Apparently this is what the sports writers in St louis wanted to talk about.....In the top of the 11th, 2 outs and a runner on first, Albert Pujols comes up to bat, Pirates had a slight pull to the right on Pujols, and Pujols hits it to left center. McCutchen being McCutchen, got on his horse and ran the ball down, just shagged it as if it was a routine catch, no dive and ran it in. Pujols slammed his batting helmet to the ground.It wasn't a pretty win, we left runners on base in 9th and 10th innings and struck out 10 times.....but we've taken two of three from the cards...Maybe a sweep tonight......Not many balls have been hit into the river....this is the Pirate parrott waving the jolly roger  |
Love this! Yes, A. McCutchen was thrilling to watch! Pure athleticism and smarts!
Th Giants lost another heartbreaker last night again to Atlanta. over half of our starting team is out on injuries1 Both the trade players, Keppinger & Baltran are hurt. Burrill, Nate the Great, F Sanchez are out, too. I think Sandovol broke his foot now, too. I haven't been able to take a look yet.
I think SF is out, way out of contention for even our conference now. Damn!
