Now it's your turn to say "BUT IT HAPPENED RECENTLY, I AM SOOOOOOOOOOOOOO RIGHT" and ignore all the hard work I did that proves that I'm correct. So, go ahead. You win

Gonzo got the hit to win it, but (assuming counsell scores from 2nd on any Gonzo single), Gonzo's extra SLG and OBP was superflous in that spot.

Re: Why can\'t Adam Dunn hit?
I think a lot of Adam Dunn's low average comes from batting sixth a lot of the time. Sometimes he hits second and every is "suprised" he gets some hits with Griffey coming up after him.
