Late for work/Tard pour le travail

Montreal Expos News:

Work is looming large, so I'll make this quick (not that my other posts are really that in-depth):

"'I thought I made a good pitch to Conine, but the umpire called it a ball,' Ayala said. 'He said it was a little bit high. I didn't think so. It's part of baseball.'

"'Pitchers are walking people,' Robinson said. 'We battled back, but we don't get a chance to build on it. The [Marlins] go right back ahead. That's not the way you're going to win games, especially on the road. You've got to be able to hold them.'"

I think Ayala is a bit more calm about this. Is that a good thing?

"Ayala (5-11) leads the Major Leagues in relief losses."

Remember when Ayala was untouchable during the middle of the season? That was great.

Once again, errors cost the Expos w/ Scott Downs gives up 6 runs, but only 1 earned through 3 innings.

But it sure was exciting to have bases loaded in the 9th, trying to mount a come-back. I know some games will be won and some games will be lost, but avoiding the blowout is so much more fun to watch.

Late for work mainly because I was googling the Expos. Not too much of interest, this op-ed from WaPo on Angelos and the Expos and from the official site, a recap of Game 5, 1981 NLCS, which I believe you can listen to. You know, if you like suffering.

Later.
