OoTS - 4/26/05

[Elster88]

Milwaukee leading Atlanta 5-2 in the 7th. The Brewers have the bases loaded with one out.

[Frayed Knot]

Jose Hernandez takes Isringhausen deep w/2outs in the 9th to tie the StL-Pitts game at 3.

Cincy shutting out Washington 5-0 in the 9th


Florida leading Cubbies 3-1 in the 4th

[Frayed Knot]

So the Pirates get a new life and bring in Robo Hernandez ... who promptly gives up a single (Eckstein), single (Luna) and GW-RBI single (of course Pujols) and the Cards win anyway.

[Frayed Knot]

Brewer closer Derrick Turnbow gives up 2 in the 9th but Milw holds on for a 5-4 win, sweeping the Braves for the first time ever (of course EVER is only since 1997).



Tough spell for closers lately; been following Lidge down in Houston?

[Guest GYC]

Piazza just hit #400 off of Jose Valverde, bringing the Padres to within 1 run (3-2) in the bottom of the 9th.

[Gwreck]

Piazza hit #400 against San Diego this afternoon.

[Frayed Knot]

Tough day for closers all around.
- Izzy & Robo blow leads in the same game.
- Then Wagner gives it up to some clown
- And now -- [HowardCosellvoice]RIGHT NOW[/Cosellvoice] -- Mariano gives up 2 runs to the DevilDogs in the 10th (his 2nd inning) and the MFY lose to TB


on edit: Cordero of Texas also blows one vs Oakland
