Well, its around 10:30, game's over, so i thought I'd do my first blog on here. Holy cow, what a great tribute to Junior before the game tonight. Touched me. Tough loss tonight. That Billingsley kid, man he had it going on. We had a chance there in the 7th, but we couldn't come through. Corey up with two on, two out, thought for sure we was gonna get 'em in. He was swingin' the bat good tonight. Even squeezed one through for a hit. Tough luck on that steal, I thought he was safe. Somebody told me what Welsh said about not batting for Corey in the 7th . He said he didn't know why I didn't bat for him with a lefty on the mound. Then George Grande pointed out to him the obvious, that with Griffey out we didn't have any other outfielders. The Cranky Lefty said that Andy Phillips could go out there, that was the ballgame there, find somebody to play outfield. What I don't understand with this dude is he said it right there. Two outs, 1 run game, runners on second and third, a tough as nails lefty on the mound, who else would I want at the plate? Corey's been swinging the bat well lately, I was sure he was going to come through for us. Tough out. We'll come around though. And no more questions about Homer, man. Ask Walt. He pulls the strings. Gotta go, ran outta toothpicks.
