 You know what we needed? More Japanese media. |
 Okaji tips his cap. |
 A little early for Mr. Kottaras, I guess. |
 Kevin Cash. |
 |
 |
 |
 |
 Yes, a little overkill, but this was the last game I'd see Kottaras for a while. |
 |
 |
 |
 |
 |
 "Could you point that thing somewhere else? Just for a few minutes?" |
 |
 |
 |

 (Psssst--Dustin. Don't slouch. Trust me...) |

 WMP: big man of love. |
 |
 "You got a problem with something?!" |
 |
 |
 "Oh, nothing... we just thought you might be more comfortable if we weren't, you know, towering over you." |
 The trainer is rubbing the back of Wily Mo's neck... |
 ... and I'm guessing it feels very good. |
 |
 |
 I tried so hard to get WMP and Dustin together... |
 John Tuck and Kottaras. "So a priest, a rabbi and Julian Tavarez walk into a bar..." |
 |
 (Indulge me in a closeup of Kottaras laughing...) |
 |

 "The password? 'Tito sent me.' Also, 'you'll need this.'" |

 I'm not sure it's a good sign if your mascot prays as your starting lineup is announced. |
 Adam Eaton. |
 |
 The start of Papi's at-bat... |
 ... and the finale. |
 And now, the man we've all been waiting for... |
 |
 |
 |
 |
 |
 |
 |
 |
 |
 |
 |
 |
 |
 |
 |
 |

 Though Dustin looks rather petite next to Ryan Howard... |
 ... for some reason he looks even smaller a few feet away. |

 Javier Lopez takes over. |
 |
 |
 |
 |

 |
 |

 |
 |

 |
 |
 |
 Brendan Donnelly. |
 |
 |
 |
 |
 |
 |
 |
 |
 |
 |
 |
 |
 |
 |
 |
 |
 |
 Donnelly didn't cover first, and Hinske is ready to kill him. (He had hurt something, but was okay.) |
 |
 |
 Hinske explains. "I fielded the ball and was like, WTF?" |
 Okaji. |
 |
 |
 |
 |
 |
 |
 |
 First time I saw the lady Phanatic... |
 |
 |
 Mike James. |
 |
 |
 |
 |
 |
 |
 |
 The ump had a discussion with James about his glove after the inning, though it didn't look serious. |
 |
 |
 |
 |
 Joel Piniero comes on for the end. |
 |
 |
 |
 |
 |
 |
 Tavarez is getting into it with Kottaras about something. |
