  12. Tony Gwynn, Jr. collects 1st MLB hit exactly 24 years after his father's first hit San Francisco Giants 7 Milwaukee Brewers 6 July 19, 2006 (by JANIE McCAULEY, AP Sports Writer) SAN FRANCISCO (AP) -- Barry Bonds bobbed his head and sang along to an old hip-hop tune by Bobby Brown while sitting back in his chair, seemingly without a worry in the world. A day before he could be indicted, Bonds delivered the big hit that started San Francisco's winning rally Wednesday. Ray Durham capped the comeback, hitting a two-run single off closer Derrick Turnbow's glove in the ninth inning as the Giants turned a couple of lucky bounces into a 7-6 win over the Milwaukee Brewers. Back in his corner of the clubhouse afterward, Bonds enjoyed Brown's song "My Prerogative." Bonds could be indicted by a grand jury on perjury and tax evasion charges as soon as Thursday. Bonds led off the ninth with a pinch-hit single, right after Turnbow thought he'd struck out the Giants star. The seven-time NL MVP, who turns 42 on Monday, did not start following Tuesday's night game. "I just saw it and hit it, that's it," Bonds said. "Just like Ray did. ... It's hard to pinch-hit in that situation. He got ahead of me early and I worked the count full." When asked whether he was anxious about a potential indictment, Bonds said he would only answer baseball-related questions. Eventually, he lifted his hands to shoo away a group of reporters. "See you later. Have fun," he said. Jose Vizcaino pinch-ran for Bonds, and with one out, Steve Finley hit a chopper up the middle that skipped past shortstop Bill Hall and deflected off second baseman Rickie Weeks' mitt. The ball bounded into center field for a double, and Moises Alou was intentionally walked to load the bases. Durham, who homered earlier, hit a one-hopper that could've become a game-ending double play. Instead, Turnbow reached for the ball and it glanced off his glove and caromed into right-center for the game-winner. San Francisco earned its second straight one-run victory following a team meeting Tuesday, giving the Giants momentum going into a four-game series at home against NL West-leading San Diego starting Thursday night. "The win is a huge lift," said Durham, who homered for the fifth time in eight games to give him 15 on the year. "If we lost with the first-place Padres coming in, it would have been a struggle. I was sitting on a fastball and he got two strikes on me, then I got my fastball. The ball hit the pitcher's glove and I think it would have been a bang-bang play, but there was no way I was getting doubled off, no chance." Turnbow (4-6) blew his fourth save in his last seven appearances and was so upset he declined to talk to reporters. "He threw the ball well today," manager Ned Yost said. "The 2-2 pitch to Barry might have been a strike but it wasn't, because it's Barry. Finley's ball was a tough play. It had a strange hop." Gabe Gross hit a three-run homer, Carlos Lee hit a two-run homer and Hall added a solo shot for the Brewers. Tony Gwynn Jr. had a pinch-hit double off Brian Wilson in the Milwaukee ninth for his first Major League hit. His father's first Major League hit -- also a double -- came exactly 24 years earlier to the day, on July 19, 1982, for the Padres. The younger Gwynn received a standing ovation when his accomplishment was announced between innings. "He hit a double, too," said the rookie outfielder, who was told before the game that it was the anniversary of his dad's first hit. Brian Wilson (1-0) pitched one inning for his first Major League victory. "I don't really think about wins," he said. "The whole game was a ton of emotion. We all felt we were going to win, even down five runs." Lee connected in the first, sending the first pitch from Matt Morris over the wall in left-center for his 27th homer of the year. Hall led off the second with his 19th homer and second of this series, in which he drove in five runs. Gross homered in the third and fans began booing Morris as the Brewers' hits total increased. Durham hit a two-run homer in the fifth off Doug Davis that pulled the Giants to 6-4. San Francisco rookie Eliezer Alfonzo hit a solo homer in the eighth, and also doubled and singled. Finley had two doubles and a single, a sacrifice fly and scored twice. Morris came close to having his five-game winning streak snapped. He hasn't lost since June 9 against Pittsburgh. Notes Lee homered for the first time in the second half, with his last coming July 9 in a loss to the Chicago Cubs ... San Francisco's Omar Vizquel stole his 17th base ... Giants catcher Eliezer Alfonzo stole the first base of his career.
