Great job by Piazza dropping the foul popup four pitches before.

 

Not to mention that great two-outs, tying run on third at-bat by Joe Mauer.
Gotta love the way the greatest hitter since Ted Williams worked that at bat.

 

And semi-obvious but smart observation by Hershiser right after the drop that "this will come back to haunt them." Pujols -- unlike A-Rod -- has a knack for coming up big in these types of situations.

 

I'll take the over in a heartbeat.

 

You don't work the at-bat with the tying run at third. You try to drive in the run.

 

Well all of us look pretty dumb so far today, with the Athletics winning and the Cardinals rolling. I guess that means the Tigers will win tonight.

 

If Bartlett doesn't scare the shit out of Gardy iwth piss-poor running and Castillo gets the bunt down, it doesn't matter.

But good try. ;D

 

Only if there is a God.

 

Fucking Astros.

 

Clutch by the Cards there to escape that 7th-inning jam.

 

Yeah, that was an awesome play by Ronnie Belliard.
