We got some internal reinforcements as Robby Thompson was activated from the list... and Jeff Robinson went on it. He is expected to miss two weeks.

Craig Grebeck was sent down and Frank Williams was called up.

The Giants have a 7 game lead on the Reds.

Doyle Alexander shut out the Dodgers! After losing both halves of a double-header against the Cardinals yesterday, Doyle cranked it up and the Giants won 1-0!

The Reds have won 4 in a row and the lead is now 6.5 games.

As the Trading Deadline approaches, the Giants pulled the trigger on a pretty big deal.

We traded three minor leaguers, including my old teammate, Terry Mulholland, to Cleveland for Rick Sutcliffe.

Rick is a solid vet in the middle of his career, having a great year!
Plus, he seems like a pretty fun guy!

Butch Henry has been called up in a recent shuffle, but he was sent down to make room for Rick.

Chili Davis peeled off a 20-game hitting streak! Well done Chili!

Meanwhile, however, the Reds have been making headway. We lead them by five games.

Pat Perry was sent back down, but it was because Jeff Robinson has been activated from the DL.

The lead is down to two. TWO. The Giants have lost five in a row.

After splitting a four game series with the Reds, we were shut out by John Candelaria and the Astros, 1-0.

Luckily the Reds also lost so our lead is still 2.

We beat the Astros the next three games while the Reds started losing. Our lead is getting more comfortable. It is up to five.

August 21st, 1987

It is my first game with the Phoenix Firebirds. In fact, in is my first minor league game ever.

I am with some familiar faces. Fran Mullins, Eddie Milner... Bryan Hockerson is pitching.

We are facing the Albuquerque Dukes on the road and Dennie Powell is pitching.

Phoenix is a pretty good team, going 70-39 so far.

I opened the game vs Powell by grounding out to Jeff Hamilton at 3rd.

I got the 2nd out in the bottom half, off a fielder's choice ball by Hamilton.

In the 2nd I was pivot on a Miscik - Priske - Litton double play to get Tony Brewer and Darrell Porter to end the inning.

I came up in the 3rd with two out and Bobby Miscik on 1st. I hit another one to Hamilton but this time it was an infield single. We were left.

We got things going in the 4th when Phil Oullette and Greg Litton scored on a single by Alonzo Powell and then Powell scored on a single by Bobby.

Firebirds lead 3-0

I led off the 5th by hitting another weak one, this time back to the pitcher, and outrunning it for a single. I stole 2nd with one out. I moved to 3rd on a groundout by Craig Grebeck and scored on a Kelvin Torve single.

Firebirds lead 4-0

In the 6th Greg scored on a single by Bobby. I came up with one out, Alonzo on 2nd, and Bobby on 1st. Steve Cummings was now pitching. I hit it back to Cummings who got Bobby at 2nd for a fielder's choice.
Alonzo scored and I went to 3rd on a single by Eddie Milner! That was it.

Firebirds lead 6-0

I got the 1st out in the bottom of the 7th off a grounder by Chuck Lynn.

I came up with one out in the 8th. Larry Pashnick was brought in to face me. I flew out to Gregg Ritchie in left.

I got the 1st out in the bottom half off a grounder by Joe Vavra.

In the 9th Kelvin Torre scored on a double by Phil. Phil scored on a single by pinch hitter Charles Kinard.

Firebirds lead 8-0

I caught a pop up by pinch hitter Luis Natera for the 1st out in the bottom half. Bryan struck out the last two guys to nail down his shutout.

I went 2 for 5 with two singles, a run scored, and a stolen base.

Still in Albuquerque.

The Dukes are pitching Tim Meeks (2-1, 6.75).

The Firebirds have John Burkett (12-1, 3.49).

I led off the game by grounding out to Jeff Hamilton at 3rd.

I came up in the 3rd with one out and Fran Mullins on 1st. I flew out to Stu Pederson in centre.

We opened the scoring in the 4th when Kelvin Torve doubled and then scored on an Alonzo Powell triple. Powell then scored on a Bran Wellman single. I flew out to left to end the inning.

Firebirds lead 2-0

The Dukes answered in the bottom half when Hamilton hit a solo homer.

