Por seguir con las clases, se dice concluida en lugar de conclusa
A ver si hoy cambia la suerte
Pausa conclusa es en italiano.
After last anonymous' comment (in the yesterday's post) I decided to eliminate the possibility to comment as anonymous.
I'm sorry for everyone who commented or want to comment as anonymous in a correct and educated way, but I think is better that anyone take the responsability, with a name, of what he or she says.
Moreover, I'm seriously thinking to close definetely this blog, because this should be only a way to share something between people, but if it become a way to create rancor or hate, or a place to let talk idiots, I don't like it anymore.
Esto ya me gusta más, veo que la pausa ha sido corta y espero que fructífera, esta noche tiene que ser tuya.
Cincinnati Reds vs Philadelphia Phillies 2-12
Believe Brett Myers when he says that he doesn't think about his spectacular string of starts this season. In fact, he doesn't think about anything, especially on the mound during the game. "I didn't even know the [opposing] lineup until I got finished warming up in the bullpen," he said after his latest masterpiece, a 12-2 win over the Reds on Friday. "That's good for me. The less I think about it, the better I'm going to be." Sounds like the greatest fictional pitching prospect of all time: the Durham Bulls' Ebby Calvin "Nuke" LaLoosh. Often told by catcher Crash Davis, "Don't think, it can only hurt the ball club," Myers now embodies the character, clearing his mind of all outside distractions. "The more I think, the more I'll get myself in trouble," Myers said. "I think about stuff in the sky, I don't know. [Todd Pratt] calls me Nuke all the time. He's called me that for a couple of years. That's something that's very true about the game. If you think too much and get caught up, you could get screwed up when he sneaks a heater by you." Myers has pitched his way into the stratosphere of elite hurlers this season, trailing Dontrelle Willis and Roger Clemens on the list of the National League ERA leaders. The right-hander readily admits that he thought too much during last season's learning season, and his success comes from returning to the simpler, aggressive approach that allowed him to soar through the Minors. Something clicked. "He's the best pitcher in baseball right now," said Pratt. "He's one of the best I've ever caught. He's that dominating right now. This is how dominating he is: I can call any pitch. He can do whatever he wants out there." Armed with his deadly cutter -- giving him a valuable fourth pitch to add to his repertoire -- Myers' domination continued, as he breezed through seven innings. He didn't allow a hit until the fourth and didn't surrender a run until the seventh. The two runs he allowed caused his ERA to "balloon" to 1.63. Other than a sacrifice fly by Austin Kearns and an RBI single by Jason LaRue, all the offense was left to the Phillies, who pelted old friend Eric Milton for eight runs in 4 1/3 innings. "I've never struggled this badly before, and it's a grind," said Milton, whose 14 home runs allowed leads the Majors. "I'm proud of myself and I hold my head up, but nothing went my way tonight." The Phillies were very happy to see Milton, as he contributed to Philadelphia's second-highest offensive output of the season. These are the kinds of wins that have eluded the team during their most disappointing stretch, the ones where the offense produces and the pitching dominates.
A special thanks is owed to Mike Lieberthal, whose unavailability afforded Pratt the opportunity to have a huge night. His five RBIs and four hits both tied career highs. Bobby Abreu just missed setting a franchise record when he smacked a double to the right of the 398-foot sign in right-center field. A few feet to the left and the ball would have cleared a shorter fence and landed in the Phillies' bullpen and given him homers in six straight games. "I hit it pretty good, but it was a line drive," Abreu said. "I thought it had a chance, but it was short." That was the only thing that didn't go well for the Phillies. In the fourth, Milton remembered why Citizens Bank Park wasn't the friendliest place for pitchers. The lefty, who led the Majors in homers allowed last season with 43 (a tie with Jamie Moyer), is defending his title so far this season. Pratt deposited a Milton offering into the flower bed just over the Bud Light sign in left field. Adam Dunn nearly brought the ball back, but it went off his glove, and third base umpire Mike DiMuro signaled home run. Tomas Perez added a three-run double and Jimmy Rollins stroked a two-run double. "We needed to score some runs and get going and prove that we can do it," said manager Charlie Manuel. "That what makes your team come together, when guys on the bench can play a role at times."
Texas Rangers vs Minnesota Twins 9-6
The Twins-Rangers series opener could have originally been re-dubbed "Friday the 13th: Rincon's Return." By the end of Minnesota's 9-6 loss to Texas in 11 innings, the title should have been switched to "Friday the 13th: The Metrodome's Revenge." "Too many crazy things happened out there," Twins manager Ron Gardenhire said. A low-trajectory fly ball to right field by the Rangers' Chad Allen off Joe Nathan was lost in the lights and white roof by outfielder Jacque Jones. After Jones misplayed the ball, it skipped past him to the wall for an RBI double that scored Richard Hidalgo with the go-ahead run. "It was just in and out, in and out," Jones said. "Then once it started getting low, I just couldn't see it." "What are you going to do? That's the Metrodome," shrugged Gardenhire, whose team has lost two in a row to fall six games behind the AL Central-leading White Sox. With runners on second and third and two outs in the 11th, Mark Teixeira smoked a ball off Nathan's right calf. It ricocheted to shortstop Nick Punto, who made a spectacular stop. But Punto's throw pulled Justin Morneau off first base, allowing two more runs to score. Nathan had already earned hazard pay in the inning when leadoff batter Laynce Nix hit a sharp one-hopper to the mound. The pitcher reflexively managed a barehanded stop before he threw to first base for the out. Fearing Nathan (1-1) was hurt, Gardenhire and head trainer Rick McWane examined the pitcher (1-1) before he was cleared to continue. "I must have been a target," Nathan said. But after the second incident of contact with hard-hit baseballs, Gardenhire lifted Nathan. "You knew it was time to get him out of there," Gardenhire said. Nathan allowed three runs and five hits in the game. "I wasn't hit hard at all," Nathan said. "I felt like I threw the ball where I wanted to. [Jones] just lost the ball in the lights. I would have been out with no runs. We might be celebrating right now, as a matter of fact." The Twins hoped to celebrate the return of reliever Juan Rincon, but Texas worked from a different script. Rincon, who was freshly reinstated from his 10-day suspension for violating the league's rules on performance-enhancing drugs, entered in his familiar eighth-inning role as the Twins held a 6-5 lead. After Rincon fired two strikes to Michael Young, the leadoff batter sent a ball inside the line in right field. The hit pinballed around the corner and went for a triple. Young easily scored the tying run on Teixeira's soft single to right field. Rincon gave up three hits and hit a batter in 1 1/3 innings. As Gardenhire walked out to replace the pitcher with J.C. Romero in the ninth, one of Romero's warmup pitches escaped the bullpen and struck the manager. "I pointed to the bullpen to bring a pitcher in and I got hit with the ball," Gardenhire said. "I almost turned around and went back saying, 'He must not be ready.'" The Twins seemed more than ready for Saturday the 14th. They took a 6-2 lead after four innings, but after the fourth inning, were unable to get a runner past first base until the 10th. The advantage narrowed on starter Joe Mays in the seventh when Hidalgo's drive to center field kissed off a leaping Torii Hunter's glove above the fence for a two-run homer that made it a one-run game. "If Torii catches the ball out there ... it's a whole different ballgame," Mays said. "I think nine times out of 10, he catches that ball." "Some bad breaks tonight," Nathan said. "I blame Friday the 13th. That's why you play the game. It's not going to be perfect every time."
Hola setec.
