Deja Vu, all over again

Unbelievable is all I can say, otherwise this blog might generate a triple XXX rating. I mean come on, again, 2 days in a row, F'n up the 8th and 9th innings. My blood pressure is now through the roof. If this keeps up we will very quickly be talking football; ahh football, blood pressure is lowering.

The good - Reynolds doubles to lead off the eight, Montero walks, Hairston strikes out, and Augie drives them home with a triple. Dbacks down by one now with Augie at 3rd and only one out. You know the drill, simple sacrifice fly and the game is tied, come on Chris Young. The BAD - First pitch bunt, what the *uck? Explain to me how bunting yourself to first is going to get Augie in from 3rd. It makes no sense unless it is a suicide squeeze, and it wasn't. And he didn't even get on! Then he proceeds to do Nada, nothing; a pop up, damn A*s*h*le. Now we need a hit by O'Dog, grounder to second. Insert 30 seconds of expletives from Smitty.

The ninth inning, Byrnes fouls out. A good AB by CoJack to gain a walk. Stephen Drew with the clutch double to tie the game, Sweeeeett. Oh Shit, over the wall and now it's a ground rule double and move Jackson back to 3rd base. The tying run at 3rd with only one out for the 4th time in the past two games in the eight or ninth inning. They are 0 for 3 so far, the odds are with them to finally get a sacrifice and send us to extra innings, correct, yes? Of course not, Montero hits into the 5th double play of the game to end it in another Dbacks loss.

This is ridiculous, two nights in a row with chances to tie the game with a simple Sacrifice and proceed to go 0 for 4 and lose both games. I am sure I am not the only one who is swearing at the TV! This is not how winning teams play! I am obviously upset and shocked that we can be this terrible on simple fundamentals. Bring on football!
