"We had runners on third with less than two outs and couldn't get it done, but you've got to give credit to Marquis. Our guys know what it takes to get it done. We recently talked about that. But Marquis was just outstanding today."

Based loaded in the 7th inning with Belliard due up and Manny does not pinch hit for him. Double play, inning over. Fire Manny!
