[ashie62]

I preferred the Howard Johnson's

[ashie62]

Rip off Luzardo's t*ts

[Edgy MD]

We have a broadcast.



They just replayed the Asdrubal Cabrera walkoff homer. I remember him wearing bleached hair at the time, but was surprised to see Jerry Blevins rocking it also.

[Edgy MD]

Cedric Mullins has suddenly replaced Taylor in bench limbo.

[Frayed Knot]

The 1st, 3rd, and 4th 'balls' to Soto could have all been strikes.

[ashie62]

They could bat Soto leadoff. He gets on base and steals bases

[ashie62]

How about a two out hit

[Edgy MD]

Philip Habib (1920-1992), longtime diplomat, Ronald Reagan's special envoy to the Middle East, and one of the most obscure references ever brandished by Keith Hernandez.

You can't stop Tyrone Taylor. You can only hope to contain him.



OE: Unless he contains himself.



Later

[Frayed Knot]

Name dropped by Keith Hernandez AND Warren Zevon



[media=youtube]0-xau9j5tOI[/media]







OK, so Zevon never actually mentions Phil (we were close so I call him Phil) by name but the song was inspired by him so I'm counting it.

[Cowtipper]

Gary just mentioned Grimace. 2024 had Grimace, OMG, etc. Has this year had anything like that?

[Frayed Knot]

At the end of the season someone from the team has to gift Torrens something which has the names of all the guys he's gunned down trying to steal.



8/26, 4th inning, Bryce Harper, 2nd base

etc



Etched onto metal, cared in leather, burnt in wood, something along those lines.

Gary just mentioned Grimace. 2024 had Grimace, OMG, etc. Has this year had anything like that?

[Cowtipper]

Yeah, I don't mean to gripe but relative to last year this season just has no character. Grimace et al were fun subplots.

[Centerfield]

Dammit. Some bad luck that inning. A few hard hit balls.



Luzardo looking tough.

[Centerfield]

Mendy should have someone up and getting warm.

[Centerfield]

That's the right move to pull Manaea here.

[Edgy MD]

I'm ag'in' it.

[ashie62]

Some overmanaging here

[The Hot Corner]

Lindor flashing some serious leather. Manea just seems to run out of gas.



Soto on to face Schwarber.

[Centerfield]

Well. Wtf do I know.

[ashie62]

My Mendoza aWar score is -3.0

[ashie62]

Wake up here Lindor

[The Hot Corner]

Top of the order needs to cash in the gift of Torrens getting hit to open the inning. Let's run this clown now.

[ashie62]

Bloop hit may get him going again like his bunt did previously

[ashie62]

Yeah baby!

[Frayed Knot]

Philly defense starting to leak oil again.