  13. Gaylord Perry/Moon Landing & Aaron #755 ON THIS DATE (July 20th) IN BASEBALL HISTORY I heard that in 1963 Gaylord Perry said that there would be a man on the moon before he hit a home run. Within a few hours after the moon landing in 7-69 he hit his one and only HR?
  14. Good story on USA Basketball Summer of '72 a reminder there's no silver lining By Gene Wojciechowski ESPN.com LAS VEGAS -- Thirty-four long years later, Mike Bantom still wonders what it would have felt like to bow his head and have someone drape a gold medal around his neck. This is what a single unfulfilled moment can do to you. It can frustrate. It can infuriate. It can leave a hole in your heart the size of a wristband. On Wednesday at the Cox Pavilion, Bantom sat on a metal folding chair near courtside of the first-ever practice session of the newly organized USA Senior National Team. If U.S. coach Mike Krzyzewski and his staff were smart -- and they are -- they would invite the now-55-year-old Bantom to a team dinner at their swank Vegas digs, the Wynn Hotel, and ask the former St. Joseph's forward to describe the day this country's choke hold on basketball and gold medals came to an end. And if LeBron James, Dwyane Wade, Elton Brand, Gilbert Arenas and the rest of the U.S. players are smart -- and they are -- they'll listen and perhaps understand they're not just playing for themselves, but for you, and me, and Bantom. Or as the program's managing director Jerry Colangelo puts it, for "redemption." In 1972 Bantom earned a place on the U.S. Olympic basketball roster. Sixty-four players were invited to the tryouts at the Air Force Academy. Twelve players were selected to the team coached by the legendary Henry Iba. There was no confusion about what was expected. No USA men's hoops team had ever lost a game in Olympic competition. Anything less than perfection and a gold medal was unthinkable. "After the team was picked we had a three-week training camp at Pearl Harbor Naval Base," says Bantom, now an NBA senior vice president of player development. "And I guess it was in Hawaii, but we didn't see much of Hawaii. We saw the naval base." Krzyzewski, a former Army captain, houses his team in the Wynn, home of bed linens with 320-thread counts, of restaurants whose menus include $170 caviar tastings, of nightclubs with sultry, provocative names such as Lure and Tryst, of shops that feature Cartier, Dior and Blahnik. They practice twice a day. Iba's team lived in barracks and practiced in the morning, afternoon and after dinner. "We lived as soldiers in the barracks," Bantom says. "We ate at the mess hall. We got up in the morning when [the soldiers] got up. Lights out when their lights were out." Krzyzewski's team has no curfew. The players can return to the luxury of the hotel, sit poolside if they choose, play video games in their rooms or become close, personal friends with every club on The Strip. After all, what happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas. Iba's players could return to their one-room barracks with no air conditioning and then try to sleep in their much-too-short, government-issued single beds with mosquito netting. Of the three weeks they were there, Iba gave them one night off -- and took them to a Don Ho Hawaiian Revue. And then Iba's team traveled to Munich for the 1972 Summer Games, where it faced the USSR in the gold medal game. With three seconds remaining, the USA led 50-49. The Americans owned the one-point lead thanks to a pair of free throws by USA guard Doug Collins, whose son Chris is now assisting Krzyzewski here at the U.S. national team practices. But then the U.S. team was undone by a referee's whistle, by a timekeeper's slow finger, by a FIBA official's mind-boggling ruling, by a three-quarter-court-length pass (think Grant Hill's pass to Christian Laettner in the 1992 NCAA Tournament) by the Russians, by a game-winning layup as time (or, at least, FIBA's version of it) expired, by a failed U.S. appeal. Bantom remembers. Why bother even trying to forget? It isn't possible. The USSR team "won" the gold. The USA team chose not to accept silver. Bantom never bowed his head. "I think the major emotion is just frustration," he says. "After all these years the one thing I really realize is how rare it is -- and what an honor it is -- to win a gold medal. I really thought we had done that. And I wish I had that medal to show for it." There are no more givens in international basketball. Sure, the U.S. hoops team has won gold in 12 of the last 14 Olympics, but it could manage only a bronze in 2004. And it has won just three of 14 World Championships, the last one coming in 1994. Granted, the U.S. hasn't always sent its A-teams to those championships (Athletes In Action represented the U.S. in 1978 -- and finished fifth). But in 2002, on U.S. soil, the George Karl-coached World Championship roster was stacked with NBA stars ... and finished an embarrassing sixth. Colangelo is tired of embarrassments (though Kobe Bryant's recent decision to undergo knee surgery, relayed to USA Basketball officials by Bryant's agent, came as a total surprise to Colangelo and Krzyzewski). Colangelo's coaching and player roster is handpicked. His management team was chosen with equal care. This isn't the 1992 Olympic Dream Team. That team was built to annihilate once. Colangelo's program is built, so says his blueprint, to dominate over a long period of time. Wednesday's practices were a nice start, but only a start. Now comes the hard part: winning. Maybe Bantom can help with that. All anyone has to do is ask.
