Message: [QUOTE="SWC75, post: 4657964, member: 289"] Verlander was Verlander after that but the Met's line-up was my old little league team. And Nimmo lost his mind, getting thrown out for the second out of the 9th inning, down two runs. And that enabled both Gary Cohen and Todd Zeile to repeat my least favorite baseball phrase, "his run doesn't mean anything". If your run would get us within one so the next guy can tie it up, your run means a lot and that's why you can't get thrown out trying to steal second when that's going to give you a minimal advantage even if you make it. You've got to stay alive in the bases to score that run. Your run doesn't mean anything if it's the bottom of the 9th and the guy ahead of you on the bases is the winning run. Drives me nuts every time I hear it. [/QUOTE]
