Wow...1 lousy hit until the 9th inning and then they score 3 without getting an out. 9th Inning dramatics are one thing, but that's crazy.

I'd rather listen to Kelch read the phone book than suffer through Thom Brennaman's attempt to make every instance on the field the most important event since the discovery of manned space flight. -westofyou
Fire Dusty. I would have bunted!
I really want to go through this thread and do some bumps, but I'll refrain. Just have some faith people.
Had it all the way. They just needed to know how many they needed to score.

Glad they won.
Not happy about the offense still.
Wood came back from a rough inning, deserves a lot of credit. Pitching hopefully coming back.
Travis Wood was the star of the game. A good start was sorely needed.
Well, the offense scored 3...but to be honest, that was some pretty pitiful offense today. That Rodriguez kid was throwing nothing but fastballs and we couldn't do anything against him. And they didn't even have substantial movement or velocity on them. Kinda sad. If not for Brandon Lyon, we'd be looking at a no-hitter. (no way that "triple" should've been a hit...horrible play by Underpants) But hey, I'll take the win.
But I don't know how anybody can say that the offense is not a concern. Against these pitchers...we should've put up double digit hits AND runs.
Now in regards to the pitching...Wood looked fantastic. Excellent movement, simply pounding the zone. He was really working quickly too (Leake-quick). The bullpen came in and did the same. Fast, aggressive and efficient. The one hit Cordero allowed was on a pretty darned good pitch. Just gotta give credit to the hitter there. Overall, a much needed solid pitching performance. Over the past 5 or so games, our starters are sporting a 10+ earnie. *shudders*
I can't wait for Homer's debut tomorrow.
BTW, today's game by Wood was extremely predictable. Go back and look at his outings this year.
Good 7 ip 1 run
Bad 5 ip 6 runs
Good 6 ip 1 run
Bad 3 ip 6 runs
Good 6 ip 3 runs (sorta good)
Bad 3 ip 7 runs
today... 6 ip 2 runs
