Anything for the team. To tell you the truth, I forgot today's game was an afternoon game. I was counting on watching the game tonight. Oh, well. At least they should get out of Atlanta with a split. dfs >

From: john smith on 20 May 2010 17:55 The ball Cairo booted was hit like a rocket but a good third basemen makes the play. Why can't Rolen play one inning of defense? I agree that you give Lincoln two batters at the most in the ninth inning. Baker never lets a pitcher finish on a positive note. That is Dusty Baker's main flaw as a manager. What a blow for Leake to get a no decision in a game like this. Just when you take a huge step forward as a team. It all changes and you have a game like this along with a series sweep, albeit two games. When The Reds caught the Braves last night in the ninth inning and put that winning run on second, good teams more often than not find a way to win that game. But the Reds didn't. I thought all that bad karma was going to be erased today with the 8 run second inning. I said wow its back on the gas pedal after that mini bump last night. Boy, was I wrong....What happened to the defense today, 4 or 5 errors...Wheres Janish and Rolen in the ninth inning? A 6 run lead was obviously not enough......

Bullpen's are fickle. If they don't get out there, they are too rested and can't pitch. If they get out there too often, they are tired and can't pitch. You have a 6 run lead? you try and manage to rest/save guys. It didn't work. dfs |
