0 runs 1 hit 1 left on.

Well there it is inning 2 caught live from my Vizio 47" to this screen. What do you think? I learned a few things. First fould balls are good they give time to type, never noticed it before, the game seems to move slower after a foul. Kind of like a, ok lets all relax, we have another ball let that one go. But in terms of glogs the foul gives some needed time to type in an extra thing or two. Dustin Pedroia could have joined the endless list of players who assisted for all three outs in the inning but he couldn't handle mollers screamin liner. I'll be back to glog the 7th stay tuned (actually just read the previous entry). Oh sweet elixir chicken soup.
