ALCS Game 7 Complete

It was a fitting end for an unforgettable series between the Spanish Harlem Pinata Beaters and John McDonald Fanclub.  Despite all wishes, someone had to be declared winner, and on this night anyway, it was Spanish Harlem, 5-4.

Fanclub took a 2 run lead into the ninth thanks in part to a Turkey Stearnes rope of a 2-run home run and a 4-hit night form Cupid Childs.  It just wasn't enough though, since game 6 hero Eric Gagne, struggled as much as he was brilliant the night before.

Twenty four hours earlier the closer struck out Wade Boggs, Babe Ruth, and Orater Shaffer without any difficulty to finish the game and send the series to a Game 7.  In an eerily comparable situation this night, he started the bottom of 9th in a similar fashion easily dispatching Ruth for the first out.  After a brutal jinx from yours truly, Gagne gave up 4 consecutive singles to first tie the game, and then lose the game, on a Biz Mackey series ending, world series advancing single.  Mackey, who threw out two Fanclub runners in the 9th and got on base at a .484 clip in the series, was the well deserved hero.

World Series starts tomorrow night at 9 PM.

Division Series Info

Come out and watch game 7 of the ALCS, tonight at 9 PM.  It has been an incredible match-up so far, and very fitting to have a game 7.

On short rest, ace Mort Cooper takes the hill for the "underdog" Fanclub, after a good regular season (13-10, 3.54), the righty has stepped up his game a bit, holding Spanish Harlem to 4 earned runs in 11.1 innings.

He has quite a task ahead of him tonight though, lead by Babe Ruth who has clubbed 3 home runs in the series, the Beaters have 6 lefties in the lineup tonight.

Countering Cooper is #3 starter Teddy Higuera (13-5, 3.45 in the regular season).  "The Mexican" was quite good in his only start of the series, lasting into the 9th yielding just 2 runs on 5 hits, 2 walks, and 7 strikeouts.

Fanclub's lineup has struggled in the series, batting just .252 / .282 / .323.  However, Turkey Stearnes is heating up, hitting in three straight and homering last night.  A hot Stearnes can be the difference maker.

Join us here 9 PM to watch the play by play live.

One great SP would have gone a long way to making this team top 10.  The offense was quite good, but perhaps a starter in Rd 4 instead of Mike Trout (.238 / .330 / .373) would have been a better option.

ALCS Game 5 Complete

In a game much closer than the final 10-2 score indicates, Spanish Harlem wins behind a great start from Garland Braxton and 3  hits each from Buck Leonard and Biz Mackey.

NLCS Game 7 Complete

Islanders win!!

Tim Lincecum turned in a great start, winning 3-1.  All 3 Dharma runs came in the 6th when Goose Goslin, Joe Jackson, and Duke Snider singled; Todd Helton followed with and RBI double and that was all Lincecum needed.

Dharma Moves on to the ATB World Series.  The ALCS is a bit behind with that series knotted at 2-2.

Early LCS Game 6 Complete

Dharma forces game 7 on a Shoeless bomb and a nice start from Bill Swift circa 1935.

20 Resims - # 17 (tied) - Planet 10 Red Lectroids

800 OPS Batters: 

.818 – Larry Walker

I don’t know that Walker is a 1st round pick, but there are very few folks that slug close to .500.

Sub 3.75 ERA Starters

2.93 – Randy Johnson

3.25 – Lefty Grove

Wonderful, and even Lefty gets in on some good seasons. 214 IP and 202 H.

Sub 3.00 ERA Relievers

None

Best Value Draft Pick

Don’t like any in this spot, but wanted to mention Robb Nen in Rd 12 with a 3.22 ERA

Bust Draft Pick

None, but Adrian Beltre was perilously close in Rd 4.  His .709 OPS is acceptable, but not his .289 OBP.
