Sport Posted June 29, 2011 Share Posted June 29, 2011 The Reds and Indians both lost tonight. Okay, not that weird. Here's what's weird: Both teams led in the game before giving up the lead in the 8th inning. Both teams tied the game with home runs in the top of the 9th. Both teams lost in the bottom of the 9th on a walkoff home run. Both lost to expansion teams that began in 1998, in roofed stadiums. That's a little weird.

Shumway Posted June 29, 2011 Share Posted June 29, 2011 Vernon Wells as of late has been, well, what Angels' fans were hoping for. It's about time, Vern. 4-5 with a HR tonight, raising the average to a still dismal .219. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's about time, Vern. 4-5 with a HR tonight, raising the average to a still dismal .219.And coinciding with that, the Nats are now 0-2 under Davey Johnson, after giving up 11 runs tonight.It will be interesting if this team goes into some sort of tailspin under Johnson, after winning 12 of 13 (or whatever it was) right before Rigs' resignation.

HedleyLamarr Posted June 29, 2011 Share Posted June 29, 2011 Why does a domed stadium (albeit, retractable roof) need a tarp?Seems odd that Safeco Field has a tarp... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BBTV Posted June 29, 2011 Share Posted June 29, 2011 Why does a domed stadium (albeit, retractable roof) need a tarp?Seems odd that Safeco Field has a tarp...Theirs is more a covering rather than an enclosed building like Houston and Milwaukee, right? Maybe rain could blow in from the sides? Either way, at least conceptually, it's my favorite of any of the retractable roof parks, because it seems like a real baseball stadium that just happens to have a cover that can be rolled over it.

pmoehrin Posted June 29, 2011 Share Posted June 29, 2011 For Wright I'd want Porcello and Inge.Be willing to throw in a back end rotation guy like Chris Young or Chris Capuano as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dexter Morgan Posted June 29, 2011 Share Posted June 29, 2011 ...why would anyone want Brandon Inge? Yeah, he can play a few positions, can field them well, but he can't hit worth a damn. .203 AVG / .267 OBP / .271 SLG / .538 OPS (2011).236 AVG / .306 OBP / .389 SLG / .695 OPS (Career) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dexter Morgan Posted June 30, 2011 Share Posted June 30, 2011 With Derek Jeter closing in on 3,000 hits, this hasn't caught on yet. Mariano Rivera is just 21 saves short of 600. 22 short of matching Trevor Hoffmann for most saves all time, 23 short for passing him.Through 78 games he has 21 saves. 84 to go.. it could be done this season.
