Marlins 3 Pirates 1

Well, that one was kind of disappointing. OK, it was a lot disappointing. Before the rain we had first and third and one out, only to be let down by the two guys that have let us down the most recently. Daryle Ward popped up and Mackowiak struck out, inning over. Then the rain came. After the rain Vogelsong came in and actually pitched pretty well, only giving up one hit over his three and two thirds. Of course that one hit was a monster two run jack by Juan Encarnacion. We continued to squander opportunities, only scoring on Chris Duffy's infield single. On the other side, Torres had a bad night giving up a homer and calling off Cota and Sanchez, only to let a popup drop between the three of them. It turned out to be harmless, just mortifyingly embarassing. Games like tonight are tough, what with the stopping/starting brought on by the rain, but then again losing 3-1 while you out hit the other team 7-5 is never fun.
