There would have been two outs with the tying run on first if Ortiz hadn’t been thrown out. That’s hardly an automatic blown save.

Tim is competitive. He didn’t pitch that well last year or at all in 08 and no doubt wanted to get in the game pitch well. My guess is that Bork had more to do with him not getting in the game than Manuel b/c, as we all know, Timmy is MADE OF PORCELAIN.

I enjoyed seeing the good guys win for the first time since I started watching baseball.
They could be Giants...but not really.
Trade news:
jonmorosi
#Jays get Yunel Escobar and Jo-Jo Reyes from #Braves for SS Alex Gonzalez and minor leaguers LHP Tim Collins and INF Tyler Pastronicky

Seems like a weird trade to me. What an apparent mix of OMG SLUMP and OMG CAREER YEAR.
