A damn Jones!

The guy Burnett struck out twice before sunset just destroyed a ball into the bullpen, completing the 19-run inning. Shades of Lilly sidearming the game away vs. Oakland, and if you didn't already know this season was over, the top of the 6th confirmed it with a bullet. An 8-1 lead against the Baltimore Orioles should last longer than a Wells at-bat.

Good game so far, though. Rod Black's more than tolerable when he talks about charity and kids collecting baseball cards and sixty year olds whose lust isn't going going Zaun anytime soon. Not so much baseball.
