Something to wake up to

Andre Either 0-for-3 at the time (while trying to keep alive his NL-longest, currently, hitting streak), comes up to the plate in the bottom of the eight innings against Ray King of the Colorado Rockies. King was just brought in for the sake of the matchups: lefty against lefty.

First pitch, ka-BOOOM, home run, and the streak is alive.

I don't care that the Rockies came right back on the triple by Helton and subsequent Kent's throwing error to tie the whole thing up (top of the ninth, two out as I write this).

The Ethier hit was definitely something worth waking up to :) (six o'clock A.M. in my parts of the world). Sweet.
