DVs vs Sidewinders

From the DeeVee...

DVs take 4 of 5 at home and then Snakes almost pull back to even by going 3-2 in the Snakepit. Total runs for the series were 39 each, Snakes couldn’t capitalize at a few key times in the series, with the DVs hitting more homers (7 to 4). Some highlights:

Game 1 With Starlin Castro watching from the press box, DVs win 8-1 as Cahill gives up a run in the first, but then spins a 2 hitter and the DVs bats carry the load
Game 2 SSWs pound Aaron Cook and lead 10-0 going into the 6th behind Zambrano. The DVs mount a challenge that is only strong enough to attract the attention of the ‘hotties’ sitting behind the dugout, and eventually the Snakes prevail 10-6. Jeremy Hellickson is spotted lurking around the player entrance to the DV locker room.
Game 3 – Halladay and Lester hook up in a nice duel, with the DVs winning 5-3
Game 4- The only extra inning game, Matt Holliday has a walk off walk and the DVs win 4-3
Game 5 – Cahill stays hot and wins 4-1. The series shifts to the Snake Pit:
Game 6 – Snakes get off to a good start behind a complete game by Jimenez as they win 4-3 on a Markakis walk off double that drove in Derek Lee, who had a pinch hit double ahead of him
Game 7- DVs ensure at least a split with a 3-2 win with the bullpen contributing 2 and 2/3 scoreless innings
Game 8 – Danks pitches well and the SSW win 4-3.
Game 9 –The DVs ride a Halladay complete game that notches his 9th win with a 3 hit shutout.
Game 10 – Mike Stanton takes BP with the DV major leaguers before the game, to which Snakes manager is overhead to comment: “Damn”. Zambrano takes charge in the real game however, and the Sidewinders romp 11-1.
