CLUTCH JANSEN!!!!!!!!!
Honestly I'd say he's the most clutch hitter on the team. Always seems to come through with game-tying or winning homers.
How many times has he done this now. It feels like at least 4. That was awesome.
Absolute clutch win. Team we needed to beat, and we were able to come though, fight off the no-hit day yesterday, fight off being down in the 9th today, and beat a team we should.
Time to bounce back. Would be nice to dominate the rest of the games before the break.
... wait a minute
Oh man! I wrote that after waking up. For some reason I thought there was another series before the break.
Anyway, hit the ball boys!
It's all good, I thought you were making a joke after getting no hit yesterday haha.
I thought the reunion between Romano and Gurriel Jr (in the All Star game) was perfect. It had freaking gravitas. Sure I'd like to see Romano throw a few more pitches but this was Shakespearean.
