If you missed the Dodgers/Cardinals game last night, you missed one helluva game. It was a classic pitchers duel until the bottom of the 9th inning when the circus came into town. With two outs, James Loney hit a routine liner to Matt Holliday for what would have, and probably should have, been the last out of the game. Then all hilarity ensured:
Yep. That’s right. Holliday got hit with the ball in his package. If you want a good laugh, try playing this in super slow-motion and look at his face. Sure he seems remorseful in his post game interview, but it’s probably a good combination of remorse and embarrassment for getting hit in the nuts and losing the game for your team.
Adam Wainright blamed it on the white towels Dodgers fans were waving around all game. I got news for you Wainright, don’t you think that probably had an impact on your pitching performance too? Blaming a loss on towel waving fans is a new low even in the modern, classless sports world.
As for the rest of the series, it’s still going to be a tough one to pull out for either team. But at least the Dodgers hit Holliday and the Cardinals where it hurts the most.
