Ortiz on 2-9 BoSox: Everybodys worried (AP)

post from MLB News Blog on 13 April 2011 06:15:23 PM. © MLB News Blog

The struggling Boston Red Sox are hoping a two-day break will help them shake off their slow start. Two of the AL’s early disappointments got together for a rain-shortened series, and the Tampa Bay Rays left town with a pair of victories and a sense they’re headed in the right direction. The Red Sox, though, [...]

As get 3 in 9th and 10th to beat ChiSox (AP)

post from MLB News Blog on 13 April 2011 06:09:21 PM. © MLB News Blog

Oakland scored three times in the ninth inning, then Coco Crisp hit a go-ahead single in a three-run 10th as the Athletics feasted on Chicago’s shaky bullpen for a startling 7-4 win over the White Sox. Crisp entered the game in the ninth as a pinch-runner and was in a 3-for-22 slump before singling off [...]

Only losers do drugs, which is to say, the government is pleased to force the matter of "loser". A shameful moment in our history of jurisprudence.

Edward Mujica fined for plunking Bill Hall

post from Fish Stripes on 13 April 2011 06:01:48 PM. © Fish Stripes

In case you didn't see the game last night or have read about it elsewhere, Edward Mujica was fined for plunking Bill Hall in the finale with the Astros.

Marlins pitcher Edward Mujica received an undisclosed fine for intentionally hitting Bill Hall of the Astros in the bottom of the seventh inning...

The Astros didn't get off so lucky when they hit Gaby Sanchez.

Houston Astros pitcher Aneury Rodriguez received a three-game suspension Tuesday for his role in the beanball war last week with the Florida Marlins, MLB announced.
---
Astros manager Brad Mills received a one-game suspension and an undisclosed fine for Rodriguez's intentional actions following the warning. He will immediately serve his suspension.

Not sure I would characterize it as a "beanball" war. It was more like a bruising of the butts contest. The reason the Astos participants penalty was more server is it happened after the warnings were issued.

Unfortunately, Mujica will probably have to suck up the whole fine himself. On some clubs they will take up a collection or the player "protected" will pay the fine out of comradery, but the Marlins haven't done that in the past. Now, they may do it this time, but if history is any indicator, they won't.

post from MLB News Blog on 13 April 2011 05:57:23 PM. © MLB News Blog

Francisco Liriano changed up this time and threw more fastballs. Too bad for him, the result was a replay of his two other starts. Slumping Mike Aviles doubled twice and drove in three runs as the Kansas City Royals became the latest team to tag Liriano, roughing up the Minnesota Twins 10-5 Wednesday.

Royals rough up Liriano, top Twins 10-5 (AP)

Mike Aviles didn’t feel he was in a funk. Even at 0 for 18, he didn’t consider that long enough to be a slump. No need to think about that anymore. Aviles doubled twice and drove in three runs as the Kansas City Royals became the latest team to tag Francisco Liriano, roughing up the [...]
