This lineup stinks other than Reynolds, Cutch, Cruz and Bart. I won't be watching because I have other things to do than watch a lousy team. NOTE: Holderman on 15 day injured list. Chase Shugart called up from Indy.

Triolo (.059) is playing SS because IKF is hitting .321. It's Sunday so Shelton is required to field the weakest lineup possible. That's really a challenge on this team because there is always someone else to maximize the weakness. But benching IKF for Triolo is a stroke of genius.

[Possum]

Triolo scratched. IKF replaces him in the lineup.

No hitter avoided!!! Likely today’s highlight.

it is pretty hard to top yesterday's lineup but I knew Shelton could do it.

Four runs (so far) again today. That's enough to win a game. The team's issue this year so far has been pitching. For a team presumably based on pitching (which of necessity includes defense), they have been abysmal. Maybe with Holderman and Bednar out of reach, Shelton will be forced to use a reliever who can get someone out.

Just was able to tune in here in the bottom of the 8th. What a pleasant surprise to see us ahead. Goes to show how hard it is in baseball for a team to sweep a series, even with these two teams involved. That’s one of the game’s great charms.

[Bobster]

Outstanding pitching from Heaney. Hayes seems healthy and playing well. He looks like he’s having a good time. Borucki blows save. 4-4.

[Doc]

I guess I should’ve stayed away. The Yankees tie it in the 9th, still batting with two outs.

Great effort by Heany!!!! Shame he pitched that gem as a Pirate. BP blew it.
