The theme of the evening was... well, I sort of already told you in the title, so I really don't need to elaborate here. But I have to write something, or else it won't let me post the story. So... blah blah blah, watermelon watermelon. Is that enough? Okay.
Fresno 8 at Las Vegas 9It was a wild one in Vegas, as Fresno jumped out to an early 2-0 lead, only to see Vegas storm back for 5 runs over the first 5 innings. Fresno then scored a run in the 6th, followed by a 4-run outburst by the 51s to put this game seemingly out of reach - 9-3 at the time. The very next inning, Fresno hung a 5-spot on the 51s' bullpen, mostly Zach Stewart. But the shut-em-down 8-9 team of Buzzie Bubbachero, er, whatever, and Jeremy Accardo did exactly that, shut-em-down, to preserve the victory.Fabio Castro started and was okay, allowing 3 runs (2 earned) over 5 1/3 on 10 base-runners. The offensive stars were Kevin Howard (4-4, 2 2B), Brian Dopirak (4-5, 2B), and J.P. Arencibia (1-5, HR).Portla...

Lind homers twice, drives in 8
Adam Lind and Rod Barajas each homered twice, with Lind's first career grand slam helping power Toronto to a big early lead before the Blue Jays held on for an 18-10 victory over the slipping Texas Rangers on Monday night.
Paul Byrd Beats Roy Halladay and Other Things I Never Thought I'd Be Typing in 2009
When yesterday's game drew to a close, my first thought (delivered via SG Twitter, where all my ridiculously lame first thoughts go these days) was, "I musta finished that entire PBR keg myself, because I think I just saw Halladay out dueled by Paul Byrd." And it's true. As much as I like to portray myself as a staunch defender of the faith, keeper of the flame...
Blue Jays hold off Rangers: Everything's Bigger in Texas
Under ordinary circumstances, you would think that an 11 run lead would be enough to secure a victory. I learned the hard way that no lead is ever a safe lead, and luckily the Blue Jays held off the Rangers long enough to avoid setting a new record for the largest lead surrendered in club history.Any semblance of a pitcher’s duel was thrown completely out the window in the first...
How Has J.P. Ricciardi Kept His Job for So Long?
Joe Posnanski, in a Sports Illustrated article, questioned, “Here’s my thing about J.P. Ricciardi, the thing that really baffles the heck out of me: How can someone keep giving out contracts THIS BAD and keep his job and reputation? How? I’m serious. How?”
The bewilderment that some people exhibit over Ricciardi’s job status seems to rival how confused some people have...
Rangers Come Back
The Rangers score seven runs off Brett Cecil in the fifth inning to close the gap to 11-7. Unfortunately Texas, if that remains the score, it will still be a crappy night.
Time for the Jays to Jump on J.J. Hardy
As we near the end of the 2009 campaign, one of the big holes that the Blue Jays need to address in the offseason is who's going to play shortstop. Cito Gaston has said that he'd love to have Marco Scutaro back patrolling the middle infield, but unfortunately that's up to J.P. Ricciardi and Paul Beeston.Short of re-signing Scutaro, the Blue Jays will need to explore other options...
Vernon Wells' Homecoming Party
When Vernon Wells returns to his hometown of Arlington Texas tonight, he will enjoy seeing some familiar faces in the stands at Rangers Ballpark.One of those familiar faces will likely be his father, Vernon Wells is the third generation of Vernon’s within his family, so technically he is Vernon Wells III. Wells undoubtedly discovered his love of sports through his father, who dabbled...
Climbing a Hall of Names Hill
In our recent Perry-themed return to the fun and games of the Hall of Names (after an absence of more than four months), the first reader comment, from long-time Bauxite lexomatic, opined, "I was thinking we needed a hall of names team to break things up. I tried coming up with a the Hill's themed one ... but that's a pretty bad team."Gauntlet thrown! Challenge accepted! A hill to...
