The worst kind of loss is a 1-0 loss. When a team has this much potential offense, there is no excuse for zero runs and one hit. On the bright side, great job from the mound tonight... although I don't think Hamels has found his groove yet. If the wind weren't a factor, the margin of defeat would have been larger.

At least you got to see the game.

Question: Based on what you saw, how did tonight's wind compare to Saturday?
It's hard to compare what I see on TV to what I felt "irl". The wind didn't seem to affect the game Saturday, while it did last night.
Did they show any shots of the flags? Were they (for lack of a better descriptor)fully flying? And in what direction?
I'm going to revise my first guess. The wind was blowing at a solid 3 Bft -- in from left/center field.
On Saturday, I took note of the flags and the were at a minimum of 3 Bft every time I looked - and often higher (where the flag was straight out and hardly fluttering at all).
I ask because of two homeruns - the one Pat hit on Saturday and the one last night. Pat's must have been a rocket to cut through that wind. And it's a shame the wind didn't push Zimmerman's foul. It looked really close on the "highlights" I saw.
Quoth Johnny Cochrane: "If you're 0-2, the fans will boo."
