Lost 15-2

The Atlanta Falcons defeated the New York Giants today, 15-2, in front of just 38,602 fans at Giant Stadium. The Falcons scored 8, after Anderson Hernandez fumbled, and Omar Infante returned it to the endzone. The Giants then let Brian McCann take it in himself for the 2 point conversion. The other touchdown was scored when Bobby Parnell threw an interception that was returned by Matt Diaz. The Giants got their 2 points when Chipper Jones uncharacteristically got tackled in his own endzone for a safety. After the game, Coach Jerry Manuel said the fumbles and interceptions were due to "a lack of communication." The next Giants game is at the Miami Dolphins.
Wait, what? Oh, right. Football season hasn't started yet. Except for pre-season. Oh. Sorry, about that.
Ok, the baseball game: Parnell gave up a bunch of soft hits, then Anderson Hernandez bailed on him defensively, (and so did Castillo), and then Parnell gave up a 3 run bomb. He should still be left in the rotation for this year, but he has more promise as a reliever. Nelson Figueroa gave up 2 runs in 2 innings, Tim Redding gave up 3 runs in 3 innings, and Green gave up 1 run in an inning. Parnell went 3 and gave up 9. The Mets got their runs in the 3rd and 5th, but the Braves could've pitched Tom Glavine right handed, and they still would've won.
Stupid Decision of the Day: Luis Castillo not going to second, and Anderson Hernandez not throwing to first. You are taught in little league to get the sure out. This is the Majors, Anderson.
Random Thought of the Day: It's 15-2, and a position player doesn't even get to pitch? Jesus, Jerry, give these fans something entertaining. At least it takes their mind off the drek that they paid to watch.
