BIG BILL MUELLER BLASTS OFF
First of all, Theo made yet another trade meant to bolster the bullpen. We got Scott Williamson from Cincinatti for a minor league lefty, a player to be named later, and cash. Eppy once again improves the pitching on the team. Williamson has 21 saves and can close for us which would move Kim to the rotation and Mendoza back to the pen.
Bill Mueller 14
Texas Rangers 7
W: Wakefield (8-5)
L: Garcia (1-1)
H: Ramirez (1)
BS: Garcia (1)
Wrapup & Box Score
Magic #: 61
Gee, I wonder who the Man of the Game will be? Could it be Wakefield for his Quality Start? Perhaps Nomar for his homer. Or maybe, just maybe Big Bill Mueller will win it with his 3 Homers, 2 of which were Grand Slams. He is the first player EVER to hit a Grand Slam from both sides of the plate in a game. He is also only the 4th player to hit 2 Grand Slams and an additional HR in a game. Of those 4 players, 3 are Red Soxers, the other is a Y*nkee. Anyway here are Mueller's other numbers for the night. He knocked in 9, and scored thrice. He has 54 RBI and 13 HR. In my opinion, he has been the biggest surprise to the team. Not only has he contributed greatly to our offensive powerhouse, his quality play at third allowed us to trade Hillenbrand to Arizona for Kim. His OBP is .403, he's slugging .584, and his average is an impressive .330. Here are the MOTG standings after 42 awarded:
1. Nomar - 5
2. PEDRO, Varitek - 4
4. Mueller, Nixon, Millar - 3
7. Manny, R. Halladay (TOR) - 2
9. Burkett, Lowe, Walker, Kapler, Burkett, Sanchez, Rupe, Lyon, D. Rolls (TB) M. Mussina (NYY), A. Pettitte (NYY) J. Crede (CWS), E. Loiza (CWS), JD Drew (StL), B. Myers (PHI), J. Pierre (FLA) - 1
The Y*nkees made a pair of deals tonight. They traded Raul Mondesi to Arizona for OF David Dellucci, and P Brent Prinz. They also traded P Dan Miccilli to Houston for a player to be named later. The Y*nkees beat Anaheim.
Arsenal beat Besitkas 1-0. Denny Bergkamp got a goal 3 minutes into the second half. I'm told newcomer Jens Lehmann had very little work to do.
This is my last post for a few days. I must go to Buffalo to do family bull shit. I will be back Sunday afternoon/evening. Until then "keep your pecker hard and your powder dry, and the world will turn." Platoon is such a great movie.
