    Reynolds is an interesting character. He punches out 400 times a year, hits for power and drives in RBI's, and can't play any reliable defense. In other words, he's a perennial all-star :)

    Pence just has an incredible ability to swing for the fences and top a ball into a GIDP. Fail.

    Well, that was probably Haren's bad inning. At least we somewhat took advantage of it.

    If we can keep it within 3 and get Haren out before the 8th, we might have a small chance.

    Bourn showing off in the outfield again. He covered a lot of ground and made it look easy.

    Follwed by Lee showing his total lack of speed in left field.

    Most LFers in the league are able to get to that ball.

    Unf'nbelievable!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    That is the 3rd absolutely blown call in this series. What a play by Blum!

    That was closer than the other 2 blown calls but it looked like he got him.

    The umps owe us one on top of that after 100% blowing 2 other calls in this series, both of which led to runs scoring.

    The umps have spent quite a bit of time on their knees this evening.

    The worst of the 3 blown calls in this series was in the 1st game when Bourn and Quintero got Reynolds at home plate. It was clear cut like the missed call at 2nd tonight.

    I'm 95% sure that Blum got it to Berkman in time on that last play. The ump had to give us that one.

    Wow, I left the TV at the end of the top of 5th and felt like I was gone for 2 minutes and now it's the top of the 6th???

    How many pitches did Haren throw there? I know it was the bottom of the order but...

    7 pitches, 3 combined to Quintero and Matsui.

    He follows it up with a 5 pitch inning against our 2, 3, 4 hitters.

    I'm surprised that they ruled a fielding error against Reynolds in the 4th. Berkman scorched that ball even if it was right at him. I wouldn't be surprised if they change that.

    Haren has thrown 7, 5 and 7 pitches in the last 3 innings. 19 pitches. 9 up, 9 down. Pathetic.

    Unreal... I was kidding.

    Another rally killing GIDP.

    Horrible.

    Bases loaded, no outs, heart of the order, we're finally getting something going against Haren.... fail.

    Worst team ever.

    A joke of a team.

    1 run out of all that.

    The dude fell down, bobbled the ball and still beat Lee by a few steps.

    Fire Sean Berry for Godsake.

    I've yet to see any improvement from our young hitters that we've brought up.

    Manzella hasn't been able to hit, same for Chris Johnson.

    And our current hitters have stayed the same if not gotten worse.

    I understand not everything is his fault, but our offense has been terrible for years now.

    Four years of Berry is enough. Get a new guy in here......

    A few minutes ago, Haren was dealing with a bases loaded, no outs situation and facing the heart of our order.

    Now, he's back on the mound to finish off the CG.
