Red is a young Trainer from Pallet Town who is on his way to see Professor Oak in order for him to begin his Pokémon Journey. He bumps into someone who he immediately recognizes as Green and Green immediately recognizes him as well. It turns out that both of them are Trainers who are about to begin their journey. They end up becoming rivals and race to Professor Oak's lab. On his way to the lab, Red encounters a giant Nidoran♂ who warns him to watch out for them as they are monsters. The male Nidoran breathes fire on Red when Red laughed at the advice. Red then encounters a violent male Clefairy and together they defeat the giant Nidoran♂ by accident. Red heads to the lab with Clefairy following him only to find out that Green got there first. After Green chose his Pokémon, Red noticed that Clefairy followed him to the laboratory. He chooses to travel with the Clefairy because he finds his antics amusing. Red is then given a Pokédex from Professor Oak and is sent on a quest to find out more about Pokémon.
Later, he goes with Clefairy to Viridian Forest in order to accomplish his goal. Both of them get hungry in the middle and Red runs off to get him and Clefairy some coconuts. Red and Clefairy finish their coconuts and continue their journey. They encounter a Mewtwo along with various wild Pokémon there in different appearances, such as the three-eyed Persian, who end up laughing at the young Trainer. Red battles Mewtwo using Clefairy but Clefairy attacked an unknown Bug-type, in the form of a Diglett, instead of Mewtwo. As the creature was weakened, Red throws a Poké Ball at it and catches it. With the creature caught, Red targets Mewtwo as his next capture and gets determined to capture it. Due to his inexperience with catching Pokémon, Red just throws a bunch of Poké Balls which all bounce off of Mewtwo. Red then uses Clefairy to battle it but it was easily able to defeat Clefairy by kicking him off a cliff. Red runs off to the Pokémon Center, promising revenge with the forest Pokémon. Red met up with Green briefly while Clefairy was put inside a healing tank. Both Trainers compare their amount of captures to each other with Green being the victor. During Clefairy's operation, Red's Poké Ball containing the unknown Bug-type drops as the treatment got disrupted earlier. The unknown Bug-type gets released with Red chasing after it.
Red arrives in Pewter City and does some sightseeing, and stops by an ice cream shop to tell Clefairy about a way to get stronger. Clefairy got excited about this and followed Red to the Pewter Gym. Outside the Gym, Red noticed that Green was easily beaten. Red and Clefairy meet Brock who tells them that they'll be an easy challenge and heads inside the Gym. Red goes inside and tours around Brock's collection. During the Gym Battle, Red used Clefairy against Brock's Onix when Clefairy noticed his cousin trapped. Red won when Clefairy drew a picture of himself on Onix's tail and then smashes a falling pillar on it. Red is rewarded the Boulder Badge and the Pikachu from Brock's collection which was Clefairy's cousin that was trapped. Pikachu was willing to join Red on his adventures and zaps him, which did not make Red happy.
After the Gym battle, Red camps out and learns of a Moon Stone from Clefairy in order to properly evolve him. Red goes to Mt. Moon to get one and bumps into a Snorlax who tells him and his Pokémon that Misty has one of them. The group go to their next destination, Cerulean City, where they meet Misty who was the Gym Leader at the Cerulean Gym. Red battles her using his Clefairy and manages to defeat her Blastoise. With the battle won, Misty gives him the Moon Stone but a Mew flies off with it. Red and Green, who wanted to find Mew, go on the search for it, with Misty staying behind. Red and Green arrive at an abandoned water mill. Inside, Red and the others notice a secret room that Pikachu found hidden under the floorboards which contained a hidden laboratory. A man in the form of a leopard named Bill appears and introduces himself to Red and the gang. Bill's wife, who was the Mew and the one responsible for taking the Moon Stone explains to them about how one of the experiments caused them to be that way forever. Red and the group watch Bill and his wife change back into humans thanks to the Moon Stone and one of the machines. However, Bill's human appearance was too hideous for Red and Green so they ran away from him and the lab with their Pokémon.
Red goes inside Diglett's Cave after a rice ball of his fell and rolled inside. This took him to Vermilion City. Inside, Red meets up with Green has a talk with Professor Oak about his progress via computer. He leaves the Pokémon Center and notices the S.S. Anne and a bunch of Water-type Pokémon. Instead of riding on the Water-type Pokémon, he goes fishing. During fishing, Lt. Surge appeared from the S.S. Anne and made a speech. Due to Lt. Surge being a Gym Leader, Red goes on board and gets prepared for a battle with him. He uses both Clefairy and Pikachu to take on his Voltorb/Electrode and wins. After the battle, the S.S. Anne gets destroyed when Clefairy sent Lt. Surge's Electrode in the ship's cannons.
Red and his Pokémon arrived in Lavender Town where it was raining. They kept running until they arrived in a mansion. Inside, the mansion had some burial grounds which Red did not want Clefairy to touch. They stumble across a Gastly that had special powers which were used to lift Clefairy in the air. With the Gastly warded away, two people who are the parents of a Trainer named Blue arrive. The father tells them a joke which temporarily makes the group laugh. Deep in the mansion, Red meets Blue, a Trainer who lives there. Red explains to Blue about the storm while looking at the blue item collection. When Clefairy destroyed his collection, Blue was consumed of hatred towards Red and became his rival. Blue then has a battle with Red. During the battle, Blue uses the Silph Scope in order to identify Gengar's movements. Clefairy notices it and takes it away from him. Red now has the upper hand. After the battle, Red tries to cheer him up but gets chased out by Blue.
Red goes to a department store where he witnessed a robbery led by a Machoke. The Machoke evolves into a Machamp and Red tries catching it and was successful after many throws. He goes hitchhiking and gets run over by a truck after getting blinded by Pikachu's electricity. Red and his Pokémon arrive in Celadon City and go in the Celadon Game Corner. He met up with Green and pulled off a win in the slots when his Pikachu pulled off a win. Red played many more games with Pikachu winning them all. Due to their large amount of winnings, Red stayed over in a mansion. As this attracted the attention of the manager, Giovanni, who was also the Team Rocket boss, his Hitmonlee snatched Pikachu while Red and Clefairy were playing outside in the backyard. Red noticed this immediately and goes after Hitmonlee as he refused to give back Pikachu to Red. Red and Clefairy get lured into a trap, a wrestling ring. In the location, Red motivates Clefairy to win to get Pikachu back. During the match, Red was able to get Pikachu while Clefairy was fighting Hitmonlee. After stopping Giovanni, Red then confesses to his Pokémon about his winnings which made the Pokémon chase after him for blowing up the savings.
