Backs against the wall. . .or something like that. Use whatever cliche you care to, the Grizzlies need to win, or their tremendous 2007 season will come to a disappointing end. I have a good feeling about tonight. I didn't say the series. . .I said tonight. The guys are in great spirits and nobody seems ready to be finished. Hollenbeck has pitched well against the Grizzlies this year-14 innings, 15 strikeouts. But, they beat Hollenbeck once this year (with Toro on the mound and in this park!) and the other time the Grizzlies faced him-they won the game though Hollenbeck didn't get the loss. Plus remember Albert Ayala with the Rascals? He shut the Grizzlies down twice. The third time, he lasted 1.1 innings the third time he faced this team.
The playoffs are weird, in any sport, often it is a team that does something they haven't done all year and they win because of it. Sometimes a team that isn't supposed to win does. (See '06 Cardinals or '03 Grizzlies) Only time will tell what this team can do. These guys aren't thinking about anything but tonight.
I'm optimisitc. I think everyone is. I'll write again post-game.
