Intentional Walks

Sorry I am not posting as much as I should but I am currently moving to a new house this weekend and there is a ton of stuff to be done beforehand. Now, to get to some of the sports stuff.

-Royals relief pitcher Vin Mazzaro allowed 14 runs in 2.1 innings as Kansas City fell to the Indians 19-1 on Monday.

-The Yankees losing streak is now at 6 after A.J. Burnett blew the lead in the 6th inning last night. Nothing is going right for the Yankees. Wild pitches, poor throws, poor defense, an almost complete lack of hitting, yeah it is ugly. This is the longest losing streak of the Joe Girardi era.

-The Red Sox are now over .500 for the first time this season after coming back against the Orioles last night. As bad as the Yankees are playing, the Red Sox are the complete opposite right now.

-How far has Jason Bay's stock with the Mets fallen? He was asked to bunt to bring up Daniel Murphy and Justin Turner. Wow.

-Jon Niese, Mets relief pitcher, hit a triple last night, in the same inning that Marlins relief pitcher Burke Badenhop drove in what turned out to be the game winning run.

-Arnold Schwarznegger admitted that wife Maria Shriver left him after learning that Arnold fathered a child with a staffer. So, I guess the steroids didn't affect his package.

-Michael Dunn, former Yankee prospect, struck out 5 Mets in 2 innings. He now carries a 1.96 ERA and .98 WHIP. I'm going to go out on a limb and say Dunn, a lefty reliever who was included in the Javy Vazquez/Boone Logan trade, is just a bit better than Boone Logan at this point.

-The Mets have no luck. They started winning so what happens? They lose Ike Davis to injury, Carlos Beltran to pink eye, and David Wright to a stress fracture in his lower back. If I am Jose Reyes I am wrapping myself in bubble wrap.

-The Yankees have only one more win than the Mets.

-The Nationals and Yankees have the same amount of wins.

-Prior to last nights game, the Tampa Bay Rays had not scored more than 5 runs in a home game this year. They scored 5 runs in the 6th inning alone last night as they came back to beat the Yankees.

-Last week Melky Cabrera homered against the Yankees. Last night Johnny Damon homered against them. Coming up, Hideki Matsui as the Revenge of the 2009 Yankees continues.

-Alex Rodriguez is hitting .180 over the last 23 games. He has not hit well since an issue with his oblique.

-Hector Noesi has spent 14 days on the Yankees in two separate call-ups this season and has not faced a single batter. Umm, why is he on the team then?

-So I guess it is safe to say that the Blue Jays' Jose Bautista is for real. He only has 63 homers in his last 162 games. The guy is like Albert Pujols from a couple of years ago. Just a monster.

-Kyle Farnsworth got the save against the Yankees last night, setting them down 1-2-3 last night.

-Cliff Lee walked 6 Cardinals last night to raise his season total to 13. He walked only 18 men all of last year.

-If Shane Battier doesn't re-sign in Memphis the Knicks should go after him. The stats aren't superstar quality but the guy is a leader and plays both offense and defense. Just sayin'.

Well, break out your umbrellas people. It is like an episode of "The Killing" out there, raining and gloomy. Enjoy the sports today if there is any you wanna watch, or isn't rained out.
