Bummer

We gave back the runs we had.

This is hardly shocking

Ponson has had a 1.50+ WHIP all season. He’s been much more lucky than good.

We learned how to score runs. This is good

Joba might have 5 or 6 wins....

if he had the kind of run support that Ponson has had.

The broadcasters just mentioned...

that this is the most runs we’ve had since that 18-run game against Texas, which Ponson also started. Does Ponson give motivational speeches in the clubhouse before he goes out to the mound?

Gardner

Has way too much of an uppercut swing for his speed.

I'm smelling #27.

Anyone else? I just caught a whiff.

Amen

A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort. Herm Albright (1876 - 1944)
