Slightly better this time, but the result is the same.  A good pitching effort is wasted by a lack of offense by the Bucs, even if Milledge and Church both had 3 hits.  This game wasn't on TV for unknown reasons.  I was kind of hoping that the rain would postpone the game, but it was merely delayed.  The Bucs streak of no rain-outs this season continues.  Charlie Morton only gave up 3 (!) runs, 2 in the second and a solo homer in the 3rd.  The Bucs rallied a bit in the 4th, scoring 2 off a Lastings Milledge triple and a Ronny Cedeno sac, but couldn't get anything going the rest of the game.

Very weird 9th.  Hanrahan strikes out the first two batters, and then loads the bases on walks.  A wild pitch third strike allows the runner to reach first and score a run.  John Russell is not happy with the call, as the Ump claimed that Jones's foot was off the bag on the throw.  Russell gets ejected for only the 2nd or so time in his career.

Nothing doing in the bottom.

GAME.
