that was a completely random guess which is probably wrong, I can't remember who he struck out although I remember that it wasn't Tejada, because he was busy being a primadonna on the bench.

Terrance Long? That's the only name that sticks out for me...

Hmmm. Jermaine Dye was with them then, right? He'll be my guess.

Yup, good ol' Terrence. D'Lowe froze him with an absolutely sick sinker... or two-seamer. Whatever, it was S_I_C_K. Congrats, Steve, on your first trivia question correct!

Steven Roth got it. Lowe bailed out Williamson, struck someone out, walked one to load the bases and struck out Long. There was a sacrifice in there but I'm not sure if it was Williamson or Lowe that gave that up.
That series was the beginning of my man crush on Lowe. I know he's wrong for me, but when he's on it's awesome.

Does anyone remember that Derek Lowe also did the Degeneration-X "suck it!" right after that strikeout??
