Oots on the road to elimination

Marlins up 3-2 over the Phillies in the bottom of the eighth. Phillies have a runner on third with one out and Randall Simon at the plate.

Meanwhile the Braves attempt to stave off elimination (for now) with a 5-3 lead over the Cubs in the 6th.

Borowski strikes out two batters to preserve the lead for the Fish.

A Marlins win brings them a .500 record and 2 games back in the WC behind San Diego (1 behind the Phillies).

I should add that a Marlins win brings the Mets magic number to 5, but you already knew that.

Two on with one out for Conine after the Fish walk Howard.

Conine singles in Victorino. Tie game! Go Phillies!

Phillies leave the bases loaded and the score remains 3-3 going into the bottom of the 9th.

The Marlins walked Howard intentionally with the tying run on first and one out. He didn't beat them with a home run, of course, but I'd say that was a silly move, and they paid for it.

Indeed.

I'm pretty sure that hard-throwing Marlins reliever Chris Resop, who just scraped through the top of the tenth, is on the run from the law or a vengeful ex-girlfriend--Resop can't possibly be a real name. Notice that it's Poser backwards.

You're probably right, DJ. And if you're on the lam, there's no better place to hide than in a Marlins uniform... you don't have any fans to worry about people noticing you.

Marlins win! Good ballgame.

The Braves win too, so their tragic number remains 2.

Does anyone have special plans for what do do when the Braves' elimination occurs?

I'm making love to my pillow. Just like the last time the Mets won the division.

Did the Marlins really intentionally walk Ryan Howard in the 9th with the tying run on first base? (I was only half paying attention.)
|

They did, and the next man, Conine, drove in the tying run. Then they did it again in the tenth, with men on first and second and two out. That one made more sense to me, since either way a base hit would score a run, and Howard was a lot more likely to get one than Conine. But I see this as an overreaction to a real threat--they're so scared when Howard comes up that they probably hide their kids in the basement and turn on the air raid siren.
