Game of the Day 6-29-10

Game of the Day

Ottawa 7 - Vancouver 4

Junior Lui: Junior Lui is having a season for the ages. Lui collected his 80th RBI this season in just his 50th game. If you some how keeps up this rate he will finish the season with 233 RBI’s crushing the current single season record of 202 RBI’s. This is why you should always check the Waive Wire people.

Bonehead move of the day: Allen Justice with the bases loaded walked Hub Gordon. Why is it a bonehead move, because Junior Lui bats behind Gordon that's why. Lui crushes a grand slam, sending Justice to the locker room for an early shower.


They Also Played ...

Florida 6 - Columbus 4: The fire sale has begun in Columbus. Come get them while there hot.

Jackson 4 - Iowa City 3: An amazing stat in the game. 5 homeruns where hit, with 4 solo shots. The game winning run came when Tim Perry hit a double.

San Jose 3 - Monterrey 1: Player of the game should go to Jose Gonzalez. Why you ask, well in the bottom of the 3rd the Stars had a chance to go ahead but Gonzalez nailed Stone Taylor trying to score on a sacrifice fly to right field. Stars couldn’t get anything going after that.

Philadelphia 5 - Oklahoma City 4: Before the game Philadelphia announced that they lower the outfield fences by one foot. Alex Valentin needs to the owner out for a nice dinner.

New York 4 - Milwaukee 3: Bruce Arnold must have a seeing eye dog somewhere because the ball he hit for the game winning run somehow made past the infield.

St. Louis 9 - Charleston 5: Game of a lifetime for Barry Miller. 6 RBI’s in one game is something very few people do.

Arizona 10 - Scranton 2: “For some reason my arm just went dead in the fifth inning,” Louie Mendoza said to reporters after the game. Arizona got 7 runs that inning.

Cincinnati 7 - Kansas City 6: Don’t believe the score, this game wasn’t even close.

Anaheim 12 - Jacksonville 7: Two Grand Slams from the beefpound today. That’s what I call a good day.

Dover 9 - Minnesota 4: Mark Allensworth still playing? It’s always good to see X-Tacoma players still hanging around.

New Britain 6 - Salem 5 (10 innings): Santiago Melendez got taken out to a nice steak dinner from the bullpen.

Portland 10 - Burlington 3: “My arm felt like Jello,” Mark Chang said about himself after giving up 6 runs in 2/3rd of an inning.

Tacoma 6 - Chicago 3: Congrats to Fernando Domingo for getting his 5th career stolen bases. “It only took 33 tries to do,” Domingo telling about the milestone, “I really feel like a speed demon now.”

Louisville 9 - Cleveland 8: Ismael Martin is really enjoying his shaving cream pie after knocking in the game winning run.

Game of the Day 6/28/10

Game of the Day: Philadelphia 6 - Oklahoma City 4

Oklahoma City Giving the game away: It’s going to be hard for the Kingfishers to let this game go. Moises Montero gives up a three-run homerun to pinch-hitter Pedro Alvarez with out in the bottom of the ninth.

Just get past the first inning: Andres Guerrero gave up four runs, 3 hits and 3 walks the first inning. The next 6 innings he only gave up 6 hits, 1 walks and 0 runs. Good job for a 22 year old pitcher for hanging in there.

Player to keep an Eye on: King Mateo is a player everyone needs to keep there eye on. After today 4-4 performance he’s hitting .353, .424 OBP, 6 homeruns and 27 RBI’s.

They Also Played ...

Chicago 6 - Tacoma 4 (15 innings): Kevin Morgan ends the marathon with a walk-off homerun. Despite stealing 8 stolen bases Tacoma can’t find a way to win.

Milwaukee 4 - New York 3: I think everyone was expecting a slug fest here.

Monterrey 2 - San Jose 1: Don’t be surprised if Tommie Relaford wins the Cy Young this season.

Burlington 3 - Portland 2: “I’m not hitting very well right now but hopefully driving in that run will turns things around for me,” Rod Champion says about his game winning run.

Florida 11 - Columbus 0: Who said Florida doesn’t have any offense?

Durham 11 - Boston 5: 6 homeruns, 17 runs scored. I’d expect nothing less from these two teams.

Cleveland 10 - Louisville 2: Who says Cleveland doesn’t have an offense?

Arizona 5 - Scranton 4: Nothing like driving in the winning run from a walk. But Max Figureoa isn’t complaining to much.

Jackson 6 - Iowa City 1: Not the way Orber Santiago thought his comeback season would start. Giving up 6 runs in 2.2 innings could send him back to the minors.

Dover 5 - Minnesota 0: It took 10 starts but Pablo Mota finally wins his first game of the season. Look for his second win around the 20th start.

Anaheim 4 - Jacksonville 2: Anything and everything I said about Rodrigo Romero at the beginning of the season I take back.

Ottawa 3 - Vancouver 2 (10 innings): Howard “The Duck” Duckworth has become my favorite name in the league.

Charleston 5 - St. Louis 2: The Alomar family is sure proud of Juan Alomar. You know Carlos Alomar the guitarist.

Cincinnati 8 - Kansas City 6: I think it’s save to say Wilson Fisher won’t win 20 games for the 5th straight season.
