May 16th, 1991

The Expos are in town and so are my family! It is always great to see them! Especially after that nonsense with my ex and my dog.

Today Montreal is pitching Chuck Finley (4-3, 2.74).

The Giants have Bruce Ruffin (2-3, 5.26).

I have gone 7 for 33, or .212 against Finley.

But I am hitting .300 this year. I am still hitting sixth. I am not going to lie - I am getting a little annoyed at being down in the lineup. It feels like disrespect.

I came up with one out in the 2nd and grounded out to Alvaro Espinoza at short.

I then came up in the 4th and grounded into a double play.

I complained about my role and then can't hit...

The Expos broke the stalemate in the 5th when James Aylward scored on a Billy Hatcher single.
I took care of a Milt Cuyler grounder for the 3rd out.

Expos lead 1-0

WIth a man on in the 7th, Matt brought in Scott Service.
But then Aylward scored on a Finley double.

Expos lead 2-0

I came up with one out in the 7th and grounded out back to Finley.
Finley ran into trouble after that, though, including walking Ruben Sierra with the bases loaded, scoring Bryce Bernadin, and throwing a wild pitch, scoring Timothy McKercher.

Game tied 2-2

Heathcliff Sloucmb took the ball for us in the 8th.
Then Joe Boever took the 9th.
Things didn't go quite so well for Joe as pinch hitter Michael Urzendowski scored on a single by Jose Offerman.
Then Offerman and Hatcher scored on a Cuyler double.

Expos lead 5-2

I led off the bottom of the 9th against Mike Henneman. I dumped one into right for a single.
With two out I went to 2nd on a single by pinch hitter Tim Naehring.
Ruben Sierra singled to load the bases.
Then I scored on an Alvin Davis single.
But Robby Thompson grounded out and we lost, 5-3.

I went 1 for 4 with a single and a run scored.