In a jungle, Red crosses the river and his boat gets burned by Green's Charmander. He retreats to an island of Grass-type Pokémon. On the island, he goes inside a building that turned out to be flat on the inside. Afterwards, he builds a boat but was unsuccessful. Red goes inside a house standing ontop a tree trunk to sleep over but Venusaur who was inside the plant kicks them out. Erika shows up and is introduced to Red. Red battles Erika's Venusaur and beats her. Erika stayed with Red, seeing how strong he is. She explained to him that her father, the Silph Co. president, was taken hostage by Giovanni. Red and Erika get off the island and head back to the mainland. They go inside a limousine and head to Silph Co. in order for Erika to rescue her father. The four hide inside Venusaur when some Team Rocket Grunts come by but the group was exposed after Clefairy passed gas. They were able to avoid the grunts and climb up the building. The group get inside and Giovanni shows up with Erika's father. After Clefairy defeated Giovanni's Hitmonchan, Red witnessed him create multiple copies of Porygon with a device that Silph made. The Porygon were impossible to beat as there was too many copies of them to deal with. Pikachu finds the weakness to the device and shocks it, which resulted it in getting destroyed.
Red is given a Master Ball from Professor Oak, who tells him the story of Articuno. This led Red into going to the Seafoam Islands. Red meets up with Green after a fiery welcome from Charizard. When they arrived at the den, Articuno was very tough to deal with as it froze many opponents that faced it. With Green and Charmander frozen, it was up to Red. With the help of his Clefairy and Pikachu, Red manages to capture Articuno. Red leaves Seafoam Islands and arrives in the Kanto Safari Zone. He and his Pokémon have fun inside and then go out on their excursion where the Safari Zone Ranger gave them a tour around the Safari Zone. Red goes inside a vehicle that was recently rebuit by his Pokémon and saw a Nidoran♀ that attracted his attention. He threw some bait in order for the female Nidoran to come over but Clefairy touched the bait which made the Nidoran♀ flee. Red does the same for another one and threw a rock at her which caused the other one to flee. The group encountered a Tauros, in which Red catches him. The group arrive at a dead end which contained a secret laboratory. After Clefairy blew up the steel door, Red goes to the secret laboratory which had some ancient Pokémon. They are stopped by the Safari Zone Ranger and some park staff, and they release the ancient Pokémon. However, Red was safe when the Ranger's pill that made Pokémon grow giant landed in Clefairy's mouth, which resulted in the Safari Zone getting destroyed and Red was temporarily given a job to host Clefairy as a giant.
Red faced a challenge from Koga where he hired a Chansey torturer to kidnap the Chansey. The challenge was tough as Red had to go through his Grimer and Koffing. The Chansey manage to escape using their strength and Koga is defeated. Later, Red has a race with his rival, Blue, to the department store to get a flying machine. Unfortunately, Red dealt with two members of a motorcycle gang. Blue had his Blastoise trip them whereas Red did all of the work. As the duo kept Red busy, Blue managed to get the flying machine. Giovanni and his twin brother return to have revenge on Red. They plan on using Ditto to disguise itself as Red's Clefairy. However, in a food-eating contest, the plan did not work as Ditto got too full and reverted back to its original form. Red participated in many competitions such as, the No. 1 Pokémon contest, the sports meet, Baseball Tournament and a swimming race.
Red and his Pokémon hung out in a food place in Cinnabar Island and gets a call from Professor Oak. He tells the group to come see him in a museum. They arrived in the museum and Professor Oak gave them a tour around introduced them to his friend, who owns the Eevee that he used to have. During a battle between Eevee and Red's Pokémon, Red threw his Pokémon the necessary stone for them to evolve and fight Eevee and its evolutions. He watches in awe as Clefable, which evolved from Clefairy, defeated a Flareon. After the battle, both of Red's Pokémon returned to their original stages. Red meets with Blaine and challenges him to a Pokémon quiz. The quiz will have Blaine send out a Pokémon everytime Red gets it wrong. As Red got many answers to the quiz wrong, Blaine sent out many Pokémon. In the end of the quiz, his Clefairy battled Blaine's Arcanine which made them both stuck in cement. Later, Red was still traveling and noticed Green with his Charmander. He does a race with Red to a mansion. Green already went inside and Red did not go inside until a door to the mansion opened by itself. Inside the mansion, Clefairy unlocks a secret room hidden in a bookshelf and it took the group there. The mansion happened to be Giovanni's as he kidnapped Bill in order to finish the creation of Mewtwo and tied up Bill's wife, Green and his Charmander. Red tries to stop the creation from happening but Giovanni uses his Meowth to prevent them from interfering.
With the fiasco over, Red dresses up for the holiday spirit. During the holidays, he cheered up a depressed Cubone with the help of his Pokémon. He goes to a playground for Pokémon where it was run by the Pokémon Fan Club President of Kanto. Just then, Red had to deal with Giovanni, his Hitmonlee and Hitmonchan, and his Meowth. Red watched on as his Clefairy fought the Hitmons. With the Hitmons chased away, Red made a christmas tree for the Fan Club President since he was depressed as well as a cake, in which Meowth placed a Voltorb inside. After the Voltorb exploded, the Fan Club President chases Red and his Pokémon. Red goes to an amusement park which was also built by Giovanni. Inside, Giovanni immediately notices the trio and has his Pokémon try to get rid of them. Red goes on a ride which sent the trio far away and into a Blastoise, who blasts them through a rock pillar. Giovanni laughs at them for the pain but gets shocked too by Pikachu.
Red arrived in Professor Oak's house where he plays some games with Green, Blue and Giovanni while they celebrate the New Year. He plays with them some Japanese card games first. Later, he goes outside in order to play Japanese paddle ball. The final game was a race down the hill. With the race done, Red, Green, Blue, Giovanni and Professor Oak relax in a hot tub without Clefairy. After the New Year games, Red arrived in Viridian City and goes to the Pokémon League gate. He steps on a floor revolver and bumped into a Snorlax. Red notices a Machop and Machoke being given a hard time by Machamp. Red tries talking to it but Machamp punches Clefairy. Giovanni and his twin brother show up and Giovanni reveals to him that he is the final Gym Leader of the region. Red follows the two brothers inside. They go on a revolving floor which took them to a colosseum but Giovanni wanted Red to go to the house next to it. Inside, Red dealt with his Rhydon and Nidoking. Red managed to defeat them with Clefairy and Pikachu but as Clefairy dressed up as a Nidoqueen, it caused some problems as Nidoking ended up chasing him which destroyed the place.
