Idols Lose Summers
Pitcher done for season as L.A. chases Arizona

LOS ANGELES -- Already down a starter with Ricky Nolasco on the shelf, the defending champion Los Angeles Idols suffered another blow today when Ed Summers was shut down with a torn elbow ligament that will require surgery.

The 27-year-old righty hasn't pitched to his 18-win form of last season, but still was a vital cog in the L.A. rotation. This season, Summers went 11-11 with a 4.79 ERA, a number blow up by a recent 10-start stretch in which he posted a 6.45 ERA.

The Idols signed free agent Dave Freisleben, let go by Orlando earlier this season despite going 3-0 for them with a 1.52 ERA in three starts, a move that confused many.

Freisleben won't have to be brilliant, just steady. Los Angeles boasts the league's best offense and a strong bullpen of Tom Niedenfeur, Jonathan Papelbon, Billy McCool and Brian Fuentes, that has posted a 3.08 collective ERA this season, 2nd best in the Southern League.

Los Angeles currently trails the division-leading Arizona Sandmen by 4 games. The teams meet for a three-game set this weekend in Phoenix. Freisleben is slated to start Friday night.

Lincecum gets 2,000
Strummers' star notches 2,000th career strikeout

SACRAMENTO -- They said he wouldn't last.

At 5'10", 148 pounds and with an unorthodox delivery, critics of Tim Lincecum said the star righthander would break down at some point. Too much torque on that frame.

And here he sits, in his ninth season since being taken in the inaugural draft. He has never been on the disabled list, making more than 32 starts each season, and topping 200 innings each season as well. And tonight, he reached a mark only Wichita's Rube Waddell reached before him.

With one out in the fifth inning of a game Memphis would ultimately lose 3-2, Lincecum struck out Don Buford on a knee-buckling curveball to pick up the 2,000th strikeout of his career.

"It seems a lot of these marks me and others have reached this season have come in losses," Lincecum noted wryly after the game. "I'm proud of what I've done, but we're not where we want to be be as a team, and that's what matters."

Lincecum fell to 10-10 with a 3.19 ERA for Memphis, which is in last place in the Southern League East, 14 games out.

Hines' Streak Ended
Charlotte slugger's hitting streak ends at 28

CHARLOTTE -- What's been an incredible second half for Cougars leftfielder Paul Hines culminated in a hitting streak that approached the PBL record of 33, held by Louisville's Richie Ashburn.

And it was Ashburn who watched from the visitors dugout as Hines' streak ended at 28 games, the fourth longest in history.

Louisville topped Charlotte 6-3, and Paul Hines went 0-for-4, the last coming on an error from Jim Lefebvre. The error was obvious, and nobody disputed it after the game, least of all Hines.

"Jim makes that play 99 out of 100 times," Hines said. "I didn't get it done today. Simple as that."

Since July 1, Hines has hit .341 with 19 homers and 47 RBI. Charlotte has gone 28-20 over that stretch, but remains 17 games behind runaway leader Louisville.

Anson Gets 1,500
Orlando first baseman joins 1,500-hit club

SAN ANTONIO -- Orlando Orcas first baseman Cap Anson became the sixth player in Pastime Baseball League history to amass 1,500 hits in his career tonight, stroking a 7th inning single off San Antonio's Pete Falcone in an eventual 12-7 Orlando victory.

The career .301 hitter, 32 years old, has seen his power numbers decline a bit in recent years but remains a steady offensive force.

The six-time All-Star started off slowly, but has hit .307 over his last 51 games. With his team 12-games out, Anson is just hoping to lay the groundwork for a team of youngsters including Jimmy Wynn, Chino Smith, Jerry Remy and Leon Durham, to progress in the coming years and get back to playoff contention.

"I've seen a lot in this game," Anson said. "There's plenty left for me, but I need to share what I know, too."

"Cap's been a great help," said teammate Rocco Baldelli, who has had the best two seasons of his career since coming to Orlando before last season. "He's an absolute pro."

Small switch, as instead of starting the day-to-day pennant race coverage on Sept. 1 I'm going to do it from Sept. 15. A couple more news tidbits first, though.

