Craig, you said you’d like tickets to a NY/PHI game—this was the one to be at. Sometimes, the difference between a win and a loss is who has the most bad things happen to them. It was a typical game like we had during the losing streak—Jim Bouton walks 6 in 4.2 IP, but we can only score 2 runs as Bouton is saved by GIDP and me falling back to being too aggressive on the bases. But we nurse that 2-1 lead—keeping the Fever from doing much of anything. So I bring in Gordie Richardson, our Proven Closer™, 2 singles and 2 walks later the game is tied. DH Marvin Lane, a Gene Tenace type hitter (100 walks, 20 HR and 90 Hit potential) dribbles one to Rolando Americo Biancalana—who can’t add to his 288 assists, instead makes his 13th error. 3-2 Fever, with Shawn (Proven Closer™) Barton set to enter the game. So two out (one a man thrown out at the plate because of my aggressiveness) and Dan (3-23 with runners in scoring position) Dobbek steps in. Lefty versus lefty match-up, start packing up the bats. Dobbek hits a line shot past the SS, and now we’re going to extras. Dobbek drops a fly ball in the 10th, but Jeff Terpko gets the fourth out with no problem. A single-ground out-single (Frank Campos extending his hitting streak at the last possible moment) to set up Rolando Americo Biancalana. A Shawn Barton pitch later, we’ve swept the Fever and have pulled ourselves 5 GB, tied with PIT. Keep hope alive brother!

No comment necessary. Wow.
