Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na, Bat Man!
Guillen -- get that hand checked, dude. .125? You sure you don't need some time off or something?
Wash looks sharp -- not striking out a lot of guys but getting a bunch of outs. He's only faced 10 batters by the fourth. But -- uh oh. Wash gives up a double to Winn and then he steals third. Boone doubles him home. Wash starting to shake things up a bit. Man, could we use a double play ball... instead he gets a single from Ibanez and a double from Aurilia ... and a bloop RBI single from Wilson. This game erases any doubts about Jarrod's symbiotic relationship with Darin Erstad's legs, iffy though they may be. Now it's Washburn's turn for an embarrassing ERA, 9.82. Oops.
And now Osama Ben Weber comes in to the game, and promptly sets off a bomb that bounces out of the park. You're supposed to give up groundballs, dude, not ground rule doubles. Man, the pitching smelleth; and he walks Dave Hansen. Dude, what are you, some kinda enemy combatant?
Ugh. Ichiro hits one to second but legs it out to prevent a double play. 9-6 -- and before I can finish the sentence, Randy Winn whacks one past Glaus and it's 9-7. And uncharacteristically, Weber strikes out Boone.
High concept: the Cardinals of the AL West?
