But (fortuntely) he did better than that! Dave,

I'd consider that very accurate and odd that each was exatcly one off. You were off by only one on each guess. 8 innings not 9,0 runs not 1, 3 hits not 4, 2 walks not 1, 12 strikeouts not 11.

I like how Ellis planted in the hole and got ready to rush an off balance throw, then noticed Vidro was 20 steps from the bag, slowed down, and tossed it across to still get him by 8 feet.

the non-stop mouth behind me today informed Sexson as he came up to bat with a runner on third and Vidro on 1st: “c’mon Sexson, a double gets two runs in!!!!”

So JJ has a sore elbow yet gets thrown into the game. This teams management is a freakin joke.

Sadly, he won't pitch EVERY game though. Is there something I should be looking forward to in the next 4 starts? I just can't feel excited about those other guys. That was nice.

Still, I'm going to attempt to not spend money on tickets to a game all season. I suppose I should write a letter accompanying that decision or something.

If it's true that they've taken the reins off Felix, letting him throw the pitches he (and Joh) thinks he should, we may indeed see more of it. Less Hargrove, more Felix = more wins. Also, regarding that KC-BOS game: there was a Joel Pineiro sighting there too (he gave up an RBI triple). It was like some kind of crazy vortex of ex-M's pitchig. Now we just need a Moyer/Garcia-RJ matchup.... But Felix was fantastic, and I hope we see a lot more of that this season.
