Hmm.

Okay, first off- ten run innings? Not funny. Giving them up two games in a row, definitely not funny. This game was somewhat disappointing because, again, we had defensive errors get to us. We've been so solid on defense this season, and I'm really hoping that certain members of the team (Not that I'm talking about Royce Clayton specifically) aren't going to make it a habit of giving up more errors.

But last night's game was even more frustrating. Brandon Webb puts up another great game (8 innings, 3 runs) and we can't get enough support for him? The offense had been pretty good on this trip so far, but just took last night off, it seems. It seems like the motto of the season thus far is "Firing on Six of Eight Cylinders."

Also worrying is the fact that Ortiz has gone on the DL. Sayith Bob Melvin: "We're calling it a rib strain, but we're not exactly sure what it is. It has been bothering him for a couple of starts." Which is a bit worrisome. Well, two points of worry- first that they aren't sure what it is, and second that that statement seems to imply it was bothering him in Chicago, where he gave what was one of his best start of the year so far. We've also taken this moment to send Matt Herges down to Tucson (finally) and recall Koplove (good) and Brandon Medders. I don't know too much about him, but I was friends with a guy in high school who had the last name Medders, and he was a good guy. So, I have hope.

Our game today is already underway, thanks to the trickery that is time zones. After two, no score, but Estes has given up two hits, while the D-Backs have struck out three times. Hopefully, we'll be able to get some offense going and give Estes a shot at the win.
