I was prepping to post that this comeback win from an 8-1 deficit cancelled out the putrid Opening Day loss.

However with the Chris Perez "load them up and sweat" 9th, I'm not so inclined. Bad hop and all, he still surrendered a walk and a real hit.


We are 5-4 though, and now in 2nd place.

If the regular season ended tonight, we'd be in the wild card one game playoff.

We're down 4-1 in the top of the 8th as I drive in late.

We have 6 outs to get three runs.

Hagadone appears again and still has an ERA of 0.00


Bartolo Colon threw 31 straight strikes for Oakland in Anaheim tonight. Ray Fosse had a field day and a lot of fun during the streak, declaring it to be the most consecutive strikes he had seen in all his years of baseball.

Correction, I was bouncing in and out while surfing and viewing TV with my wife.

Turns out that Bartolo Colon threw 38 consecutive strikes, still hitting the gun at 92mph at the age of 40.

I got home in time to watch the MLB network cut into that Oakland game. They showed that sequence in about one minute. That was quite an amazing display of pounding the strike zone. They were checking the record books to see if there was such a stat available when I went to bed.
