Seeing The Miguelephant: Marlins 6, Dodgers 5
A New England tale tells of the farmer who had heard much of the unique appearance of the elephant, but had never seen one. He was told by a neighbor that the circus was expected in a nearby community and he swore he would attend. Setting out early on the following morning in his wagon, the farmer hoped to make the first performance. Upon reaching a crossroad several miles from home, where vision was obscured by a tall hedgerow, the farmer urged his horse into the intersection. At that same moment the circus train, led by the elephant, reached the crossroad from a different direction. The resulting collision smashed the wagon to splinters, killed the horse, and knocked the farmer unconscious. The circus train passed on as though nothing had happened. Awakening after several hours, the farmer surveyed the destruction and stated dryly, "Well, at least I've seen the elephant."Miguel Cabrera contributed a dinger and a walkoff RBI single off Jonathan Broxton. The Dodgers lead the game after a three-run fourth put the team ahead 4-1, but Cabrera's three-run jack and a Hanley Ramirez triple that Jeff Kent turned into an RBI thanks to a — literally — heads-down play tied things up."Seeing the Elephant", by Gerald Conti, as published on wesclark.com
The Fish relief corps, including ex-Angel Kevin Gregg (off to a very nice start with a 2.70 ERA), held down the Dodgers in the sixth and seventh, retiring them in order twice. Then in the eighth, Andre Ethier reached on a single and advanced to third on an error and Olmedo Saenz' groundout to third, and finally scored on Renyel Pinto's wild pitch, tying the game up at five apiece.
At least they drove in a few. Along the way, the Dodgers have seen the elephant.
