As far as tonight goes, so very much fail on Washington's part... Have to give credit to St. Louis' bullpen for preventing a run, but I sure would like to see what would have happened had Beltre been given a fair AB in the 9th. And man - up 0-2 on the pinch hitter that put St. Louis up 1 - sheesh, gotta get that guy out. Worst case, get the count to 2-2 by throwing a couple of balls hoping he lunges. Don't fire an 0-2 pitch right down the middle of the plate. Some times he is so aggressive he kicks himself in the ass.
So many what ifs - just makes losing a game like this so difficult. Really hope kick ass Colby is the version we get tomorrow. Man, if we go down 0-2, the series isn't over, but man - just better not happen.
