Ryan Doumit... THE CONQUEROR

Seriously... if you watched the highlights the last couple of games, you'd think Ryan Doumit of the Pirates was the single biggest clutch hitter in the National League.

He hit his grand slam against Trevor Hoffman the day before last to win the game...

Yesterday homered off of Hoffman again to tie the game...

And today drove in the only two runs of the game in a 2-0 Pirates win in Los Angeles, about 7 minutes from my house.

He has hit 7 of his 11 RBI in clutch situations over the last three days.

Watch him finish the season with 12 RBI.

Hey, after the grotesque losing streak, the Pirates are only 2 games under .500.

Thanks to Ryan Doumit... THE GREATEST PIRATE OF THIS CENTURY.

(Actually, that isn't much of a title when you consider the Pirates have sucked since there was nearly a decade to go in the LAST century!)