After getting all eight badges, Red has finally got through the Pokémon League gate. However, he could not get across an ocean until he noticed a guy with the boat. Both individuals manage to get on with their Pokémon. As Clefairy was reluctantly left behind, he swam to the boat and held on to a surfboard that Pikachu was riding. The boat moved faster when Clefairy was sent flying in the air and lifted it which sent Red and the others crashing on a rock, unharmed. Red has finally arrived in Victory Road. He goes inside with the help of a Machamp Clefairy gets. While inside, an elf-like character and his Kabutops battle Red. Before the battle can be finished, a Moltres appears. During the battle between Kabutops and Moltres, Red gets buried under the rubble of Victory Road when Clefairy destroyed it by using the rocks to stall Moltres.
Red goes to Indigo Plateau and inside, he gets congratulated by Professor Oak and his assistants for getting this far. Afterwards, he goes shopping inside and while paying the cashier, a number ball comes out and Red gets told which room he should go in first. Red entered room 1 and meets Lorelei who was under the guise as a teacher. The real battle began after Lorelei pulled off her disguise. After the battle, Lorelei congratulates Red for a good battle and when multiple Pikachu were thawing Clefairy out of the ice, it caused too many problems that a fire occurred and both Red and Lorelei run out of there screaming. Red then goes to a restaurant where his Clefairy tasted some food and did not like it. He was given a choice of doors to go through. He went inside one and meets Bruno who calls on him in order to do some training with him. Red meditated under a waterfall and inside a dojo with Bruno and his Hitmons. Bruno then goes on the offensive and battles with Red's Pokémon with Clefairy being able to outsmart them all and gets caught inside Onix's rocky body.
Red goes to the luxury liner where Agatha awaits their arrival since she was interested in Clefairy. Agatha befriends Red for a little bit in order to get to Clefairy. After stuffing Clefairy up, she finally goes for Clefairy and Red did not notice this until the luxury liner was filled with water. Unfortunately, the blood Agatha sucked out of Clefairy was not tasty and she threw it out of her mouth. The blood in the form of Clefairy grew big and sunk the luxury liner with Red getting upset at Clefairy. Going on shore, the trio have a campfire and its gets disrupted by a space shuttle. The astronaut inside was none other than Professor Oak who wants the group to go in outer space. Professor Oak sends then to a space shuttle and go off in outer space. Red and his Pokémon land in a planet where most of the buildings were destroyed and it was a mess. Only one building not like the others ones remains and Red goes there. Lance stands atop of that building and meets Red. After Clefairy fell off a ladder by being pushed off, Lance battles Red and while Red was able to defeat Gyarados and Aerodactyl rather easily, his Dragonite was proven to be very tough for him to handle. As a result, Red and his Pokémon retreat to their shuttle and become relieved once inside. However, Lance and Dragonite managed to get inside but Dragonite had trouble breathing. Clefairy opened the doors to get Lance and Dragonite to leave. Doing so forced some winds from space to get inside and Red and his Pokémon were holding on to the shuttle. As the shuttle landed on Earth rapidly, Red and the group, save for Lance and Dragonite, get caught in the debris of the shuttle.
Later, Red boards a plane to Giovanni's mansion in order to get 10 billion yen for Professor Oak. Red arrives and Green tags along. With the help of a Magnemite in the mansion, the two manage to get to the vault containing a large amount of money. However, they get caught by Giovanni, his twin brother and Team Rocket. Red asks Giovanni how they got caught and points out that it was Clefairy when he posed at the security camera. Red blamed Clefairy for this. During the ensuing fight between Clefairy and Giovanni's Hitmons, Pikachu opens the vault to the large amount of cash and Red and Green get inside. Giovanni and his twin brother trap them inside by closing the vault. Both Red and Green managed to escape when their Pokémon worked together to blow up the place.
Red crosses a desert and gets exhausted and dehydrated until Green and his Charizard show up. As Green refused to play the role of destroying a village, Red deals with Lance and Dragonite once more as they volunteered to play the role. Red was almost able to defeat Lance until Dragonite mentions that Lance was its savior. Red felt touched by this after Dragonite told the story about how they met. However, after Red found out that the whole thing was made up, he chased Lance and Dragonite as they both go to Lance's Dragonite's parents to reunite.
The group gets caught in the rain and a guy takes them to a mansion where they re-encounter an old foe from before that Giovanni and Bill created and then released, Mewtwo. Red witnesses Clefairy's DNA getting switched with a Rattata and Mewtwo. After his DNA got switched back, Red and his Pokémon ran away from the mansion. Red goes to a Pokémon Zoo built by Professor Oak where he takes care of the Pokémon there. His Clefairy was successful in entertaining the Pokémon. One night, Red breaks in the zoo to get the Pokémon out of there. He gets noticed by Professor Oak and Clefairy tripped on a hidden pipe which set the place ablaze as he was holding a torch.
Red goes to a fitness gym where unbeknownst to him at first, it was ran by Giovanni. After finding out his scheme where his Hitmons became fat, Red chases him for scamming him out of 100 billion. Red boards another plane to go to Hawaii. He goes on a vacation there on a beach and meets up with Green who competes with him a soccer match. Later, a Trainer who was very similar to Red decides to commit evil deeds in front of the town Red was entering in. As the real Red arrived, the whole town started to dislike him. The imposter Red reveals himself as Yellow and using their Pikachu, they battle. The battle was a draw when Clefairy called over some Blastoise and they formed a big wave which swallowed the group whole.
While Red went fishing, his Clefairy fishes a Squirtle who tells Red that he was bullied by Giovanni's Pokémon and wants to get tougher. Red watches on as Clefairy coached Squirtle and was proud of it when it knocked Clefairy in the air. Red arrived in Giovanni's mansion and Squirtle demands a battle with Giovanni. At first, Squirtle had the upper hand due to the training but when Hitmonlee made it cry, Squirtle's tears caused a flood in the mansion which caught Red in it. Red arrived in a town and heard the news about Team Rocket collecting many Voltorb. Red heads over to the launching center and witnesses Team Rocket putting in their Voltorb inside a missile. Red dresses up in an army outfit and boards a helicopter. He gets close to a truck containing the missile and shoots a missile at a bridge but it was too late as the truck already got to the other side of the bridge. Red has arrived in the launching site where Team Rocket has already prepared the missile to get launched. Red goes up to the missile and his Clefairy cutter the wire to disable the launch. The Voltorb are freed and the group gets recognized for stopping the destruction. As a Jynx sings on stage and panic occurs, Red gets hired to be Jynx's bodyguard. He finds the source of panic and notices nothing was there. However, Red gets a call from Giovanni that he will blow up the place using a bomb until he gets a lot of money. In the main room, Red notices a guy with a funny nose which comes off and reveals himself to be Giovanni. He deduced the fact that the bomb was hidden inside a piece of chicken. However, by the time they found it, the bomb exploded which destroyed the building they were in and sent them flying. In order to make up for the damage, Red forms his own band and puts in some songs in CDs, in which multiple copies are made.
