Wow... how many blown saves was that??

[Randercity]

ATL - Smoltz gives up two in btm of 9th
CHI - Farnsworth gives up 3 in btm of 9th
ARI - KIM gives up 2 HR's in TWO BATTERS!
in bottom of 9th.
SF - Good old NEN gives up 2 in top of 9th.

Didn't see SMOLTZ, but I believe that was his first blown save. In CHI, BAYLOR is an idiot if GORDON is not hurt. SF's BAKER keeps taking out Rodriguez so this guy can blow a lead... and finally, ARIZONA. You take out Schilling, and a guy, KOPLOVE comes in a pitches a perfect inning, striking out two of three. He's PH for, and PRINZ walks one and gives up 2 hits in 3 batters. Morgan comes in and retires the side. MORGAN is PH for... (both PH's strike out btw, I'm sure the pitcher could have done that!)in comes SWINDELL, who retires the side in the 8th. NOW, this is what I don't get... SWINDELL is LH, HELTON due up... he's removed for KIM a RH CLOSER??? Why not let SWINDELL at least get past HELTON, then pull him, but no, that would be too logical and go against the "USE your closer" theory. What bullshit...

ARIZONA will not get past the 1st round of playoffs, if they make it, UNLESS, JOHNSON and SCHILLING can BOTH pitch complete games. But with the way LA is playing, and how BAKER keeps using NEN, don't know how AZ won't win the division...
