Furcal saves the day

Well even though Rafeal Furcal has some issues when the season is over, today he is the hero. With two outs in the bottom of the 11th inning Furcal blasted a walk off 2 run shot off Miceli to end the game. The Braves seriously needed to win this game to even up the series and not finish as they often do every year. Drew, Jones, and Estrada all batted extremely disappointedly today and hopefully they can get off the snide in time for game 3 saturday afternoon in Houston. Unfortunately the Astros have won something like 18 in a row at home, but that streak will just have to end. Today's game was way too close for my fingernails, but it all doesn't matter in the end. Hopefully this lites a fire under their asses to finish out this series in the next two games in order to move on.  ¶ 10/07/2004 07:47:00 PM
