There is no game tonight as it’s a travel day with the World Series resuming on Friday night in Houston. Last night there was some game at Chavez Ravine. The Astros had an early 1-0 lead but homers by Joc Pederson and Corey Seager put the Dodgers up 3-1. The Dodgers dominant bullpen looked like they had the game locked up until a huge solo homer by Marwin Gonzalez off Kenley Jansen tied it...

Even with a splendid seat ten rows from the first baseline, the twenty-six dollars I paid was not worth the price of admission having to suffer through a poor outing by a Mets pitcher in person. A day after the wheels came off of Mets starter Zack Wheeler, it was déjà vu all over again when fellow righty Robert Gsellman was equally ineffective against the Los Angeles Dodgers. The LA native,...
On a foggy night in Flushing, Queens, a misplayed routine infield pop-up may have crushed the dream of a rookie pitcher’s win in his MLB starting debut, but the consequences could have been far more damaging if not for the clutch bat of the new and improved Jay Bruce. With the Mets leading 4-1 in the top of the seventh, Jerry Blevins came in to mop up the bases loaded mess Fernando Salas...
WEEK IN REVIEW The Las Vegas 51s (15-19, fourth in the Pacific Coast League Pacific Southern division), who went 2-4 this week, suffered from Blake Beavan’s performance on Saturday, when he allowed ten runs in his organizational debut. Don’t blame Desmond Jennings, though, as the veteran hit .440 with a home run over the period. The Binghamton Rumble Ponies (18-12, first in the...