Red returns to Cinnabar Island and reunites with Blaine. Blaine tells him about a tournament in the Pokémon Dome where the strongest Trainers await. Red is given a Meowth from Blaine and Clefairy calls over Arcanine, Primeape and Pidgey as Red's main pals could not handle the tournament on their own. Blaine wishes Red luck and Red runs off to the Pokémon Dome. In the dome, Red met up with his rivals and Blue shows him a tray of Poké Balls in order to put his Pokémon in to until their match began. Red puts the Pokémon inside their Poké Balls. His first opponent was Blue where he went up against his Raichu and Blastoise. After both of them got subdued, he sent out his trump card which was the gag Mewtwo. Red kept out Clefairy and after a battle of gags, Red came out on top. His next opponent was his main rival, Green. Both sides used six Pokémon and after they both got beaten, Green sent out his Onix and Misty gave Red her Togepi. Despite Togepi not knowing any physical moves, its tears flooded the whole battlefield and with Red as well. After the tournament, Red and Green go to Professor Oak's office. They go back in time and a Charizard chases the group. Red's prehistoric self saves them by throwing a rock at Charizard. He takes them to the ancient Pokémon and they have an ensuing battle with Kabutops taking Pikachu hostage. Since Professor Oak agrees to take them on his time machine, Pikachu was released. Afterwards, Red and the group go back to the present.
Later, Red is given a mission by Professor Oak to go to the islands to get the three orbs to awaken Lugia. Red goes with Green and Blue to the islands and they are stopped by the legendary birds. Red battles them and obtains their orbs each. As he was about to meet Lugia, Clefairy messes things up by breaking the orbs and summoning a Jynx instead of Lugia. Red, Green and Blue blame this on Clefairy and he dresses up as a Lugia in order to pretend that the summoning of Lugia was a success. Red returned to Pallet Town and was proud to be back home. At first, the town seemed empty when he returned and then cheering went on. The citizens show up and were proud of Red's accomplishments, especially Professor Oak. Professor Oak drives Red around while the citizens still cheered him on. Just when Red was getting comfortable, Giovanni appears on the television screens, informing the town of a missile launch that already happened. Red watches as Clefairy launches one of his own and becomes saddened when Clefairy gave up his own life to stop the firing of Team Rocket's missile. After both missiles exploded, Red becomes officially sad and walks home.
With Clefairy still gone, Red decides to go fishing and puffs up. He notices a motorcycle from the distance and it was none other then Clefairy. Red was happy to see him. He noticed that Clefairy carried a bag containing a Marill. Due to Marill being a new species, he ran to Johto to find out.
Red arrived in New Bark Town and goes inside the lab there. Professor Oak gets a visit from him and introduces him to Gold, Silver and Professor Elm. Red is given an upgraded Pokédex from Professor Oak and a Pokégear. Professor Elm then gives Red an Egg. He promises his two new friends, Gold and Silver, luck on their journeys as they set off. While journeying in Johto, Red gets a call from Professor Oak that a Chikorita was stolen and both wondered who would do such thing. Inside the house, Professor Oak plays the recording of the theft of Chikorita and Red deduces the fact that it wasn't Gold or Silver who stole the Chikorita. As Professor Elm came by, Red is shown an image of Clefairy being responsible even though Clefairy was innocent. Afterwards, Red and his Pokémon go searching for the missing Chikorita and find it in an alley. The mysterious Trainer also appears in the alley and reveals himself to Red as the one responsible for taking Chikorita. Red battles Chikorita since it was not willing to give up its Trainer. However, as Pikachu took it out with Thunderbolt, the mysterious Trainer reveals himself to be none other than Green and explains to Red the situation with Chikorita. After Green told the story, Chikorita allows Red to get it returned to Professor Oak's.
He and his Pokémon are running to the next town until they encounter a kid who was recently beaten by Silver. Red asks him how he lost to Silver and the kid shows Red his Donphan who would constantly sleep. Red goes up to the Donphan to get it to become less lazy. He and the kid go on it for a ride and they crash into a wall, and reunite with Silver and his Totodile. Upset at Silver for insulting Donphan's Trainer, Red battles him with Clefairy. Clefairy runs off and gets a go-cart made of Donphan which chase Silver and Totodile. Red takes out the Egg that Professor Elm gave him and Pikachu plays with it. Red takes it to the hot springs where it went washing away from the spa. Red and his Pokémon swim for it to get it back but the current was too quick. Luckily for them, Gold managed to get the Egg but he does not return to them right away since he doesn't think that they are good responsible owners. Red battles Gold for ownership of the Egg. Before the battle could finish, a Togepi gets hatched from the Egg and dances with Pikachu, showing that it wants to go with Red.
Red arrived in Violet City and went to the Pokémon academy there. After class, he battled a Sentret who belonged to Earl's assistant. As Red headed to the Violet Gym, a note on the door told him that the Gym Leader, Falkner, went to the Sprout Tower, so he goes there instead. Inside, he speaks to one of the Sages when he was meditating. One of the pillars in Sprout Tower shakes and Red was curious about it so the Sage told Red to go find out himself as the Sage was busy. Clefairy noticed a shadowy figure in Sprout Tower which was Falkner. Falkner battles Red using his Natu and even though Natu had some sneaky moves up its sleeve, it was beaten by Red's Clefairy, with Clefairy rounding up the Bellsprout. The Sage from before uses his powers to bring a giant Bellsprout to life. Red has his Pokémon attack the giant Bellsprout but it was no use. Red becomes hopeless when Clefairy ran off but became surprised after seeing the other Clefairy with him. After the Clefairy defeated the giant Bellsprout, the Sage throws Red the Zephyr Badge.
