After two very weak at bats in clutch moments with the bases loaded, Matty finally delivers with a 3 RBI-double off the right field wall. About time. With good BTB representation, I won't go into detail, but I was pretty sure this game was going wrong for the Rocks once the Reds took the lead mid-game. Cookie didn't have his best stuff and some profound unclutchness at the plate seem to be the order of the evening. Vizciano did a nice job coming into the game in the 6th inning to cleanup Cook's mess, and despite yielding one solo HR in the 7th (a familiar theme for L Vizzy lately), pitched very well. The middle of the lineup finally drives in some runs leading to a much-needed victory. I will also add that the umping was particularly shitty in this game.
I hope ST can post some on-the-field photos later.
HankDog diarrhea update: The shits seem to be subsiding somewhat. This experience has taught us both about the sanctity of a fecal-free home, as well as enlightening us both about HankDog's new favorite food, cottage cheese.

a satisfying game in the end, that I agree seemed destined for a bad ending. glad to not be right.
i did get some nice on the field shots of the Ive, she freaking loved it. ("i'm a real Rockie!" was the quote of the night)
myself, i loved that i got to slap ol' Josh Fogg on the back while making the on-field tour, when we got near the 3rd base dugout. dude is cool and was not at all freaked out by joe-blow offering up a "we miss you, here". in fact, he seemed stoked. not at all bothered by the fact that i touched him. (please understand it was only on the back of his shoulder.)
on another note (albeit a similar one). i saw Lappy and his kid at the concession stand behind homeplate. he actually seemed surprised by my "Lappy!"
i didn't attempt to touch him. probably for the best.
oh yeah. DT and me both were pleasantly shocked by Matty coming through when it counted tonight. to quote RKL, it's a Beautiful Feeling.
also...i've got bonus Todd bobbleheads in tow for both Purple Floss and Troutdog.
A delightful repap. I love the Ivey, Fogg, and Lappy stories! That's what america's game should be all about.
I will gladly accept a Helton bobblehead to stand next to my Helton nesting Russian doll.
Maybe Holiday was a little upset about my text to TD, about Cook being more clutch than him. I take it back... for the time being.
