I wasn't ready for the heat and humidity today, and got to the ballpark ill-prepared.
It's a 12:15 game - Fox picked up the broadcast. Was supposed to be a 6pm game, so that's why the place is half empty (but will still have a decent attendence number because they count tickets sold - paid attendance - and how many people really knew about the time change. And here it is - a battle of two first place teams.
Hey! Bill Wennington (former chicago Bull) threw out the first pitch! (But so did Leon Spinx... big contrast there)
If this is a possible post-season matchup, we'rein trouble. The game was a mess. Even though, we're first to score and lead 2-0 through 2, Jon Garland gives up 7 runs in 6 innings. Call-up David Sanders comes in at the top of the 7th. ONE PITCH - Chone Figgins homered to left. FOUR PICHES - Orlando Cabrera walked. Garret Anderson looks at a strike, hits one foul, and on his THIRD PITCH doubled to deep right, scoring Orlando Cabrera. Vladimir Guerrero on frst pitch hit sacrifice fly to center, Garret Anderson scored.
Let's see... 1 + 4 + 3 + 1 = 9 pitches = 3 runs.
Ozzie actually throws in the towel, and starts substituting players (5 of them) during our half of the 7th, and we put 3 more runs on the board.
Not enough.
