Yeah, the errors and pitching killed them. The bottom of the ninth was very remeniscent of last year's opener, though. Zimmerman came up, everyone was on their feet, and we just
knew something was going to happen. Sure enough, he launched one over the centerfield wall. The problem is, last year that was good for a walk off. This year, it brought it to 9-8. Then, with 0 outs, Dunn, Dukes and Johnson blue it. Dukes especially, swinging at two that bounced before they hit the plate.
