Phils win 10th straight on Werth's walk-off

Jayson Werth hit a three-run home run in the bottom of the 13th inning Tuesday night to lift the Phillies to their 10th straight victory, a 4-1 win over the Cubs at Citizens Bank Park.

[...] This current stretch is tough to beat. The Phillies have won 14 of their past 15 games since they lost to the Braves on July 2. They lead the Majors with 95 runs and a 2.15 ERA in that span. The club's starters are 10-0 with a 2.34 ERA. Opponents have hit just .206 against them. The bullpen is 4-1 with six saves, nine holds and a 1.77 ERA. Opponents have hit just .179 against Philadelphia's relief corps. [...]

Grats.

Ich denke der Umpire ist schuld.

Same ump called both Buehrle no-nos[/url]]Cooper was calling the shots behind the plate at U.S. Cellular Field for Buehrle's perfect game on Thursday against the Rays. In a strange coincidence, Cooper was the home-plate umpire when Buehrle tossed his first no-hitter back on April 18, 2007, against the Rangers, also at The Cell.

Rangers getting past flu outbreak

Vicente Padilla's workout on Saturday was just one piece of evidence showing the Rangers are getting their flu outbreak under control.

[...]A number of Rangers players have been dealing with the flu all week, but so far Padilla is the only one who has tested positive for H1N1 Type A influenza, commonly known as swine flu. The Rangers are still waiting on tests on other players, but for the most part, the club is hoping they are on the downhill slope of the problem.[...]

Aaron: PED users can be Hall candidates

Hank Aaron, who was baseball's all-time home run king until Barry Bonds passed him in 2007, thinks that players linked to performance-enhancing drugs shouldn't necessarily be excluded from the Hall of Fame.

However, Aaron does think that those players should have an asterisk next to their career numbers.

"The thing is, do you put these guys in, or do you put an asterisk beside their names and say, 'Hey, they did it, but here's why?'" Aaron told several reporters in an informal interview session at the Otsego Hotel on Saturday. "To be safe, that's the only way I see that you can do it."

Ein Hall of Famer mit Sternchen? So ein Blödsinn. :-o

Yanks complete outstanding homestand

Derek Jeter's two-run single in the bottom of the sixth inning helped the Yankees finish their winning homestand on a high note, posting a 7-5 victory over the Athletics on Sunday.

[...]As the Yankees wrapped up their best homestand of the season on Sunday, outslugging the A's, 7-5, Jeter had plenty to appreciate about the state of his team. New York won nine out of 10 games coming out of the All-Star break, picking up 5 1/2 games on Boston in the American League East in the process. [...]

Auf das es spannend bleibt.

Thompson's suspension pleases Wright

David Wright avoids awkward and controversial situations whenever possible. In the sixth inning of Wednesday's 9-0 Mets win over the Cardinals, he had to avoid something else -- a fastball from pitcher Brad Thompson that would have struck him in the head had he not ducked. And when Thompson was suspended and fined by Major League Baseball on Thursday, Wright didn't avoid the topic.

"Obviously, when you do something that isn't right, you should be punished for it," Wright said on Thursday. The punishment was a three-day suspension and a fine, the amount not announced.

Brauch Thompson sich nicht zu wundern, bei der Aktion.:-o

Ole, ne drei-Tage Sperre für nen Pitcher. Auf gut deutsch: keine wirkliche Strafe.

Ich finde Pitcher sollten immer Strafen in Wochenhöhe erhalten, sonst bringt dsa garnix. Das wäre, als würdest du nen NFL Spieler für 3 Kalendertage sperren, von Dienstag bis Donnerstag.

Schöne Schlussworte von A-Rod:

"Most of all, it's exhausting," Rodriguez said. "I think we were so excited that the ball went over the fence, not just because we won, but because we had a chance to go home and get some sleep."
