   Base hit to start the game. How about some runs, you losers?

   2nd inning. Another lead off runner on. Let’s see if they can not waste this one.

   Weak hacks on changeups and Ibanez goes to grab some bench.

   Chavez singles. First RISP test of the day.

   And first fail. Martin grounds into a DP.

   RISP hit! RISP hit! Ibanez singled with a runner on thrid and two out! TWO OUT! It’s a miracle.

    And Hughes gives it right back. Solo homer.

    More RISP fail in the 6th. Still 1-1.

    Howdy, Prof. I’ve been half-watching while I ordered a new computer. It’ll be like Xmas in July.

        starting pitching sure has been good, three nights in a row. 6 innings of good Philbert’s not bad. Cespedes has allayed doubts about Billy Beane’s judgement.

    Horrible throw by Martin. Halfway decent throw and they would have had him.

    He went with the changeup. OK.

    Runs, people, runs.

      They just won’t listen! And they won’t hit it there, to the kid with the personalized sign, either.

    7 innings, 1 run. Hughes did the job. 106 pitches, so I guess he’s not coming out for the 8th.

    Looks like Beane knew what he was doing trading Cahill for Parker.

    He’s at 100, maybe they’ll do us a favor.

    What was Hughes doing out there after 106 pitches??

      did you hear Coney: Phil, with his rising fb, needs to climb the ladder with it. Joe has him under orders to keep it down, but that’s what both homers were off.

    All right, Rodriguez stole the base, but Teixeira took a called third strike. He took three called strikes during that at bat.
