Three game-winning homers, though.

4 in the LCS, 1 in the WS.

3 HRs (Games 4,5 of the LCS and Game 1 of the WS)

Sandy Koufax made the start in game five of the 1965 World Series with the series tied 2-2. Jim Kaat started for the Twins.

The Dodger offense scored early and often. Two runs in the 1st and two more in the 3rd staked Sandy to a 4-0 lead.

Sandy was perfect through four. The first Twins baserunner of the day, Harmon Killebrew, reached on a single in the 5th, but he was erased on a doubleplay.

The Twins only serious scoring threat came in the 9th. Frank Quilici and Sandy Valdespino hit back to back singles to put runners at first and second. Sandy struck out Zolio Versalles and then the Dodgers turned a doubleplay on Joe Nossek's line drive to Maury Wills to end the game.

Sandy struck out 10, walked 1, and allowed 4 hits in his complete game 7-0 victory.

Thanks to retrosheet.

Thats for sure

i dont even know how i wrote that.

Obviously, ABC has all of them. But if someone was taping them at home, they would have had to have done some scrambling. They all started at odd times. I think Game 3 may have had its start delayed. Regardless, it took 3:44 to play.

The only game you really need to see is Game 4. That game was extraordinarily nerve-wracking to watch. It's fun now in retrospect. But it was agony to watch.

With bad results for the cardinal.

That's the Gigantes site, the main story is on Beltran Perez (and has a nice picture of him. I have no idea what the article says, as I don't know Spanish). There's a picture of Duaner in a Gigantes hat towards the bottom

And I think that's the wrong Beltran Perez. Someone who could read the article may be able to tell for sure

That is the question from above.

SAN FRANCISCO OF MACORIS.- The right launcher Beltrán Pérez declared to be prepared to take the role of opener of the Giants of the Cibao in the next season of the Dominican winter baseball planned to be initiated October 19. Pérez stood out that this year has arrived in you optimize conditions to the training of the Dominican winter ball. " I Am in fullness of conditions I stop to carry out my work and in favor of the team'' affirmed Pérez.

It said that this year the joint cibaeño has a great depth in the pitcheo respected one of the better of the league. " We Have a large quantity of launchers with arms in excellent conditions that will be of a lot of aid in the next season''.

"With us one must count always they have underestimated us and your you can observe that in the three last years we have classified to the following round" affirmed. Reseño that in it passed season of the baseball in the United States juice with the team of Saw Beach branch office class of the Dodgers of los Angeles where I compile three triumphs and two failures and an effectiveness 3.78.

Of its side in the double classification TO with participated with the team Jacksonville averaging two triumphs and three reverses and effectiveness of 2.90, with a play saved, launched 31 entrances permitting 22 hits, with 11 careers, 16 bases by balls and 32 punches.

"I am a launcher with more experiences than in passed season I am prepared to carry out my work and to come out with the positive mind in each party of the tournament" emphasized Pérez.

And that's an impressive 32 punches for "Jacksonville" (actually Vero). Looks like he can be the successor to Brown and Carlos Perez

And I fully endorse changing the name to launchers

"The game was tied until Fisk launched his foul-line-hugging home run."

"Mantle launched a tremendous 565-foot home run in Griffith Stadium yesterday."

"Stargell launched the first home run completely out of Dodger Stadium."

Righthanded pitcher Beltran Perez said he is preparing to take over the role of starter for the Cibao Giants for the next Dominican winter baseball league, slated to start October 19. Perez has stood out as he arrived in top training condition for winter ball. "I am in great condition to do my job and help out the team," Perez affirmed.

He said that this year the Cibaeno team has a surplus in the pitching area and is considered one of the best in the league. "We have a lot of pitchers with arms in excellent condition that will be much help in the coming season."

"With us we are always underestimated and you can see that in three seasons we have made it to the next round," Perez said. Looking back to the past season in U.S. baseball, he played with Vero Beach, a minor league team for the Los Angeles Dodgers where he compiled a 3-2 record and a 3.78 ERA.

From his time in AA, he played with the Jacksonville team picking up 3 wins and 2 losses and an ERA of 2.90 with one save. He threw 31 innings allowing 21 hits with 11 runs, 16 walks and 32 strikeouts.

"I am a pitcher with more experience that in the last season prepared me to do my job and leave with a positive frame of mind for each game of this tournament," Perez emphasized.

Don Daglow and Eddie Dombrower are baseball simulation game designers whose sabermetrics-based games have introduced "new statistics" to expanded audiences. They are best known for Intellivision World Series Baseball (1983) and Earl Weaver Baseball (1987). Daglow also designed Baseball (1971), Tony La Russa Baseball (1991) and Old Time Baseball (1995).

