May 28, 2008 Phillies 8, Rockies 1

Everybody gets in on the act as the Phillies tee off against Rockies rookie Greg Reynolds to the tune of 8 runs in 1 2/3 innings as the Phils cruise to the win. All the Phillie scoring would be off Reynolds in the first two innings as the Rockies relief corps holds them in check the remainer of the game. Adam Eaton contributes a good performance for his 5th win of the season, already one more win than he had in real life. Not a very good beginning for the career of Rockies rookie Reynolds. Four starts, a 12.83 ERA, and 7 homeruns allowed (including 2 for the Phils today) in a little more than 18 innings of work. 6 runs allowed in his previous two starts, and 8 today. Three of the runs today were unearned, or else the ERA would be even higher.

May 28, 2008 Red Sox 9, Mariners 1

Maybe the Red Sox should try their hands at poker, because 2's were wild today. Mike Lowell and Manny Ramirez each have 2-run homeruns, Sean Casey and Jacoby Ellsbury each have 2-run doubles, and a solo homerun for David Ortiz adds to the mix. Tim Wakefield goes 8 solid innings for the win, his first win in 3 1/2 weeks.. Even though the Mariners lost and are 12 games below .500, they sit closer to first in their division than the 6 games over .500 Sox do. That's what happens when the AL West leader, the Texas Rangers, has a record of 26-29, 3 games below.500!! Seattle sits 4 1/2 behind them, while the Sox are 6 1/2 behind the Toronto Blue Jays who have the best record in the American League at a sizzling 37-18.

May 27, 2008 Rockies 4, Phillies 1 (10)

A very, very sloppy 10th inning with errors commited by Jimmy Rollins, Tom Gordon and Ryan Howard and a passed ball for Chris Coste lead to 3 unearned runs for the Rockies and another tough loss for the Phils. Sloppy game overall with only one of the 5 runs scored between the teams being earned. Tom Gordon gets the loss despite not allowing an earned run.

At Citizen's Bank Park the Colorado Rockies outscored the Philadelphia
Phillies in 10 innings 4 to 1.
 
The game was deadlocked at 1 after nine full innings.  Colorado ended up
winning it in the 10th inning.  Ian Stewart led off and keyed the rally when
he reached on an error.  Yorvit Torrealba stepped into the batter's box and
he laced a one-base hit.  Omar Quintanilla dug into the batters box next, but
he struck out.  Tom Gordon then tossed a pitch that the catcher mis-handled.
Jeff Baker stepped into the box and was walked intentionally to load the
bases.  Willy Taveras did his part to keep things going and reached on an
error.  After another out, Chris Iannetta came up and he delivered a
base-hit, and an error was also committed.  Garrett Atkins struck out, unable
to help the rally.  Colorado had a total of 8 hits for the game.  
 
The win was credited to Jason Grilli(1-0) who went 2 and 2/3 innings allowing
no runs. Brian Fuentes got the save, his 10th.  Gordon(2-2) ended up with the
loss in relief.  He was pinned with the loss despite not allowing an earned
run in his 1 inning of work.

Jose Vidro jacked one out of the ballyard and had 4 RBI and J.J. Putz
performed beautifully in relief as the Seattle Mariners outscored the Boston
Red Sox 6 to 5.
 
It was a good day for Seattle thanks to Vidro.  He cracked a two-run shot (his
5th of the season) in the 1st inning and doubled bringing in two baserunners
in the 7th inning.  Seattle had 8 hits for the night while Boston had 4.
 
The winning pitcher was Arthur Rhodes(1-0) who allowed no runs in 2/3 of an
inning. Rhodes got help from Putz who was credited with his 4th save.  David
Aardsma(1-3) was the loser in relief.  He pitched 2/3 of an inning and
surrendered 3 hits and 1 walk.
 
The Seattle ballclub's record now stands at 21-32.  With the loss, Boston has
a record of 5-5 lately, 30-25 overall.

May 26, 2008 Rockies 6, Phillies 5

After a 5-2 road trip, the Phillies come back home but twos are wild for the Rockies today for Colorado. Two runs in the 2nd, 3rd and 7th inning negate a Phillie 3-run rally in the bottom of the 7th leaving the Phils a run short on the scoreboard. Jeff Baker for the Rockies and Ryan Howard for the Phils carry the big sticks of the day, with Baker going 2 for 5, a double and homer, and knocking in 3. Howard goes 3 for 4 falling a triple shy of the cycle and knocks in 3 including his NL leading 17th homer of the season.

May 26, 2008 Red Sox 5, Mariners 3

Bartolo Colon gets his first win in a Red Sox uniform when the offense bails him out by turning a 3-2 Seattle lead into a 5-3 Sox lead with a 3-run 7th inning. Colon goes 6, Manny Declarmen goes one inning, and Mike Timlin thanks to a quick 7 pitch 8th inning stays in for the 9th and converts the save for his first save of the year. What doomed the Mariners was taking out Felix Hernandez. He had been smoking right along with 10 strikeouts through 6 and only allowing one earned run, but at almost 100 pitches was replaced by Sean Green in the 7th. Green allows the three Sox runs and gets the loss.

May 25, 2008 Astros 5, Phillies 4

Nowhere near as close as the score indicates as the Astros, specifically starter Chris Sampson, had the Phillies in check all game. Sampson retired the first 18 consecutive Phillies with a perfect game through the first 6 innings until Jimmy Rollins doubles to lead off the 7th. Rollins would score on a sac fly, but Houston already had a 5-0 lead at that point. The Phillies make it interesting in the top of the 9th when Chase Utley rips a 3-run homerun with two out off of Jose Velarde (in a non-save situation), but Velarde strikes out Ryan Howard to end the game.

WEB GEMS- Top 1st: Ty Wigginton robbed Shane Victorino of a base hit.
 
Chris Sampson took a no-hitter into the 7th inning and Miguel Tejada went yard
and had 3 RBI as the Houston Astros topped the Philadelphia Phillies by a
score of 5 to 4 at Minute Maid Park.
 
Sampson(5-2) was virtually untouchable.  He was stingy on the mound, allowing
just 1 hit and no walks in 8 innings reducing his ERA from 3.14 to 2.87.  The
right-handed Sampson had his no-hit bid broken up by Jimmy Rollins who
doubled with nobody out in the 7th inning.  Philadelphia had a chance in the
9th but they came up short.  
 
Cole Hamels(3-4) was given the loss.  'You have to give Philadelphia credit,
they fought us tough to the end' Cecil Cooper said.  'It could have gone
either way, but I'm glad we pulled out the victory.'
