soxsoxsoxsox Posted April 13, 2013 Share Posted April 13, 2013 Wow, this is just asinine Diamondbacks owner forces Dodgers fans to change clothes or move seats http://sports.yahoo.com/blogs/mlb-big-leag...html#more-74437 Due to the high visibility of the home plate box, we ask opposing team's fans when they purchase those seats to refrain from wearing that team's colors. During last night's game, when Ken Kendrick noticed the fans there, he offered them another suite if they preferred to remain in their Dodger gear. When they chose to stay, he bought them all D-backs gear and a round of drinks and requested that they abide by our policy and they obliged.

Noonskadoodle Posted April 13, 2013 Share Posted April 13, 2013 Im not gonna lie....I wish we had a team like the As. Just NO quit & everybody in their lineup battles each & every AB. ....they can pitch a little too haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caulfield12 Posted April 14, 2013 Share Posted April 14, 2013 (edited) Astros leading the Angels again. Former Sox hurler Lucas Harrell on the mound, haha. 2-0 Stros in the bottom of the 5th. Angels' rookie Luis Jimenez just got his first major league hit...a blooper to put runners on 2nd and 3rd for LAA. Strikes out JB Shuck to avoid facing Trout with bases loaded. Former Sox Cris Carter with his 4th homer to account for the 2 runs. Edited April 14, 2013 by caulfield12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caulfield12 Posted April 14, 2013 Share Posted April 14, 2013 (edited) Josh Hamilton solo homer follows a Pujols GIDP (Trout Farm had singled to begin the inning). Should have sent Trout...he seems more hesitant to steal bases so far this year, plus he hasn't been getting on base as much to establish a rhythm. 2-1 Astros into the 7th. Will be a battle of the bullpens. Harrell only ended up giving up the one run. Anyone want that Pujols contract? CJ Wilson still hasn't won a game, either. HOU with 213 losses the last two seasons combined. Most losses in back to back seasons since the 64-65 Mets. Went 4-34 in one stretch last year. How is that even POSSIBLE?

caulfield12 Posted April 14, 2013 Share Posted April 14, 2013 Former Hawkeye football player Marquis Bo Porter called for the suicide squeeze and it worked to perfection, haha. Scioscia brought in a LHR (Sean Burnett) to face a RHB who promptly drove in a run. 4-1 Astros to the bottom of the 7th. Crowd quieted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caulfield12 Posted April 14, 2013 Share Posted April 14, 2013 Talent trumps tenaciousness. This time, Pujols delivers the game winner with two out in the bottom of the 9th, plating Jimenez and Trout, who'd reached on an infield single. Almost had more fun cheering for the undermanned Astros against the Western Evil Empire than the White Sox yesterday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caulfield12 Posted April 14, 2013 Share Posted April 14, 2013 http://sports.yahoo.com/blogs/mlb-big-leag...11649--mlb.html Quentin's twitter feed hacked...I liked the line "went all psychopathic like The Punisher" (@missnighthawk on Twitter) Granted, this is a very tame alteration, which is part of the reason why we can bring it to you, but it's still pretty funny. It's also factually correct, or at least the part about Nick Blackburn being the pitcher who's hit him the most is correct. In 37 plate appearances, Blackburn has drilled Quentin four times. That's a pretty high rate, though not as high as Quentin's batting average (.419) against him. Quentin has also homered three times against the Minnesota Twins right-hander. Three different pitchers have plunked Quentin three times. Of course Zack Greinke is the most notable name in that group for several reasons. Jon Lester of the Boston Red Sox is also on that short list. But if there was one person who should be truly watching his back, it would be Erik Bedard. He's equaled that total in just nine plate appearances. Maybe it's just me, but if a guy is hitting me every third plate appearance on average, that's the one I'd be seeking answers from.

I hope quentin breaks his shoulder too. These pitchers often don't get what's coming to them. Whether Zack tried to hit him this time or not, he has certainly tried in the past.

Fine, they have bad weather and have to make it up. That happens. These "one off" series year round when teams don't face each other again will cause more travel issues for teams, while they claim the unbalanced schedule helps with travel. It could be good for some teams and worse for others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both teams lose an off day, and the Mets have to make a one day trip there. It's a bigger gamble with the schedule now that there are more one and done series.
