Victorino Leaves with Bum Back

Shane Victorino left tonight's game against the Los Angeles Dodgers after his at-bat in the top of the seventh inning because of lower back stiffness.

"I felt it in BP today," he said.

Victorino said he doesn't think it's serious, and hopes it won't prevent him from playing in tomorrow night's game.

"I hope not," he said. "But we'll see. I think it happened yesterday. I don't know when."

Great! Just what we need! And I guess we all knew the bullpen couldn't hold it together forever. Maybe they should have put Lidge in. Sore arm or not. And note to Charlie.....Quit pulling Burrell late in the game!!!! Despite his FIRST error of the season, he would have made that throw to the plate that Taguchi couldn't!
