Thought I was in for another long game. Giants scored three in the first after Schilling couldn’t find the plate and walked three in a row. He settled down after that, only giving up a solo homer to Bonds (of course) later in the game. On offense I brought out the cheese lineup, hoping for a spark. Amaro led off with a triple, which we brought home and then nothing until the seventh inning. After a couple baserunners, Batiste came in to pinch hit and smashed a two run triple! That chased Hickerson for a right hander, so I countered by pinch hitting Dykstra and he crushed a two run homer to take the lead! West gave us a 1-2-3 eighth that led to Mitchy-poo in the ninth with a one run lead. Lead off single, then two outs and a double. Men on second and third with two outs. They pinch hit with Benzinger, Clark is on deck and is a much more favorable match-up for me odds wise, but I just can’t intentionally load the bases with Wild Thing on the mound, so I literally roll the dice and am rewarded with a ground out to send us into the all-star break as winner, splitting the series. In eight games against me Bonds has seven homeruns. Just ridiculous.
