World Series Game 2

After a tough loss in game one Miami sent Scott Elzy to the mound.  He started quickly, striking out 2 in a perfect first inning.  Pedro Lewis stranded a 2 out single to pitch a scoreless bottom of the first.

In the second, Elzy hit Nick McKeller and Jeff Bowman followed with a single, all with one out.  Elzy escaped the inning by striking out Victor Jacobs and getting Luis Harris to pop out.

In the bottom second Pedro Lewis fell apart.  He walked Todd Merkich, then gave up a double to Armando Ortiz.  Ricky Buckley singled to bring in one, and Oswipe Cabrera brought home another with an infield single.  Still nobody out, they pulled off a double steal.  Adrian Hubbard walked to load the bases.  After Peter Rabbitt struck out, Billy Bass walked to force in Miami’s third run.

That brought up Devan Arceneaux, and he erased any doubt about how this game was going by crushing Pedro’s last pitch 412 feet out to right.  New York was forced to go to the bullpen after Pedro recorded only 4 outs.

Scott Elzy was dominant for 6 innings, allowing 3 hits and striking out 13, a Superior League playoff record during the OOTP era.  Three Miami relievers finished the game, with the Stars winning 8-0 to even the series.

How do you still have a job?
“In the bottom second Pedro Lewis fell apart.”
That should read “In the bottom OF THE second...”
You are truly the fattest of all the yodas and a disgrace to journalists everywhere.

Mentioning so called “records” in the OOP “era”. An “era” that doesn’t even encompass 4 full years. You are a ding dong. No one cares about who struck out the most batters in a playoff game in the last 4 years and no one would call it a “record”. Go back to yor swamp and drown yourself.

Dear Editor,

Any chance you can splurge and hire the two esteemed Bostonian journalists for playoff writeups? This fat yoda we have been stuck with is the worst. Did I mention he is a fat yoda?
