Game 128
What to say about the Roxs vs the Nats on a Friday night that just happened to be 80's night? Well if the offensive was any indication through 8 innings then I'm glad we weren't playing during the 80s! A listless game...the Roxs had runners on 3rd twice with 1 out or less and failed to get the run home. The Nats meanwhile built a 5 - 1 lead going into the 9th with their ace closer Cordero coming in. Up to this point the Roxs had just gone 1-3 against the pitiful Pirates and as any hope of a wild card was slowly slipping away the Roxs found life. First pitch, Tulo gets on...second pitch Holliday hits a homerun to the bullpen, 5 -3 hmmm things get interesting. Helton then singles, Atkins doubles, and Hawpe walks. Bases loaded, no outs. Torrealba knocks a single, two runs score the game is tied! A sac bunt gets runners to 2nd and 3rd. A pinch hitter gets the 2nd out. My man Matsui steps to the place, runners on 2nd and 3rd, 2 outs, tied game. Can we eck out one more run? A sharp liner to right of the 2B, Matsui is flying, a bobble with the ball, Matsui safe, runner scores, Rockies WIN....yeah! I think it saved our playoff hopes!
Good win...
