They said he was in the starting line-up but was then scratched. I think he is there.

Thanks!

Mondesi got to the ballpark about 15 min. before gametime, and BB decided to let him chill out and get ready for Friday's game (according to ESPN); he is available to pinch-hit.

They just showed Mondesi in the dugout. I bet he'll pinch hit tonight.

This ump is not good. That was clearly low on Shea's strikeout call.

 

[IndyDevil]

The strikeout pitch on Shea was borderline inside, but Shea swung at one about 18 inches low and outside just prior to that...already I'm about ready to hurl listening to ESPN's crew gloat about Willis!! He is a good young pitcher, but they are making him sound like Sandy Koufax!!

 

[Lefty]

What is Bautista doing?

 

[Lefty]

Great throw by Finley to get the double play. Wow!

 

[Lefty]

1-0 Diamondbacks after 4.

 

[Lefty]

Willis looks tough. He looks to be the real deal.

 

[IndyDevil]

This sucks.

Now we have an inept defense to match our missing offense!!

2-1 Marlins, bottom 7th.

 

[Evil Ash]

WTF happened?! I had to run some errands and when I come back the score is now 2-1 Fish! Man this team is starting to piss me off!

 

[Evil Ash]

Ugh ... 3-1 Now! GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR

 

[Evil Ash]

D-backs lose 3-1 and get swept by the fish! Pathetic ... absolutely pathetic!

 

[Lefty]

I also stepped out and heard the game on the radio. I guess Junior takes the blame for this loss. For those who saw the 7th inning on TV would Overbay or Grace had a chance at Junior's bad throw?

Things don't look good now but this team will make up for its bad play in August. Too many home games. They still have a run or two in them.

 

[IndyDevil]

The throw from Spivey looked pretty wide - I think maybe a lefty might have had a shot at it. Regardless, I hope we can make up some ground at Wrigley Field this weekend!!
