and lets break down greg's game last night.
1. it was a non-save situation and for whatever reason, closers seem to struggle in those.
2. he got the first two guys out easily before giving up a solo home run with a 4 run lead.
3. the next batter hit a line drive that should have been caught. that should have been the game right there, but sparkle misplayed it badly.
4. he walked braun. no excuse for that.
5. he struck out the most feared hitter on the team on, i believe, 4 pitches.
when you look at it like that, it really wasn't all that bad a performance.
