Poor Rochy and that error; he's really having a rough year all around. For the Braves it was a great game last night. We're in a stretch where we're facing some weak teams and we need to be doing to them exactly what we did last night to the Pirates. I tell you I about fell out of the bar stool when I saw Jose Ascanio on the mound in the ninth inning. It looks like we'll be without Ledezma for a few days. I always find it funny when pro stars have the same problems that the rest of us do.
