To Err Is...: Dodgers 8, Diamondbacks 4

I could go on about the Snakes' errors, which indeed cost them the game. The set-up came from the eighth-inning walk of Izturis, followed by Beltre's double. Odalis -- well, what was he doing setting up "a batting practice pitch" (as one of the talking heads on Fox said after the game) and getting hammered by rookie Chris Snyder?

This is not the kind of game you want to have just before heading off to St. Lou.


Meantime, in Giant-land: An uncharacteristically bad start for Jason Schmidt, who gave up six earned runs. In the bottom of the ninth, Shawn Chacon, ERA 6.55, somehow managed to save a 6-1 Rocky lead whittled to 6-5 by -- Final score, Rockies 6, Giants 5. The Giants are now 6.5 games back of the Dodgers for the division, and 1.5 games back of the Cubs in the Wild Card.

Like I said earlier, six and a half isn't an insurmountain, but every day we edge closer to October 4th is a day I'm more comfortable. The Giants split their series with the Cards; maybe we can do the same.
