Got home just as the game started, putting up w/lots of drunk Irish wannabe's who annoyed the computers. Got the game on in time to see Tabata steal third, which Pearce converted to a run w/an infield hit off of C.C.

CC is pretty efficiently mowing down the Bucs, which probably isn't surprising. The only one who's looked good batting against him was Nyjer Mor ... oh, wait, no one would believe that, would they? Nyjer looked like a Pee Wee league hitter against a High School pitcher. He has to be cut - bring back Mienkowizc or Macoviak or Mackawackalack or someone to play left or center.

V. Vasquez just got pounded by Texiera and Hiedeki Matsui. That last ball will set off alarms at Cape Canaveral as an unauthorized aircraft.

That's a shame as VV looked pretty good against the bottom of the lineup.

Nady just pounded a hanging breaking ball from VV - can you say middle relief?
