We snatched a win yesterday. Let's keep it going.

I have gone 10 for 36, or .278, with a home run against Maddux.

I led off by managing a walk.
With one out, stolen base #40 AND #41.
I scored on a Ruben Sierra groundout.

I took care of a Paul O'Neill grounder for the final out in the 1st.

I led off the 3rd, lining one into centre for a single.
With one out, stolen base #42.
I went to 3rd on a groundout by Ruben.
I was awarded home on a Maddux balk.

Giants lead 2-0

I took care of a Steve Honey grounder for the 2nd out in the bottom of the 3rd.

I came up with the bases loaded in the 4th and grounded out to 1st.

Then came the 5th.

I did the same to Steve Honey in the 6th.

With two out in the 6th, Scott walked pitcher Tracy Toy, breaking the Perfect Game.

I came up with one out in the 8th. They brought in Chris Pollack to face me. My third walk from three different pitchers.
Stolen base #43.
Uh, yeah. What was I thinking there?
