Not a chance I'll be able to stay up for all of this. I work at 6am. *sigh* It sure would be nice to wake up to a 2-0 lead though. *crosses fingers*

Frazier, all season long has come up big in big games.

This is Dusty being Dusty...loyalty to the veterans...who had one error and should of had another error if it were not for Phillips saving his butt. 0-4 at the plate too.

Free Frazier!!
Little League WS bigger than MLB playoffs? You are kidding, right?

But you know that Rolen is easily the better defender on a day to day basis, those were some tough plays that he tried to make. Really not fair, its not like he airmailed easy throws.

Like it or not, you have to lean for the D, just like Stubbs. If you are going to rely on pitching and D, you lean toward the D in the playoffs, where runs are likely scarce anyhow.

I have dispatchers on duty in the morning, so I can sleep until I'm done, or until my phone starts ringing, but I'm not setting an alarm.

Based on that theory, shouldn't we try and find Sean Borroughs and bring him back?

What Frazier did at the age of 12 means nothing about wether he should be playing today.

I mostly agree. But there IS something to be said for a person who plays better on bigger stages. Some people tighten up when the pressure builds, others get more excited and more focused. My brother and I are that way and sometimes it's hard to understand why others aren't. When the game is on the line, my adrenaline starts pumping and I'm simply more intense...not herky-jerky. Although, that being said, we have no idea if Todd was truly that way or just in the right place at the right time.
