A bad loss. Coming off the big sweep of the White Sox, this team had a big lead and then coughed it up...Lou Pinella gets the blame for this loss. The six runs given up in the ninth were given up by 1) a guy who hasn't pitched in a big situation since crapping all over himself for most of the season, and who had been extended into his third inning, as he came into the game in the 7th; and b) another aging guy who has was pitching for the third day in a row after getting two one-inning saves after spending most of the season as a set up guy before being marginalized by Pinella, and I would bet he hasn't pitched three straight days all season (he hasn't, I looked it up).
It is also a mistake to have Koyie Hill pinch hitting as the final out of the game. I would even prefer Cliff Floyd against a leftie. Ok, he got a hit, but...
At least Comcast showed the moron who rushed Howry get "nuetralized" by security before realizing what they were doing.
And how's about Mike Fontenot! And a huge clutch hit by the National League Player of the Week.

Scott Eyre in 2007: 0-1, ERA 6.92, IP 26, H 39, BB 18
That's terrible. The Indianapolis Indians would put Eyre at the end of their bullpen.
