphia simply wore out the
Chicago (NL) pitching staff, scoring in 6 different innings.  
 
The loss was charged to Rich Hill(4-4).  He served up 3 gopher balls in 4 and
2/3 innings.

August 21, 2006 Red Sox 6, Yankees 3

2007-11-01T22:35:00.001-04:00

The Sox manage to salvage 2 wins in the 5 game series with the 6-3 win. Ortiz and Ramirez play Damage Inc. today, accounting for all the scoring. Papi hits a 3-run homer in the 3rd for his 49th of the year, and Manny laces a 2-run shot in the 5th and an RBI double in the 7th. The Yankees finally get to David Wells for 2 runs in the 7th and a run in the 8th, as Wells fairly low pitch count enabled him to go 7 2/3 innings to give the bullpen a bit of a break. Paps comes in, runs into a little trouble in the 9th with two straight walks, but bears down to get save number 28.

The Red Sox currently sit 9 games behind the Blue Jays in the division race, and also 9 games behind Cleveland for the wild card with a little less that 40 games left.

August 20, 2006 Yankees 6, Red Sox 3

2007-10-31T21:35:00.001-04:00

A good pitchers duel betwen Mike Mussina and Curt Schilling, with a 30-13 combined record before today, goes sour when Robinson Cano seemed to ice the game for the Yanks with a 3-run homer off Keith Foulke in the 8th to give New York the 6-1 lead. The Red Sox would get two runs back in the bottom of the 8th on an error by Johnny Damon (one of 4 Yankee errors today, as all 3 runs that they allowed were unearned) to close the gap to 6-3. In the bottom of the 9th, Mariano Rivera retires the first two batters, but Gabe Kapler and Coco Crisp both single to bring the tying run to the plate. However, Mark Loretta would ground out to end the game.

isolated run on 3 hits.  New York (AL) ended up with 11 hits for the game
while Boston had 8.  
 
The victory was credited to Mike Mussina(17-6) who went 6 and 2/3 innings,
allowing 1 run. Mussina got relief help from Mariano Rivera who gained credit
for his 35th save.  The losing pitcher was Curt Schilling(14-8).  Despite the

August 20, 2006 Nationals 9, Phillies 7

2007-10-31T10:34:00.001-04:00

So much for a winning streak, as the Phillies lose their 6th of the last 7 games. The Phils led for most of the game, with Mike Lieberthal being a big part of it. Lieb goes 3 for 4 with 4 ribbies, falling a triple shy of hitting for the cycle, with a bases clearing 3 run double in the 2nd inning for a 4-2 Phillies lead, and after Nats catcher Brandon Harper hits his first major league homerun to close the gap to 6-4 in the 6th, Lieberthal hits a homer of his own to make it 7-4 Phils.

That lead would not hold up however, as all hell breaks loose in the Nats 8th. After the Nats load the bases against Geoff Geary and Rick White, Ryan Church smashes a pinch-hit grand slam homer off White and just like that erases the 3 run Phillie lead and put the Nats in front, 8-7. Alfonso Soriano adds a homer later in the inning, also off White, to make the score 9-7, which is the final as Chad Cordero gets the 2 inning save.

No lack of power from either team with 6 home runs in the game. I know that the Phils have no trouble hitting the long ball, and from what I have seen the Nationals have no trouble doing it either.

August 19, 2006 Phillies 8, Nationals 6

2007-10-28T15:18:00.001-04:00

The Phillies end their 5 game losing streak, shelling Ramon Ortiz for 6 runs and 7 hits in 1 2/3 innings. Chase Utley is the hitting star, going 2 for 3 with 2 homers. The Nats did make it interesting in the 4th, scoring 4 runs to close within 2 runs, but that was as close as they would get.

Cole Hamels didn't have his best stuff today, but thanks to plenty of run support gets back on the winning track after getting his first loss in his last start. 11-1 now on the season.

Chase Utley launched 2 homeruns and had 3 RBI as the Philadelphia Phillies
outscored the Washington Nationals 8 to 6.
 
Utley enjoyed a fine evening at the plate.  He blasted a two-run home run in
the 1st inning and ripped a solo home run (his 24th of the season) in the 4th
inning.  Philadelphia had a total of 12 hits for the game.  
 
Cole Hamels(11-1) went 6 innings allowing 4 runs for the victory. Arthur
Rhodes earned the save, his 3rd.  Ramon Ortiz(9-11) ended up with the loss.
 
When questioned, Charlie Manual remarked, 'It's been a while since a win felt
this good - heck, it's been a while since we had a win period!'

August 19, 2006 Yankees 14, Red Sox 7

2007-10-28T09:23:00.001-04:00

The Yankees score big early and score big late, with the Sox scoring in between as the Red Sox fall back to .500. The Yanks jumped out in front 5-0 after 2 innings off Josh Beckett. Now due to the very overworked bullpen lately, I was saying oh no not again! I was hoping to get at least 6 innings out of him, and thought for sure that wouldn't happen. But, Beckett retires 14 straight to enable Mike Lowell to singlehandedly get the Sox back in the game with a 3-run homer in the 3rd and a 2-run shot in the 5th to tie the game 5-all.

