Man see how easy some give up and there are people here that didn't think Milton could do win the game for us
now we got to face Carpenter with Harang at the helm this will be a great game
Wow, what a game! Almost a complete reversal from last night's disaster.
The crowd was huge and absolutely electric tonight. Everyone was into the game and happy/excited. You could sense the energy in the park the entire game.
Milton looked pretty good tonight. He seems to do well when I'm there.
Obviously the big story tonight was Freel. Just incredible. I was in the upper deck going down the 1B line, so we had a nice overhead view of "The Catch." That MUST have been the best catch I have EVER seen in person and probably one of the better catches ever. I am totally serious. He had to catch up to that ball in a hurry and he covered a TON of ground in a very short period of time. He then stretched out and held on as he slid halfway across the warning track. For him to then get up and fire the ball to 2B and ALMOST get the runner made it even more incredible. He then fist pumped and yelled "YEAH!" as the crowd stood for literally two or three minutes and cheered him on. I got tingles from that whole play!! Just incredible!!!
The crowd cheered him as he left the field after the half inning and again when he batted next. The replay of the catch was shown over and over and the crowd applauded every time it was. When Freel came to the plate and everyone started cheering again, you could just sense the thrill of the situation. Everyone was smiling and just excited in general. Wow!
Even when we got the big lead, the crowd kept rooting the players on for more, and tonight they certainly delievered. Hatteberg had another good game(I like the 1-2 punch of Freel and then him right now), Griffey had a pretty good game, Edwin was again clutch, and Dunn had a big hit too. Aurilia had a nice game and Ross made that very poor play at home but had a nice Double. Clayton was the only one who wasn't particularly stellar, although he did get a hit.
What a great game to go to!
MVP: Freel
The Simpson family gathers around, as Homer places Bart's passed test on the fridge.)
Homer: We're proud of you, boy.
Bart: Thanks, Dad. But part of this D-minus belongs to God.
I like that post CRF! I am glad you were at the game and got to witness the greatness that is Ryan Freel at his best. You being there and bipster being here payed off!
Anyhow, this game is a definite turn around for the team and I hope it shows that they can still be in it. I say we did pay the Cards back for what they did to us on Monday.
Lets get another big win tonight for Harang!
MVP: Freel without a doubt!
Any one see the top 10 plays on SportsCenter? They said Freel's catch could be an ESPY nominee.
No, I didn't see that, but he better be getting some respect for that catch come "greatest plays of the year" and "web gems of the year." His has got to be the best catch of the year. That one and the Gary Matthews Jr. rob a few months ago (he got one again last night BTW). Both of those catches should stand as the best of the year.
