Rickie Weeks
2 October 2008
fort I took in seeing Derrek Lee's game-ending double play on Sunday directed at Durham rather than Rickie Weeks - who all season long has displayed a penchant for costly fielding errors. If you're reading this you probably don't need a recount of how another inexplicable Weeks error changed the complexion, and ultimately the outcome, of yesterday's NLDS opener with the Phillies. But I'll give you one anyway. Bottom of the third inning. Ruiz reaches on a single. No outs. Hamels tries to bunt him over. Hall misplays what could have been a 5-6-3 double play, but still has time to get Hamels at first. He makes a clean throw to Weeks, who's covering the bag at first for a bunt-charging Prince Fielder. Weeks lets the ball trickle from his glove for an error.

off Derrek Lee's bat for the final outs of the Brewer's regular season, I squirmed with visions of Rickie Weeks chucking it into left field. But thankfully Durham was there to field it cleanly.
