Sigh. Actually, I thought all I was going to write was Greg Maddux’ name. He was absolutely dominating until the 7th inning when he became a bit human and gave up two runs (almost three, but Juan was thrown out at the plate on a nice play by the Braves D). Maddux needed something like 48 pitches to get through 6 innings – rather amazing in this day and age.
John Thomson was – well, John Thomson. He wasn’t horrible, but he wasn’t great, either. And with Maddux on the other side, giving up the runs we did was too many, unfortunately.

Sigh. Another game that we looked to be winning, we lost. This looked like last year’s bullpen, tell you the truth. We’ve now lost 4 in a row, and are 6 under .500. Remember a few games back when we got to within one game of 500? I said it was time for a slide? Looks like I was right. :(

Another game I fell asleep on on the couch and missed it. Good thing too, I didn’t appear to actually miss anything worth watching. :(

I had to work late, and I wasn’t going to be in the mood to start watching a game at 11PM, so I listened on the radio while I worked. Valdes won the game, and only gave up two, but I wasn’t sure why he came out of the game when he did. At the time, I thought he could go longer – but hey, I’m not Buck. :)
Offensively, we had some spread out RBI’s – a total of 8 amongst 5 players – capped by a 3 run HR by Ruben Sierra in the ninth, which kept Urbina off the field, and gave Cordero a save, because he stayed out there for the 9th and mowed ’em down.
I’m hoping we play better against the Orioles this weekend than we did last weekend.

I missed most of this game, because I got home late, and then fell asleep on the sofa.
I think this game can be summed up this way though.. Benes wasn’t great. Ben Grieve was. :)
