We lost again. This is the beginning of the end...

Lost again tonight - swept by the Orioles. Maybe we'll do better in Cleveland tomorrow. The Indians just got swept by the Reds and have the same W-L record that we do.

you know you are running bad when you are shut out by the worst team in baseball :fyi:

Obi-Wan Kenobi · **Posted:** Fri Jun 15, 2012 3:40 pm

The Padres are also contenders for that title.

faithfulservant · **Posted:** Fri Jun 15, 2012 4:20 pm

contenders true...but i checked the standings before posting to make sure they had the worst record.... and while the team with the worst record might not be the worst team in baseball...at least they can claim the title this day...for now... :fyi:

i thought the sawx were like the cubs...because of the size of their park and the fanaticism of their fans, they always sell out...no matter what

You heard correctly ... although only one of the runs was earned ... but the unearned runs were caused by an error made by Valverde himself.

Dodgers came back to beat the Pale Hose ..... Thank you, LA!

Looks like El Caballo is back for the 'stros. Should give them a little boost.

faithfulservant · **Posted:** Sun Jun 17, 2012 3:30 pm

we need as much help as possible...as often as possible ... ain't makin' no difference today that's for sure

but the yanks swept the nats and are pretty white hot lately....19-4 since they were at .500 on may 21

Anyone watch MLB Full Count on Yahoo Sports? It's free, online, and offers live updates. Kind of like MLB Network on television.

nope

fabulous little factoid 8-)

Quote:

Out in Seattle, Stephen Pryor carved a bizarre place in no-hitter history himself. He was the winning pitcher in the Mariners' six-pitcher no-hit blockbuster even though he managed to allow more hitters (two) to reach base than he got outs (one). He struck out Juan Rivera for the final out of the seventh inning, then walked the first two hitters he faced in the eighth, and off he went. But since the Mariners scored in between the whiff and the two walks, presto -- Pryor became the winning pitcher.

That means he will go down as the first pitcher ever to get a win in a no-hitter while racking up only one of the 27 outs. He also set a record for fewest batters faced by a winning pitcher in a no-hitter (three). The old record-holder was Ricardo Rincon, of "Moneyball" fame, with four, in relief of Francisco Cordero in a 10-inning no-hitter by the Pirates on July 12, 1997.