I've been wanting EA to have a sabermetrically inclined baseball game but it doesnt look like that will ever happen. Has anyone played the Tony La Russa Baseball games and can you give me any insight on them?

Why am I cursed with following such a team?

[bangs head against table repeatedly]

His listed birthday in the U.S. is October 21, 1981. So which one is it?

Might be a typo there. I wonder why all the players wear #7.

The last game in the series made a disastrous switch to 3D, and that was the last we heard of it.

The best baseball game ever still is High Heat 2000, which had the advantage of being the only game I've ever played where you can actually work the count and walk people unintentionelly, while not having the soul crushing bugs the later versions did.

Unless the 21-0 deficit in the first quarter is part of some sort of plan.

I'm sorry....

This might not be the big day for the Pac-10....

Delenda est South Bend.

However, it's not like this performance is all that unusual or unexpected based on recent seasons for UCLA.

Well, then there's the matter of the USC players being a whole lot more talented.

Murice Drew leads the nation in punt return yardage. Who is the only Bruin to lead the nation in punt return yardage for an entire season?

Answer has a Dodger connection.

Aww, that's a gimme.

Santana not looking so good

Do they now put all their resources into signing him?

I think it varies by school and sport and level of competition.

Northwestern and Vanderbilt are not exactly athletic powerhouses.

So in a sense, Jackie's basketball number has been retired because in college basketball you can't have a digit larger than 5.

They irritated me so much, they made me root for USC in that game.

You would think fans of a school that hardly ever won wouldn't walk around with the amount of arrogance they did. You couldn't get them to say hello. They just kept to themselves, except when they were complaining about how much they didn't like the Rose Bowl facility.

Back to Evanston with all of you!

No more runs came in

That was a very productive decade for Chicago sports teams!

Cabrera just sends a throw par avion.

If I were an Angel fan I really would be upset with Finley

If anybody here is looking for another sport to follow, I HIGHLY suggest women's volleyball. Not only is one of the 3 teams ahead of us our near you guys, but one of our girls totally spiked one into the Gatorade jug and knocked over all of the full cups on top of it. This was about two seats over from where I was. Awesome. 8-)

What time should people stop by?

Santana - 67
Garcia - 35

I'm afraid the lack of Dodgers baseball has made me overly anxious to learn what the 2006 coaching staff will be

We take our women's volleyball very seriously out here.

107- Yes it is.

You just want a UCLA guy as manager. :-)

So Pierzynski cost the Angels on another controversial play, and then hit a home run. My Plaschke imitation from yesterday might come true after all.

There have been two from USC: Marcel and Rene Lachemann.

None from Cal.

Stanford has had one: Bob Boone.

Speaking of technology, how's the Prius working out for you?

And the USC-ND game was a pure classic. I have no dog in the fight, it was just good college football.

And you'll be thrilled that I happened to drive by Coach K's house today, and there was the man himself getting out of his black BMW. He scowled at me as I drove by.

The Prius is very nice (it's not part of the recall, those were older ones). I have a little over 200 miles on it. The onboard computer says its gettings around 43-44 mpg.

Baseball-reference has a link to where players went to college.

"We'll defer."

"That's not one of the choices."

109 - Link, I wish they did that here! I am thinking I made the right choice in going to the PSU women's vball match instead of watching the end of our football game. Ugh.

128 - Unfortunately, I use dial-up, so I can't tap into a lot of the benefits of the widgets. I like Tiger overall, though, and the new iTunes is nice. Now if only the hardware will hold up.

UCLA taking over.

Not that I'm unhappy!

Neither of these are easy flights to get anyway.

Not that it wasn't a makeup call.

No Lou, it wasn't a good call.

Please somebody! Give him a managerial job! Please! Help us DePodesta! Spare us listening to Piniella on TV!

Mike Piazza was great on ESPN.

This is known as "damning with faint praise".

Have you heard the Houston radio guys? I'm not sure who they are, but they are solid.

"General Manager Paul DePodesta said he could name a manager as soon as next week or continue the interviews with another dozen candidates he has on his list but has not revealed."

Kemp 0-5, 3 Ks, batted leadoff, didn't work so well
Laroche 2-4, K
Loney 2-4, 2B, HR, K, needless to say, he had a very good game
Abreu 2-4, K

Hull 5 IP, 4 H, 1 R, 3 Ks, impressive start in the AFL, I still expect him to be a NRI
Dannemiller 1 IP, BB

Hull and Dannemiler pitched 6 innings or 1 run ball against Kendrick, Morales, Wood, Butler, and Gordon and the rest of the amazing Surprise hitting

That is going to be one impressive Hall of Fame class...
