Danget!
Just think, we are facing the guy that Castellini and Krivsky really wanted to land this past off season and he is killing us.
Franklin in to pitch.
Valentin is now behind the plate.

Homer: We're proud of you, boy.
Bart: Thanks, Dad. But part of this D-minus belongs to God.
Durham grounds out to 2B. 1 out.

Franklin? Why Franklin????
I guess he is the guy that can keep the game within reach? The number one guy to go to in a situation like this? IDIOT!
Bray in the pen for the Reds.
Finley walks.

Benitez up in the pen for the Giants. The fans boo when they see him starting to warm up.

The runner steals 2B. Valentin makes a TERRIBLE throw. It goes into the outfield. Finley goes to 3B with 1 out.

Thanks Valentin...
I am real proud of you. There goes the DP opportunity.

Why are the fans booing Benitez?
Morris Doubles past a diving Dunn to LF. Not his fault there. 4-1 Giants. Game, set, match.
We will be one game out of 1st again. I just don't know if we have enough for clutch players like Jeff Suppan, who pitched a shutout in tonight's huge game for the Cards. We are also only going to be 1 ahead of the Padres still and 1.5 ahead of the Phillies.
Tomorrow Arroyo faces a typically tough Lowry, while Carpenter pitches for the Cards against the typically anemic Cubs lineup.
Franklin is still pitching, btw.

Game over.
Man, what did I tell you. Morris of all people beat up on Narron's freaking decision. Morris!
Looks like Felipe Alou knew he didnt even need a pinch hitter in that situation.
We have to give it to Narron. Franklin should be the guy to try to hold the bridge in a game we're down one in during 8th innings. He has a great 4.59 ERA, a WHIP near 1.50, a HR given up about every 6 IP and a low strikeout total. He should be the man! Narron is brilliant.
4-1 Giants after 8.
