The Bucs finally have a SP that will give them a "chance" to win the game and arsehole Shelty refuses to run out a competitive hitting lineup. Maybe it's because guys like Cook have learned in another team's system and he doesn't want to embarass Andy Haines. Thanks, Shelty you are a real jerk.

Let's Go Bucs!!!

A one out triple and a sac fly puts the Bucs up 1-0. Good to see they didn't strand Nicky G after a one out trip-trip-triple. They didn't even move over IKF when he led off the game with a double

Yikes, only three posts in an Official Game Thread! Can’t say the whole organization doesn’t deserve it. One reaps what one sows.

[Wildwoodcoach]

You got that right, doc.
However, two high lights from last night was a strong performance by Ortiz
and a diving catch by Cruz in the first inning

I think I watched through the trip-trip-triple. I usually mute the sound but for whatever reason didn't last night. That sort of thing gets old quick.

I just read that was Nick G 10th winning rbi this season. During that awful losing streak Nick was on the IL. There was a game or two during that stretch that a base hit by one of the Bucs could have resulted in a walkoff win. I was at one of those games when the bases were loaded in the 9th with no outs. I told my wife if Nick G was there he would have had the game winning hit. I think Joe and Williams made two of the big outs that inning. One or two more wins wouldn’t put the Bucs in the postseason, but a win is always better than a loss when the winning run is 90 feet away.
