they say good pitching beats good hitting.

who are "they" anyway? i hate "them."

the braves lost. kerry wood pitched a good game, but honestly, i think the braves beat themselves. wood wasn't perfect; he threw a lot of balls and put a lot of men on base. the braves just weren't hitting.

and then their defense shot themselves in the foot. russ ortiz brilliantly pitched out of a jam in the 3rd, and a bases-loaded, no-outs jam in the 4th. in the 6th he loaded the bases again, then got a strikeout and a double play ball...but robert fick bobbled the catch and thus an inning-ending double play turned into an inning-continuing single out.

sigh.

the fox broadcast of the game was quite annoying. i didn't like the announcers. and they kept on showing kerry wood's wife, squinching her eyes and gasping and cheering and crap. ugh. it was driving me crazy. i almost muted the sound, except i don't like muting it because then i can't pace around my apartment without losing track of the game.

ah. such are my problems.

i'm stressed out. the weather outside is perfect.
