September 1st arrives and we have a really good race. The Expos and Braves are tied for 1st and we are 3 back. Unfortunately, we have no games left with Atlanta and just 3 against the Expos. The new interleague schedule has us playing 3 more with Baltimore and none with the Braves. Oh well.
We just hit NINE home runs in a game at Toronto. Frias, Incavigia and Brown each hit 2 and King, Thon and Wes Shook each hit 1 and we now lead the NL in home runs. With a month to go we have:
Frias-35
Incaviglia-34
King-19
Carlsen-16 (7 for us)
Berroa-14
Erstad-14
Thon-14
Cedeno-12
James-9
Baerga-8
Roosevelt Brown-7 rookie in 96 AB's
Looks like Brown may be a really really good one. In those 96 ABs:
.341/.385/.659 7 hr 5 2b 3 steals 16 rbi 18 runs left field zone rating of 1.6
