The best part
From the front of Jsonline
Dave Bush gave up just four hits and seven innings and the Brewers sscored four runs in the first three innings thanks to the help of four Atlanta errors as the Brewers held off the Atlanta Braves

Yeah
A really good pitcher wouldn’t give up 7 innings. That puts him at a flat 7.00 Earned Inning Average, which is flat out unacceptable.

nah, I think that's a 9.00 EIA
He did give up those 7 innings in 7 innings.

That sentence makes me wonder...
Which two teams were playing again?

more road records
Holy crap, only five teams in the majors have a positive road record right now?! (And two barely so, Yankees at 19-18 and A’s at 17-16.)

Do you use it on Edmonds or Zambrano?

Something I didn't note about Jeffress before
He had a 10/2 GO/AO ratio. Very nice.

4 straight road wins now, too
If I’m eyeballing it correctly, that’s the first time since June 13-16 last year. The last time prior to that was way back in 2004, June 26 to July 1st (5 game winning streak!).

Tomorrow they go for their first road sweep since approximately 1882

I believe they haven’t swept a 3 game series on the road since June 29-July 1, 2004 in Colorado. They swept a 2-game series in Pittsburgh to start 2005.

Tying run at the plate, Dork Lee

Rooster Ramirez singles in another run 7-5. Its like blood in the water. Anybody on the Orioles got some avocados?

Heh
A franchise that let Corey Patterson roam around center for four years would probably really like Tony Gwynn, Jr.

Seems like something's wrong with Marmol
I of course don’t want anyone to be hurt or anything, but if he inexplicably lost his command for the next month or so I would not be sad about it.

In tonight's feature event
...of George Sherill loading the bases with nobody out, the role of Bill Hall will be played by Ronny Cedeno.

bk, if you're around
Zack Jackson and Hernan Irabarren have merged in the 40-man roster widget on the left side there, they’re on the same line- you might want to fix that up a bit.

Can Blanco succeed...
Where Corky Miller failed? Backup catcher pride is on the line.

The season has become too weird
First Bill Hall is brought in as a defensive replacement for someone, and now the Cubs use Henry Blanco as a pinch hitter. I expect Armando Benitez to be called into a one-run, bases-loaded, no out jam soon enough.

Just what the Cubs wanted
Roberts got his 1,000th career hit at Wrigley on a triple.

should've stopped the game and done something
I guess for a video presentation they’d have to bring out a tv on a cart.

They wanted to do that, I hear
But all they could find in the Wrigley Field storerooms were old newsreel projectors.

Braves fan game recap
Let’s see: 3 errors in the 1st inning, 1 RBI “double” in the 2nd to BJ in LF (terrible misplay, ran in instead of back), 4 total errors, 2 by Frenchy, first 9 batters all got out, TWO line-drive DPs to 1B, Esco tossed for slamming his helmet when he got doubled off 1st, only 5 hits on offense against a 5 ERA pitcher, and 1 XBH. We completely suck.
