Bottom of the ninth inning at the Ballpark in Arlington on a sweltering evening. Blue Jays lead Rangers, 4-3. Pinch hitter Mike Napoli draws a walk. Mitch Moreland sacrifices Napoli to second. The pitcher bobbles the ball and pulls the first baseman off the base. Two men on; nobody out. Relief pitcher. Pinch runner at first. Ian Kinsler sacrifices the runners to second and third. Elvis Andrus executes a perfect suicide squeeze, tying the game. Runner to third. Josh Hamilton intentionally walked. Michael Young tomahawks a high, outside pitch to deep right field, over the head of the outfielder. Rangers win, 5-4. Dogpile. If I were the Rats or the Bombs, I'd be scared to death of this team. It can beat you with the long ball; it can beat you with Wash ball.
