I had a great time guest blogging the Lynx over here, but it really is time to leave. I rarely delve into game "analysis" (and it may fairly be said that I still haven't) so this was a unique opportunity. Thanks Neate.
Ottawa fans turned out in good numbers yesterday and got to see a pretty decent ballgame (boxscore, play-by-play), but in their continuing fear of commitment, fewer than 800 would stick around for a few minutes afterward for a world record attempt. Strange.
Landon Jacobsen (2-7. 5.02 ERA) (pictured) settled down after giving up a pair in the second inning - going five innings with 3 Ks. He did more than enough to keep the Lynx in it, but the bats just couldn't produce when it mattered most. Twice Ottawa had the bases loaded with one out and came away empty handed.
OoLF moment of the game: After losing his grip on the bat for the third time, with the final miscue rolling up to the foot of the visitor's dugout, a helpful Buffalo player threw out some pine tar towards Carlos Leon as he retrieved his misplaced lumber.
This evening's matchup features J.A. Happ who will try to give the Lynx another quality outing and win 996.
Gratuitous shot of my blog assistant, Zechariah, working yesterday's game.
