A day game

Turns out today is another of those crazy day games that I always forget happen in the middle of the week and then miss most of due to class. The good news thus far, Ollie gave up no runs, Bay and Eldred both homered and Bay has another RBI. The bad news is that Ollie gave up no runs because he beaned Hector Luna in the second inning and got tossed. I haven't seen the tape, but I'm gonna have to question that call. Perez has just about no control whatsoever right now and it's quite possible that the source of the feud between the two teams was canned 8 days ago. From that write-up above it doesn't appear there was any kind of warning issued prior to the game and Perez wasn't even in Pittsburgh for the pre-game brawl/scuffle thingy. Plus we've all been good boys for two whole days now, right? I smell bullshit. Anyways, Vogelsong came in with 2 and 1/3 of decent relief followed by Josh Fogg's second relief outing in as many days after almost 4 years of none. We're still up 3-1, but a Cards win coupled with an Astros loss means it's clinching time for the Cards, so don't look for them to roll over just yet.
