Eight games left.
Today we are still in L.A. and the Dodgers are pitching Gregg Langbehn (2-4, 4.89).

I am hitting sixth.

I went to 2nd on a Tim Naehring single.
We were left.
I handled a Bill Spiers grounder for the last out in the 2nd.
In the bottom of the 3rd, Many Fariss scored on a Benito Santiago single - after an error by Tim failed to end the inning.
I made a very good play on a Chili Davis grounder to end the frame.
Dodgers lead 1-0
I came up with two out in the 4th and fouled out to Fariss.
I came up in the 6th with two out and the bases juiced and drew an RBI walk! Tim grounded out after that, but we tied it up.