Firebirds lead 2-1

In the 7th I came up with one out and Fran on 2nd. I got an intentional walk. We replaced Fran with a pinch runner, Lamar Hall, and it paid off as he scored on a single by Eddie Milner. Then Phil Ouellette doubled and Eddie and I both scored.

Firebirds lead 5-1

I finally made a defensive play int he 7th, getting the 1st out off a Hamilton grounder. I then did the same to Chuck Lynn for the 3rd.

I led off the 9th, now facing Timothy Cota. I grounded one back to COta but outran it for an infield single.
I went to 2nd as Eddie also got an infield hit. I went to 3rd on a fielder's choice by Phil and scored on the same by Kelvin.

Firebirds lead 6-1

Pat Perry came in to mop things up for us. He ended up giving up a run on a wild pitch, but that was it so Phoenix had a 6-2 win.

I went 1 for 4 with a single, a walk, and two runs scored.

August 23rd, 1987

The Firebirds are finishing up today in Albuquerque. I hope I go from here to rejoin the Giants. We'll see.

The Dukes are pitching Larry Person (2-1. 6.00)

The Firebirds have another former teammate of mine, Dave Miller (6-1, 2.67).

I opened the game by putting one up the middle for a single.
Eddie Milner walked behind me. We set up a double steal and Duke catcher Jon Debus threw the ball away trying to catch me at 3rd. I ended up scoring and Eddie got an extra base. He ended up scoring on a double play ball and Phil Ouellette scored on a Brad Wellman single.

Firebirds lead 3-0

The Dukes came out just as strong on the bottom half, as Gregg Ritchie scored on a Jeff Hamilton single. Jonathan Pequignot scored on a David Price sac fly. Hamilton scored on a Domingo Michel single. Then Christopher Chapman scored on a balk by Dave!
I took a Joe Vavra grounder for the 2nd out. Debus singled and Michel scored.
I handled a Darrell Porter grounder for the 3rd out.
Ouch.

Dukes lead 5-3

I came up in the 2nd with one out and Bobby Miscik on 1st. I grounded into a fielder's choice. I then scored on a double by Eddie.

Dukes lead 5-4

In the bottom half Pequignot scored on a double by Hamilton. Then Hamilton scored on a single by Price.
That was enough for Coop and Dave got the hook.
Mike Griffin came in. He has been lights out in AAA, I wonder when he'll be back up with the Giants?

Dukes lead 7-4

In the 3rd we got a Miscik - Priske - Litton double play to get Debus and Porter out.

I came up in the 4th with one out and Mark Berry on 1st. There was a wild pitch that sent Mark to 2nd and then he went 3rd as I singled through the left side. I stole 2nd - my 3rd since starting my rehab assignment. Mark scored and I went to 3rd on a groundout by Eddie. I then scored on a single by Phil.

Dukes lead 7-6

I got the 1st out in the bottom frame off a grounder by Hamilton.

I then did the same in the 5th off a Debus grounder.

I came up in the 6th with one out and Steve Cummings pitching. I walked. Stolen base #4 AND #5. I was unable to score.

After Mike gave up a leadoff single (his first hit allowed), Coop went to Charlie Corbeil in the 6th. Hit, walk, hit and Hamilton and Chapman crossed on a Michel single (breaking Mike's perfect ERA). After that Price scored on a Debus sac fly.

Dukes lead 10-6

I came up with two out in the 8th and struck out.

I took a Chapman grounder for the 1st out in the bottom half.
We couldn't score in the 9th and took the loss.

I went 2 for 4 with a pair of singles, a walk, three runs scored, and four stolen bases.

My hope was in vain. I am heading back to Phoenix with the team to face the Tucson Toros. They have to bring me up after that game (unless they actually want to assign me to AAA. I certainly hope not.)

The Firebirds are home in Phoenix. We are pitching Butch Henry (8-7, 2.70).

We are facing the Tucson Toros and they are going with Derek Livernois (4-3, 3.89).

I have faced him before and have gone 1 for 4.

I led off the home half of the game by striking out.

The Toros got on the board first when Randy Brian singled home Jim Pankovits in the 2nd.

