Error of their ways

I tuned in early and it looked like another pitchers’ duel. Next thing I know the floodgates are opened, the rain is down, and a rout is on. Sigh. That “Pokey” chant when Bellhorn made the mistake was really declasse, though: Bellhorn’s not that bad a fielder, and putting him at 2B behind Arroyo and Wakefield instead of Pokey is pretty decent strategy. And in any case, chanting for a backup is hardly any way to boost a player’s confidence or of getting behind the team in general. That’s my $0.02. (Which, in US$, is $0.013 or so.)