Beckett ended up going to the 8th, but after allowing 2 leadoff hits had to come out. Only one man was in the pen who hadn't pitched in the doubleheader yesterday - new callup Jermaine Van Buren. He promptly allows 3 straight doubles as the Yanks score 9 runs over the final two innings off Van Buren, Timlin and Declarmen to make the game a runaway as the relievers choke again.

15 extra base hits for the Yankees in the game, with 13 doubles (4 players had 2 doubles each) and 2 homers. Thanks to Mike Lowell, with his 3 for 4, 2 homer 6 RBI day, this game wasn't as much of a disaster as it could have been.

Jorge Posada went yard and had 4 RBI and Randy Johnson dominated striking out
11 Boston batters as the New York (AL) Yankees defeated the Boston Red Sox 14
to 7 at Fenway Park.
 
Posada was a seemingly constant irritant to the hometown fans as he provided
much of the offense for the visitors.  He bombed a two-run dinger (his 13th
of the season) in the 2nd inning, doubled knocking in a run in the 8th inning
and stroked a base-hit which scored a run in the 9th inning.  For the game
New York (AL) out-hit Boston 18 to 6.  
 
Johnson(10-11) picked up the victory, allowing 5 runs in 8 innings. Josh
Beckett(8-11) was the loser.  Johnson was humble when questioned about his
performance, 'Well, I felt pretty confident in my pitches this afternoon.
But, I had great support behind me and I just threw what was called.  That
was an extremely well called game!'

August 18, 2006 Nationals 8, Phillies 5

2007-10-27T23:42:00.001-04:00

The Nats hand the Phillies their 5th straight loss with a 4 run 9th inning. I will get to those details later. First, let me tell you about today's Nats starter Tony Armas Jr.

In his first 14 starts of the season up to June 9th, Armas was horrible, starting off 0-8 with a 6.53 ERA. Since that point, he has been sensational. Not including his last start (6 runs in 5 innings and a loss) and today's start, in a span of 7 starts he went 6-0. In that span of 48 1/3 innings, he only allowed 6 earned runs for an ERA of 1.12, lowering his season ERA by more than two runs, now at 6-9 and a 4.62 ERA for the season.

Now for the game. The Phils jumped right out in front with a 2 run first inning, but the Nats get a run in the 3rd and a solo homer by Ryan Church in the 4th to tie the game at 2. Chase Utley's homer in the 6th gives the Phils the lead beck 3-2, but Daryle Ward's 2 run pinch hit homerun in the top of the 7th gives the Nats their first lead of the game 4-3. Mike Lieberthal's solo blast in the bottom of the 7th ties the game back up again 4-4, and David Dellucci's RBI double later in the inning gives the Phils the lead back 5-4.

Then, disaster strikes. Ryan Madson comes in for the 8th and sails through the inning. I decide to leave Madson in for the 9th for the 2 inning save, but after an out and Austin Kearns pinch hit double and with Alfonso Soriano due up, I decide to go with Tom Gordon after all. Now with first base open, one out and a one run lead there is no way in hell that Soriano is going to get a chance to bat, so he is intentionally walked to set up the DP with Felipe Lopez coming to the plate. The move totally backfires, as Lopez blasts one over the fence for a 3-run homerun! To add insult to injury, next batter Ryan Zimmerman smacks a homer for back to back shots and an 8-5 Nats lead. Chad Cordero has no trouble in the 9th for his 31st save.

It turns out that Soriano's intentional walk was the go ahead run, so if Madson had walked him before Gordon came in Madson would have gotten the loss. Instead, Gordon gave him the free pass so Gordon gets the loss. Just as well, since Gordon is the one who gave up the homers that cost the game, and Madson would have gotten a semi-undeserved loss had he walked Soriano.

Ryan Zimmerman touched them all and had 2 RBI as the Washington Nationals
staged a dramatic comeback over the Philadelphia Phillies by a score of 8 to
5 at Citizen's Bank Park.
 
Washington had the winning rally in the top of the 9th inning when they
tallied 4 runs on 3 hits.  The key offensive moment was provided by Felipe
Lopez who silenced the crowd when he clubbed a three-run home run (his 11th
of the season).  A wild and woolly affair, this game saw the lead change 5
times.  
 
Jon Rauch(4-8) went 2 innings allowing 2 runs for the victory. Chad Cordero
earned the save, his 31st.  Tom Gordon(3-4) was the losing pitcher in relief.
He allowed 3 runs and 2 hits in 2/3 of an inning.  
 
Frank Robinson was feeling mighty fine as he answered questions in his office
after the game, 'Now that was one fine ending! Did you see how the crowd just
sat there in silence after the winning run scored? Here we are celebrating
wildly, and the stadium is cloaked in virtual silence.  Weird. but GREAT!'
