Doc has gotten jackshit for run support this yr and yet blows a 6 run lead


this game went back n forth, in the bot. of the 8th w/ the Phils up 12-8 and Contreras on the mound JRoll botched an EZ double play (Chipper hit it rt up middle to him) this was crucial, as Braves went on to score 5 and take the lead, w/ the beast Kimbrel lurking.
Kimbrel came out and promptly threw 4 pitches no where near the strike zone to Pierre, who wisely never took the bat off his shoulder...than lil Juan stole 2B. when JRoll was punched out on a called third strike that was so far outside that Tom Glavine started talking about a comeback



the great Brian Sanches was in his 3rd inn of relief when Chipper came to bat. after nearly winning the game w/ a HR that was foul by a hair, Chipper straightened it out a bit and hit the GW 2 Run HR.
Honestly, is there anyone else you'd want up there w/ the game on the line? The guy is a Ninja. W/ apologies to George Brett, Mike Schmidt is probably the consensus best 3B ever. To me Chipper is #2, over Brett, and rt on Schmitty's ass. If not for the injuries (and he did play LF abit) he may be the best ever.
oh, and they flashed a stat tonight, Chip had the most GW RBI among active players, 8 ahead of ARod. He got 2 more. Bastard