Red goes to the Ruins of Alph and a guard from there speaks to him. He wants Red to solve the puzzle and claims that he was not able to do so. As Pikachu was able to solve it, the guard pulls a switch and sends Red and his Pokémon inside the actual Ruins of Alph. Inside, he noticed that various Pokémon there were turned into fossils and Red was afraid that he would become fossilized too. He notices Green and they team up to leave the place. The guard from before shows up and wants Red to stay and have fun. He battles the Unown as they were forming words to mock him and then Green used his Charizard to do the same. The group made their escape when Clefairy hammered one of the pillars but were upset at him for ruining the fun. In Azalea Town, Red meets the Charcoal maker who gives them an onion. He then recommends Red to go to the Azalea Gym. Red walks over to the Azalea Gym while the Charcoal maker stayed behind. In the Gym, he meets Bugsy who was the Gym Leader there. Red hears his story about his Bug-type Pokémon and then battles Red. Red was able to win the battle and earned himself the Hive Badge and some Poké Balls. With their prizes, Red goes to Professor Oak and gives him the Poké Balls, with one of them containing the onion from before.
Traveling in Goldenrod City, Red meets DJ Mary and his Clefairy becomes interested in her. The group goes with DJ Mary when Team Rocket took over the Radio Tower. In the Radio Tower, the Radio Director that DJ Mary thought was real was turned out to be Giovanni in disguise. He battles Red using Spinarak and Ledyba, where Clefairy was able to tie them up when Spinarak used Spider Web. Red cheered on but Giovanni sent out his secret weapon, a Houndour. However, the Radio Director's bald head blinded Houndour. With the Radio Tower back to normal, Red watches Clefairy perform his own gig. Red participated in the winter games with his rivals where in the middle of the race, he and Green deal with a Machamp.
He went to Girls' Town and disguises himself as a woman since men weren't allowed in that town. In the town was a Gym and inside the Gym was a restaurant where Whitney served them milk from her Miltank. However, as Clefairy's cover was blown, Red and the group were taken to the kitchen and Red and Pikachu remove their disguises too. Whitney becomes mad at them for sneaking in. Red tells her that he wants to have a Gym battle and he goes up against her Clefable, which was the childhood friend of Clefairy. Despite being friends, both Pokémon gave it their all and in the end, Red and Clefairy were the winners. Red is given the Plain Badge and gets busted by Whitney when his Clefairy stole tons of food.
Outside, Red noticed that Togepi was acting up and the Pokémon Fan Club Chairman of Johto becomes interested in his Togepi. After a worthwhile decision, Red gives his Togepi to the chairman while Tyrogue stays with Red in return. Red goes to Ecruteak City and lounges around outside the Brass Tower. A Kimono Girl goes up to them and tells them that Bill is here. Red is then shown Bill's invention, the time machine. Red and his Pokémon try it out and Bill presses the button which sends them back in time. In the past, the group explores the Brass Tower and meets a younger Kimono Girl.

Shumpert has a huge chance at Rookie of the Year
Shumpert is no rookie of the year nor Wade 2.0, he's very solid, but you people start overrating him.
Shump for 3!!!!!!!!!! He's gotta have at least 5 steals tonight as well.
Shump = energy and impact
I said it earlier in this thread, multiple times, Bibby is the key.
Lol, start Shumpert at #1 and Bibby at #2!

In Firefox 8.0.1, I see an add-on plug-in called npFFApi with no identifying label for itself in the Firefox add-on window. Several individuals have however suggested that it is in fact part of the Zone Alarm suite.
On the other hand, the Firefox add-on extension called Zone Alarm Security Engine comes with a positively identifying label for Zone Alarm. It says "By www.checkpoint.com" (I believe checkpoint.com is part of the Zone Alarm network).
Since the add-on "Zone Alarm Security Engine" actively identifies itself as being from www.checkpoint.com, I am not sure I trust an add-on like npFFApi that doesn't identify itself at all.
Does anyone know for a fact what npFFApi is? Can someone help us understand what's going on here? Thanks.

Fiery Furcal happy to get off spring schneid
By Joe Frisaro / MLB.com
JUPITER, Fla. -- A bit of frustration set in after Rafael Furcal's second straight hard liner was caught on Wednesday afternoon in the Marlins' 5-2 win over the Mets.
In his first at-bat, Furcal lined out to first base. And in his second at-bat, he threw his hands up in disgust after he stung the ball to right -- for another out.
Finally, in Furcal's third at-bat, he singled to left, giving him his first hit of Spring Training, making him 1-for-7.
"Yesterday, those guys were playing around with me," Furcal said. "'Hey, Rafi, what happened?' I tell them, 'Hey guys, don't hit it where the people are.' I've got to find the hole.
"I'm having fun with my teammates. In my mind, I'm a veteran. I want to go to home plate and have a lot of good, quality at-bats and hit the ball hard."
Furcal, 36, is making the transition from shortstop to second base. One reason the Marlins signed him as a free agent was because of his experience of winning.
The Marlins may be young and they may have lost 100 games last year. But Furcal feels the clubhouse is filled with potential and future All-Stars.
"We have a lot of talent," he said. "The thing is when you want to win, everybody has to be on the same page. Everybody has to be together, 25 guys. Play with the same intensity every day.
"On this team, a lot of guys are going to be All-Star players. You've got [Giancarlo] Stanton. You've got [Christian] Yelich, [Adeiny] Hechavarria, [Marcell] Ozuna. And this guy, [Jose] Fernandez. You've got a lot of good pitching and a lot of young players. They're going to be All-Star guys. I'm so excited to be around and help them as much as I can. We'll see what happens. Everybody is hungry to win."
Stanton, 24, willing to take on leadership role
JUPITER, Fla. -- When you're a buff 6-foot-6, 250-pounder and belt a baseball as far as anyone on the planet, people take notice.
On a youthful Marlins squad, Giancarlo Stanton clearly stands out. Not just because of his massive stature and his threat at the plate, but because he is looked upon to be an example.
The word "leader" to Stanton is empty if it is not backed by action.
Stanton and new catcher Jarrod Saltalamacchia have been tabbed as two of the leaders in Miami's clubhouse.
"A leader isn't self proclaimed," Stanton said. "[Saltalamacchia] shouldn't be answering if he is a leader. I shouldn't be answering if I'm a leader. You're a leader because of the person you are and how you carry yourself. Not by your performance or all that. You may be looked up to because of your performance, but you're not a leader just by that. There are other things that go into it."
Even though he is still young at 24, Stanton is the most-tenured Marlin of any regular.
"I've been here the longest, so obviously, people are going to look up to me in that role too," Stanton said. "It's the little things. Rather than, 'Hey, here's my leader stamp. Here's my tattoo.' Now, what am I going to do about it?"
What Stanton has been doing is speaking up when he has to. He isn't normally a big vocal guy, but the right fielder is telling teammates what he feels needs to be said.
"I'm more vocal, for sure, about things," Stanton said. "I'm not vocal about myself, I'm vocal about what we do. I like helping from what knowledge I have.
