so does everyone still hate fontenot and want him off the team, or has he bought himself a few days' reprieve?

I've never hated Fontenot.

[Transmogrified Tiger]

I've been pushing Fontenot since 2005, I ain't stopping now.

I have a strong desire to keep the Cajun Connection in effect!

[Jon]

He has a .750 SLG% in his last 9 games...

I think the key play in this game was Wood stranding that runner on 3rd in the 9th.

It's at least four hours after the game (which I got to watch virtually all of at the office) and I'm still trying to figure out how Marmol gave up a home run to Ray Durham.

 

Seriously? Watch the replay...he served up one of the meatiest meatballs that ever meated.

it's probably more about "good pitcher giving up home run to not good hitter"

Durham has a 117 OPS+ this year. And Marmol has been struggling - a common occurence with relievers.

That's bolstered mostly by his .389 OBP. Durham had a whopping two home runs this year in 258 PA's going into yesterday's game.
