remember when the indians were down by like 14 runs in that one game a few years back, and htey won it due in part to the actions of a pre-mets robbie alomar? i mean, its not at all common for a team to come back from 8- or 10-run deficit, but that's no excuse to stop trying. as for the pitchers, i want him to throw strikes so he's not tired for the next game. if he's throwing balls, he's wasting his arm.
