It was my first time at Fenway! I'm glad I saw that grand slam in person!

Is that anywhere close to a record?

Most since 1900, so it is a modern day record.

Final score was 30-3, and the funny thing is, Texas pitcher Wes Littleton recorded a save.

Even funnier, Baltimore lead 3-0 after 3 innings

And funnier still, this is game 1 of a doubleheader, game 2 in half an hour.
 
Texas: 30
Baltimore: 3

Texas (55W, 70L) .440
Games Behind: 19

I think the Rangers truly represent the meaning of the word "inconsistent."

Go Texas!

After looking at the score, it's hard to beleive the Orioles led this game 3-0 at one point. The Rangers' 30 runs sets a modern MLB record, surpassing the mark of 29 runs that were scored by the Red Sox (June 8, 1950) and White Sox (April 23, 1955). It's the second-most runs all-time as the Chicago Colts (now the Cubs) scored 36 against the Louisville Colonels on June 29, 1897. Jarrod Saltalamacchia led the Rangers' charge, going 4-for-6 with two homers, five runs and seven RBIs.

i do, i'm happy he's starting everyday over in texas. we just had no room for him here in atlanta.

but that was crazy, i saw the 20 runs and thought the onslaught was over, but they just kept pounding them, texas is an offensive juggernaut. why they suck for so long is a mystery (no pitching). but 30 runs...i started to think ravens-cowboys there for a second.

as for the braves, i think we're done, we can't even beat the sorry reds. teams that can't beat up losers don't go to the playoffs.

at least the padres won and beat up the muts. but something disturbing today, sounds like peavy won't be a padre come 2010. the padres need to try to keep this guy for his whole career. (and i doubt he's going to new york or boston, he doesn't seem like a big city type guy, he'll probably go houston or some other west coast team).

According to what I read this morning, the last time a team scored over 30 runs was in 1897, 36 runs by the Chicago Colts (forerunners of the Cubs). Yesterday's game included six home runs two of which were grand slams.

Does anyone care to explain exactly how there was a save in last night's game?

saves are kind of weird.

Saves:
Rule 10.20 in the Official Rule Book states:
Credit a pitcher with a save when he meets all three of the following conditions:
(1) He is the finishing pitcher in a game won by his club; and
(2) He is not the winning pitcher; and
(3) He qualifies under one of the following conditions:
- (a) He enters the game with a lead of no more than three runs and pitches for at least one inning; or
- (b) He enters the game, regardless of the count, with the potential tying run either on base, or at bat, or on deck (that is, the potential tying run is either already on base or is one of the first two batsmen he faces; or
- (c) He pitches effectively for at least three innings. No more than one save may be credited in each game.

So let's go through it...

1) check, he finished the game
2) check, he did not win the game
3) (c) applies.

Littleton's line: 3.0 IP, 2 H, 1 BB, 1K, 0 R, 0 ER

It's not a typical save op. Generally the saves you see every day are from (a) and more rarely from (b).

I liked Charley Steiner's explanation of the scoreboard in Philly, which wasn't able to display a "2", and incorrectly showed the score as 17-3 at the time, instead of 27-3.

After they tacked on the last few runs, Steiner noted that the Orioles were batting in the bottom of the ninth needing 27 to tie it up.
 
I love late games:rolleyes:, 4 hour rain delay, game starts at 11 PM, 1:30 AM in the 7th inning.
2:45 AM 10th inning.
3:06 AM top 11th inning.
So at 3:30 AM after staying up all night the Yankees loose after Guillen hits a walk of home run in the 11th.
