Game Notes:

Well, this is embarrassing. Roy Halladay no-hit the Buccos and had a perfect game through seven, when he walked Andrew McCutchen. The Pirates will be missing 2B Neil Walker for a while after he injured himself making a spectacular play at second to retire a baserunner.

Erik Bedard was doing well until he allowed three runners on base with no outs in the seventh and had to be taken out. The relief pitching was horrendous from there-forth, allowing the other ten runs.

Game Notes:
Well, we tried coming back in the ninth inning. Scored a pair of runs in the bottom of the ninth, but the odds were against us, having to score four runs while getting two outs or less. That's not even mentioning that we faced Cliff Lee and Papelbon in the ninth. We at least hit it where they ain't six times. Morton pitched a decent game, only allowing six hits in five innings while striking out five. He did allow a homer to Chase ****ing Utley, so that's why I yanked him out.

Game Notes:

Today was pretty fluky. Sad to see that my Buccos were swept, but I know it's okay because it's the Phillies, nothing to be ashamed of. What's embarrassing is that two of the three games we allowed the opposing pitcher to go all nine, and in all three the starter went into the ninth.

Well, I dropped the last two games of the series by scores of 7-1 and 1-0.

[goosedennis]

I lost the series with the Giants. Game 1: 3-1 Pirates, Game 2: 12-11 Giant, Game 3: 3-2 Giants. The reason I didn't update game-by-game is because I am already on the series in Arizona.