Idols Lose Easter
L.A. takes second hit in three days

LOS ANGELES -- Catching the St. Louis Tides is going to be that much tougher for the defending champions.

Luke Easter pulled up lame running to first last night against San Antonio in the Idols' 11-4 win. He needed to be helped into the locker room and has been diagnosed with a pulled hamstring. It sounds likely the team will place him on the disabled list.

The news of Easter's injury comes two days after Dave Freisleben was diagnosed with a torn rotator cuff that ended his season. Freisleben, picked up off the scrap heap after his inexplicable release by Orlando, went 3-0 with a 2.94 ERA in five starts with Los Angeles after being signed once Ed Summers was lost for the season to elbow surgery.

Now it seems Freisleben could be out even longer than Summers. Mike Witt, taken in the first round of the November draft, will get first crack at the rotation spot.

The loss of Easter, batting .315 with 17 homers and 77 RBIs, means Hardy Richardson will likely move to shortstop and Bill Monroe - acquired in the Ervin Santana trade last offseason - will get time at second base.

Easter converted from first base when the Idols signed Dan Brouthers three years ago, and has become adequate at the position. It's been mentioned that Eddie Murray, who continues to hit in part-time duty, be given a chance to make the same conversion. But to do so in a pennant race seems too risky a move for the Idols to consider.

Murray is batting .316 with 6 homers and 32 RBI in 177 at bats

The Idols trail first-place St. Louis by four games in the Southern League West division. The teams meet in Los Angeles for a three-game series next weekend for their final head-to-head meeting of the season.

Injuries Toy With Pennant Races
Sandmen lose Thompson, Tides lose Speaker

You never like seeing injuries affect pennant races, but that's exactly what's happening in the Southern League.

Days after Los Angeles suffered losses of Luke Easter and Dave Freisleben, the division leaders suffered losses of their own.

The Arizona Sandmen suffered a difficult loss, as slugger Sam Thompson is done for the season after breaking his hand crashing into the wall against New Orleans.

"I just can't believe it's happened again," said Thompson, who missed the 2015 postseason when he suffered an oblique strain on the next to last day of the season. "I've won three rings," Thompson said of his time with the New Orleans Knights. "But I want one here. And now I can't contribute."

Arizona's up three games in the West over Los Angeles.

Meanwhile, in the East, the division-leading St. Louis Tides lost star centerfielder Tris Speaker to elbow tendinitis.

"He's trying to play through it," manager Harry Wright said. "But it's gotten so bad he can't even really swing the bat. We just need to hope we can hold on and that he can return for the playoffs."

Speaker fought the decision, but ultimately had no choice.

Rookie Luis Salazar will play in Speaker's absence, taking left field while Duke Snider moves to center.

Oklahoma City 11, New Orleans 5: Dontrelle Willis' pursuit of career win 150 met a surprising roadblock, as last place Oklahoma City pasted the lefty 7 runs on 8 hits in 3 1/3 innings of work. Fred Dunlap capped it with a grand slam in the 9th off Dick Rudolph.

Yeah, this is a good one. Three-way tie for first with 10 games left and no wild card.

Couple of good subplots down the stretch here, too. Dan Brouthers pursuing the triple crown, Tim Raines pursuing the hitting streak record, Dontrelle Willis trying to become the second pitcher to 150 wins, and Arizona and St. Louis trying to hold on despite losing Sam Thompson and Tris Speaker, respectively.

Triple Crown Chase

With 10 games remaining, Los Angeles' Dan Brouthers has the chance to add another note to a brilliant career, as he is within striking distance of becoming the first Triple Crown winner in Pastime Baseball League history.

Brouthers currently leads the Southern League with 32 homers and 113 runs batted in. He's batting .332, a point behind St. Louis' Rusty Staub and two points behind Alabama's Buddy Kerr. Chino Smith of Alabama looms behind at .329. Willie Stargell of Memphis is one homer behind with 31, while Staub trails in RBI by 2.

But Staub's numbers may be locked in, as he's been sidelined with an abdominal strain. If Brouthers has a good final week, he could add a new entry to a full slate of career accomplishments.
