Ronnie Belliard hit a fly ball to center field. Nyjer Morgan took three or four steps back, thinking it was a deep drive. Then he suddenly realized the ball wasn't hit that well and came racing in. The ball still landed a good 10 feet in front of him. Then, Morgan inexplicably fired the ball toward home plate but off-line, basically to no one. Belliard advanced to second on a bizarre play that left Atilano in a major hole."<br /><br />Did you leave the press box? :)cadeck13noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3442809928829881676.post-28636044084029603072010-04-23T21:04:01.189-04:002010-04-23T21:04:01.189-04:00People like to bag THE PLAN, and I know it's h...People like to bag THE PLAN, and I know it's hardly like we are a contender, but to see Ramon Ortiz, Ronnie Belliard and Jamey Carroll play against us, while a young first gamer throws a quality start is pretty cool.Gusnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3442809928829881676.post-55749012155412290172010-04-23T21:02:53.850-04:002010-04-23T21:02:53.850-04:00Looks like Dunn is finally getting hot againLooks like Dunn is finally getting hot againAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3442809928829881676.post-39502783451911506372010-04-23T20:54:28.208-04:002010-04-23T20:54:28.208-04:00Good job by Atilano!
