Personally, I thought Moylan was a much better bet for the role than Acosta. And actually, I partially think he may be better for the role than Soriano at times.

Pretty pathetic and depressing to watch to be honest. No offense. No bullpen. Nothing. Shut out by the Marlins...... So that's the ball game tonight.

Ohman falls behind 3-0. Gets two strikes to take it to 3-2. Ohman walks him. Another walked in run! I'm really sick of this. I'm pissed actually. 3-0 Marlins. Bottom 8th, cont:

Looks like the weather's awesome for baseball down in Florida today. Too bad nobody actually goes to their games. I think we're going to try to go to a Marlins game this year just so we can actually see what the stadium looks like during a game. About 20 minutes until game time.

Caught just shy of the track. 2 out. - Francoeur flies out to deep right-center. 3 out. So Chipper has our only two hits tonight and we haven't been able to do anything with them. Top 4th:

Yet another lead off runner given up by the Braves. Overall, JJ's been decent tonight however in that category. Hermida strikes out swinging. JJ's fourth K of the night. 1 out. Willingham hits one over Kotsay's head. I think that may be number two on the counter. Triple for Willingham. 2-0 Marlins. Bottom 6th:
