Braun had some crushable pitches there when he got ahead in the count.

Not sure how he missed that last one.

Oswalt better suck ass during the regular season.

 

I love how it's about 50 degrees and all the fans at Dodger Stadium are decked out in gloves, thick jackets and the like. Angelenos are such wusses.

Good shot from Fuku there. Nothing impressive, but at least it's some sign of life.

 

Oswalt needs to stop the bleeding though.

wow...fukudome with a lucky shot...

 

man, i really wish he wasn't on the cubs

[anabiono]

my hatred for the rays...oh...why oh why

[dew1679666265]

DeRo crushed that ball, but it got hung in the wind.

Yeah, the weather isn't good for hitting too many home runs, especially now as the sun sets.

Which isn't good for us - given that we're down 4. From watching the Japanese for three or four games now, they don't appear to have much power, but they're a great group of hitters.

awesomely bad swing.

Mark DeRosa loves his country http://75.125.185.66/forums/classic_images/smilies/icon_gu_b_slayer.gif

Rally time? Please?

[Careless]

Chicago misses you, DeRosa.

[Fro]

wow, DeRosa got this crowd jacked up

[dew1679666265]

It's all up to Roberts.

[dew1679666265]

Thought that might have a chance off his bat.

[cubweiser03]

tanaka and mahara are nasty.

Good for Derosa

[chuckywang]

And Derek Jeter has to go and screw it up.

[dew1679666265]

I kinda wonder why Shields didn't start this inning. He's probably our best bullpen arm.

[BCVM22]

That was depressingly like a bad Cubs game.

 

Early lead > big inning for the opponent cued by bad defense and a tiring pitcher > attempt at a comeback > insurance runs for the opposition > hardly any fight for the final innings.
