Okay, show of hands, everyone. Who here was surprised to see Ryan Franklin give up that homer? Anyone? No? Well, that's fine. I wasn't either. In fact, I honestly turned to my father (who I was watching the game with last night), and said, "Tie game" the second Franklin gave up the base hit. Sometimes the train sneaks up on you. Other times, it comes roaring out of the tunnel, lights blazing and whistle...

Just to show that not everything is about politics- Jason Isringhausen has blown another save and the Cardinals and Dodgers are heading into extra innings. The Cardinals led 4-0 going into the bottom of the ninth, but relievers Ron Villone, Isringhausen, and Ryan Franklin gave up four runs. If the Cardinals had held the lead, it would have been the first win of the year for Chris Carpenter.
