Nevin homered to left field

[texascub]

Big fly for Nevin and we're finally on the board; here's hoping we can break through here with Pettite tiring.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Murton grounded out to the pitcher, 1-3

[Jon]

There's lots of talent in Perez's family.

 

yeah, but Rubby has it all.

 

apparently there is a singer and 2 doctors in his family.

 

That would be Rubby, enchanter of puppies.

 

 

:shock:

I particularly enjoyed the gang sign flash.

Another poor play by Pierre; why in the heck is he still playing? I'd rather have Bynum in CF over this bum.

That guy Phil Nevin...all he does is hit meaningless solo homers all the time.
