Tweakers 4, SuperGoofs 0

Tweakers seem to have the Goofs’ number this year, at least at the Hooverdome.  CM games with expanded rosters:
9/5 – Tweakers 2, Goofs 1.  Kuma was always pitching his way out of trouble but managed to hang on for the win.  Ryu was sharp, but took the loss.  4 Tweakers relievers face 4 batters in the 9th, with Dane de la Rosa nailing down the save.
9/6 – Tweakers 5, Goofs 2.  Goofs get 2 in the 1st, including a Frandsen HR, but would score no more.  2 doubles, a HR, and 3 RBI for Wilin Rosario.  W – Gio, L – Griffin, S – Scheppers.
9/7 #1 – Tweakers 3, Goofs 1.  Shane Victorino had 2 base hits as the NORM TWEAKERS defeated the struggling
PHIL -SG SUPER GOOFS by a score of 3 to 1 at The Hooverdome.

NORM claimed the early lead in the first inning scoring 2 runs using 3 hits.
Victorino led off the inning for NORM when he was hit by a pitch.  Victorino
took his lead and swiped second.  David Lough struck out, unable to help the
rally.  Ben Zobrist followed next and he lined a one-base hit.  Adam Lind
came up to bat and doubled.  Pablo Sandoval kept things alive and stroked a
base-hit.  That early run support was enough for Shelby Miller(7-8) and NORM.
PHIL -SG made it exciting in the 9th, but they were unable to push the
needed runs across. 

Miller got help from Luis Avilan who was credited with his 10th save.  Yu
Darvish(0-2) ended up with the CG loss.  He allowed 10 hits and 4 walks in 8
innings. 

George Brett was in a talkative mood in the clubhouse, 'Great game! If only we
could win all of the close ones - wouldn't that be nice! Since that's not
going to happen, I think I'll savor this one for a little while.'

9/7 #2 – Tweakers 8, Goofs 0.  In the nightcap, Tweakers would score in only one inning, but it was a big crooked number.  Carlos Torres shut us down through 6, but when he got into trouble in the 7th the bullpen hoses were filled with kerosene.  3-run HR for Venable, Zobrist 2 for 4 with a triple and 2 RBI.  Felix allowed nothing, but had to leave before the rally, so Avilan picked up the win in relief.  Tweakers complete the sweep, taking all 7 games this season at home against the Goofs.
