That was a quick one. C.C. allows some contact and Padilla strikes out the side, which is pretty shocking, really. It's one thing to get Grady to strike out swinging as he does that pretty often and it's not like it's that hard to get Casey to strike out looking, as he seems to excel at that, but to get Pronk?
Into the second we go...
Top of the 2nd, Rick Manning: "Texas has not done well offensively on the road this year." Thanks for the jinx, there, Rick.
Sosa pops out to JP. JP's been involved in all of the outs so far. I'll admit it: I'd like to see Sammy do well this year. Then again, I wanted him to beat Big Mac, too.
And C.C. makes Blaylock look silly to end the top of the 2nd.
Yet again all but one AL Central team is playing someone in the AL Central. Obviously they can't keep that schedule up forever, but it's interesting to see it happen. Tori Hunter gets to see his beloved Royals tonight.
Garko gets hit by a pitch, one on one out for Trot "God is on my side" Nixon.
And he delivers with what should be scored as a single and an extra base on the throw. Garko 90 feet from giving us the lead.
My friend Brett's fiance calls Jhonny Peralta "fat face." Let's go fat face.
Evidently Padilla got a 3 year $33 million deal from the Rangers. The Westbrook deal is a steal.
And they walk the .196 hitting Peralta. Bases loaded and -- thank god -- Casey Blake no where in sight.
Wow. That was just...wow.
And more wow.
The Texas 2nd baseman completely booted a play that allowed two runs to score and no outs to be recorded. Then Barfield sacrifices JP in. The Grady knocks Choo in with a big hit.
Not only are we now up 3-0, but Padilla is creeping up on 40 pitches. And Grady steals??
We steal now? The Indians? I'd be more excited if that didn't just move another runner into scoring position for...Casey Blake.
Wow.
"It seems like since Casey was moved from the outfield to 3rd base he's been hitting the ball better." -STO guy whose name I don't know.
And there's your proof. Two more runs in!
Yeah, no joke, you get behind 3-1 on Pronk, you walk him.
And we're finally out of the second. C.C. must be happy about all this.
