Never started one of these before. Kudos to Steve for what turned out to be the perfect Game Thread description.

I will not let you stand alone.

Not much interest in Winner Threads these days and very understandably so.

Top of the 9th nearly transcended the realm of funbad. That's uncharted territory. If they kept going we'd probably start to see black holes being spawned.

wohoo

Gordon giving a pretty heartfelt apology/explanation.

 

Ramirez, who also has received support from his teammates after committing some costly errors, also downplayed Beckham's error.

 

"Things happen in baseball," said Ramirez, who ripped a game-winning hit down the left field line off LaTroy Hawkins to score Jeff Keppinger with the winning run. "It’s a game. Good things can happen. Bad things can happen." (another meme/theme/tagline/motto for this season)

 

"But for him (Beckham), the most important thing is we got the win."

 

Both Gordon and Reed expressed how upset they were about Chris Sale not getting the victory.

MLB Network cut to the 9th inning and we listened to the ole Hawkeroo have a melt down. The team came back to win and it was great to see Ramirez get the game winning hit. The stand together as a team and there has to be something good about that

So that was Reed who was also in the way. The farm system may produce decent pitching but they are the weakest in fundamentals.
