That is what Caballo can do, hit the dam ball. I think this may be the spark he needed, I can see a major run coming our way. :grin:
Yea but I also guessed that Blum or Michaels would come through in the 8th. I sort of felt like we were gonna win this one as we got into the later innings.
I think that anybody watching this game sort of got the feeling that we were going to pull it off. Arizona repeatedly couldn't take the lead despite getting a lot more men on base. I think it was when Bourn made that amazing grab that I felt we had to get this one. Not really sound reasoning. Maybe I just wanted it more because of the pitching and defense stepping up. If you haven't seen the Bourn catch, it's a must-see.
That was crazy. 95 mph high heater right over the middle of the plate. I'm glad Lee wasn't taking on the first pitch like he usually does.
Here's the amazing Bourn catch: http://mlb.mlb.com/video/play.jsp?content_id=7854849 What makes it amazing is how the ball knuckles back to the left at the last second but he's able to stay with it.

It seems like Lee may be done with his slump. He has been hitting better the last couple of weeks, and hopefully more HRs will follow.
Thanks--I missed the game yesterday And seeing Bourn's catch makes me feel better.. I swear I made the exact same play in softball a couple of years ago. Except it was further into Right-Center. But I thought to myself "man, if I was a better fielder, I would have read that right and not overran it". But now at least I can say "maybe it was a knuckler and I had to do what Bourn did"
They didn't even move him from 2nd. Quite a few bad swings by Keppinger, Berkman and Lee. Haren looks like he's gonna strike out 15 tonight.
I didn't notice that. I did notice him swing at a ball a foot above the zone and another inside near his ankles. I believe they said that he went around on the 1st pitch if that's what you're referring to. Yea, I just checked... He went around, swung at a high pitch, took a ball then swung on a pitch around the ankles. Can't blame the ump there.
Wandy looks like he's gotten it together. I still can't figure out how much it was Haren in the 1st vs our guys having poor ABs.
