A side note: In the bottom of the 3rd inning, there was a man on first and Jimmy Rollins was at the plate. Jimmy forced Chacin to throw him a lot of pitches prior to the final pitch in the AB, a ball in the dirt at which Rollins could not check his swing in time. The ball went past the catcher, and Rollins, trying not to show the guilt of having swung, remained near home plate. The Rockies finally appealed and Rollins was called out.
Now, Sarge and TMac would have you believe (WOW, as I'm typing this the same exact thing happened in the bottom of the 4th) that you cannot run since first base was occupied. However, any person who has clue about the rules of baseball knows that the if there are 2 outs, it doesn't matter that first base was occupied. The two buffoons just learned the rule because of the repeat occurrence. Jimmy Rollins should have run immediately. Bottom line.
Anndddddd Raul Ibanez just crushed a ball for a ground rule double that most definitely would have scored two runs had it stayed in play. Terrible luck.
