There goes a 2 run lead...

It felt inevitable to me that the lead would disappear.

Can't throw too many strikes when you have middlin' stuff.

Yeah, but he's missing by a lot

Have to throw GOOD strikes! Like Hyde keeps saying, strikes to balls.

Kinda tired of the old music

Rockies German Marquez, who has somehow managed to put up great #s at Coors while being bad on the road, is at it again.  Into the 7th, and the Pirates have a zero in the H column on the scoreboard.

Not the birthday gift he was hoping for.

Houston Orange is a lot similar to Oriole Orange which is similar to SF Giant Orange.  The crowd shots look homey because they are wearing Orange so much.

That kind of thing happens as we get older.

Couple of things went wrong that inning:

1.  Wells got a perfect ground out to SS... but we had nobody playing SS.  I don't care what shift you use, you've gotta have somebody playing close to SS.  We gave them an extra base-runner and an extra out.

2. The sac fly to Mullens... we know he has a bad arm... how do our infielders not know that?  Either the 2B or SS has to set up a relay throw to 2nd base.  Urias makes a lame half-hearted effort, and they get runners on 2nd and 3rd.  

And we give away 2 runs.  Awful baseball.

Hardest hit ball for Santander in a while.

SF Giant Orange came from Balto. Orioles Orange....Orioles (MiL) manager John McGraw brought the colors to the NY Giants when he switched jobs..in the early 1900's

The ump is squeezing the pitchers, too… out pitchers, anyway.
