Gorecki is very fortunate there. If that throw is on target, Gorecki is on the next taxi back to Triple A.

Bobby should pinch run for Garret here. Gorecki can always play the outfield if this game goes extra innings.

Just got home. One word….
Pathetic.
Dodgers and Rockies playing each other (meaning one of the two teams we might be chasing has to lose tonight – the current WC leading Rockies are losing 2-0), and the Braves about to lose to the frickin Padres.
But yeah. We’re all supposed to get pumped about the 2009 playoffs, right? Things are still looking p for 2010.
But if there was ever a “must sweep” series, this was it. I’ll repeat it….
Pathetic.
This 9th inning will tell us all we need to know about this team’s chances at October baseball in 2009. Pull this one out, and we look like a team on the move. Choke it out, and well……
