Don't have time for PBP today, but thought I'd get it started and let y'all take over.

Its cold and windy tonight and JD (radio) and Raymond say they wouldn't be suprised to see football'esque scores.

Top 1: Tejada homered.

Bottom 1: Zimmerman hit a 2 run homer (probably wind aided) on a pitch Sampson left up.  Sampson finished the inning with a strikeout.
