Games

The Sidewinders and Tweeners split four games.

From the Snakeman...
Peavy shut the Tweeners down in game 1 by a score of 5-1. Snakes won a slugfest in
game 2 8-7. The last two games were chinese water torture- The tweeners won
both one run games in extra innings. We have played an identical number of
games(123) and are out of range for demerits for this month.


In a rarity, the Warpigs won a game from the Wahoos, keeping the Wahoos from moving into a first place tie with the Rhinos. The Pigs came back from a 4-0 deficit to win the road game 7-4.

The Wahoo scored one in the 1st and three more in the 4th; and, with Cole Hamels coasting along with a 1-hitter, seemed to be in control. But a 2-out Delmon Young single in the 5th got the Pigs on the board. And when Albert Pujols homered to lead off the 6th, the Pigs were within two. Mark Ellis doubled and Kelly Johnson walked, chasing Hamels. Justin Speier came in and got pinch-hitter Wilson Betemit to bounce into a double play, but Ryan Church followed with a 2-run homer to tie the game.

That led to the Pigman bringing in Joba Chamberlain. Joba pitched four scoreless innings, and when Kelly Johnson wrapped a 3-run, 2-out Jon Rauch pitch around the right field foul pole in the 7th inning, the Pigs had their rare win.

Said Wahoo manager Garth Iorg, "I really only played this game today because it was going to be a gimme win and a tie for first place. This loss really sucks, and I'm not even sure it counts. I mean, come on... Ryan Church? Kelly Johnson?!? Be serious. Those aren't real baseball players. I mean, hell, Kelly is a friggin GIRL'S name, for Chrissake! And pitching Joba Chamberlain FOUR innings? WTF?!? That's just not right. We're appealing this game based on the fact that... well... that it just isn't fair!"
