He drove in Fernando Tatis in that game, before being driven in by Jose Macias.

Eric Young was leading off for the Brewers.

Mike DeJean finished the game for the Brewers.

Fast forward to 2005 and DeJean gave up the last Bartolo hit while with the Mets.

Granderson's was just a straight steal attempt (would have helped had CYoung not swung through another pitch) and Wright was safe but then bounced off the base with his slide.

Well, I'm whistling Wright.

[Edgy MD]

Seth Maness, huh?

Mets used to have and Eric Maness grinding it in the minors. Same family?

[Edgy MD]

Colon getting his bunts down? EY finding his stroke? Cubs and Cardinal living together?!!

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

Eric Young is formless, shapeless. HE CANNOT BE CONTAINED.

That was one where, even though it never went to replay, the existence of the replay rule likely caused the out call because it certainly would have been reversed upon review had the Cards challenged it.
David just slid a bit late and hit the bag kind of hard and awkwardly then couldn't do the right-foot/left-foot switch quickly enough.

Bartolo: Only 76 pitches through 7 innings.

I'd like to see him finish this game.

My first guess as to who drove him in was Ty Cobb.

[Frayed Knot]

Through 8, only 80-some pitches, retired 13 of the last 14 ... let him stay in!!!!!

Or, funnier, Julio Franco.

With all due respect Jason Motte, I'd really love to see this heat make your beard spontaneously combust on the mound.

[Edgy MD]

A lot of Civil War re-enactors in beisbol these days.

[Edgy MD]

And Abreu steps up to bat for Colon.

Strap in, peeps.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

What the hell. He was hot!

[Edgy MD]

Am'n I reading correctly? den Dekker not replacing Young in center? den Dekker not replacing Young in left? den Dekker not replacing Young in center who in turn isn't sliding over to replace Young in left? Tejada not replacing Flores? Recker not replacing Teagarden? Campbell not replacing... SOMEBODY?!!!

I need to replace my underpants!

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Leadoff double in the bottom 9th.

Of course.

[seawolf17]

Thanks for not walking the leadoff hitter, Jenrry.

Oh, wait.

[Edgy MD]

Hi, I'm the tying run! I'm at the plate!

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Boy does this smell like a Jerry Manuel Special.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Now an HBP.

Gotta turn 3 here.

[Frayed Knot]

The odds of us winning this game are hovering at around 2-3%

Oh, hi, Lucas Duda! I'm the tying run! I'm here to visit you at first!

That guy at the plate? He's my buddy! The winning run!!

Suck it, tying run! You've been Flurphed!!

Josh making it seem as though the plan was to allow 2 runners so as to exploit Holliday's double-play tendencies.

Terry's an evil genius that way.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Tying run back on, and Terry summoning... Dana Eveland?

[Edgy MD]

Hi, Lucas Duda, I'm back here at <>

[Edgy MD]

Eveland. It comes down to this.
