Game 118: You would expect a Jake Peavy-Aaron Cook matchup to end up a blowout loss for Cook, and you'd be right. Peavy improves to 17-4 on the season as the Cold Stealers ambush Cook with a five-run fourth inning on the way to a 9-2 victory.

Game 119: Mike Mussina gets his 17th win as well, shutting out the Spectres for seven innings in a 4-0 Cold Stealer victory.

Game 120: Montreal makes the series finale competitve, at least, scoring five runs off Philly starter Josh Johnson, but in the end they lose 8-7 as Ryan Dempster hits a man with the bases loaded in the top of the ninth to drive home the winning run. Mike Gonzalez strikes out all three Montreal batters he faces in the bottom of the inning to preserve the victory.

The Spectres head to New York in last place in the division.

Why have I never heard of this team before?  Are they semi-pro?

They certainly are.

Game 139: Dan Uggla hits two solo home runs to go over the 100-RBI mark for the season, but the story, as usual, is another late-inning collapse by the Montreal bullpen as the Lone Stars score twice each in both the eighth and ninth innings to steal a 6-5 win from the Spectres. Brandon Lyon is the culprit in this one, suffering his seventh blown save.

Game 140: Salomon Torres picks up his seventh blown save, losing a shutout in the ninth, but the Spectres win it in the 11th on Conrad Rush's RBI single, scoring Michael Cuddyer for a 2-1 win.

Game 141: Jeremy Bonderman wins his 15th game, 9-2, as the Spectres get three RBI each from Carl Crawford and Carlos Delgado.

Montreal heads to the West Coast to face San Diego next.

Game 142: Carlos Delgado continues his hot hitting with three more hits, including his 39th home run, driving in four as the Spectres top the Conquistadors 11-4 at Petco.

Game 143: A seesaw battle ends up in San Diego's favor when Ryan Zimmerman singles home Scott Podsesnik in the bottom of the 10th to make it a 7-6 game.

Game 144: Jake Westbrook throws a complete game 2-hitter, walking none, and Carlos Delgado hits two home runs as the Spectres shut out the Conquistadors 11-0. Delgado now has 41 home runs this season.

The Spectres host Milwaukee next.

Game 145: The Bears tie the game in the eighth off Chad Bradford (his second blown save of the year) and win it in the 12th on Olmedo Saenz' two-run homer. Final score: Milwaukee 6, Montreal 4

Game 146: The Spectres are ambushed as the Bears score seven times in the first two innings and cruise to an 11-9 win.

Game 147: Montreal salvages the series finale with a 4-3 win that features Carlos Delgado's 42nd home run and a real live save from Salomon Torres, his fifth.

We're off to Wrigley to face the Bootleggers.

Game 148: Ken Griffey Jr. returns to the lineup with an RBI double and Jake Westbrook pitches well into the eighth as the Spectres beat the Bootleggers 6-1.

Game 149: Jeremy Bonderman gets beat up badly and the Bootleggers roll to an 11-6 win.

Game 150: Carl Crawford steals three bases, reaching 81 for the season, and Ken Griffey Jr. hits his 22nd home run as the Spectres beat Chicago 10-2 at Wrigley.

We enter the final round of divisional play at 78-72, but in last place. Philly has already clinched the title... and that is our first destination.

Game 151: Ken Griffey Jr. homers for the second straight game and Aaron Cook contributes more runs at the plate than he allows from the mound, scoring twice and driving in three, as the Spectres beat Philly 12-2 to open the series.

Game 152: Ken Griffey Jr. goes yard for the third straight game, Dan Uggla drives home five, and Ryan Dempster strikes out the side in the ninth to earn a save as Montreal beats Philly 11-8.

Game 153: The Spectres reach double digits for the fourth straight game as they beat the Cold Stealers 11-5 to give Jeremy Bonderman his 16th victory. Ken Griffey Jr. is kept in the park today, but does drive in two runs. Carlos Delgado hits his 44th home run, Dan Uggla his 33rd, and Ramon Hernandez his 22nd.

Game 154: The offensive fireworks stop for the Spectres as they are shut down by Jake Peavy, who wins his 19th game in a 5-1 decision.

We host New York next.

Game 155: The Mad Men rally for three runs in the ninth to beat the Spectres 4-3. Ryan Dempster gets his ninth blown save, though the stage was set by AJ Burnett.

Game 156: No blown saves in this one, just a good old-fashioned 7-1 beatdown at the hands of New York and Nate Robertson, who wins his 15th game.

Game 157: Jeremy Bonderman strikes out 12 batters and the Spectres get three two-run homers to beat the Mad Men 6-2.

Game 158: Ken Griffey Jr. hits his 25th home run, but gets little support from his teammates, and the Mad Men take the series with a 4-3 win.

We close the season in Pittsburgh.

Game 159: The Spectres are mystified by Gil Meche, collecting only three hits on the day. Pittsburgh has no such problems with Aaron Cook, or his successors, and romps to a 10-0 victory.

Game 160: The Spectres at least score in this one, but the effort is still lacking, and they drop a 5-2 decision.

Game 161: Jeremy Bonderman comes within an out of throwing a complete game shutout and Carlos Delgado hits two home runs as the Spectres blank the Melons 6-0. Bonderman finishes the season at 18-8.

Game 162: Montreal finishes the season with a 2-1 win behind Kelvim Escobar; Melvin Mora hits a two-run homer to account for the Spectre runs.
