Romo got Tulo to break his bat...Yeah, it was close. Romo got Tulo to break his bat--I thought that was a good sign. The next hit, as you say, was inches from an out. Then he threw three really poor pitches to Arenado after getting ahead 1-2. Two fouls, one XBH. If ever a guy was set up for the Romo slider on the outside corner, it was Arenado, but that ball was on the fat--no slide on that slider--and it was "game over." <br /><br />I had a premonition Romo would give up the ghost, even said so to my wife. (She blames me for his poor outing.) It was weird, I normally don't have such feelings, nor do I put stock in them, but last night was different. I had this terrible notion he was going to blow chow. After the 1-2 count I thought he'd sneak in that final strike and prove me wrong.<br /><br />M.C.

They called it a double, I thought it was a home run. I was watching the heat game and the giants game at the ale house in Coral Springs Fla. when Rosario came up, I said just do not give this guy a high fastball, because Bumgarner was using that pitch a lot. Rosario has burnt us on several occasions knocking the leather off the ball on a high fast ball. Next pitch, there it was, and before he even swung the bat, you just knew it. I don't know if the Rockies had their ball boy send out de-humidified balls in the bottom of the ninth, but he did come out and give the ump a few balls. But it was mistake pitches or stupidly conceived location that killed us. I hope Cain can get out of his funk and pitch a game winning gem. nomisnalahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08297640472949764321noreply@blogger.com
