Nice make-up call for that Backe strike huh? ... jk Man what a break ... WE MUST TAKE ADVANTAGE Due up in the 6th ... Rolen, Pujols, Edmonds, Walker .... Time to get some runs guys
Umm...yea...I just looked it up. The home plate umpire, Brian Onora, was born in Houston. Just kidding(although it wouldn't surprise me but, then again, what does in this day and age?)
Honestly, he didn't even have to slide... he would have been safe had he just run through... But, that's what you're trained to do. I still don't think he could have missed the plate... but the umpire was RIGHT THERE... so you have to believe him.
Alright... no excuses anymore. The Reds are helping us. The Umps are helping us. Even the Cardinals are helping us by batting Rolen 2nd, and having Carpenter injured. We have to win now!
Beltran with another triple! 436ft shot! But it isn't a HR! In any other field it would have been a HOMER! I HATE THAT HILL!!!!
Bagwell almost hits a HR that's 20 feet short of the warning track in most stadiums. Beltran almost hits a HR that's 20 rows up in the seats in most stadiums.
Cincy scores another... 7-2 now. We MUST play add on. Here comes Kiko... who we have never hit... but maybe a change from Haren will do them good.
3 innings. Hancock should have enough gas left to throw the 7th, he's facing the bottom of the order and has only throw 89 pitches.
