LaRoche 7th?

Sweet! Hopefully that sends him a message.

If not that...

hopefully the fact that Eye Chart is batting above him is a message.

Anything that’ll get the message across, I guess.

Gorzo gives up 3 runs on 2 hits in the first inning.

And they've

seen the movie in Indianapolis too…JVB gives up 4 in the bottom of the first. But Indy tied it again in the second with doubles from RoPaul and Walker and a homer by Wilson (Josh not Craig). Of course…Paulino only advanced from 2nd to 3rd on Walker’s double.

Paulino tonight
