"AND HE WAS FLYING!"

A game-winning, three-run, inside-the-park home run for Grady Sizemore. That's four hyphens, if you're counting.

And JoBo — yes, I'm acceding to the syllabonym, in just this one case — strikes out the side to end the game.

You'd like to see a blowout now and then, but I'm encouraged by this team's ability to find ways to win the close ones. Last night they were handcuffed by Steve Trachsel, but they weaseled and cajoled just enough pitches out of him to get him pulled in the sixth. In comes Jeremy Guthrie, who may be a double-agent. No room on our roster for the former first-round pick, so we send him out into the field to serve up big innings for us? You're an evil genius, Mark Shapiro.
