Great series that ended on an exciting play at the plate. Conine throws out Jose Cruz Jr. at the plate. Pudge with a great block of the plate and held onto the ball after the collision The Florida Marlins advance to the NL Championship Series.
Felipe Alou made many mistakes during the last 2 games of this series. Yesterday/Last night, he used up all his position players, leaving him with no pinch hit options after the 9th inning. Today he should have had a pinch runner in for Cruz. That was the tying run with 2 outs in the 9th inning. Hats off to Jack McKeon. 72 years young a masterful job of taking a terrible Marlins team and turning them around after he took over in May. The Marlins were drowning, six games under .500 when McKeon arrived.
Marlins on a role - look like they are that team of destiny for this season just like the Angels were last year.
I told my brother it would be the Marlins and the Cubs in the NL Championship. I can see the Marlins in the big 'Series for a second time.
