What a fucking roller coaster ride. I was with a friend who really doesn't follow baseball too well, and I spent the earlier part of the 9th explaining the "untuck" to him. We were all ready and waiting for it everyone on their feet when....well you know what happened. Jeter's game tying HR was fantabulous, though. Made my night even though they couldn't close the deal. Good night all. just got back to my friend’s house in Jersey City.

The Giants are my second team, and while my Dodger hate has diminished with the Torre and Donnie era, my wrath has been turned up after this idiotic trade.

And my *feeling*, not backed up by hard evidence, is that mix-n-match in the middle innings has failed a lot lately.

Now that's kind of depressing, because if not for that run Jeter's homer would have been a walk-off. (Yes, I am 100% certain that all the other at-bats would have gone exactly the same way.)

This time it was just that Soriano's flaws finally cracked all the way through. (And Teixeira having to leave.)

He did have to go to Lowe for length, but only because he had already burned half his BP. In any case, Lowe wasn't bad.

That absolutely might be at least partially thanks to him. But this fucking neurotic overmanaging cannot be a strength.
