I had to work at 3 this morning so had to sleep after Placido tweaked his shin on that one play at second...did he end up being hurt?

2 errors by Inge, but a home run? Wasn't he suppose to be flawless at fielding with no bat?

And what's with Everett getting an error? I thought our left side of the infield was suppose to be the best in the league?

Welll, that was a shitty game.

:puke2: for most of it, anyway....
