sweep Stories - Athletics Nation
When you clean out the hive, does it make you want to cry? Are you still being followed by the 2 out RBI? Reds win, 12-3.
<!-- BEGIN WIDGET -->Joe Nuxhall Memorial Honorary Star of the Game Ryan Hanigan. Everyone had a great game today, but Hanigan gets special recognition. He went 4-4 with a walk, two home runs, and four RBI. I would put our catching tandem up against any other team's. And with blue chip...
The Day The White Sox Lost The Central: Part 2
Last season when the White Sox dropped their July 31st game in the Metrodome in painful fashion and picked up Ken Griffey Jr. to play CF on the same day, I wrote a tongue-in-cheek headline that read "The Day The White Sox Lost The Central." Nearly a year later with the Sox getting swept out of the...
White Sox Sweep First DoubleHeader Since '01
After the Rain Comes a Rainbow Record rain fell on Chicago Saturday, postponing the White Sox scheduled doubleheader with the Tigers. Rain fell all afternoon and night on Friday, postponing that scheduled game to after the end of the "regular season." Rain fell all morning and into the early...
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...
Signs of Life
Bizarre. There's no simpler way to describe Sunday's victory in San Francisco than "bizarre." It appeared as if the White Sox would be in for a long day, with a good pitcher in Matt Cain on the mound and John Danks representing their only baserunner offensively in the first 4 innings. But Joe...
Lessons Learned
And just what did we learn today from today's 6-4 Cub win over the Diamondbacks, their second come-from-behind win in a row, completing a sweep over a team that came into Chicago with the best record in baseball? First, mea culpa to everyone I was talking to in the game thread saying "CALL THIS...
Sweep!
Remember yesterday when I told you the Pirates were a bad team? And some of you disagreed with me? The Pirates are a really, really, really bad team. The Cubs smacked Pirates pitching around again today for 13 runs (this time on 18 hits and seven walks) and completed the series sweep with a 13-6...
Shea It Ain't So
Getting swept, even against a 1st-place team like the New York Mets, hurts. Losing in the way the A's did in this weekend series, with two lopsided scores (Friday and today) and the much closer 1-0 contest yesterday, is extremely painful. The way the A's lost today's game wasn't something you could...
