IGT 4/22/06, Pedro vs. the Padres

[Guest OlerudOwned]

Perfect bunt by Chavez.

I bet he runs now. Just a hunch.

EDIT: Or they'll try and bunt him over. Oh well.

I get the feeling the idea looked a lot better on paper.

Website authors are getting really pissy about people hotlinking images.

Bunting for hits is fine, I think it's overreliance on sacrifice bunts that folks object too.

[Gwreck]

Young already at 50 pitches.

[smg58]

And a kaboom for Piazza! Oh, wait...

[Guest OlerudOwned]

#399 for Piazza...wow, what a shot.


For old times sake.

[Willets Point]

Sweet homerun by Piazza ... I mean boooo ... okay I really liked it but it better not help put the Padres ahead

[Guest OlerudOwned]

Waaaatch it Keith. Save the gender-equality issues for another time.

[smg58]

Hernandez is going to get a reprimand from his bosses (and deserve it) if he's not careful.

[smg58]

For those of you not watching this on TV, they showed the Padres dugout after the HR and there's a woman massage therapist on the Padres training staff. Hernandez made some half-serious but fully inappropriate comments about women not belonging in the dugout.

[Guest Rockin' Doc]

Those of us that can't see the game appreciate the explaination.

[Theoldmole]

Forget the Mets. I wanna play for the Padres.

Neither do kids, ala SF Giants

[Guest OlerudOwned]

Castro with an RBI single. Ramon rocks.

4-1 Mets.

[Guest ScarletKnight41]

4-1 New York. One run scores on the X-Man's bases loaded double play, followed up by Cliff's single driving in Mr. Wright from third.

[Guest ScarletKnight41]

Forget it - OO caught his mistake.

[Guest Rockin' Doc]

In ESPN's Gamecast, Ramon Catro's at bat never took place. Both the game log of plays and the boxscore skip from Nady driving in a run with the GIDP to Endy Chavez flying out to end the inning. At least now they have updated the score to 4-1.

Pedro with a 1-2-3 inning in the bottom of the 3rd.

[Gwreck]

I've tried the ESPN gamecast, but I still find it decidely inferior to the MLB gamecast. I used to like the ESPN gamecast of 4-5 years ago, but have stuck with MLB since. Still the superior interface.

[Gwreck]

Pedro cruising, he's retired everyone except Piazza so far.

[Gwreck]

Batting after the pitcher, Jose really needs to remember to take some freaking pitches. I think he's pressing, what with the slump he's in.

[Guest Rockin' Doc]

I've been playing around with both. Not really crazy about either one, but I have to have something for my baseball fix.

I watched the first 5 innings of the White Sox and Twins game earlier this evening. The Sox were teeing off on Radke and while Freddie Garcia was effectively enticing the Twins to repeatebly hit line shots at the White Sox defenders for outs. Freddie wasn't folling many hitters, but he was getting them out all the same.

[Gwreck]

What channel did you see the CHW-MIN game on? I was watching WGN, and had to mute it. Those guys -- calling every player by their first name, ("Paulie playing behind the runner with 2 outs") actively rooting with every play are absolutely awful. Worse than Sterling even.

[Guest martin]

hooooweee! pedro is throwing filthy curveballs!

[Guest Rockin' Doc]

I was watching on WGN. Hawk Harrelson takes rooting for the home team to new heights (or lows). He actually said, "Come on Joe, take him out of here" during one Joe Creedy's at bats. I lived 5-6 blocks from Old Comiskey in the early 1980's, so the White Sox are my AL team. Harrelson was announcing their games back then, so I guess I'm accustomed to his being the ultimate "homer".

[Guest Rockin' Doc]

Wright is trying to tire Young out in this at bat alone. Hard earned walk in a good at bat by Wright.

[Gwreck]

12 pitch walk for Wright. Nice.

[metsmarathon]

the padres should switch to the fancy new "digitzed" camo that the army is using now.

also, i really wish my planned yuma arizona test wasn't pushed back, or i'd be at this game. sigh.

Eh, between him and Santo on the Cubs broadcasts it's nearly impossible to watch the local games. I've been living in Chicago for a good chunk of the past few years and still am astonished by how bad they are as announcers.

[Willets Point]

Hernandez plays the "get a sense of humor" defense on his "women should be in the kitchen" comment.
