One last chance.
Bruce, Heisey and a pinch hitter due up
Myers in to pitch. Bogusevic in to play right.
Bruce flies out to center.
Heisey fouls out to 3rd.
Last chance. Ludwick steps up to hit the 3 run solo shot. *grin*
K. Ballgame.
I'm glad I went to last night's game instead.
Ludwick strikes out swinging. Reds lose 5-3.
Tough game to lose. Now, if the Mets can beat the Cardinals again tonight, we still lose ground with Pittsburgh still winning despite everyone's proclamation that they will come down to earth. If that happens, we're up 3 and it's Pittsburgh in second place. If the Cards win, we are once again 2.5 up.
I do know this. If I were the manager, and it's probably a good thing I'm not, Bronson always goes only 6 innings. More often than not, bad things happen after 6 for Arroyo.
