I would say you are a bit pumped.

Yes, I am pumped. Seems like we've been waiting a long time for these youngins to come correct, and finally they put it all together against the Cubs. Martin, Kemp, Ethier, Loney, Billingsley, and Broxton are all good young players that came up in 2006. They always seem to f it up somehow. That's been more than a little frustrating. To see them all play well at the same time is an absolute blast. I'm still totally amazed that Broxton closed them out that way. I thought we might hold on, or something(maybe win in extra innings.) Like he usually does(walks, base hits etc...skate by,) but fatboy was throwing strike after strike. Believe me, when that ump's hand kept going in the air, that crowd was stunned. We are lucky Martin didn't hurt his back(cuz he tried to pick that fatboy up.)

I give him credit for being very, very patient. He lost a lot of regular season games by giving pitchers an extra day of rest here n' there. He managed this team as if he knew it was gunna win the division. He managed his pitching staff so they would have something for the playoffs. After Manny got here, we won the final 2 games(SAT. n' SUN.) of a 4 game series against the D'BACKS. Then we went to St. Louis on Tuesday. That guy refused to put anybody good in late in that game to try to win it. He just gave that game away. He refused to use either Broxton or Kuo. This is with like 48 hours rest, and 72 hours rest. He managed this team for October. I don't know how he knew the D'BACKS were gunna struggle. It's as if he didn't want to make the post unless he had the pitching a certain way(something left.)

Did they make people buy tickets for both days of the BC? Just seeing Zenyatta's worth the price of admission on Day 1.
