Game 58 Phils @ Pirates

I feel like I can copy the last three entrees right here and it won't matter because this game has gone on just like the rest.

They get the first two on, Rollins after he bangs a foul off his knee doubles but it takes an error on a grounder from Howard to get a run.
Kendrick starts for the Phils so it won't be long before the Pirates score too and it isn't because they score two in the second.

There was another play that required Howard to throw a ball to first on a pick off attempt. The runner gets to first easily because Ryan Howard cannot throw a ball to save his life.
Wheels was good enough to Howard to point out that the runner got in the way of a possible good throw to first.

Phils are able to get it tied in the fourth on two more sigles and a ground out.
but, Kendrick is still pitching and he is very good at giving runs right back just after the Phils score.

It doesn't help when Lyle Overbay gets his first triple in years after Ibanez faceplants himself while trying to catch a routine fly ball.
So two more runs and the Bucks have a 4-2 lead.

First and third with one out in the fifth but Howard grounds into a dp. zzzzzzzz

J.C. Romero has himself a very giving seventh, he gave the Bucks a little run to improve their lead to 5-2. He walked the leadoff hitter and of course he scores.

Eighth inning, this time It's Baez turn to screw up.
He walks the leadoff again. then a nice dp ball to Howard, oh right he can't throw. they do get the force at second but a decent throw gets them the double play at first.
So they have a runner at third now two outs and Baez throws a ball back to the backstop for a wild pitch.
Sardinha hets it quick enough but Baez forgets to catch the ball after Sardinha throws it to him at home, now it's 6-2.

The Phils tease us by loading the bases and getting a run in the ninth but Ben Francisco was pinch hitting and takes a called third strike right down the middle.

Game ends on a little weak fly ball to left from Utley. zzzzzzzz

Mood is getting really tired of this teams act on offense. Truly excruciatingly awful. Really embarrassing.
I thought I heard Wheels say they have scored 3 runs or less 32 times now. they have won 10 of those games. I know it's a long season but this is bad, really bad. I don't even want to watch these games all the way through but I do because I know everyone wants to know what I'm thinking.

Loss 6-3
Streak 4 losses second time this year
Last ten 5-5
Record 34-24
Cleveland is better again and now the Cards have more wins. First time since the first few games another National League team has more wins.
