7-08 IGT - First of Two

[TransMonk]

I can tell this lineup is ugly without even reading the names.

2 hits, 7 strikeouts, 7 left on base, 2 runs scored (on 0 hits, both unearned) through 7 innings.

The pitching has done it's part, frankly more than I expected...we need a couple of runs guys.

[Guest Hillbilly]

Franco with the lead-off base hit. Come on Wright!

[TransMonk]

Who's hurt?...Gameday just says injury delay.

[Theoldmole]

Ramirez, and what a play! Clipped in the head by elbow from the left fielder when they collided going for a popup. He held onto the ball, threw it in to the cutoff man, and then collapsed in pain.

[Guest Hillbilly]

Rameriz. He's up now.

[Theoldmole]

Cliff Floyd bopped again! Just above the knee.

[Guest Hillbilly]

Now its: Floyd Hit by pitch. He's a tough guy and takes his base.

[Theoldmole]

Reyes in to pinch run for Franco. No head first slides, I hope.

[Zvon]

Collision with Willingham and Ramirez on Wrights shallow pop to left.

Willingham elbowed Ramirez right in the side of the skull.
It was amazing that Ramirez held onto the ball and threw it back to the infield before going down in pain.

OUCH!
Floyd is solidly hit by a pitch in the leg.

And Reyes will pinch run for Mr Franco!
Kool.

[Guest Hillbilly]

Or hand first.

[Zvon]

UGH--LoDuke gets tied up on an inside fastball and goes down swinging.
Fox says only the 8th K for LoDuca this season.

Come on Castro

[Theoldmole]

And yes -- a head first slide on a steal of third attempt -- called back as the pitch is fouled off. Leading with his bad hand.

[Guest Hillbilly]

Wig out!!!!!!

He slid head first!

[TransMonk]

Mother of Pearl...grrrr.

[Guest Hillbilly]

Can't get the key hit!!!

Let's get that walk off hit in the ninth!!!!

[Zvon]

Sanchez plunks Cabrera in the same exact spot as Cliff was hit.
Benches empty-
paybacks are a bitch.

[Zvon]

I gotta question that move in a 3-2 game--
but I wont say i didnt like seein it.

[Theoldmole]

Sanchez stings one in for a strikeout. Beautiful pitch. Two away.

[Zvon]

whoa-I loved that inning by Sanchez. gets it alllll done.
Hope its inspiring.

[TransMonk]

Chavez, Valentin, Woodward due up in the ninth as I pray a little pray.

[Guest Hillbilly]

Got to love Sanchez!!! Lets see some of that fire from the bats!

[Zvon]

Cabrera gets tossed between innings.
Good.

They better wake up and start using their bats for Pelfry in game two.

[Gwreck]

Yeah, it pretty much sucked. I was glad to see Willie playing hard to win though.
