Well, it's safe to say that the dice *were* good for you (or at least bad for us) and the park had a HUGE impact on the game.
We missed 5 BPHRs for 11 runs and Smoke missed 2 for 3 runs. Roberts got caught stealing twice (at least 1-13 and hopefully 1-19) We only managed three walks off of Jimenez in 7+ IP and stonemitt Manny made a catch (1-11) with two on in the sixth. Had a chance to tie in the 8th with a runner at second, but Mccann poppped out against Romo and Nady missed a 1-5 bphr.
Of course, if we're in our park everything is different so who knows if it would have been a different result, but Petco, clearly was a bad park for us tonight. Just didn't get the big hit when we needed it and Smoke got a big 2 run HR from drew (1-19) with a runner on.
I was hoping that we wouldn't roll any BPHRs so it wouldn't have been a factor at all, but, unfortunately, I think the bug cost us a chance to defend in the finals. Oh well.
Sorry Smokey, not trying to take anything away from your fine team, just wish we would have gotten the park that we were due. :cry: We scored 4 runs in three games in your park against mediocre starting pitching (but a good pen) and scored 15 in our home park in 2 games. That hurts.
Congrats to SMokey and Silver! May the best team come out on top in the finals.
