There is something brewing in the Garveys dugout lately, and it spells victory for the Garveys and pain for their opponents. After dropping 5 in a row earlier this season, the Garveys look a lot like the team that won the Batbreaker Series last year, actually they look a lot better<\/em>. The Garveys blanked the formidable Jerk Fuzzballs in Sunday\u2019s game, without a single hit from major power-provider Justin Bour. In fact, each position player besides Bour had a hit with most also contributing an RBI as well!<\/p>\n

\u201cYou know, it was a Batbreaker Series re-match, and we showed up to play\u201d said the recently acquired outfielder Lorenzo Cain \u201cand I really brought the pain today\u201d he said with a smile.<\/p>\n

\u201cJB (Bour) was the leader out there today\u201d said teammate Byron Buxton \u201cman, he was making calls while he was up to bat telling runners to go and stuff, then on D he was telling all of us where to play for each pitch and for each count \u2013 it worked man, they was hittin\u2019 em right at us. That dude knows his stuff\u201d. \u0086\u0086\u0086\u0086\u0086\u0086\u0086<\/p>\n

\u201cJustin looked really good out there today\u201d added Garvey second baseman and fan favorite Whit Merrified \u201ceven though his box score doesn\u2019t show it, his uniform was very crisp and clean. He looked like a real fan favorite today.\u201d<\/p>\n

Bour was his usual humble self \u201d It was a real team effort, and it should be a wake up call to the rest of the league that America\u2019s Team is back! It was really, really nice to blank them on their home turf, I felt like we got a partial refund for the pummeling we took earlier this year from them.\u201d<\/p>\n

Garveys opener Phil Hughes got the team off on the right foot and even contributed offensively with an RBI base hit. \u201cHughsey was on fire today, he ran into a bit of trouble but was able to get out of it\u201d said Garveys catcher Garver \u201cI thought he could pitch the whole game but Steve\u2019s the man \u2013 he probably saw something I didn\u2019t\u201d continued Garver.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur bullpen was exceptional today\u201d said Steve Garvey, manager of the Garveys \u201cPhil gave us five solid innings, but I could tell he was getting tired. Iggy and Trev were solid, and of course AJ was lights out. I couldn\u2019t be more proud of those guys\u201d added Garvey.<\/p>\n

The Garveys meet the red-hot Need Chickens next.<\/p>\n
