Matt Palmer Gets the W in 16 Inning Angels Win
Final Score in Anaheim in 16 Innings: Indians 3, Angels 4 Torii Hunter scored on a sacrifice fly by Jeff Mathis in the bottom of the 16th inning to make a winner out of a deserving Matt Palmer whose return to the team from an extended rehab from the disabled list. If you like extra inning games,...
Lou Piniella Loses Game For Cubs; Marlins' 6-Run 10th Inning Makes Final Score 8-2
Jessica and I agreed: this one was on Lou. And it's not just because of one decision made in the 9th inning, either, but let's start there. If Aramis Ramirez is not going to be put on the DL, as they decided late this afternoon, then he has to be at the plate with two out in the ninth inning...
Konerko Delivers KO in 15th
In July of 2003, benched and mired in a 0-15 slump, Paul Konerko was called upon as a pinch hitter with lefty Eddie Guardado on the mound in extra innings. Konerko saw only one pitch, tying the game which Frank Thomas would end two innings later. Konerko entered that game with a batting line of...

One batter, two pitchers, two mistakes. A's and Rays going into extra innings at 2-2, after Wigginton hits his second HR of the night, off of Street leading off the 9th to tie it. If only the A's could put enough men on in the 10th to get to Kendall ...
The Big Picture
Well, after a loss like this, it's tempting to look for easily identified, "personal" narratives: Giambi once again returning to torment the A's, A-Rod and his continued hot streak (or, alternately, Huston Street and his continued dominance of A-Rod), Crosby's continued shaky D, the Geren Blowing...
I KNEW I loved iN Demand!
MLB is not done with cable...yet Baseball's "Extra Innings" package of out-of-market games might wind up staying on cable television. IN Demand said Wednesday it will offer to match the terms of DirecTV's $700 million, seven-year deal with Major League Baseball on behalf of its owners, who are...