"You help out. You've got to be more vocal. If you see someone's swing [is off], don't step on toes, but say, 'Hey, I did that too.' Or you help with ground balls in the outfield, or if someone is not doing what they're supposed to, take care of it."
After losing 100 games last year, the Marlins are looking to go through a cultural change. One theme is to make fewer bold predictions and perform on the field.
Thus far, the team is unite, and the energy level is high.
"It's more of a team, and not a bunch of individuals walking around in a forced environment," Stanton said. "It's something that needs to continue once adversity happens. But the way we're going about it is the way winning teams go about it."
High pitch count leads to short outing for Eovaldi
JUPITER, Fla. -- A high pitch count led to an earlier departure than Nathan Eovaldi was anticipating, but it didn't sour the right-hander's overall day.
Eovaldi, projected as the Marlins' No. 2 starter, was initially scheduled to throw three innings on Thursday against the Red Sox at Roger Dean Stadium.
But in the first inning, the hard-throwing right-hander got into a bind, needing 36 pitches to get out of a bases-loaded jam.
Even though he didn't allow a run, the Red Sox did their job, making Eovaldi work. The righty's second inning went much more smoothly, as he needed just 13 pitches to retire the side in order.
After logging 49 pitches, Eovaldi's afternoon was finished after two scoreless innings. He struck out four and allowed one hit.
Eovaldi's day was pretty much dictated by his laboring first inning.
"The 36 pitches in the first inning killed that," he said of pitching into the third inning. "I got the guys 0-2, and I tried to do too much with my offspeed pitches and my fastball. I was trying to be too fine, trying to make the nasty pitches. Ended up going 2-2, full count. Guys were fouling them off after they'd seen multiple pitches."
In terms of life on his pitches, Eovaldi was strong. His fastball in the first inning was between 96-98 mph. He threw four changeups, a pitch he is trying to develop. One of them plunked Ryan Lavarnway in the wrist in the first inning.
The second inning was a breeze, as Eovaldi struck out Bryce Brentz and ended his afternoon by striking out Heiker Meneses.
"The second inning was a lot better," Eovaldi said. "As opposed to trying to make it on the corner, or off the plate. Just think down. If it's over the middle, just think down, in the strike zone."
Marlins don't plan to get shift-happy with infield
JUPITER, Fla. -- Advanced defensive metrics continue to grow throughout the Major Leagues, and some teams rely so heavily on the data that they are constantly adjusting infielders all over the diamond.
The Marlins saw a heavy shifting team on Monday when the Astros were at Roger Dean Stadium. Repeatedly, Houston shifted its second baseman over second whenever the right-handed-hitting Ty Wigginton stepped into the box. Once, Wigginton found the hole on a ground ball to the second-base side, in a spot that had the second baseman been in his normal spot, he could have made a play.
The Rays shift more than anyone in the game.
The Marlins evaluate all the data and review spray charts, but they aren't ready to become shift-happy. One reason is the organization has Perry Hill as its infield coach. Hill has his own charts and system to put infielders in spots to make plays.
"I just feel like we have the best infield instructor in baseball," manager Mike Redmond said. "This guy has had a system put in place for a long time. I've seen that system work and win a World Series. Will there be guys that we shift? Of course. As we continue to gather information on hitters in the league, for sure. As far as over-shifting, I don't think that will be becoming our philosophy."
Hill's system adjusts the shortstop and second baseman several feet each way, depending on the batter. In the case of some lefty power threats, like Ryan Howard of the Phillies, the Marlins will employ the standard shift, with the second baseman in short right field, and the third baseman either at shortstop or up the middle.
"I think there are certain guys that you shift," Redmond said. "I think everyone knows those guys. I'm not an over-shifter. I know some teams love to shift everybody. The Rays, I know, shift a lot of guys according to how they pitch. I think some of that is good. I've just seen over the course of time that maybe it could get you in more trouble than it helps you, in my opinion.
"We go through spray charts and look at where guys hit the ball. We feel like the system that [Hill] has put our defense in is the best position to make plays. Now, is there going to be a ball that goes through the hole that maybe we're out of position on? Of course. But that happens when you shift. I guess it's just philosophy. Some people like to over-shift, and they feel like that gives them the best chance, defensively."
Worth noting
• The lack of Major League experience in the Red Sox's lineup on Thursday raised some eyebrows at Roger Dean Stadium, and may not have sat well with the Marlins. Just two of the position players in the starting lineup -- Jackie Bradley Jr. and Ryan Lavarnway -- had previously appeared in big league games. MLB guidelines state teams should have a minimum of four players who are regulars or have platooned the previous season.
A blog in the South Florida Sun-Sentinel quoted a source claiming Marlins executives were "outraged" and planned on contacting the league office. However, through a team spokesman, president of baseball operations Michael Hill relayed the Marlins have no issue with Boston's travel roster. And Miami has no plans on making any protest to MLB.
Asked about the Red Sox's lineup after Thursday's 0-0 tie in a game halted because of rain, Redmond said: "I don't know their travel schedule, but I know that we were trying to get our work in. It's probably a better question for [Boston manager] John Farrell."
Said Farrell: "In writing? It's strongly suggested, and yet you deal with travel, you deal with availability of players, you deal with what we're trying to get done. Today is an enormous workday for our entire infield with [coach] Brian [Butterfield] back at home. We earmarked this day on the calendar to do just that. The integrity of the game and for what the fans are going to come and see, we certainly take that into account, but our team is the priority, the individual needs guys have. That's where we are."
• Carlos Marmol is back in camp after being gone since last Saturday to tend to some visa issues in the Dominican Republic. The reliever threw off the mound on Thursday, and he is scheduled to pitch in a game on Sunday.
• Henry Rodriguez is scheduled to make his Grapefruit League debut on Saturday.

Camp Muir
man she is relentless.... I should catch her near the end of this month or early May but darn it! She just won't stop.
Past her today! .Hopefully she's in the rear view mirror from here on in.
under a rock
Good job!
I have a few more miles to gain back before I catch that rodent again. Started off ahead of the bunny early this year but injury and some illness took me down just enough to let the bunny slip past..
Run Fastah 2018
I've got a long road ahead of me to catch her. This was one hell of a winter that dragged on and I don't even know if I'll be able to catch her or not.
(ETA: I see I need 116 miles a month from now until the end of the year. I've never maintained that high mileage. Debating leaving the group so this might be my last post in here.)
"Don't feel like running today...suck it up and run ...you're an athlete." (John Stanton, founder & owner of The Running Room)
Three half marathons later, I got a number. Half Fanatic #9292. :)
Shirtless wonder
Don't leave, use it as a challenge. Two years ago I had injury and forced to rest most of summer. But I still managed to get close. I knew I would not make 1000, but it still was a goal/incentive to try.
