INJURY REPORT: MLB.com reports Mark Teixeira left today's game with a back injury. I got that from the CBS glogger and haven't founding myself, but I'm not really trying to look.
This just in, Chipper Jones is good. Like, really good. He has 3 hits today. The rest of the Braves: 2. The combined totals for both teams sans Chipper: 3. Oh yea, the Braves strand two more runners, giving them 54 on the day. I'm bitter, and I'm watching a pitcher's duel. And I an never bitter while watching pitcher's duels, unless my team should be up like 5-0.
And now it is 3-0 Pirates...on 3 hits and 3 errors the Pirates were able to score 3 runs on 5 hits and no errors the Braves could not plate one and lost there first baseman...
Jair issues a lead off walk, Escobar and Diaz contrive to let a pop up drop in, Jair hits the 8 batter and Sanchess lines into the corner in left. Ughhh.
Bottom 5: The deadlock is broken. Jurrjens gets himself into a bases-loaded jam, and Freddy Sanchez makes him pay, clearing the bases with a double and giving Pitt a 3-0 lead. This is what happens kiddies when you don't hit with RISP. Embarassing, at worst this should be a tie game right now.
