Nickname for blown game?

As we watched Jack Taschner turn Brett Myers' 2-1 lead into a 3-2 deficit in the 7th inning, Christine decided he needs a nickname.

J.T. is too obvious, and we know already know a J.T.

I suggested Traschman.

She said he's not cleaning up other people's messes, but creating his own.

I said it's more that he's pitching like garbage.

My next suggestion, Tasch-hole, just drew a glare.

Any suggestions?

The Phillies wound up losing 4-2 - Brad Lidge gave up the final run - spoiling a solid outing from Myers. With hope, the Red Sox will fare better in their nationally televised game against the Rays tonight. Matt Garza vs. Josh Beckett.

It's got to be an error, but the Globe has Dustin Pedroia playing short tonight.

We'll be watching and hoping to report on a win tomorrow.

Oh, heard on ESPN radio this morning: "The Mets, like a drunk on a bar stool, woke up in first place this morning. The only question is how long before they fall off."

And, Javier Lopez is no more. Welcome up, Daniel Bard. Funny, I was playing Baseball Mogul the other day, and they had a picture of the old Braves catcher Javy Lopez instead of our now former reliever. Christine always gets the two J-Lo's confused too, along with every other Javier or Lopez who ever played Major League Baseball. {Sorry, some weird mental block from watching Javy for all those years on TBS and playing against the Phils.}
