Adrian Beltre's double in the eighth scored David Ortiz from first ("I'm a speed killer, whenever I feel like it").
The Yankees lost to Cleveland 4-1 and the Rays beat the Tigers 3-2. The Red Sox are 7 GB New York, and 5 GB Tampa Bay in the WC. The Rays are 2 GB the Yankees in the East.
And Spiders/Yankees and Tigers/Rays.
1904 - Manager John McGraw says the Giants "will not play a post season series with the American League champions. ... When we clinch the National League pennant, we'll be champions of the only real major league." Boston wins the AL pennant. There is no World Series.
1927 - 18-year-old Mel Ott hits his first major-league home run, an inside-the-parker. It is the only ITPHR of his 511 career homers.
1930 - Cincinnati reliever Ken Ash throws only one pitch, but gets credit for a win over the Cubs, as Charlie Grimm hits into a triple play.
1948: St. Louis native Hank Arft triples and homers in his debut with the Browns. Tomorrow's chants of "Arft, Arft" will result in his nickname of "Bow Wow."
1988 - Tommy John of the Yankees commits three errors on one play.

ReplyDeleteThe perils of fame and fortu.....well, of fame:)
ReplyDeleteI hate that for you guys. I know it's got to be very frustrating. At least it was a bit shorter this time, if I'm recalling the first time correctly. Still, 75 minutes could be the difference between catching a flight or not. I hope this resolves itself, although I'm not very hopeful it will.
And I would love to say "only a Yankee could commit 3 errors on 1 play", but I know I would e proven wrong in a skinny minute
Game thread at Ish's place again, I assume. With Zen overseeing?