If you don't make it, at least you gave it your all. No dishonor there. So don't give up because you won't get to 1000 this year - chase the varmit. Dig deep and keep running. You may surprise yourself.
Nulla camisia et nulla problematum
Injury and then a race debacle re-injury and I'm back behind her again. Slowly making the comeback. :Finally less than 10 miles back. Soon I'll be able to see her just ahead of me during my daily runs.
I started off with the goal of 1000km which considered I spent most of last year injured I thought was resonable. After the hard winter we had, I've caught the 800 mile bunny, but this guy is 150km ahead of me, so I currently hate him and want him shot.
'No matter how slow you go, you're still lapping everyone on the couch'
"Running is a big question mark that's there each and every day. It asks you, 'Are you going to be a wimp or are you going to be strong today?'" - Peter Maher
"Running long and hard is an ideal antidepressant, since it's hard to run and feel sorry for yourself at the same time. Also, there are those hours of clearheadedness that follow a long run." -Monte Davis
See will be in my sights for my long run on Sunday. Pace Bunny - your days ahead of me are numbered.
I've got a long road ahead of me to catch her. This was one hell of a winter that dragged on and I don't even know if I'll be able to catch her or not.

Please don't leave. I have not made the 1000 mile mark for the last 2 years - each year I get closer. Can you make 900 miles?
Running Rev'd
I should catch up to and pass the pace bunny on my long run tomorrow. First time this year I will be ahead of it!
Called to Endure - Blog
"Everyone gets the sunset. Only the dedicated earn the sunrise."
Seems the harder I try to catch up the more she moves. Makes me crazy. If I had not taken time due to injury I would be on. giving up is not an option!
Run, Walk, Crawl, just Finish.
Damn bunny! Does he not have a race season??? I was actually gaining on him til I tapered for 2 HM in September!!
I will have to try again next year, boo!
Missed it this year due to injury in April.. ..Tomorrow starts a new year and off with a bank...Frosty 5K to get it started....Woohoo!

Clap along if you feel that happiness is the truth
Because I'm happy
Clap along if you know what happiness is to you.
– Pharrell Williams, "Happy"
Thanks, Pharrell. As a Grammy-winning, big hat-wearing, record-producing singer songwriter, you probably do know "what happiness is to you," and we're happy for you. But happiness at work is more elusive for the rest of us. Whether you're in your dream job or just working for the paycheck until you can snag something better, there are factors other than the specific content of your work (I'm talking to you, first co-op) that can make happiness your truth.
The happiest employees are those who have certain core needs met: physical comfort, including regular breaks; appreciation for their contributions; flexibility in how to approach their work; and an environment that allows them to focus on their tasks. It's a great idea to try to find out how a company rates in these areas before accepting a job, but it's not always easy. And what do you do if you're already in a job that doesn't put a smile on your face?
Bottom line, your happiness at work is largely up to you. I say largely, because obviously the conditions of your workplace and the people around you have an enormous influence. But you can choose to be an equally enormous influence on your own experience; you can choose to see your situation at work as one that you can change if you don't like it.
The first step is to define for yourself what makes you happy or unhappy at work, then appropriately share this with others. Happiness at work does not require a perfect situation; I doubt that exists. It does require minimizing or changing the bad and amplifying the good.
Are you frustrated with a lack of communication? Ask for more feedback and stay on top of the company's social media. Do you think you're stuck in your position? Seek out opportunities to learn new skills and volunteer for projects and committees. Feeling overwhelmed? Commit to only the amount you can reasonably do, asking your boss to help you prioritize if need be.
Give your happiness project time and change will happen. But if it doesn't, resolve to move on, then turn to your network (and a career counselor) to support and strategize your next move with you. Clap along!

Brothers Yadier and Bengie Molina could be the National League's catchers in the All-Star Game in St. Louis.
"I hope so, man," Yadier told MLB.com. "I hope so. It would be great if he could come here. We could spend two nights together in St. Louis, in the same dugout. Spend the time with him talking. We need it. We've been through a lot of bad things. We need to be together. If that's the case -- and he makes the All-Star Game, and I make the All-Star Game -- we're going to have fun."
The brothers, including not just Yadier and Bengie but also Jose, a catcher with the Yankees, lost their biggest supporter when their father, Benjamin, died last fall.
"My dad helped us in many ways," Bengie said. "He was the one who introduced us to the game. He was the one who taught us how to play and how to play the game correctly and respect the game and respect others in the game. Not only that -- just being a dad and being there for us. He taught us a real big lesson when he woke up at 4:30 every morning and went to work the whole day standing up, until he came back home at 4:30 and went to the field after that -- without hesitating, without arguing, without a doubt. That's how he showed us how to respect the game and respect others."
Rivera hits two milestones: Mariano Rivera got his first career RBI on the same night he earned his 500th career save.
Batting with the bases loaded in the eighth inning against the Mets on Sunday night, Rivera drew a walk on a 3-and-2 pitch to put a run across the plate.
"RBI No. 1 [means] more," he told Newsday about the walk. "It's my first RBI. It's my 500th save. Don't get me wrong, it's definitely special, but I'm a team player. My team fought for me to get the opportunity."
Willingham gets support from ex-teammates: Josh Willingham got support from his former teammates on the Marlins after his younger brother, Jon, was killed in a car crash.
Willingham, who spent three years with the Marlins before joining the Nationals in a trade last November, spent a week on the bereavement list in June after the accident. He and his family spent time with Cody Ross and his family on Monday morning before going to the ballpark.
"It's nice to get support from your friends," Willingham told the South Florida Sun-Sentinel. "I'm fortunate to have a lot of friends, and some are on the Marlins where I played with them with three plus years ... [Coming back to baseball] diverts your mind a little bit, but therapeutic, no. It's good to get back in the swing of things and keep going."
"He's one of my closest friends in the game, and you don't wish that upon anybody," outfielder Cody Ross said. "You don't really know what to say. You just try to reach out and comfort him ... He misses us, and we miss him. He's one of the good ones in the game, but he's enjoying his time over there."
Morgan excited after being traded to Nationals: The Washington Nationals sent Lastings Milledge and Joel Hanrahan to the Pittsburgh Pirates for Nyjer Morgan and Sean Burnett. Morgan becomes Washington's leadoff hitter and center fielder while Burnett becomes a set-up man in the bullpen.
