You Can't Spell King without the "K" |
Toronto at Seattle
Yep, that's right. Nick and I played once, and now we've played again. Unfortunately for Nick, he came across King Felix both times...
Game One - Masterson @ Grienke
The oft-drafted Masterson was woefully overmatched in this one, as Greinke (CG, 1 ER, 13K's, 2BB's) got stronger as the game went along and Big Papi (3-4, 2 2B's, 1 HR, 4 RBI) lifted the offense on his back and ran.
Nick - 6
Keith - 1
(Nick leads 1-0)
Game Two - Hernandez @ Hammell
King Felix responded to Grienke's strong performance with a complete game (1 ER, 14K's, 4BB's) outing of his own. In two series against Nick, Hernandez has 30 K's. It doesn't take a calculator to figure out he's leading the league in this category - he went a complete game in a 10-inning 1-0 loss in the season opener. Hey Buttrock, how about a copy of that series?
Keith - 3
Nick - 1
(Series tied 1-1)
Game Three - Peavy @ Blackley
This well-played game saw Keith hold on to a 3-2 lead on the strength of a Nelson Cruz HR and a Curt "I only play because Choo is constantly injured" Granderson two-run jobber. Reddick and Gordon collected RBI's for Ewoldt.
Keith - 3
Nick - 2
(Keith wins series 2-1)
