LOL. Santo is great. :lol:

This team has no heart. Playoff teams don't come back to win games when trailing heading into the 9th.

 

We're now 2.5 games out, the season is over.

 

I gave up on this game. That post is great.

lol, Santo nearly gives birth to a baby, every time something big happens in a game.

 

Its getting to the point where its both funny, and ridiculous.

Haha. I just read the last 10 pages of this thread. It's funny watching people go from absolutely ticked off to absolutely elated in the matter of a couple minutes. Game threads are awesome. :smokin:

I was at the game today...perfect weather, oh it was blissful!

 

Only 2 cripes...

1) Murton left stranded on 3rd with 1 out after his awesome triple

2) Prior being left in too long

 

I also wanted Aramis to PH for Macias in the 9th but Macias was patient and drew the walk...it all worked out with Barrett (good thing Dusty PH him and didnt leave Blanco) and Aramis hitting singles.

 

Edit: I also didn't really understand why Walker was in the 5 spot...oh well :?

I disagree about Aramis batting for Macias. Macias' at bat was key because they would have walked Rammy if he had been brought up at that point. Once Macias reached it was also smart not to go with Aramis again (Barrett was the smart choice). Michael is faster and was better equipped to break up a potential DP. Today, Dusty made all the right moves late in the game and most importantly, the guys executed.

[Blueheart05]

Wow, how can you not PH ARam? Wow...

 

Because there was an open base and they would have walked him...

 

Yeah, I know I'm late responding but better late than never.

I also think that Macias batted in case Aram couldn't play in the field if the game went to extras. And that is why he hit for the pitcher.