"We addressed two of our biggest needs: athleticism and defensive ability in center field, and a bullpen guy we'll have control over the next three years," acting general manager Mike Rizzo told the Washington Post.
"My thoughts? I'm pretty pumped up, because I'm flattered when you have a team like the Nationals, and they really want you," Morgan said. "I'm almost out of words."
Speier finds balance, and a low ERA: Since May 7, Justin Speier has a 1.50 ERA over 18 appearances for the Angels.
"I feel my stuff is the same, but my location is better, and I'm being more aggressive," Speier told the Los Angeles Times. "It's always nice to do your job."
"I'm not fighting for my livelihood," Speier said. "I work just as hard, whether I'm pitching well or struggling, and I take the good with the bad. I enjoy baseball, but my life is way more than this game. Any time you have balance in your life, you can get through the tough times."
Happ brings no fear with calm approach: J.A. Happ apparently has an "edge" underneath his calm demeanor on the mound.
"Whatever impression I give off when I'm not pitching -- maybe that I'm quiet -- that's not what's going on inside of me," Happ told the Philadelphia Inquirer. "And I try to have a different edge on the mound."
"He's not afraid out there, and he's always been that way since I played with him in the Minors," teammate Cole Hamels said. "He's not afraid to go after hitters or to give up a run. He just doesn't have that fear of what-ifs when he's out there."
No more guitar strumming for Arroyo: For any pitcher, carpal tunnel syndrome can be a big problem. For Bronson Arroyo, who plays the guitar, it's an even bigger issue.
"It's driving me crazy," Arroyo told the Cincinnati Enquirer. "Every single time I get to the hotel room or I'm at the house and it's 2:00 in the morning, I'm irritated because I can't play the guitar. I just can't do it, because it gets numb."
Surgery, he admits, is a possibility.
"Every little thing you do with your fingers, it feels like it's irritating itself," Arroyo said. "I haven't been like I was in Spring Training. The cortisone shot definitely helped, but I'm past that point now. I'm just trying to maintain it the way I am."
Floyd drops ERA to 1.39 in last eight starts: Gavin Floyd continued his hot streak on Monday night, working 7 2/3 shutout innings in the Sox's 6-3 victory over the Indians. Now 4-1 with a 1.39 ERA over his last eight starts, Floyd said after the game that he's confident his run can continue.
"I'm trying to get better, execute better and get more aggressive," Floyd told MLB.com. "I believe in my abilities, and I'm trying to feed off each start."
Haren's numbers tell the tale: Dan Haren leads the NL in ERA (2.25), batting average against (.191), WHIP (0.82) and quality starts (14).
"What can I say, man?" Diamondbacks catcher Miguel Montero told the East Valley Tribune. "That guy's nasty. He's the best pitcher in the big leagues right now."
Haren is also adept at limiting the number of pitches he throws, despite striking out 104 batters this season.
"Five pitches, four pitches, he's off the field," said Texas manager Ron Washington, who coached Haren in Oakland. "Then, next thing you know, it's 7 2/3 innings or eight innings. That's him."
Gaudin throws gems to secure weekly honor: Chad Gaudin of the Padres was named the co-recipient of the National League's Player of the Week award. In two wins last week, he struck out 20 batters in 15 innings and posted a 1.20 ERA.
"I might not have envisioned the success, but I knew I could pitch in the big leagues," Gaudin told the San Diego Union-Tribune. "I knew I could give a team a chance to win every day."
Hot-hitting Borbon gets promotion: The Rangers wasted no time getting Julio Borbon into the starting lineup. Called up from Triple-A Oklahoma City on Monday, Borbon started for the Rangers that night against the Angels. Borbon hit .298 with two home runs, 28 RBIs and 19 steals in 19 games for the RedHawks.
"We had to get another guy up here, and he was the hottest hitter we had down there," manager Ron Washington told the Fort Worth Star-Telegram. "We certainly need some offensive help. We brought him up to see what he's got to offer."
Leadoff spot a perfect fit for Drew: After batting practice on Monday, Red Sox third-base coach DeMarlo Hale told J.D. Drew that he was swinging "like a leadoff hitter."
"That's when I found out I was batting leadoff," Drew told the Boston Herald.
Drew looked more like a cleanup hitter that night, going 3-for-5 with a triple, home run and single in a win over Baltimore. The triple went to left-center field, and the homer easily cleared the fence in center field. When he came to bat in the eighth inning needing a double in order to hit for the cycle, Drew ended up grounding out to second base. The last Boston player to hit for the cycle was John Valentin in 1996.
Drew admitted he was going for the cycle when he came to bat in the eighth inning.
"Absolutely," he said. "There's not a player alive who wouldn't know he needed a double for the cycle in that situation. I was trying to hit a double. I don't know how you try. I was just going to hit the ball and run straight to second."
Ohlendorf sets career mark with eight strikeouts: Ross Ohlendorf pitched seven shutout innings on Tuesday night, striking out a career-high eight in the Pirates' 3-0 win over the Cubs.
"I think, for whatever reason, I felt a little more relaxed today and didn't overthrow," Ohlendorf, now 7-6 on the year, told MLB.com. "I just tried to make good pitches."
"He pitched an awesome game," teammate Andrew McCutchen said. "I was going up and down the dugout saying I wouldn't want to face Ross today with the way he was throwing."
Ethier adds another game-ending blast: Andre Ethier delivered a two-run homer in the 13th inning to lift Los Angeles to a 4-2 win over Colorado on Monday night. It was the outfielder's fourth game-ending hit this season and the seventh since the start of the 2008 season, the most in the Majors.
"You've got to look at those situations and say, 'Why not me?'" Ethier told the Los Angeles Times.
Prado hits his way into starting spot: Martin Prado had a four-hit game to help the Braves to a 5-4 win over the Phillies on Tuesday night. Prado had a home run in the third inning and the game-winning hit in the 10th. Manager Bobby Cox promptly announced that Prado would remain in the lineup.
"He's too hot to take out," Cox told the Atlanta Journal-Constitution.
"Tonight I went out and did my best," said Prado, who has played most of the season with a sore groin that was wrapped with icebags late Tuesday, as it is after every game. "I'm proud for the team, that we won today. ... Whatever the position -- if Bobby wants to keep me in the lineup, that makes me feel really good. I just want to keep playing hard for the team."
Complete game shows Oswalt at his best: Roy Oswalt pitched a complete-game, two-hitter in a 3-1 win over the Padres on Monday night. The right-hander retired the final 18 hitters he faced in order.
"That was a great performance by Roy," Astros manager Cecil Cooper told the Houston Chronicle. "He looked like the Roy you've seen a lot in the past."
