Fred Heff takes a 3-2 pitch for ball 4 to load the bases up with 1 out... A passed ball scores Gonzalez... 4 to 3, Mules.

Bottom of the Seventh
Jack Washburn hits a home run to right center! Tie Game: 4 to 4!

Bottom of the Ninth
On the Hill: John Robillard (28-R), their closer, after a scoreless 8th. 6-7-8 up for us and all of our good pinch-hitters (relatively speaking) were used futilely already... Jack Washburn, who hit a home run last time up, strikes out... Frank Roadman flies out to deep left. Don Kern, who hit a home run earlier, strikes out looking....

Extras!
First one in over a month.

Top of the Tenth

New Pitcher: Jackie Wade (28-R), who got 2 outs on Friday and gave us a hit and a walk. Tom McDowell lines the first pitch to center for a hit! Jack Washburn tries to bunt, but whiffs on the first try and bunts the second try foul. He then takes a 1-2 pitch in the shoulder! Frank Roadman who cannot be pinch-hit for because Bart Daw needs the day off, lines an 0-2 pitch left for a hit and the bases are loaded with no outs! Don Kern, who cannot be pitch hit for because Bert Swope needs the day off, grounds into a force at home 4-2... Swope can pinch-hit, though; so here he is... He swings at the first pitch and grounds into a force at home, 3-2.... Unbelievable.... We cannot score a run with the bases loaded and no outs... One more try... Leander Gooding beats out an infield hit and THIS Ball Game Belongs to the Jays!

The New Orleans Pelicans are here to play a 3 game series over the weekend. They just lost 2 of 3 in Orlando and have lost 7 of their last 8 games, getting shut out 3 times. We are 4-4 against them on the season and split 4 games with them the first time they visited, May 20-23. They are 15th in scoring with 3.47 runs per game (Jacksonville is #3 with 4.47). They are last in HR with 56 and we are 8th with 94. The Pelicans are 11th in fewest runs allowed with 4.18 per game (Jacksonville is #1 with 3.17). Their run differential is -90, 4th worst in the MLB, and ours is +166, still tops.

Nevertheless, he shut us out on 5 hits with no walks and 4 strikeouts the last time we faced him. We beat him up the first time we met him this year. 3.75 ERA, 12 IP, 10 H, 1 HR, 1 BB, 5 SO.

Editor's Note: For those of you thinking I jinxed him by noting that the Mules went 9 up, 9 down, I would have you know that I am acutely aware of jinxes. And though I do not believe in them, I do believe that it is proper baseball etiquette to give them due respect and observe their forms. I did not write the 9 up, 9 down line until after Baucom had actually allowed a hit.

I don't believe in jinxes, which is why I am still boldly coming to this thread after my last comment which talked about rings and immediately sent the team into a spiral.

But I am also often an inning or two ahead before writing things down, especially early and even with no-hit bids. Even then, I try to keep it subtle (not always successfully), as in this solid effort by Brownie back in the day. In the later innings, I go into live mode, though, often writing things at-bat by at-bat, which leads to a choppy style I don't always bother to clean up. -.-

I should stop babbling before I jinx Jimmyboy for life.

NO: Terry Henry (33-R) (6-8 5.22 ERA 119 IP, 153 H, 8 HR, 52 BB, 62 SO)

We have faced Henry once this season and he beat us, even though we scored 4 runs on 9 hits and 3 walks with 2 strikeouts on 5 innings.

Baucom gave up 4 runs on 3 hits, 1 home run and 2 walks with 10 strikeouts in 7 innings last time out in a loss. He would seem to be a heavy favorite today, but we have been shut out by Henry before...

1B Jack Washburn (22-L) was placed on the Disabled List and we called up LF Tommy Adams (22-L), our 2nd round pick in this year's B Leagues Draft. He is hitting .313 for Daytona (A), though without any power. Fernando Tello will move to 1st.

The Birmingham Barons are here to play a short 2 game set. I invited them to stay longer, but they insisted that we follow the schedule. They lost 2 of 3 at home to Memphis over the weekend. We are 8-1 against them on the season and won 2 of 3 the last time they visited. They are 7th in scoring with 4.10 runs per game (Jacksonville is #3 with 4.49). The Barons are last in fewest runs allowed with 5.25 per game (Jacksonville is #1 with 3.13). Their run differential is -149, 2nd worst in the MLB, and ours is +178, still #1.

Warwick gave up 4 runs on 6 hits, 1 home run and 3 walks with 2 strikeouts in 7 innings last time out in a no decision that we won in 11 innings.

