Hi Tony,

I've had D-Back season tickets since '99 and have been watching Kim since he showed up. You never know WHICH Kim will show up for a game: Will it be the Good Kim or the Bad Kim Chee?

Well, my stomach felt like Bad Kim Chee when Brenley called him from the bullpen last night. I couldn't believe he would use Kim after his outing the night before. Brenley's attitude is "Kim is my closer, and I'm going to use him to close". At the post-game interviews, Brenley didn't hesitate to say he would use Kim again if needed in games 6 or 7!!

Well, I hope The Big Unit pitches a full game in 6 and my favorite, Curt Schilling, goes the distance in 7 so Brenley won't NEED to use Kim.

Then Phoenix can look forward to $40M in additional World Series spending over the weekend, the team can enjoy their rings after a tough 7 game series, and Brenley can trade Kim as soon in the post-season as he can.

Anyway, that's how I see it .......

Kind regards,
greg

Tony - Re: "The camera caught Brenley in what could be described as a catatonic state after Brosius hit the homer. "

Good observation !

I tried to explain to my son - the same camera shot of Brenley - what the expression "Deer in the Headlights" meant.

As an aside - on our vacation in late August, we saw the Diamondbacks play the Padres in San Diego at Qualcomm Stadium.

Randy Johnson pitched for the D'backs - and was lifted for a pinchhitter in the 7'th or 8'th inning with the score tied 1-1.

The game went into extra innings - all the way to the 13'th with the score still tied 1-1.

In the bottom of the 13'th, Byung Hyun Kim came in to hold/close the game for Arizona and Ryan Klesko led off for the Padres.

Kim through one - and only one - pitch to Klesko - who drove it deep into the right-center field seats for a walk-off home run to win the game for San Diego.

Poor Kim.
