Rockies 10, Cubs 6: Dreamy leads Rockies past Cubs and Ubaldo's wildness
The Colorado Rockies (12-15) overcame a very shaky outing by Ubaldo Jimenez to beat the Chicago Cubs (17-13) and Ryan Dempster Saturday in Tucson. Colorado scored three in the first with a walk, two singles and a Garrett Atkins home run. Ubaldo's implosion led to a 6-4 deficit in the eighth...
Rockies 9, Giants 7: Rockies hang on for second win
Franklin Morales makes case for rotation spot Clint Hurdle gave 8 innings to two fifth starter hopefuls Saturday. Franklin Morales (1-1) started and pitched four shutout innings for the win, lowering his spring ERA from 9.00 to 5.00. He even collected a single off Giants starter Matt Cain. ...
Special Teams Let the Coyotes Down Again as Blues Win 2-1
With the loss the Coyotes get one loss closer to golf season. Godawful...(Coyotes Wing Daniel Winnik in photo) Holy... I don't even know the words... Bryz lets in a softie and the Power Play forgets that just because you're on the Power Play, it doesn't mean the other team isn't allowed to touch...
Columbus...goes....blue!
So after far too much of a delay, finally, your game wrap from last night. A big apology to my partner here and our readers for failing on the preview. You can thank the city of Chicago and their budget crisis for that, which led to my car being in their possesion for most of the day yesterday,...
Sekacpuc? A's 6, Red Sox 3
You know what I liked best about this SWEEP OF THE FRICKIN' RED SOX? The fact that the A's did virtually everything right in the three games, from hitting to pitching to defense to Geren's strategic moves, but rarely got lucky and never seemed to be playing above their heads. They simply...
Macha was right: A's 12, Rangers 6
OK, I'll admit it: I'm emotionally and financially invested in Rich Harden not succeeding. (For those of you who missed it, mikeA and I made a wager last year that Harden wouldn't reach 10 more starts + saves for the A's. As of today, mikeA's only 5 starts/saves away from winning.) But he just...
We get our walks the old-fashioned way -- we *earn* them: A's 7, Royals 1
If you look at the boxscore of today's game, Evel Knieveland and Snake Hochevar Canyon don't appear to have pitched completely different ballgames: Eveland: 5.2 IP, 95 pitches/53 strikes, 4 BB, 3 K Hochevar: 4.2 IP, 98 pitches/58 strikes, 3 BB, 4 K Eveland, however, only gave up 3 hits (and...
Shouldn't have been that close: Indians 7, A's 1
Cliff Lee was virtually unhittable today. With some better defense behind him, he could have been literally unhittable: with the exception of Garko's Tyrone Power impersonation on Buck's "triple" in the 2nd, and Pherhalhtha's subsequent underplay of Ellis's run-scoring infield "single," the A's...
Winning pretty ... then ugly ... then pretty again: A's 9, Indians 7, AccuWeather 1
Rarely does a win feel as bad as that. The A's stomped out to a big lead against C.C. Sabathia and a couple Indians relievers, taking a 9-1 lead on the strength of a whole lot more doubles, and more excellent PAs by Bobby Crosby (3/3, 2 BBs). Then Joe Blanton and Fernando Hernandez started...
... and the offense falls off a cliff: Indians 2, A's 1
Joe Blanton once again pitched a very good (not great) game for the A's, shutting the Tribe down for 6 innings; but Joe tired in the 7th inning, and his mechanics and control began to slip, and the Indians squeezed across 2 runs on a potential double-play grounder muffed by Barton and a...
