Top of the 5th

I didn't expect to see Oliver Perez in the 5th inning. He still scares the shit out of me. But he's doing well.

Belliard gets a hit, goddammit. Suppan bunts him over. Chavez misses an out-of-play foul ball from Eckstein/Cornerstone. Then Eckstein gets hit in the toes. It's not the face, but it should hurt a little. Big strikeout. Wilson down.

Now Pujols. Oh, crap. Perez is pitching to him. Oh, man, oh, man, oh, Manischewitz. Holy crap! Willie's a genius! Pujols popped out to Reyes. I can't believe it.
