    or he can give up a solo shot then load the bases before shutting them down and still get a save.

    That doesn't sound too far fetched for Ducky early in the season.

    I don't think you can get a save that way.

    That would be like Ricky Davis shooting at the opponent's goal and getting the rebound for a triple double. ;)

    yeah he can. You can get a save if the tying run is on deck.

    Gagne got a save the other night with bases loaded and a 4 run lead.

    But I do not think you can be the person to put the runners on base.

    That's not how it works. The save is based on the situation when Dotel enters the game.

    Backe is in there.

    Jimy just called me from the dugout and I told him that after conversing with deepellumrocket, we thought it would be wise to use Backe instead of Lidge, Miceli or Dotel. He said "we'll do".

    123 for Backe! Game Over! What a win! This is like playoff atmosphere! I can't wait till we play the cubbies! That will be exciting when we beat them!

    7-0 Start for Roger Clemens. That is just incredible. I love the guy.

    Big win, our guys always show up when the time is clutch!

    A player only gets a save if he enters the game with the tying run on base, at bat or on deck. He cannot be in the game before any of those apply.

    Great win!

    Anyone watching the Cubs game on WGN? Wood just left the game possibly of an elbow injury, but I didn't hear what the extent of it was. That could be a big blow for them.

    He can also start the 9th with a 3 run lead and get a save. He can also pitch 3 innings to finish the game regardless of the score and get a save.

    Better question, who is younger!

    Did something happen to Kerry Wood? He got yanked in the 3rd after only giving up 2 earned runs......

    yet another great game by the stros. I haven't felt this good about them since the Johnson trade back in 98.

    7 homeruns for Biggio! :eek:
