Deja 2004
This is what I envisioned happening a heckuva lot more often this year. A fantastic pitching effort from Gil Meche, great defensive plays behind him like Boonie's snag, and a key 2-run home run from Raul Ibanez for a September 2-0 shutout with playoff implications.
Gil Meche has turned the corner. Here are his last 8 starts
6 IP, 9 H, 2 ER, 7/1 K/BB
8 IP, 2 H, 2 ER, 7/2 K/BB
7 IP, 7 H, 2 ER ,3/0 K/BB
6.2 IP, 9 H, 3 ER, 4/0 K/BB
6 IP, 6 H, 4 ER, 4/2 K/BB
5.1 IP, 4 H, 2 ER, 1/3 K/BB
7 IP, 4 H, 4 ER, 8/0 K/BB
9 IP, 5 H, 0 ER, 4/1 K/BB
A nice round 3.11 ERA over the last 9 starts with 38 strikeouts and 9 walks and 46 hits in 55 innings. Veerrrryy nice. This is why Gil Meche is going to be with the Mariners in 2005, and it will be the right decision.
Now, we return to our candlelight vigil for the health of Shaun Alexander. Go Hawks!
Today's picks:
Forget the favorites, lets go for some underdogs.
Mets (Seo) +200 over Braves(Wright)
Pirates(Brooks) +240 over Cubs(Maddux)
Mariners(Baek) +220 over Angels(Escobar)
Rangers(Dominguez) +205 over Athletics(Hudson)
oh yeah, and Joe Kennedy away from Coors against the anemic DBacks offense...
Rockies(Kennedy) -155 over DBacks(Fossum)
Money to date: $-473 (picking dog/favorite = +1157/-1630, 34-45, 26-27) - This is what I get for picking favorites. Another 2-2, and lose another $110. Back to the underdogs!
