The Strategy Is Working

You laughed at the time, but the strategy of letting the Cardinals score a zillion runs in the first game of the series to tire them out seems to be working. Of course, then the Reds went and scored a bunch of runs themselves last night, but they're used to it. They've got scoring stamina. It's an organizational tradition.
Yeah, weak smack, I know. It's been a tough week. Our boys will do the smacking for me tonight anyway.
David!
Ick. I feel dirty. This game is infested with Eckstein.
Goddammit.
Booooooooooo!
Arugh. Proxy and I had to go outside and play football to get away from the tenseness of the game.
Whew. Go Mercker. Way to avoid Jimmy’s second GS of the game.
Now if Griffey can just do something…
Drop…drop…drop…drop…dammit.
It’s just about time for more tossing football. I’m losing hair.
No way. This is what makes the games exciting.
Yeah, I like tight games, but ooooh boy.
Bah. Dunn.
C’mon Phillips. This can be your night.

Seriously, I can no longer identify our relievers by sight.
Go new guy! Not specific enough? Go newest guy! Well, except for Hollandsworth.
Yeah, I don’t know who those guys are.
Luckily, we didn’t do too much to improve the team, so we only have a couple new guys.
Oh Javy. Javy, Javy, Javy.
Four straight pitches. I hate Izzy.
All right, Richie! Tying run on first.
Go! Go! Go! Holy shit!
I REALLY hate Izzy.
Funny…LaRue didn’t look all that excited.
Ok, I gotta do laundry. Which is more fun that watching the Cardinals blow games. I’ll see you tomorrow?
They’ve at least tied the series. That’s a relief. I harbored secret fears of being swept.
So, tomorrow’s a day game. I might be able to sneak on during work. They’re actually fairly supportive of my blogging there. Not that GameDay smack is ever all that spicy…it’s the canned tuna of smack talk.
Always a pleasure, Ms. Scratcher. I look forward to chatting tomorrow.
I was there and by golly was that some amazing shit. Greatest game I’ve ever been to.
