Walk-off Winners in Cincy

Written by Mike Mariano | 09 July 2010

Well would you look at that, the Phillies took a close one!  They survived not one, but TWO blown saves!  BRIAN SCHNEIDER!  Okay, enough excitement, but finally winning a close game makes me so happy.  Shout-outs to Jose Contreras and Nelson Figueroa for actually getting outs when coming in from the bullpen.  That seems to be a rarity these days, it's fantastic to see.

Ryan Howard repaid me for the kind words yesterday with a crisp 0-5 (only one strikeout though), but Sugar Shane Victorino and Brian Schneider took the power into their own hands.  Shane provided offense in the first inning and Brian in the last.  Walk-off wins are great morale boosters and we need a few these days.  The has been picked back up!  Time to rip off ten straight!  Or maybe we'll drop the other two and I'll just have to retype that sentence in a few days...
