I see the

million dollar arm and 10 cent brain frittered away the 4 run lead while I was at lunch…but our offense is still trying to make up for it.

JR

has him in for his bat. He’s hitting .400.

I guessed that. :)

But it’s not like it could’ve been much worse.

Plus, other than Nate Sr, our pinch-hitting isn’t very good.
