The Blue Crew got walloped today, 14-5. Matt Holiday hit a blast in the 5th that actually left the stadium, clearing the bullpen wall in left field. Well, you can't win 'em all. Especially when you rest Nomar, Jeff Kent and Russel Martin all on the same day. Way to cripple the offense with your perfect storm of day-offs, Grady.

I don't have too much to say about the game today. Not on a day when Steve Irwin, the Crocodile Hunter (who I am a big fan of), died today. He was killed by, of all things, a stingray while scuba diving. You just knew that one of these days, he'd bite the big one. You can't expect to have a long life expectancy handling animals with venom and deadly sharp teeth for a living. Still, this is a great loss. RIP mate.
