Not sure how much more i can take. 2-0 lead into the 8th. A third bullpen relieve blows the 2-0 lead and i am behind 3-2. So my starting pitcher ERA in the World Series is 0.00. And we've blown 3 consecutive saves! Take the lead 4-3 in the bottom of the 8th on a home run and so then i am thinking - who the heck do i bring in to close this out. I panic. I bring in my Game 1 starter (he who pitched a 14K, 1 hit shutout in the divisional series).
What does he do? Gives it up. To bonus cantos we go....top of the 12th - Baton Rouge gets the bases loaded......only to strikeout....phew.
Walk off homer by my underperforming catcher. Game Saved.
Interestingly enough - the 2 time reigning MVP for Baton Rouge - Renauld Maldini struck out 5 times....and i learned a new term - the PLATINUM SOMBRERO....any one ever heard of it.
And - better yet - what do i do in game 4? My bullpen is shot.
