Bottom 1st
    Joe Carter had a 2 run homer.

Top 3rd
    Guzman strikes out the side.

Bottom 3rd
    Maldonado followed Olerud's run-scoring ground rule double with
a 3-run homer.  LaRussa brings in Parret (sorry about spelling if
its wrong), and got the next batter for the 3rd out.
Jays 6, As 0

Top 4th
    Guzman throws just 5 pitches to retire the As in order, all 3
plays involving the first baseman.  As don't have a hit yet.
    Jays 6, As 0

Bottom 4th
    White leads off with a single, but then is caught stealing
(0 for 4 now).  Alomar gets a hit, then with 2 out, he steals.
Winfield strikes out to end it.

Top 5th
    Steinbach leads off with the first hit (opposite field) off Guzman.
Wilson follows with a single to center.

I think that all this stuff about Eck taunting the Jays is ridiculous. I
think its good for ballplayers to show some emotion when they succeed.
Not excessive taunting now, but a show of happiness. (An Ickey Woods
shuffle or a moonwalk after a successful sac bunt would be atrocious :>)
I mean, when you study the faces of ballplayers during say, the anthem,
they look depressed, bored and almost inhuman. I think its good to

The Braves take game 1 of the NLCS over the Pirates, 5-1.
Smoltz had a no hitter through 4 2/3, and ended up going 8 for the win.
The shutout (and a record 29 inning scroreless streak by the Pirates) was broken up with 
a solo shot by *Jose Lind*. His first of the year.

This is the second post that is missing the point... as someone has already
pointed out, it wasn't the fist pump that upset the Jays (and their fans)
it was the staring down of Sprague and the entire bench... trying to show
them up... as if to say, "There, don't f**king mess with me...". The Jays
bench was EXTREMELY riled up and I think Alomar's reaction to his home run
was pretty restrained considering the "angst" on the Jays bench.

The team OPS by batting order caught my eye in the McWeekly.

Batting first:

Cincinnati .825 (Bip Roberts?)
Boston .573 (!)

Did Boston have Pena leading off?  No wonder they couldn't score any runs.
Every other lineup position had a better OPS for the BoSox.

Batting second:

Los Angeles .838 (Is this a typo?  LA didn't have any players with numbers
like this.)
Philadelphia .634

Batting third:

ChicagoAL .924 (Frank Thomas)
Los Angeles .607 (ouch!)

Batting cleanup:

Pittsburgh .982 (Barry Bonds)
California .545 (69 points lower than their #9 spot)

Batting fifth:

Oakland .870 (Must be McGwire)
Montreal .622

Batting sixth:

St. Louis .781 (their best spot)
Los Angeles .575

Batting seventh:

Detroit .765
Houston .554

Batting eighth:

Baltimore .775 (Second only to leadoff spot -- weird)
Atlanta .529 (Belliard/Lemke platoon)

Batting ninth:

NewYorkAL .686
Kansas City .563

Los Angeles .525
Atlanta .502 (with less pinch hitters than LA, I'll wager)
San Francisco .374

Good hitting pitchers are worth about 100 points of OPS, I guess.

As a pirates fan during my childhood (Stargell, Sanguillen, Stennett, etc.), 
I was watching game 7 and hoping that the pirates could hold on.  
Unfortunately, the game slipped away.  I haven't seen that many pirates 
games live but does Leyland always manage like that? Top of the ninth with 
runner on first, no outs and drabek up next, I'm thinking you have the 
pinch-hit for drabek and try to get at least one more run.  But Drabek
stays in the game and contributes an out to the cause. What is Leyland
thinking about?  
Leyland made a pre-game comment that his approach for this game was exactly 
the same as the previous 168.  IMHO, you've got to pull out all the stops 
to win this game because there may not be a next one.  Maybe he's the reason 
why they can't win in the postseason.

No. You can tag up and leave as soon as the ball is *touched* by any
player. Apparently back in the 1800s some outfielders would
intentionally juggle a fly ball all the way to the infield before
catching it, so they changed the rule. Yet another example of finding

[stories of 'called' home run shots deleted - referring to Alomar's ALCS Game
 4 blast]

Hah! I have you all beat.  Tom Goodwin, center fielder for the ABQ Dukes and
LA Dodgers, had three HRs in about 1300 at bats for his minor league career.

Opening night of 1992, Goodwin came to bat against the Las Vegas Stars.  I
turned to my roommate and said, half in jest, "I feel it.  Goody's going deep."
This elicited a laugh from our party, at least until the next pitch, which is
a deep drive into the gap in left center.  Goodwin is so fast that he was on
his way to third by the time the ball hits the ground.  An easy inside the park
home run.

That's not the best part.

Later in the week, I go to another game with my roommate.  Goodwin gets up to
bat, and Nate and I share a laugh, remembering the "call" of Goodwin's homer the
last time.  "What I wouldn't give to see that again!" says Nate.  Next pitch.
Another drive to the wall, and Goodwin gets his second inside the park HR of the
season.

All this happened, God as my witness.  May Roger Maynard take away my calculator
if I'm trying to pull one over on y'all.

Note: Nate wouldn't go to any more games with me.  Of course, he's a Sky Sox
fan.....

    I think the CBS dummies *said* that Cabrera was the last Braves

    that Cabrera was the next-to-last non-pitcher on the bench and
    that they still had Javier ??? (I forget the surname) left.

Kurt Bose must have misheard the CBS guy's question in the same way that 
Barry Bonds did. In postseason, he was in a slump. Yes, he did get a hit 
yesterday and they did score in one run, but it was quickly a meaningless
inning when the Braves jumped up 13-4.

I did not realize this before, but Bonds isn't exactly a team player. I know 
team spirit is much overrated, but stats aren't the Alpha and Omega either. 
I would bet the ranch that Jim Leyland wished he had Pendleton over Bonds
for the next couple of games. At least, Terry would take the team bus. He 
would also encourage his teammates even if he were in a postseason slump
(which by the way, he ain't).

Am I the only one who thought it was stupid to leave Drabek in to
start the ninth?  (I started swearing when he came to bat in the top
of the inning...  It isn't simply 20-20 hindsight.)  He had a good
game, but he was tiring and allowed a *lot* of baserunners in the
sixth and seventh innings.  The eighth was a breeze, but it was
against weaker hitters.

Of course without Lind's error, the Pirates might still have survived.
But what an ending!  Bream scoring from second on a single!  Who would
believe it? :-)

P.S. Sorry, Sherri, but your fellow fans brought this upon themselves
