Dickerson grounds out to end the inning. 11-5 going to the ninth. I smell a comeback. *sniff, sniff* Oh wait...I think that's those burritos I had earlier.

Dickerson really gets a great jump on the ball. He covers a TON of ground. I really want to see him in CF full time for the remainder of the season.
Bases loaded for Lee. I'm not liking the looks of this. Wait...scratch that. I haven't liked the looks of this for quite a while now.
Mike Lincoln continues to get crushed.
Single scores 2. 13-5. I thought I heard the fireworks going off...but that was just the bullpen exploding. Another base hit. 14-5.
This would be a great time to start taking a look at some of those minor league relievers. Hererra, Roenicke & Fisher. But I'd like to see Louisville advance. Tough quandry.
Alright. 14-5 in the middle of the 9th. RALLY CAPS! *hears crickets* Okay, nevermind. I'm out guys. Later.

Look on the bright side: we're learning some important stuff for next year. Pretty clear to me, and I suspect to WJ, that this much-touted bullpen is not very good and that Majewski and Lincoln will certainly not be a part of it next year. I think we will see the Lousville guys after their series is over.
Keppinger and Phillips back to back hits
Grand slammmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm Cabrera
14-9
