The first three innings were the key. We had a lot of opportunities, but we didn't score. That came back to hurt us.

Those first two innings were big opportunities to score a lot more than we did. Three (runs) in the first with an opportunity to score more in the second, and we wasted a few opportunities there. It wasn't like we were giving away at-bats or anything like that. It just didn't happen for us.

Back to one run again -- that's not going to cut it. Score one run and there's a low percentage of winning ballgames.

We were up there hacking like chefs at Benihana's the first three innings.

Not too shabby. Getting out of that first inning was huge for him, because you could see he was nervous, but he got that big double-play ball and then he settled in.

It seemed like we slept through the first three innings and really put ourselves in a big hole. We need to play better ball from the first inning through the seventh, not just sleep-walk and hope things go our way.
