Please list, in order, the things you least expected to see last night:

• A-Gon getting two bases-loaded two-out bloop singles (one of the walk-off variety)
• A-Gon drawing a walk
• NICK GREEEEEEEEN drawing a 9th inning bases-loaded two-out walk to tie the game
• Mike Scioscia bitching at the umpires

Whoops, how’d that last one get in there? Look, I don’t know if the pitch was a ball or a strike (Mike, you can shut up now). I saw the ESPN pitch-zone thing, which clearly called the 3-2 pitch a strike. I saw Brian Fuentes jump up and down (the apple doesn’t fall far from the managerial tree). I saw Rick Reed flinch just a bit after the pitch. But here’s the most important thing I saw: Mike Napoli jerk his glove up just a little bit to try to bring the ball back into the strike zone. If Scioscia wants to blame somebody, he should blame his catcher. If Napoli holds that ball exactly where he caught it, his pitcher probably gets the benefit of the doubt. But once Reed saw Napoli try to bring the pitch back into the zone, you’ve got to believe that in the split-second he had to make a call he thought “if the catcher didn’t even think that pitch was a strike, why should I?”

Not that any of this should take away from A-Gon’s moment in the sun. Seriously, how often does A-Gon walk??!! Broken-bat game-winning hits come and go, but Alex Gonzalez drew a walk! Four balls! A free pass! One base on balls! Plus, let’s be honest about that last hit: Juan Rivera earned the “Roger Dorn Hustle Award” by pulling up short AND not diving for a very catchable ball. But I’ll take it. I can’t hope for TWO walks out of the guy.
