Stymied.

I don't really know what to say about that game but it certainly seems like it deserves to have something said about it. It wasn't pretty--not the game and not the way I ended up watching it. Sat on the floor, sat on the couch. Turned the sound off, turned the sound back on again. Stomped around, grumbled a bit. Messed around on the computer, launched things at the television set.

Do you complain about the bullpen (specifically Justin Masterson and Manny DelCarmen) having a couple of bad nights seemingly in a row? Do you point out that when the bullpen is doing well, they're all do welling and when they suck, they all suck? Do you ignore that and say that John Smoltz looked pretty good? After having wailed about the lack of offense not all that long ago, do you comment on the fact that they were able to hit tonight? And do you cross your fingers that they'll be able to do it again tomorrow? (The hitting that is; I wouldn't want to see that kind of pitching again for awhile.) Do you congratulate JD Drew on that fan-freakin-tastic play? Do you write that Daniel Bard was good and Takashi Saito got the job done? Do you congratulate John Smoltz on his first AL win and Aaron Bates on his first major league hit?

Or do you not bother with any of it because they won and no matter how terrible, awful, no good, and very bad it was, in the end, that's all that really matters?
