The Fungoes and DVs went 2-2 tonight.

Fungoes and DVs squared off tonight in a four game set. DVs jumped out to a 8-1 lead in game 1 only to succumb to a, (as FFT's would say) "GAWD AWFUL BULLPEN!! Fungoes win game 1, 9-8. The following showed up in print in the Morning Edition:

'We really needed this win' said DEREK's manager. 'That first drink of water

at the end of a drought sure does taste good!' Amen to that brother!

Game 2 DVs beat up on Roy Halladay winning 6-2. Clemens got the (surprise) complete game win as DVs boss was hesitant to use the "GAWD-AWFULS" in this one.

Game 3 was another DV win. This one was 6-0 shutout! Fungoes played more to their capabilities in this one. Kazmir threw 6 innings and struck out nine for the win.

Game 4 was one for the ages for the Fungoes. DVs sprinted out to an 8-0 lead scoring 3 in the 2ND and 5 in the 4th. Maine was cruising along allowing 1 hit before Fungoes erupted for an 8 spot in the bottom half of the 4Th inning. Sizemore hit a Grand Slam to make it 8-7 and Frank Thomas hit the very next pitch into the ozone to make it 8-8. Fungoes picked up the winning run on a Berkman sac fly in the 8Th. Papelbon picked up the save!

Fungoes had lost 14 of their last 15 before the DVs came to town.....we need some more DV games!
