ONE 4 DA GOOD GUYS — For a change.
Hope this is a momentum builder down the stretch.
Chipper gets it done & they are not BUMBS anymore.
This will go down s a signature W if they do finssh the job and make the playoffs.
We had a must W game and got it done.

Watching the 9th inning (rewinded mlb.tv)…. that error (or did they call it a hit) on Prado’s ball reminded me of the ball Chipper lost in the lights last year in Florida right before Infante hit the walk off HR.
Maybe tonight is the night that builds momentum. Maybe not. But either way it’s a game they should have lost that they did not.
When you compare that to all the games they should have won but lost down the stretch last year, and then calculate that they finished one game out?
You realize that simply one game swinging in their favor in the luck department, might be the difference.
This team has clearly shown that they are good enough to go on a hot streak that if they make it past that one game “play-in”, they just might do some damage. They have also shown that they are capable of losing 8 of 10 games at any moment.
Will they make it? Not sure.
Will they choke if they get “in”? Not sure.
Will they win the whole damn thing? Not sure.
But they do need to play better than they played for 26 of the 27 innings in this series if they want to not only make it in, but actually do something when they get there.
Would have been a fun game to go to.

I wonder how many of the doomsayers will apologize – not to me – to the Raves. Love Moylan not giving up on his comeback, symbolic of the Raves tonight. Chipper got the Raves out of a 4-game losing streak at the start of the season and started them on a winning streak. To paraphrase Bogart, this could be the continuation of a beautiful relationship.

George_George…… Never went anywhere. Just had better things to do with my time that argue with the same people I will never meet. Easier to scroll, get my information and leave.
But it’s still entertaining. But it won’t ever be the same as it was 3-4 years ago when DOB was in regular conversations with the bloggers. Now most of what he blogs is just a repeat of what he tweets. Which is fine. We still get our “inside information”.
But most of what made this blog great years ago, was the constant conversations with DOB. Even the bickering over music and stuff like that. But now?
I could make you a list of which bloggers are going to be on at various hours of the day. Who they will be arguing with. Who will be bitching about what and who will be telling them to shut up. Who will be flying off the handle. Who will stick up for another blogger that isn’t around at that moment…. and so on…..
