Did Broxton Have A Flashback?

I was nervously watching the game last night ever since we took our first lead of the series with innings to play. Every out was of the utmost importance. So Kuo comes in and does his job. Then comes The Brim Reaper and I was on the toes of my feet but he exercised his demons and got his job done. Finally Big John comes on and I was feeling pretty good thinking to myself if we even up the series tonight its only a three game series.

 

So my question is: Did Broxton have a flashback? Bottom of the 9th and here comes uh ohh...every Dodger fans worst enemy Matt Stairs. It was almost exactly a year ago when Broxton came in in game 4 with a tie ballgame only to have Matt Stairs Launch one over the wall in right field. The game and the series after that seemed hopeless. Fast forward to last night Broxton got the best hitter he was going to face in Ibanez to ground out. So here he comes Matt Stairs Walks into the batters box and Broxton walks him on 4 pitches! To me that was the biggest mistake Broxton made. You have to challenge the guy I mean what are the odds of Stairs hitting one out again? Even then it would only be tied. Then came up Carlos Ruiz who has some kind of Vendetta against the Dodgers because we cant get this guy out. I was at game one and I kept telling myself you can't lay one out there for this guy and boom 3 run job, in my opinion that was the biggest hit of game 1. Broxton hits Ruiz and I can't believe what I'm seeing.  Dobbs proceeds to comes up and weakly pops one up and I'm saying only one more out!!! Then we all know what happened next.

 

I still believe we can win this series we just have to take it one game at a time and somehow bring the series back home.
