It's just too creepy. It was like flipping a switch as it went from all good to all bad. I would fault Dusty for leaving Prior in past the first base runner in the 8th: the point is to win the game, not "honor" your starting pitcher. That's why they have bullpens and closers. 23546@blogcritics.org Wed, 15 Oct 2003 16:28:49 EDT
