Nope. He stayed in after a quick patch up job. He got spiked blocking home plate after a past ball

Awesome.

With "Vanimal" and GioG pitching, and both teams Offenses struggling, it SHOULD be a quick one in DC. Of course, I said that for Halladay-Hanson on Wednesday too LOL...

And how will the Mets screw Santana today?

O's up 8-0 in the 4th.

Chris Capuano moves to 4-0 (7IP 3H/7K) with an ERA of 2.21. Wow.

Chris Johnson Grand Slam. Astros 4-1.

Reddick HR. A's 1-0

Boomo Butler 2 RBI double. KC 2-0.

Cuddyer Grand Slam

Does everybody on the Royals throw 97+ ?

Entire Pitching staff is collapsing at an alarming rate. Not sure someone saw something this massive coming.

first homer of the year for Trout

Damn these threads are too similar.

Giancarlo has found his groove. HR # 5. :mrgreen:

Finally. I guess the knee is getting better.

5 RBI (ties career game high) so far today for Chipper Jones in the 7th inning. Having a monster season for an old guy.

Trout just missed a granny there.

think hes going to be a keeper.

Last 7 games for Mike Stanton:

9/28, .321, 5 HR, 9 RBI, 4 BB/8 K, 2 2B

First 19 games for Mike Stanton:

16/65, .246, 0 HR, 5 RBI, 4 BB/17 K, 4 2B

I would say that first homer has helped him improve slightly

Hopefully he can improve that BB/K ratio so he doesn't go the way of Adam Dunn...1 BB for every 3 Ks isn't overly impressive
