Okay, eigth inning… we’re only down by two, so we’re still in this, but the immortal Evan Meek just threw a wild pitch to advance the runners to second and third… no one out and Chris Duncan on deck… that Sid Crosby kid sure is great, isn’t he? Hey—did I give the sign to intentionally walk Pujols? No? We’re down 5-1 now? Well, can’t wait to see the Penguins against Carolina; our season is already all but over.
When will managers learn : DON'T PITCH TO ALBERT PUJOLS WITH MEN ON SECOND AND THIRD! I mean, he's only got the highest active career OPS (and 5th highest all-time). He *will* drive in those runs if you pitch to him! Heck, the Mets made that mistake only a few weeks ago!
In Padres news, they just lost their 11th road game. Thank you, they’re happy to play the baseball equivalent of the Generals any day. Jake Peavy "leads" the staff with a 4.30 ERA. New closer Heath Bell, who has yet to give up a run, is stuck on 8 saves, and ex-closer Trevor Hoffman, who missed the first month of the season (and who has yet to give up a run), just got his 8th save for the Brewers. Good for Trevor!
