Bloops and Blasts is the newest feature at Glove Mandatory. We'll use this space to update the most interesting baseball action that has taken place the night before, or the afternoon of. We don't promise the most interesting of analysis, it is just a bunch of boxscores after-all. Oh...and maybe some hot chicks.
So, we are a mere two days into existence, and yes, we've already changed the name of the only feature we have to date. Afternoon Runs, Hits & Errors felt a little long, so we've shortened it down to Bloops and Blasts. No one should have a problem with this, since no one probably reads this at this point. Now onto the action from last night.
Yankees 7, Orioles 4: The Yankees beat the Orioles, big surprise. Well, there was some shock involved in this game, namely when a line drive up the middle caught pitcher Joba Chamberlain in the knee. He would have to leave the game. Yankees fans began throwing themselves off the upper deck upon the realization that Phil Hughes may be forced to start for them again.
Cardinals 3, Cubs 1: The Redbirds finished their dominance of the Cubbies last night, completing a three game sweep. Pujols homered for the 14th time this season, taking out the 'I' in Big Mac in left field. This just in, Pujols is awesome, and totally not juicing. I can't figure out who is more mediocre, the NL Central or the AL Central?
Angels 3, Mariners 0: Ok, I think it's time that we forget that the Mariners may have a shot to surprise the AL West. They are now four games under .500. The mighty Joe Saunders pitches a gem of a game, going seven innings, striking out 3, and giving up only 4 hits.
Red Sawks 5, Blue Jays 1: Manny who? Jason Bay is on an absolute tear. He set a team record with his 11th consecutive homer with men on base. The Sawks also got a good game out of their struggling "ace" Jon Lester. The win completes a sweep by Boston. The Blue Jays look like they were a mirage, as they've now lost, I believe, 5 of their last 6 games against the Yanks and Sawks.
