Tom Terrific, Bullpen Blows
Tom Glavine pitched a brilliant seven innings tonight, allowing 1 hit and 1 walk to the Pittsburgh Pirates. He threw 78 pitches, 50 for strikes and left with a two nothing lead. Before the bullpen could get an out in the 8th, that lead had disappeared. The Pirates scored 7 that inning off three different relievers, two of whom did not get an out. The Pirate pen did its best to give the game back, but Jose Mesa stayed perfect in save opportunities and the Pirates held on for a 7-6 win.

Hey now, Mesa didn't try to give the game back. I'm pinching myself.
Lots of really good pitching performances tonight. Oswalt and Johnson threw shutouts. Jason Schmidt carried a no-hitter into the 6th inning, and Odalis Perez threw 8 innings of shutout ball, completely stifling Bonds until Gagne took over. The Angels were shut out by the Oakland staff, too.
Let's not forget about Matt Riley giving up one run and one hit against Toronto for the O's.
What a disappointing loss for NY.
Kudos to Roy Oswalt though. He looked terrific.
this bullpen is rough.... our starters with the exception of two outting have been great... some offense would have been nice today, to give traxie the win
