Werth scores! Ibanez drives him in! Yee-ha!

[smoovethug]

First blood!

[joejlitz]

Yeah baby! 2-0!

[smoovethug]

Way to tack more on this inning and run Jimenez. The wind really took hold of Werth's ball.

Largest crowd ever @ CBP at 46,452.

Lets see;

Helton misses ground ball for double, Fowler misses fly ball for double, Cargo misses fly ball for double. Helton swings at 3-1 pitch and pops up. WOOO

[smoovethug]

I don't think you can say they "missed" the fly balls. CarGo was fighting the wind and a line shot which I'm sure was slicing off Howard's bat and then hitting the wall...Fowler again had the wind taking that ball all over the place and he made a great effort just to get that close to the ball.

A gem by Cliff Lee, glad Charlie let him finish and not bring in Happ or someone else unnecessarily.

I think it was stupid to leave Lee in. 113 pitches in a semi-blowout and the first game of the post season?

edit: wait. i haven't looked at the schedule. does he get a bunch of days off? if so, i retract

Lee will be fine to pitch later in the series. The guy is a horse. With our bullpen the way it is, leaving Lee in was the right move.
