One down, with Eckstein flying out against Oliver Perez.

Oliver Perez scares the shit out of me.

Lewis is sitting here with me tonight, along with Virgil (follow the link). Virgil's live blogging as well. Let's see how soon before we give up on this endeavor.

Oliver Perez strikes out Preston Wilson. Two away. Perez still scares the shit out of me, with his erratic, lack of rest ways.

Albert Pujols scares the shit out of me, too. But in a different way. The towels are flying at Shea. Pujols monster pop up straight up, and Delgado drops it. Oh, for the love of Pete. Perez is doing well, you jackasses, so make the goddamn play. Wright should've taken over that play, but didn't.

Now Encarnacion. He pops it up, too, and Shawn Green catches this one, thank God. Lewis yells at Shawn for worrying about his falling hat before he's even closed his mitt.
