Shannon Stewart was pulled from the game in the ninth after he complained of tightness in both hamstrings.
"He told our trainer he was sore in one leg in the seventh, and then it was both legs in the ninth," Tosca said.
This is exactly what Shannon was trying to avoid by working out with Desai Williams, but it's a chronic problem, and the reason I stopped legging out triples in about 1975. In the same piece, by Mark Zwolinski in today's Star, Cory Lidle admits to concentration lapses late in games, especially with big leads, but also says he's pitching like he did last August. His honesty on both counts is refreshing.
Elsewhere at waymoresports.com, Richard Griffin says the main difference between Rocco Baldelli and Jayson Werth is opportunity. I hope he's right, but I'd make that trade in a heartbeat.
