Game 122: Pirates 6 Phillies 4

After Andrew McCutchen got caught stealing in the fifth, struck out swinging in seventh inning, and badly misplayed Shane Victorino's flyball to center into a go-ahead triple for the Phillies tonight, for the very first time this year I thought that maybe he was starting to get tired and look a little bit like a rookie. "It happens," I said to myself, "He's been better than any of us could've hoped for or imagined since his callup in May and he's got an incredibly bright future with this ballclub. If he tails off a bit here, he tails off and there's nothing wrong with that." Ten minutes later, he sat back on a Brad Lidge fastball that Lidge left up in the zone and over the plate, and he whacked it right on the nose and over the center field fence for a walk-off, two-run homer. And now I'm looking at a line that says he went 2-for-4 with that homer along with a walk and I take it all back. Of course, as awesome as the 'Cutch walkoff was...
