First, Jurrjens allowed a run on a bad throw on the safety squeeze and Acosta just tried to throw that one into center. Thankfully Yunel bailed him out. I've enjoyed getting to listen to Skip Carey during the game tonight....I'm usually at the home games so don't get the opportunity. Our pitchers are fielding terribly tonight.
