LS - you ca blame that one on Matheny and he deserves some criticism. But that game was lost, just as much, in the 7th. When you have bases loaded and no outs, you have to score. To make it even more frustrating, that was the meat of the order. It wasn't like it was the 8 & 9 hitters that needed to come through.

As bad as the 7th went for us, we came out of the 7th WITH THE LEAD. OURS TO LOSE.

Up 2-1 in the top of eighth, 2 out, your set up man just having come around....so what do you do?

You DO NOT bring in a lefty who has been suspect in the past month. You stay with your set up man. You win or lose with your set up man or hell bring in your closer. No one thought otherwise, other than Mike Matheney. And believe me, I was screaming at the tv when he pulled that bone headed move.

I like Matheney, but he tinkered that huge game straight down the toilet.
