NLDS Game 1 - Reds at Giants 10/6/12

I've got'em on HD

An amazing team win. And big props to Dusty and the coaches for cobbling together an amazing pitching performance.

I just want to say in behalf of Drew Stubbs and Dusty... the play Stubbs made going into the gap and returning a strong throw to the infield early in the game is a play Drew Stubbs and very few players in all of baseball make. More often than not a baserunner scores on that ball when there are two outs. It is very much like the "out" pattern a professional qb makes in the NFL, when he can roll in one direction and then throw across his body to complete a pass to a possession receiver to save a game. Very athletic.

Just sayin...

I have to sing at church in the morning, so I can't exactly sleep in and skip, but I don't think I'm going to be able to get to sleep too soon.

Massage, heat treatment, Ice treatment, shock therapy - whatever it takes to get Jonny ready. They're in SF - should be plenty of acupuncture options available.

That was huge.

I remember 1990 being in playoff games (22 years ago) vividly and the one game payoff in 1999, but the 1995 series is a blur. Glad that 2012 starts out good.

If it's a blur, that might just be all of Reggie Sanders' whiffs.

The first series was great, and then the NLCS was a major letdown.

I have to do the same thing. But church is different than work. Many sleep there :). Hope my voice holds out. I was yelling at the TV during the WVU-Texas game and this game. Regardless, I'm happy.

On another note, is it just me or has Dusty lost a lot of weight? He looks bad.

436 ft. on that Bruce bomb according to Hit Tracker, btw. That thing might have won a Toyota at home. :p

Yes I was at the game where they swept the Dodgers in the LDS in 95 but the Braves just totally shut them down in the NLCS
