 Williams gets Cora to ground into a double play with his sinker, not his curve ball.
 
 They should let Venerable and I have the SAP channel to call the game.

Anyone but Joe Morgan... I think that they have one of Roberto Clemente's kids calling the game on SAP...

For those scoring at work, or if you're alone, that's scored a caught stealing for Renteria, and an error on Perez, despite the fact there was no out recorded, nobody advanced, and no pitch to the plate.  I love MLB stats some time.

Walker looked silly striking out on his first at-bat, but not this time.  He tattooed a first pitch curveball over the right-field fence.  And the best fans in baseball have now asked for a curtain call from both sluggers after their HR.  Great scene.
 
 And Odalis' reward: Pujols, then Rolen, Renreria, Edmonds, Sanders.....

And the rout is on, Perez is chased in the third.  6-0 cards.  There is no way Jeff Weaver wins game two in a must win situation.  The Dodgers only chance was to win game one and with no pressure, the good Jeff Weaver may show up.  He'll be lucky to make it past the third himself.

to sorta quote david berman, "odalis, you shine with an evil light."
 
 edmonds has the sweetest looking swing since will clark in the late '80s.

So true.
 
 I'm still amazed he went from a clubhouse cancer in Anaheim to a likeable guy in St. Louis.  At least he got to see Washburn, Erstad, Salmon, Percival and Anderson get ring without him.  That made me feel good.

As a Yankees fan, I can assure you that Jeff Weaver will implode tomorrow. I've seen it too many times before. Too bad - he looked like he had so much potential in Detroit, and now he's just Kenny Rogers all over again.

He has begun his tirade on how the Dodgers handled the Milton Bradley the correct way and how Anaheim handled the Guillen situation the wrong way, with Tracy showing support for Bradley and helping him get through it.  What Scioscia did won't help Guillen.
 
 Three points:  (1) Bradley admitted he has a problem and is seeking help, Guillen has not.  (2) Bradley apologized for letting his team down.  Guillen has not.  (3) Bradley's anger has been directed at everybody BUT teammates and the coaches in Los Angeles (fans, umpires, and the media sure), all of Guillen's anger has been directed at the coaches and the pitching staff.  
 
 Joe Morgan, you're wrong.  Again.

i suppose it's a rumour that's been around for while.. back in the angels day.  no, it's not the a's fan that's bitter, it's the baseball fan that thinks edmonds is a big time jerk that cares only about himself.
