Well, down south, in the Lone Star State, the home fans were not treated to another "walkoff" home run. It was a different story for Game 2. It was a psychological boost for the visiting 'Snakes from Arizona. They blew the lead late last night, and then their reliever gave up the big homer-the Walkoff and Texas went tobed with a 1 in the Win column.
Tonight, the Snakes got the lead and didn't give that lead up. The final: 9-2 clearly indicates the power in Arizona's lineup. It also highlights the pitching problems with the throwers from Texas. Bruce Bochy is not unfamiliar with rotation issues in the Series. Looking back at his handling of the Giants and their victories in the Tens: Boch' had a lot to deal with, and he mastered the pitching and made them winners 3 times.
Can he do it again? The games will return to Arizona for 3 games, and it's always nice to win at least one away game. MAny of the players are unknowns, but already, some are earning high accolades for post season play.
More to come; tomorrow is a travel day.
