Rolen in, two on, two out.

Swings at a sizzling FB right down the middle...little late, fouls it off.

Lays off a slider in the dirt which gets away...both runners move up.

Rolen takes high...2-1.

Takes inside....3-1.

Bases loaded...

Come on Belliard!!!

I think they pitched around Rolen..

I have no confidence in Ronnie.

I'll join ya for a bit.

Belliard takes the first one for a ball...like to see that.

Watches a FB right down the middle...don't mind seeing that either.

Swings at a FB inside and above the zone...that, I didn't like so much.

Same pitch, Belliard lays off this time. 2-2

FB away on a close pitch. Runners going.

Belliard hammers it foul.

Belliard up the middle...Guillen makes a nice play to end the inning.

Oh, that hurt! At least we rattled the kid a bit.

I think Duncan and Belliard both struck out looking -- they just got favorable calls.

Belliard blows. He can't hit, and he can't run so he wasn't able to pick up an infield hit.

I hate that guy.

I'd like to see a replay...that looked close at first. I thought he was out first glance, but it was close enough I'd like to see it again.

Yeah he was definitely out after I saw it.

Belliard hit .237 as a Card in the regular season; he's upped that to .261 in the playoffs, but in 46 at-bats he has just one extra-base hit (a double).

I really don't like him.

Let me re-iterate what I said when he came up to bat: I have no confidence in him.
