Longtime readers of this blog know the level of hatred WSBGM's holds in regard to Abraham "No-Hit" Nunez.

Roy Oswalt Pitches His First Complete Game Of 09 And Loses

Tejada, Berkman, Lee and Pence were all ofer. Erstad, of all people, was 2fer 2, raising his BA to a stunning .145 and Bourn drove in 1 run and Keppinger drove in the other with a solo homer. Roy had given up 3 runs through 7 and I was surprised to see Coop send him out for the 8th. Then with 2 out, he gave up a single, then a walk. He was already losing by 1 run and I guess Roy...

Bunts and Balks (6/20)
