WALK IT OFF

– I only saw the last few innings of this game, but I’m telling you guys, Johnny Damon’s 37 year-old body is just too old. He can’t play anymore. I mean look at him, hitting walk-off home-runs in extra innings. It’s just pathetic to watch.

– The Legend of Sam Fuld again played a key role in the win. His single to get on base right ahead of Damon means his efforts gave Damon an “extra inning walk-off” instead of just a “solo shot to tie it in the 10th.” It’s the little things, and the Legend grows…

– Matt Joyce with a clutch hit in the bottom of the ninth to bring in two runs and tie the game also played a critical role in creating an opportunity to win it in the first place, so kudos to him. Let’s hope this is the start of Joyce breaking out of his slump too.

– Pretty good game by both starting pitchers. It’s a shame Pavano throws 8 shutout and doesn’t get a win, let alone a decision. And Shields only giving up 2 runs (and no homers!) over 7 is pretty commendable too, though no decision for him either. Oh well. Blackburn v Davis coming up tonight.
