2 plays the last 2 days that seemed insignificant at the time probably cost their teams a game and likely the series. Yesterday Brandon Phillips of the Reds stupidly trying to get 2 bases on a wild pitch cost them a run. Turns out Reds would have won in 9 innings 2-1. Now they go to game 5 with Giants having all the momentum. Now tonight Adam Jones in what seems like lack of concentration (except for blowing bubbles) doesn't get the proper jump on a ball costing Orioles a run. Sure the wind was a factor but he didn't seem to be going all out to get to it. If he makes the play Ibanez doesn't tie it with his first HR and Orioles win 2-1. Everything is magnified in postseason so any momentary lapse in judgement or nonchalant play can be catastrophic. Mark down these 2 plays as possibly costing a season's worth of work for these 2 teams.
OK Who Has The Balls To Take The Yankees Tonight Knowing Brock Is On Them?

#75I think it's hard to say that a single play cost a team a series in a 5 game set. Now Chipper Jones is a different story. He cost his team the season with his error.
It looked real bad Jones was blowing a bubble BUT I think the wind was the biggest factor. That ball carried a lot.
How about Steve Drew getting gunned out at 3rd in the th inning for the A's. Down 2-0 and hits a cappers with a runner on. Scores the run but DUMBFUK tries to stretch it to a triple and gets thrown out. They would have had a runner on 2nd, no outs, and 3-5 up. They could have played small ball and scored the run easy. Now it's 2-1 Detroit and they're 6 outs away from their season being over.Comment -

#78Well on the bright side Gonzalez is out of the game. That mother fukker had ice water running through his veins. Hopefully Baltimore's reliever blows it. I don't know what to say. Fukk.
Where the fukk is Ibanez? Have Ibanez pinch hit for Arod. Arod is one of the biggest choke artists ever.Comment
