RUIZ STOLE A BASE

[IanRubbish]

Ruiz be saying, "don't count me out, Millas fans!"

8-6

It was a great hit, but let's not get crazy.  His bat and inability to throw out runners remain liabilities.

[Senatorswin]

In what world does Ruiz steal 3rd. Bizzaro.

This has been a long game

Braves about to lose, wild card elimination magic number could stay at 8

What a game!!!!!

[Senatorswin]

One of the best wins of the season. All with 2 outs.

[IanRubbish]

One of the better wins this season.  The mental mistakes are still a problem, but they've had a few of these ninth inning surges and finally one came out over the top.

[Scrapple]

Always fun to be on the winning side regardless of how you got there. 

LETS GO NAAAAAAAAATS!!!
