I'm missing something but my recollection goes...
Purcey gave up a walk and two singles to load, Then Dotel walked in two runs, then Rzep walked in a run he got a groundball but it squeeked between Escobar and third bringing in another run, then Camp pitched a DP ball and they got out of the inning ahead by a run. 9th inning Camp stays in gives up a Double, sac bunt moves the runner to third and brings Ichiro to the plate, they give Ichiro the intentional base on balls and he then steals second. Next batter doubles to the gap bringing in the winning run.

He was thinking that with the tying run at third it might be better to take the bat out of the hands of the best hitter in baseball? I mean... it's friggin' Ichiro. Probably should have used Rauch in the 9th thou, Camp is a really good at getting a timely groundball (seriously, can anyone else order up a Double Play like that guy?) but he's being overused and doesn't have overpowering stuff to begin with. Ya I know Rauch was the only one left in the bullpen meaning that they'd have to get a starter to come in on relief if the game ended up in extra's but that doesn't strike me as all that bad.
Also, when Fransisco is all rehabbed up and ready to go I hope they DFA Purcey... that guys been awful. Nix has been a pleasant surprise thus far thou.
