Watching Phils-Giants while waiting for the 'Stros. Someone just hit a sac fly into medium LF, where Juan Pierre caught it. Theriot didn't even hesitate and took off from third, and he was in the dugout by the time Pierre's banana throw made it to third base. What a noodle arm.

I am reminded of my favorite JR Richard game against the Dodgers, in which he had something like 15 strikeouts, 5 wild pitches, and 2 hit batsmen.

He hit a triple in the ninth for two rbis. Nats came back and the game is still going.

Nats might gain in interest in Myers pretty soon here.

I've seen some interesting breakdowns on Shields, who evidently has changed his pitching approach and selection significantly in response to the crummier fielding behind him due to team injuries. I'm pretty sure Norris is throwing a different mix of pitches this year, but what or why I have no idea.

Damnit, Cruz. You have no fucking clue where the ball is going. His constantly changing release points can't be helping him.

We'll get our first look at Cordero in the eighth. Nothing like coming into a 4-13 game. Having been in more than a few of those, it actually is fun. Francisco singles sharply to LF, after Corporan hit his first big league home run, and it was a pretty good shot.

Cordero is but a shell of his former self. But he tosses a scoreless frame. 13-4 Top 9

Street cred? When II was drinking, I couldn't have given two shits about street cred. As long as I had money, I was in the game.

Moore hits a three run bomb to cut the margin to five, but Bixler caps an 0-5 night by striking out again. IO predict that Bixler goes down if it is a hitter going down, and EDR if it is a pitcher.
