Game 151: Holy @#$&, we WON!

by Doghouse on Sep 23, 2009 10:13 PM EDT

Can you believe this thrill ride of game? A whole season of excitement packed into the last three innings! Ryan Zimmerman (+0.266) breaks up a no-hitter with a game-tying, three-run bomb (+0.358), Adam Dunn (+0.120) gets a spectacular line-out DP (+0.250) to end an inning, Justin Maxwell (+0.192) showed some ballsy baserunning to get in position to win the game, and Pete Orr (+0.174) is teh clutch. Thank goodness Riggleman kept his bat in the lineup. Particular props to Saul Rivera (+0.356) for coming in bases-loaded in the ninth and getting the last two outs to keep it tied.

I heard the Nats won...

during the scoreboard roundup on the Cubs radio broadcast (TV volume turned down so I can hear the radio broadcast). Nice going! Should have listened to the Nats game. Sounded exciting and the Nats won. The Cubs, on the other hand, were not having a good night.

"Guzman, who made what looked like a bad throw to the plate to allow pinch-runner Jason Repko to score. The replay showed that Josh Bard's foot was at the plate and Furcal should have been called out." - Bill Ladson

Dukes has a team-high 12 outfield assists.

Orr was 2 for 13 as a pinch hitter……… Riggler knew keeping that bat in the lineup would pay off!!!
