As soon as McCann hit that one, I said its either a homer or he's dead. He was dead.

Yunel!!!

Yeah, and i can't say that the bush-joe morgan lovefest is really enhancing my enjoyment of the event....

Ray King!

He owes us a few wins from when he pitched for us. Lets make something happen right here.

End of the night for Hudson. You really can't ask for much more from your #1 starter.
