Anderson gives up his second hit and Geren has a guy up in the bullpen.
Small margin for error, sheesh.
Pitch count is at play too I think

the other night in that TV interview even know, if they even comprehend or care that when they go on their little “everything is going according to plan” spiel, they really do sound like the news announcers in George Orwell’s “1984”.
“We are winning the war against Anaheim. We have always been at war with Anaheim.Our pitching is developing. Offense is a crapshoot. Matt Holliday is not panicking. Nothing is wrong.”
Hey, I just bought the team from Lew Wolff... who wants to play third?
I’m not sure if this was already mentioned, but let’s see if Bob Geren benches Orlando Cabrera for not even attempting to go to first on a ball that got away from the catcher on the third strike. Cabrera was heading for the dugout as Mathis chased him down. He could’ve at least drawn a throw.

what about the bat
