Jenn, I'll tell you, if you had a cardiac condition at the start of tonight's game, you wouldn't have survived to the finish. Byrd starts and we're quickly in a three zip hole. But wait, ten batters in the 6th and we're up 5-3--only to go down 7-5 in the 7th where we remained until the 8th when we tied--only to drop behind once more in the 9th (we really need this at that late time, right?)--only to pull things out in the final half inning and win 9-8. Jake got a couple of hits, but the only steal was by your hubby's double, Bay.
Meanwhile, I know you've recently been stressing about the pen, and, again, tonight, in one case, it's stress well deserved, but, on balance, the pen hung on and saved the game--once the offense brought us back. Tonight and last night, by the way, were without the services of Youk and Martinez. Youk's day to day with back spasms; Martinez has 'personal' issues, but have no idea what that means. Word is he may be back tomorrow.
At the end of the game, we had picked up another game on Texas in the Card, and reamined 6.5 behind the Stripes. Earlier it looked like we had a shot at gaining a game on both, but the Stripes came back. Oh well.
