Yeah!!! What a great game.. I just had a very emotional game 7 of the World Series. I decided to start my one good starting pitcher despite only 3 days rest (my other stud starting pitcher had a season ending injury on the first day as chronicled in one of my other posts.) Anyway, he gave me 5 great innings but then was exhausted. My suspect bullpen gave up 5 runs over the next three innings to give the KC Royals a 6-5 lead. I went into the 9th with the same bottom of the inning that I described earlier. I managed to get a man on first(Prime again who was clutch this offseason), but then two guys hit weak pop ups (Jones who had 4 HR in the 7 game WS and Bales who was a very disappointing slugger the whole Post Season.) So, I'm down to the last out of the year and Bornstein manages to get a bloop single to RF which somehow gets the slow Prime to 3RD! Now it is Torres again who has hit 2 key Post Season homers to equal his 2 regular season homers. Two outs, man on 1st and 3rd can Torres do it again? No, he hits a routine ball to 3rd, but the 3rd baseman bobbles it allowing us to tie the game!!! I screamed so loud my wife rushes into the room to make sure everything is ok.
I then bring in my 5th starter due to severe strain on the bullpen and he manages to pitch a scoreless inning allowing us to go into extra innings. In the 10th, I get two outs and manage to get to Jones who hits a towering 5th homer of the WS!!! Again my wife rushes into the room at my screaming (You think she would be used to it by now
) I bring in my aging closer despite his blowing game 6 and he manages to barely grit out the inning despite allowing men on 1st and 2nd and I win my first World Series ever on OOTP5!!!
