They keep this up, dollar dog day will be replaced by all you can eat Pepcid AC.
Want to thank everybody who joined in. My favorite Adam Eaton/pinch-running comment came from slauber67 who noted that "Apparently Charlie believes Eatons legs move better than his fastball." Good stuff.
My three stars of the game are 1.Clay Condrey, 2. Jimmy Rollins, 3. Jesus Flores. Chad Durbin (1 1/3 scoreless innings) also came up huge. The goat of the game is Guzman, who had three hits but failed to cover third on the biggest play of the game. He bailed out Jamie Moyer, who gave up nine hits and six runs in 3 2/3.
Thanks to all who joined in. Don't forget to post your stars/goats of the game.
