All Knotted Up
The series and the Cardinal batters. Mulder pitched a great game, Oswalt was just better. Like other-worldly better. That combined with the less than stellar defense, well, the Cardinals were totally out played. Tip the cap and such.
It's not that we lost, after all Roy was nigh unhittable, it's the way we lost. I don't know what was happening with Yadi behind the plate tonight or Jimmy batting. Can't give the other team free bases or have Albert keep coming up to lead off the inning. Tavarez...ugh. Marquis did well, even after his little bitch-fest to the Post. So it was an off-night for pretty much everyone. Terrible timing, but after playing so well for four postseason games, it was almost bound to happen. Better now than in an elimination game. Need to regroup and take a couple at that monstrosity they try to pass off as a ball park in Houston.
And I hope to Christ Reggie is OK.
