Seams like I remember not to long ago, people clamoring for Lecure and some other relievers other than Marshall, Chapman and Ondrusek to get more of the load in pivotal situations.

Damn, I went to bed after the 7th quite sure Marshall-Chapman would shut things down. Seems to me Marshall is the goat from last night.
It wouldn't surprise me at all if this team gets swept by the Padres. They look like they are already on their all star break, including the manager. Just pitiful performance the last three nights. The pitching hasn't taken vacation but the offense has. Seems like I have seen this same movie the last two years before the ASG break. Something tells me the manager has a lot to do with that.

The offense was the goat. Followed closely by Phillips inability to run the bases at a 3rd grade level, followed by Dusty's mindless handling of the pen in the 9th after that. Marshall was no great shakes, but he hung a pitch and the guy crushed it. The lack of support for Latos' gem is why Marshall's misstep cost us.