Toros lead 1-0

In the 3rd Vern Followell scored on a Nelson Rood groundout.

Toros lead 2-0

I came up in the bottom half with none out and Alex Taveras on 1st. I knocked one through the eight side for a single, moving Alex to 3rd. Eddie Milner then grounded out, scoring Alex and sending me up a base. I then stole 3rd and scored on a Kelvin Torre grounder.

Game tied 2--2

In the 4th Deron McCue smashed a solo shot to put us up.

Firebirds lead 3-2

In the 5th I started a Priske - Taveras - Litton double play to get Mike Botkin and Followell out.

In the 5th I came up with none out and Alex on 1st. This time I walked. Eddie dropped one into the right field corner for a double. Alex scored and I went to 3rd. Then Kelvin doubled, scoring Eddie and I. Kelvin after scored on a Mark Berry single and Mark scored on a sac fly by Fran Mullins.

Firebirds lead 8-2

I got the 3rd out in the 6th off a Pankovits grounder.

I led off the bottom of the 6th, now facing Mike Dowless. I put one up the middle for a single. I advanced to 3rd on a single by Eddie. Kelvin then smacked a three run dinger! Later in the frame Craig Greback scored on a double by Deron. Then both Deron and Greg Litton scored on a single by Alex. I came up for the second time that inning, now facing Donald Dunster, and grounded out to end it.

Firebirds lead 14-2

In the 8th Mark Berry stole 2nd. If that happened in the bigs, the name one of our guys would be wearing a fastball.
Instead Mark scored on a single by Deron.

Firebirds lead 15-2

Butch ended up going the distance as we notched an easy win.

I went 2 for 4 with two singles, a walk, three runs scored, and a stolen base.

I am hitting .412 in AAA.

After the game it became official - I was heading to Philadelphia to rejoin the Giants.
Tom O'Malley was sent down.


I am coming back to a 4 game lead on the Reds.

It is great to be back in San Francisco after my rehab stint with the Firebirds ended with me joining the Giants on the road.

Today we are going with Rick Sutcliffe (10-9, 3.57).

We are facing Dwight Gooden (18-5, 2.16), and the Mets.

Rick has been with the team for a bit, but due to my injury, this is my first game behind him.

I have gone 6 for 29 vs Gooden.

I got the 3rd out in the 2nd off a Larry Parrish grounder.

I came up with one out in the 3rd and grounded out to Wally Backman at 2nd.
Mike Aldrete and Chill Davis followed with back-to-back doubles to put us on the board.

Giants lead 1-0

Stolen base #91. We were both left there.

I got the 2nd out in the 6th off a Lenny Dykstra grounder.

In the 8th the Mets tied it up when Greg Vaughan scored on a passed ball. With two out and a man on 3rd, Nestor went to Scott Garrelts. He got out of it.

Game tied 1-1.

I led off the bottom of the 8th against new pitcher, Jesse Orosco. I walked. but then Mike hit into a double play.

Dennis Eckersley came in to pitch the 9th.

I came up with two out in the 10th, now facing Roger McDowell. I grounded out to Kevin Mitchell at short.

Mets lead 3-1

We weren't able to get back and lost in extras.

I went 1 for 4 with a single, a walk, and stolen base.

After the game we found out that Brian Giles was placed on waivers. Tom O'Malley was called back up.

Brian filled in for me while I was gone, but did not perform well.

We are finishing off with the Mets and they are throwing up yet another top arm - Ron Darling (16-4, 2.35).

The Giants have a great arm of our own - Bruce Ruffin (16-8, 2.85).

I have gone a mere 2 for 24 vs Darling.

We got a nice Thompson - Priske - Aldrete double play to get Lenny Dykstra and Wally Backman as the first two outs of the game.

I led off our half by working a full count walk. Unfortunately I ran into a pitch out.

I next came up with one out in the 3rd. I struck out.

I led off in the 6th, still in a scoreless game, at outran an infield hit for a single. Mike Aldrete followed me with a double play ball.

I got the 1st out in the 7th off a Larry Parrish grounder. I then did the same to Dave Magadan for the 3rd.

