Something in common with game 28 and 29? There was some good pitching. As Hudson fell to 3-1 last night, Maine, who two nights ago went to 5-0, proved he is the best pitcher right now in the National League.
The Baltimore Sun ran a special artical today called the Shelton Scale. Rating 1-10, 10 being most like Shelton, about players with great Aprils fizzing out. Maine got a 5, Arod got a 1, Sammy Sosa got a 9.
From last nights game, i realized one of the reasons why i like Green, his home run swing is so off balence, but it works. its fun to watch.
Anyway, here is some Injury news, The setup man in Detroit, Zumaya, who throws some serious heat, dislocated his middle finger warming up yesterday. Cody Ross of the Marlins, injured his hammy running around the bases after a homer. Chris Carpenter out for 3 months due to surgery. Orioles pitcher Adam Lowen out at least 8 weaks due to a stress fracture.
Here are some numbers:
JJ Hardy, of the first place Brew Crew, has queitly hit 8 homers this year so far.
Mag Ordonez of the Tigers, has hit 5 homers so far. All five of his homers have tied the game., (Can you say clutch?)
Hunter Pence, highly touted prospect of the Astros, hit his first ML homer last night, it was a grandslam
