He may have lost some of the zip on his fast balls, but Troy Percival still has balls of steel. What a performance. It's almost enough to make me endorse him as closer for another season... almost.
You can't blame Scoiscia for giving Colon a chance to close this one down himself. The back end of the bullpen needed the rest, as Frankie and Percy had combined for five innings in the past two days. And you can't blame Colon for getting himself in that ninth inning jam- it looked like he still had good stuff, and the two hits he gave up were just cases of superior hitting.
UPDATE: Sean actually saw this game in person. Lucky bastard.
