I will wholeheartedly take that victory. Giles summed it up best in a post-game interview on SNY. He said that the team has lost every close game like that this season so it was nice to finally come out on top in one and get the victory.
In other words he didn't care how the team did it, he was just happy they won.
Could not agree more.
If there wasn't enough evidence already, the recent Estes and Iguchi injuries prove that this Drinos season is pure tragicomedy. The Edmonds signing and immediate calf injury (and resultant suck), Barrett throwing his arm out (revealing how much effort he puts in to never throw guys out), the 22 inning game and the 18 inning game, the CY-Pujols-Bard "menage a injury," Prior's diagnosis with a shoulder so injured the doctors operating on it had never before seen the injury in a pitcher, Peavy's creaky elbow and now, Estes falling down some stairs to fracture a digit on his pitching hand and Iguchi doing a Baryshnikov-gone-bad to avoid a ground ball and in the process separating his shoulder.
What a season.
And despite all that the Drinos are only 8 games back.
Three straight if they beat Santana tonight.
To quote the immortal Coach Bobby Finstock, "Let's play some ball here."
