[Guest Hillbilly]

Having both Milledge and Soler to check out is very exciting!

[metirish]

2 zip Snakes, I blame Milledge.

[Guest KC]

2B ump (I'm not gonna butcher his last name) needs to see the replay of
that twenty times as penance for that out call on the attempted steal and
give us one back tonight or tomorrow.

[Guest Hillbilly]

Soler is getting squeezed too.

[Zvon]

Another tuff 1st inning for Soler.

2 walks
2 runs
a WP
Some deep outs.
Over 30 pitches.

Might be gettin squeezed a lil and that call at second didnt help, but Soler aint helpin himself either.

[Guest OlerudOwned]

Bah. 2 runs and a lot of pitches in the 1st. Soler needs to find the strike zone.

Get 'em back, boys.

[Zvon]

Reyes with the lead off bunt single--ya gotta like that

[Zvon]

Get into scoring position for the Carloses Jose.

[Zvon]

Thank you Mr Reyes.
20th stolen base.

And Beltran draws the walk.

Would be nice if Delgado snapped out of his funk here.

[Guest Hillbilly]

Nothing doing as Wright lines out deep.

[Zvon]

He dont.
And Wright almost gets a hold a one, but, he dont.

Lets hope Soler settles down cuz you have to figure we are gonna score 2 runs.

He didn't.

Delgado forces Beltran at second. Wright flies to right center to end the inning.

[Guest Hillbilly]

Our new 2nd baseman butterfingers it to give Soler more to deal with.

[Guest Hillbilly]

Nice inning for the big right hander.

[metirish]

keith thinks Soler is a perfectionist, says he needs to tone it down a bit...good advice I think.

Sounds OK, but it is only his second big league start, you'd expect him to amped.

Cliff gets it going!

[Guest Hillbilly]

Our new big stick 2nd baseman puts two on for the rook!

[metirish]

Milledge had a fine AB, hit a rocket to 2nd, Floyd scores...2 to 1 Snakes.

[Guest holychicken]

Yeah, too bad that didn't find a hole.

[Guest Hillbilly]

The kid almost knocks Counsell on his ass. Soler's bunt results in an error and a run, but Jose GiDP to end the threat.

[Gwreck]

I believe Alay Soler got his first major league hit on that scoring decision.

lol.

He hit it hard, but no cigar.
Good thing no DP.

Batista and Tracy screw up and we get a run.
And Reyes hits --a DP!? Awwwww

Damn- last thing iI would have expected.

We get one back.
1-2

...and they quite correclty took it away.

Sacrifice Bunt, advancing Valentin.
Fielder's Choice, allowing Soler to reach by trying for Floyd at third.
Throwing Error on Tracy, allowing Valentin to 3rd and Floyd to score.

[Guest Hillbilly]

Nice! Soler gets out of it after the defense does all it can to give it away. 2,3 &4 due up for the good guys.

[Guest Hillbilly]

Beltran is good. Boooooooo!

[MFS62]

The in-game box at Yahoo.com is still showing Soler with a hit.

Edit: They just changed it.

Later

[Guest Hillbilly]

Delgado and Wright fail to bring 'em home again. Lets keep it close Soler.

[Guest Hillbilly]

3 to 1 is still close. Cliff with lead off double.

[Zvon]

Come on Lastings--be big-
