what a catch by helms to end the game.. he is a much better first baseman than third

Yeah probably right, which means we can't always rely on Abe Nunez everyday. I would try to go out and get a Morgan Ensberg or someone like that.

2nd straight rough outing for Moyer. Utley did hit a homerun though. UGLY loss.

2 out of 3 from the Jays! I'll take that. We are finally above .500