The Mets finally cracked the egg when Darling led off the 8th with a triple and then Dykstra singled him home. Later Dykstra scored on a Parrish sac fly. Darryl Strawberry scored on a Carlton Fisk single. I ended things with another Magadan grounder.

Mets lead 3-0

John Rabb answered back with a lead off homer in the bottom frame. I came up with one out and struck out again.

Mets lead 3-1

The Mets were back at it in the 9th when pinch hitter Greg Vaughn scored on a Strawberry single. Then Backman scored on a sac fly by Kevin Mitchell.

Mets lead 5-1

We weren't able to score in the 9th and we had the loss.

I went 1 for 3 with a single, a walk, and a caught stealing.

Tomorrow the Expos come to town.

August 31st, 1987

The Expos are in town and you know what that means - my parents brought my grandparents down to watch the series! That is always fun. MY granddad is a big Expos fan, but my mom says he watches the Giants mostly now.

Montreal is pitching Jeff Russell (5-12, 6.35).

We have Doyle Alexander (14-6, 3.08).

I have gone 8 for 24 vs Russell.

I got action right away as the first batter, Mark McLemore, grounded one to me for the 1st out.
The Expos got on the board quickly as Jose Oqendo followed with a single and then scored on a Pedro Guerrero double.

Expos lead 1-0

I led off the home half by grounding out to Guerrero at 3rd.
Before the inning was up we had evened things when Chili Davis scored on a Steve Stanicek double.

Game tied 1-1

We had trouble in the 2nd when an error by Steve put Chris Sabo on 2nd and an error by Child allowed him to score. Then McLemore hit a two run homer. Three unearned runs.

Expos lead 4-1

Things got dicey again in the 3rd when the first three batters reached to load the bases. Tim Flannery then hit what seemed like a routine double play to Mike Aldrete at 1st, but Mike threw it away and Guerrero scored.
Our defence is not normally this bad.
Sabo then doubled home Rich Gedman and Shane Mack.
Nestor pulled Doyle for Frank Williams, but Doyle really got the raw end, there. Seven runs (so far) on five hits? Three errors?
Flannery ended up scoring on a Russell groundout.

Expos lead 8-1

I led off the bottom of the 3rd by grounding out to Guerrero again.
Just like in the 1st, Chili scored on an RBI by Steve.

Expos lead 8-2

In the 4th, once again the first three batters reached to load things up. Mack singled home Oquendo. Flannery WALKED, forcing in Guerrero. Frank threw a wild pitch, allowing Gedman to cross.
THIS is the game my family came down from Victoria for?
Sabo walked, reloading the bags. Somehow Frank managed to strike out the next three batters to stop the bleeding.

Expos lead 11-2

I got the 3rd out in the 5th, grabbing a Gedman grounder.

I led off the bottom of the 5th by fouling out to Gedman behind the plate.

Mark Davis took over not he mound for us in the 6th.
We got a Thompson - Priske - Aldrete double play for him to get out Mack and Flannery.

We had a collision at 2nd on the 7th. Robby was okay but the Expos got some hard looks after that, going in that hard when up by nine runs.

I came up in the bottom of the 7th with two out and Eric Plunk pitching. I finally got a hit, hitting one to the wall in left-centre for a double. Bobby Grich hit for Mike but to no avail.

Dennis Eckerlsey came in to pitch the 9th. That says more about the fatigue in the pen than anything else.

I came up in the bottom of the 9th with one out and pinch hitter Jerry Mumphrey on 1st. Randy St. Claire was pitching. I struck out.

We couldn't score and lost 11-2.

Embarrassing. The Expos are a last place team. The Reds are hot on our heels, trailing us by only two games.

I went 1 for 4 with a double.

After the game we heard that the team is calling up 12 players from Phoenix as rosters expand!

John Burkett, Bryan Hickerson, Butch Henry, Willie Fraser, Mike Griffin, Pat Perry, Kelvin Torve, Phil Oullette, Craig Grebeck, Eddie Milner, Fran Mullins, and Jessie Reid.

I know most of them after my rehab stint.

With Butch up, I am not the youngest player on the team!

The 'Pennant Chase' odds are up and we have been given a 74% chance of making the playoffs. Good, but not good enough.
