SazPare Augustine drives in the second and third runs of a four-run Pittsburgh fifth inning, plating Satchel Paige and Cool Papa Bell with a single. Bob Gibson's day was going well until the fifth inning when he allowed four Pittsburgh runs on four hits in a 34 pitch frame. Gibson would go 6.2 innings on the day, allowing four runs on six hits while striking out six, before being lifted after throwing 110 pitches. Bobby Tolan came in as a pinch-runner in the eighth inning and allowed his team to continue their rally attempt by breaking up a double play at second base. The Cardinals would plate two runs before Tim McCarver came up with a chance to give the Cardinals a lead. McCarver couldn't talk himself out of this one, striking out while representing the go-ahead run to end the eighth inning. McCarver was available for comment after the game, but no cared to listen.

Lou Boudreau finally broke the 1-1 tie in the bottom of the eighth inning with a two run shot off Duane Ward.

sfgiantsflgators Posted December 4, 2006 Author Share Posted December 4, 2006 Detroit/New York Postponed Six innings were played today between the Tigers and Yankees; but when heavy rains and gusting winds moved in during the top of the seventh, there was no choice but to call the game. According to Rule 4.12: Any regulation game called due to weather with the score tied (unless situation outlined in 4.12 (a) (5) (i) prevails) is a tie game and must be replayed in its entirety. Since the visiting team had not scored in the top of the seventh when the game was called [4.12 (a) (5) (i)], the game has been ruled as such and will be replayed at the earliest possible instance. Stay tuned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sfgiantsflgators Posted December 4, 2006 Author Share Posted December 4, 2006 Pool 3, Round 2 Rain Comes Again, But Yanks Paddle Away With 1-0 Victory For the second straight time, Detroit and New York faced off with ominous clouds overhead, threaten- ing to burst at any given moment. Today, in some aspect, the baseball gods made a compromise. In their first matchup, the teams remained tied 1-1 into the seventh inning before an eclectic mix of drenching precipitation and booming thunder crashed from the heavens, forcing the game to be post- poned. Today, the rain would come again, reappearing in the seventh inning; but this time, with the Yankees up 1-0, the game was official. Both pitchers were on their game, going back and forth before New York struck in the third for a 1-0 lead. Fidrych allowed just two hits in 6.1 innings while striking out 11. Clemens allowed six hits and struck out four, but his clutch pitching with runners threatening proved to be the difference. Scott Brosius robs Willie Horton of a hit in the second inning. Rusty Staub slides into second with a double in the top of the third inning. Staub, and teammate Gary Sutherland, would be left stranded when Roger Clemens forced Willie Horton to ground out to second to end the threat. Chuck Knoblauch lines a double down the left field line, scoring Scott Brosius for the only run of the game. Jorge Posada becomes the eighth strikeout victim for Mark Fidrych, going down with the swinging variety in the fifth inning.

Pete Rose drives in the first run of the game with a single in the third inning, scoring Cesar Geronimo from second. Johnny Bench scores on a Dave Concepcion sacrifice fly in the fourth inning, giving Cincinnati a 2-0 lead. Tim Laudner shoots a double down the right field line, scoring Gary Gaetti for the first Twins run of the game. Laudner would later score on a sacrifice fly by Greg Gagne, capping off a three run Twins inning for a 3-2 Minnesota lead. Joe Morgan comes through in the seventh inning, giving Cincinnati a 5-3 lead with a three run home run to right. Gary Gaetti is out at second on the front end of a 3-6-3 double play to end the game.

sfgiantsflgators Posted December 6, 2006 Author Share Posted December 6, 2006 Pool 3, Round 2 Berry's Four RBI Day Helps Propel Expos Into Round 3 With 7-2 Victory Moises Alou doubles down the first base line in the first inning. He would later score on a single by Larry Walker. Lefty Grove helps his own cause, singling home Jimmie Dykes in the second inning to give Philadelphia a 2-1 lead. One single wouldn't cancel out Grove's own performance in the field though, as Lefty gave up seven runs (five earned) on the day. The two unearned runs would come as a result of his own error, how- ever. When Mike Lansing hit a dribbler back to Grove, the A's hurler overthrew first baseman Jimmie Foxx, allowing Lansing to reach second and Marquis Grissom to advance to third. It would appear that Grove would get out of the inning unscathed as he got Moises Alou to pop out foul to first and sent Larry Walker back to the dugout with a strikeout. With two outs however, Sean Berry singled up the middle, scoring both Grissom and Lansing and giving Montreal a 4-2 lead. For good measure, Sean Berry added two more runs to the Expos total with a home run in the fifth, giving Montreal a 7-2 lead that they would not relinquish. Scoring B1: Walker single scores Alou T2: Hale single scores Cochrane; Grove single scores Dykes B2: Fletcher single scores Lansing B3: Berry single scores Grissom, Lansing B5: Alou single scores Grissom; Berry two run HR W - Martinez L - Grove Players of the Game: Sean Berry 3-4, HR, 4 RBI Moises Alou 2-5, 2B, RBI For Boxscore, click here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sfgiantsflgators Posted December 8, 2006 Author Share Posted December 8, 2006 Well, looks like there's going to be a delay yet again - every time a pitch is put into play in this game it freezes...doesn't matter who the hitter is. I'm too fed up to try a different park right now, so if I feel like it later, we'll see what happens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sfgiantsflgators Posted December 9, 2006 Author Share Posted December 9, 2006 Well, looks like the only way to fix it is to try a reinstall. But I have no idea where the cd case is, and therefore, no idea where the cd key is. In order for EA to send me a replacement key, EA wants $10 and for me to mail them one of the discs as proof of ownership; so until I decide it's time to go that route, this is dead in the water...
