If nothing else, this game to this point has taught me to calm the heck down. I'm a smarter baseball fan than to be so reactionary. Most of us are. It's tough not to get hyped up sometimes, and since being in the NLCS is new to me I'm going to learn a bit about patience in these games. I am still seething about Kotsay in CF and probably will be until we finally cut ties with him. I still say you don't give kids sharp objects to play with and you don't give a manager poor veterans to play with. On the other hand at no point have I thought this was a lost game. I still though we could win this game.
