Yardwork: JD Drew’s Back is Not Thanking Him This Morning
Uncategorized May 16th. 2007, 1:01pm
Oakland 5, Kansas City 4: So what’s the deal with these two teams and late-inning drama? Sure seems like nobody does much of anything for the first seven innings, and then the offenses wake up against mediocre bullpens (and with Oakland’s Street going to the DL, these woes will surely continue) to make things interesting. Dan Johnson’s sac fly in the 11th won it for Oakland. Fantasy owners take note: struggling Zach Greinke came out of the bullpen and got five outs, four via strikeout.
Arizona 3, Colorado 0: Randy Johnson? Yeah, he’s still got it. Six innings of one-hit ball, in Coors, no less, and nine strikeouts. It was by far his best performance of the season, but just a reminder: it’s just one start against a putrid offense.
Phillies 4, Brewers 3: If Brewers fans haven’t already, they’re going to start to – bad pun alert – turn on Turnbow. He gave up a walk-off homer to Carlos Ruiz and Milwaukee has lost 4 of 5. At least Prince Fielder homered. That’s good news.
San Francisco 5, Houston 6: Armando Benitez blew his first save of the season by giving up a 2-run homer in the eighth inning, and Carlos Lee finished things with a solo jack to win it in the 10th. Astros fans haven’t had too much to cheer about, but Lee is the exception. Quietly, he’s batting .336 with nine homers and 37 RBI.
Minnesota 7, Cleveland 15: It’s about time we admitted something – the Twins are beginning to worry us. What’s with trotting out bums like Ramon Ortiz to get slaughtered by the powerful Indians offense? Minnesota is now 18-20, fourth in the Central. At what point do we send out the SOS for Joe Mauer? Who are we kidding. He’s probably milking that trip to the DL. You’d do the same if this was your girlfriend.

You got the score wrong on the Twins game.
And yes, T-Bow is killing the Crew. (as is, to a lesser extent, Craig Counsell)

Mauer actually broke up with Miss Cooley, also. But I’m sure he’s getting some other fine Minnesotan trim.

Whoa … that’s breaking news if true. Got a link?

I don’t have a link for the breakup, but it happened a few months ago now. I do have a link for him in a “Most eligible bachelor” contest. Some of the comments there are absolute gold.

Score was most definitely 15-7 in favor of the Tribe. Give C-town some props. It’s not very often we have two winning sports teams and a new hit record by Bone Thugs-n-Harmony to be proud of.
