Fortunately this time there was nobody on base and the Cardinals still lost by three runs. Solo homer can go 600 feet, it ain't gonna do nothing when you're down by four.
Sirott really is terrible. It'll be even better later this week and next week as Ron stays back from the road trip and we get Sirott + Dave Otto for every 5th inning. ](*,)
The thing about that screen behind home plate at every park is that it prevents the former from happening. The guy just freaked out and lost his popcorn and, appropriately, the lady he was with laughed at him mercilessly the next few minutes.
I was at that game. Marmol gave up 5 runs in the 9th to blow it and then Marshall pitched scoreless relief in extra innings and singled to start the winning rally. What? This game? Lincecum is going to [expletive] our [expletive] up. :(
There has to be at least one baserunner or it's not a Gregg save. Didn't we say that about Woody too? Yeah, but you knew Woody would get out of it. I don't have that confidence in Gregg yet.
I didn't see it, but if the comments from that day's game thread were any indicator (Friday, maybe?) then she was as awkward and perhaps insane as she is hot.