We had an incident with CF Gary McKellar yesterday and it seems his former attitude problems have resurfaced. The hotel maid complained about his behavior and I tried to talk to him about it, but he was surly and rude and told me it was none of my business..... So he has been shipped back to Daytona (A) until he can show the coaches there that he is trying to change his behavior. We recalled rookie RF Phil Moore (23-R), who is only hitting .254 for the Tortugas.

P Jim Baucom and Charlie Faber lead off with back to back hits! Tommy Adams grounds a hit to right and P Baucom heads home and gets thrown out by Tom Spiess......

Posts: 16,142	Friday, August 27, 2004 The New Orleans Pelicans are here to play a 3 game series over the weekend. They just lost 2 of 3 in Orlando and have lost 7 of their last 8 games, getting shut out 3 times. We are 4-4 against them on the season and split 4 games with them the first time they visited, May 20-23. They are 15th in scoring with 3.47 runs per game (Jacksonville is #3 with 4.47). They are last in HR with 56 and we are 8th with 94. The Pelicans are 11th in fewest runs allowed with 4.18 per game (Jacksonville is #1 with 3.17). Their run differential is -90, 4th worst in the MLB, and ours is +166, still tops. New Orleans Pelicans (56-71 .441 31.5 GB in 7th place in the Southern Division) at Jacksonville Jays (88-40 .688 15.5 GA in 1st place in the Southern Division) NO: Bill Colby (33-R) (7-14 4.99 ERA 164 IP, 190 H, 23 HR, 51 BB, 88 SO) JAX: Dave Buchalter (26-R) (2-0 2.19 ERA 12.1 IP, 9 H, 1 HR, 8 BB, 5 SO) Colby is 2nd in the MLB in losses and tied for 1st in most HR allowed. He has lost more games than any other pitcher in the MLB (67). Nevertheless, he shut us out on 5 hits with no walks and 4 strikeouts the last time we faced him. We beat him up the first time we met him this year. 3.75 ERA, 12 IP, 10 H, 1 HR, 1 BB, 5 SO. Buchalter has won both of his starts so far. He gave up 1 run on 5 hits and 3 walks with 2 strikeouts in 5.1 innings last time out.

He is hitting .313 for Daytona (A), though without any power. Fernando Tello will move to 1st. The Birmingham Barons are here to play a short 2 game set. I invited them to stay longer, but they insisted that we follow the schedule. They lost 2 of 3 at home to Memphis over the weekend. We are 8-1 against them on the season and won 2 of 3 the last time they visited. They are 7th in scoring with 4.10 runs per game (Jacksonville is #3 with 4.49). The Barons are last in fewest runs allowed with 5.25 per game (Jacksonville is #1 with 3.13). Their run differential is -149, 2nd worst in the MLB, and ours is +178, still #1. Birmingham Barons (53-77 .408 37.5 GB in 8th (last) place in the Southern Division) at Jacksonville Jays (91-40 .695 15.5 GA in 1st place in the Southern Division) BIRM: Paul Gaughan (35-R) (9-8 3.18 ERA 133 IP, 121 H, 10 HR, 27 BB, 84 SO) All-Star(2: 01-02) JAX: Del Warwick (29-L) (9-7 2.96 ERA 182.2 IP, 181 H, 11 HR, 37 BB, 116 SO) Gold Glove(02) Gaughan is their #1 starter.

Warwick gave up 4 runs on 6 hits, 1 home run and 3 walks with 2 strikeouts in 7 innings last time out in a no decision that we won in 11 innings.

Posts: 16,142	Sunday, September 5, 2004 We had an incident with CF Gary McKellar yesterday and it seems his former attitude problems have resurfaced. The hotel maid complained about his behavior and I tried to talk to him about it, but he was surly and rude and told me it was none of my business..... So he has been shipped back to Daytona (A) until he can show the coaches there that he is trying to change his behavior. We recalled rookie RF Phil Moore (23-R), who is only hitting .254 for the Tortugas.

Weston is 4-0 in his last 5 starts. We faced him in June and scored 4 runs (3 earned) on 7 hits, 1 home run, 1 walk and 3 strikeouts in 6 innings in a no decision that we won in 10 innings.

With 1 out, PH Leander Gooding (33-R) beats out an infield hit and then goes to 2nd on a ground out. With 2 outs, they walk Danny Stewart intentionally to face Fernando Tello, which seems a bit odd to me.... Tello makes them pay with a grounder to left for a hit and Gooding scores! 5 to 4, Jays! Tom McDowell swings at the first pitch and clears the bases with a double to right and ends up on 3rd!! 7 to 4, Jays! That does it for P Green.
