One of those freakin’ up and down kind of games. Before the started, they announced Tim Hudson’s stint on the DL, the first of his career! The start of the game wasn’t so bad. A homerun in the first. But then that error by Hatteberg results in a partially dislocated shoulder for Rich Harden, who had been cruising along. ALAS! Hopefully he’s all right. Skip to the eighth inning and Dotel came in to shut down the Giants. But in the ninth, with a four run lead, he managed to squander the opportunity and blows the save by letting the Giants tie the game. Thank goodness for Scutaro, who hit the ball after Kielty had stolen second. And so ended the game.
And tomorrow is Photo Day! I need to get up hecka early so that I can meet my cousin at her place by 0830 hrs. Oh dear. I should go to sleep or something.
Did I also mention that at this moment my website is down? Right. I’ll be lucky to post this tomorrow or something. Gads!
