Soriano HR (13)
D Lee HR (6)...finally
Roy Halladay 9IP 14K, first to 9 wins. Peyton Manning, I want your Halladay Auto RC
Joe Mauer HR (12)
Finally, Nelson Cruz is moved up in the order, batting 4th: HR (15). Batting .295 on the year. If this guy doesn't get into the allstar game, it would be a disgrace.

Hanley Ramirez: 3/4, 2 R, 1 RBI, raising his average to .346. Wes Helms pinch ran for him for some reason, so I hope he didn't get hurt. The Sun-Sentinel said after his game yesterday he wasn't fully recovered, so I'm not sure what to think.

Man, does this guy come back from injuries well. After not playing full-time from the 26th to 29th, he is 11/18. This after he had his streak of six multi-hit games after coming back from another injury.

Hanley Ramirez is the best player in baseball.

+1

They said on MLB TV during live game look-ins that his groin was still sore but he refused to sit out

Hanley is a warrior

MANBERRIES OF STEEL

 

[All The Hype]

Tigers lost. Loaded the bases in the 9th and then struck out three times in a row to end the game.


Jeff Larish needs to be sent down to the minors because he is physically incapable of hitting fastballs right down the middle of the plate.

J Upton granny!

Raul Ibanez just hit one. It's his 37th birthday, and it was number 200 for his career. Pretty good timing.


He also has a double.

I wonder what Papelbons WHIP is, I don't like how interesting he's been making his saves, hes turning into Todd Jones!

Hammerin' Hanley strikes again.

As posted above, aided by Mauers 12th HR in just 90-100 or so AB's, Kevin Slowey picked up the win to go 8-1 on the season. Joe Nathan recorded save #10, and thats about all the important highlights on the side of the Twins.

Twins over Indians 4-3

2nd HR and his 5th RBI. Heck of a birthday.

 

[ryanhoward06]

Great debut for Antonio Bastardo. 6IP 4H 1ER 1BB 5 SO


Raul just hit another bomb. 51 RBI 19 HR's

Despite the line, rough game for lincecum

ND 6.1 Innings 7K 2 ER (lowered his season era to 3.01)

 

[pujolsjunkie]

Haren goes 7, allows 2 hits, 1 run, Ks 7, goes 3/3 at the plate, leaves with a 5-1 lead and.....



Gets a ND. AJ Hinch brings in Dan Schlereth with the bases juiced and James Loney clears the bases with a double to tie the game. Haren is far and away the biggest victim of a team's crap play this season. He has been STELLAR.

As for Hanley, he came out because it was 10-1 and there was NO reason to have him in when he's got about four different injuries going right now and was going to sit a game on this homestand anyway. I respectfully disagree that he's the best player in baseball though. Pujols will not be relinquishing that title any time soon in my opinion.
