Same old story for Tom Gorzelanny--in the first inning, that is. He gave up a single, walk, and home run, and just like that, it was 3-0 after 3 batters.-After that, Gorzo was brilliant. Indianapolis-like. He made it all the way through seven innings and was virtually flawless in the final six.-Still not enough against the great......Dave Bush. Bush is turning into the new Jason Marquis--I believe this is the third time he's shut us down this year. Against everyone else, he's a below-average pitcher at best.

That was more about all of the guys reaching base with two outs than ineptitude in moving guys over, etc, though. I don't think the leadoff man was ever on base.------------------------------------------Sigh. More Pedro news. Now it seems that MLBPA is going to focus the charges on just Avarez's ...