  15. Miguel Tejada to Houston? Miggy possibly on the move? Jul 20 - Though Astros GM Tim Purpura didn't come out and say it, indications are that Houston is interested in acquiring Tejada. "One, I'd like this club to perform more consistently," Purpura said in a report in the Houston Chronicle. "That's our No. 1 objective, to get this club producing and winning together. From there, obviously you have to look at what opportunities come up, what makes sense, and how do you improve your ballclub. It's believed the Orioles are looking for three players, including ones with major league experience. Orioles owner Peter Angelos has little interest in trading his All-Star shortstop, according to a report in the Los Angeles Times. He told the Baltimore Sun he would have to be blown away by an offer. An executive told the Sun that the Orioles would want a top-of-the-rotation starter and high-level prospects for Tejada. The Angels apparently made a run at Tejada in June and hoped to move him to third base. But the Orioles reportedly wanted right-hander Ervin Santana, second baseman Howie Kendrick and reliever Scot Shields in return. __________________
  16. What are some of the worst games you've been to or played in?
  17. Oswalt takes small shot at rest of team and rightfully so Quote after yesterdays loss to the Cubs Oswalt, who hasn't won since June 14, was working with a slim 1-0 lead when he gave up a three-run homer to Phil Nevin in the fourth inning. In Oswalt's mind, that was the ballgame. "I think as soon as he hit the home run, I felt the game was over," he said. "[At] 3-1, we'd usually have a tough time getting back into the game. It was a pretty good blow when he hit the home run." The astros ship is sinking fast folks. i wanna believe they can pull it out put i don't see the same fire this year as i did this time last year.

  19. From Jayt es, Cameron Lacour did start WR/DB for Humble JV football and Varsity track as a freshman. I dont know about other districts, but in Humble there is a Freshman A and B team, Sophmore, and JV team,and Lacour made JV. As far as the RB Jeremy Braden, he severly pulled his hamstring. On the topic of Colbert, I just dont trust him, alot of people have picked PAM the last three years to go deep in the playoffs, but his coaching held them back. Now I think I need to address the people who call Atascocita a JV team. Here is a list of people who was gonna play Varsity football for Humble this upcoming season: QB Daniel Tatman {6'3 195 4.9 Junior} RB Jeremy Braden{5'9 165 4.38 Junior} WR/DB Cameron Lacour {5'10 185 4.4 Sophmore} WR/DB Brandon Richardson {5'11 195 4.5 Junior} TE Keith Gallon {6'8 305 5.0 Sophmore} OL Zach George { 6'2 300 5.8 Junior} LB/DE Jamarquis Thomas {6'1 230 4.8 Junior} LB Josh Auzenne {6'2 205 4.7 Junior} LB Christian Perez {6'2 190 4.7 Junior}

Hey bro I hope you are right about Atascocita due to the fact that I think the world of Coach Q and Briggs. Coach Wilson is a very good man from what I hear. I have not met Coach Colbert but you have to give him a chance. I only root for the teams on your side of the Lake because my kids played bb and baseball with them over the years. Plus I coached or against many of them in the Aba.
  21. That's one i can't wait to see.
