Beautiful night at Miller park for some baseball...
I wasn't gonna play, but he's been trying to reach me for a while, and I gave in and played him. I felt like I needed some positive output from my fatty mcwhities.

This game I felt good first few innings. That is until I started hemmorhaging runs..I pitched pretty well, but I gave up a good amount of action due to shit-tastic fielding. I was hitting the ball, it just wasn't leaving the outfield. I got one mercy homer by Tulowitzki after his pitcher was gassed, but it didn't make a dent in his 9 runs. I did end up completing the game and killing his chance of a third straight mercy rule game vs. the Turd.
Key to the loss: Fielding like shit resulting in lots of runs for the Rocks.

This game was a pitcher's duel for the first 5 innings or so, when I left a hanging fastball over the plate and he jacked it for 2 runs. I immediately got angry, and talked myself out of being able to win. I couldn't hit the ball out of the outfield last game, so how was I gonna come back from a 2-run deficit? I mean, I was hitting the ball well, but who was I kidding? Well, the answer came shortly thereafter. McCann was up to bat with one on, and he jacked a homer! Joy! Rapture! I tied it up. I could have died happy there. But wait, there's more...Gerut steps up, gaps the 1st/2nd basemen, and then Tulowitzki came to bat. And boy did he ever...1 pitch in he jacked a 2-run go-ahead shot, his second bomb in as many games. From there on out, the 'pen pitched pitched a fantastic game, only putting me in danger once. Soriano came in to shut the door with 1 out left in the 9th, and we broke our losing streak.
Key to the win: Clutch hitting and good enough fielding to get the job done.
GGs SuckerPunch, and good luck the rest of the season.
Thanks for staying up and playing me Turd! I was on a high in that second game after Hawpe hit that pinch hit 2-run blast off the screen and thought I would cruise to victory. You had a great 6th inning which will teach me to take out a tired pitcher when facing the heart of a lineup. Still, I thought I would be able to come back, but you pitched awesome and didn't make any fielding errors and earned a great victory.
Yeah, that second game was a roller-coaster of emotions...I just feel good that I got a win and it wasn't a slop win either...you're a good sport Sucker...
