Only 8xbh, I thought the Yankees traded Mussina back to Baltimore.

21 singles

2 doubles

6 home runs

8 walks

1 error

wow

The #8 and #9 hitters had 7rbi a piece.

Also, this was game one of a double header, game two is starting right now.

The Rangers' bats might be a bit tired for the second one.

I wouldn't even bother playing game 2 tonight. Hopefully Mazzone is flying to Atlanta right now.

[LkptTiger 1]

*sigh* I miss that man - even the constant rocking.

[RadioGaGa 162]

Baltimore only used 4 pitchers? Holy Crap. Who was managing? Mario Trembley?

double header, four game series starting monday. probably didn't want to kill the bullpen.

He had to have figured Game One was too fargone to be breaking deep into the pen. No sense throwing seven different pitchers in a game that's already lost when you have another one to play right after it.

Exactly, there's only one manager that empties his pen in blowouts, and he's too busy in Anaheim tonight.

[RadioGaGa 162]

But still...there's gotta be some poor schmuck on that staff who's ERA just went from 4 point something to, oh I don't know....50 *L*

Sometimes, its gotta be disheartening to look to the dugout and he's still not coming out to get ya.

[LkptTiger 1]

They're in Baltimore - I'm pretty sure those guys are pretty numb by now.

[mik3 1]

Sometimes you have to just take one for the team. Two of their three quality relievers pitched last night.

Burress should just be happy this wasn't a team managed by Piniella. He usually just leaves in whoever lets it get TOO out of control. Most memorably to me, Travis Harper in 05 against the Yankees. .2ip 9er 1bb 0k 4hr

Game 2 is 3-0 Texas in the second inning.

[mack 44]

On the bright side no one on Texas is going to have legs for the 2nd half.

Also how did Texas get a save for this?

[LkptTiger 1]

3-0 Tejas already - top of the second.

*mik beat me*

[mik3 1]

Also how did Texas get a save for this?

Littleton pitched three innings.

Yeah, but you don't have to run very hard when it's Grand Slams....not like they were legging out triples all night.

[mack 44]

Baseball has to have the worst stats possible.

[mik3 1]

I just looked at the team stats, even if Texas doesn't go nuts in the second game they'll go from 14th in the league in runs to about 6-7

[mack 44]

I'm just waiting for the damn LLWS to get back on even though Erin Andrews is off for the night it seems. Also trying to see about getting my Legion stats updated with this arbitrary save rule. Post 1 Wall of Fame here I come.

Edit: Wow, I think all the kids on the MN team are related to each other. They look awfully big and special.

[LkptTiger 1]

*Edit - Re. Stat Update:* Thanks for the chuckle, mack.

[Jason Harris 31]

It's amazing to score that many runs, yet not score in five of the innings.

When I was checking my baseball pool tonight, i saw this score, and thought "That must be a typo". Then found this link and it described it in the first four lines..
