Hopefully there will not be much excitement for the 9th... but I figured it'd be safe. Plus we can follow other game action around the league.

9th inning, let's nail this one down!!

Not likely

he was good

before the single by victorino, the ump didn’t give him a strike 3 that would vahe finished the game…
the curveball was sharp, and the fastball was clocking 96mph, good stuff.
