By the way Fryman he should have defected before the game. That's really a pretty strong lineup the Expos put out there. IIRC Warren Cromartie was a pretty good player who went to Japan and was star over there. The Reds just didn't have the pitching in 77 to stay with the Dodgers.

Boots Day,one of my favorite names of past baseball. What is Sparky thinking? Starting Joe Hague instead of Geronimo in RF. He should be fired!

Of course, they got shut out. Probably bought a leftie in late in the game and shut them down.

Nope. Freddy Garcia pitched 8 innings of 3-hit ball, striking out 7 and walking none. Then Kazuhiro Sasaki pitched a scoreless ninth for the save, allowing 2 hits and striking out 1.
