IGT 7/26/06 - Day Game Against The Cubs

[Guest Yancy Street Gang]

Castro singles Wright to second.

Enter Mr. Floyd...

[Guest Yancy Street Gang]

Dusty to the mound. He's calling for Glendon Rusch.

I have a good feeling about this.

[Frayed Knot]

<<<<---- Speaking of big lefty hitters ... I'm big Mo!!!




Shame to lose Wagner if this continues into the 10th since he had a good & quick inning ... but ya gotta PH Cliffy in this spot.

[stevejrogers]

Big hit Corneilus

[Guest Edgy DC]

We just need a singele Cliffy.

In particular, a single long enough to score David Wright.

[stevejrogers]

Apparantly Prior got injured covering first base, per Dan Patrick

If I had my time again,
I would do it all the same,
And not change a single thing,
Even when I was to blame,

For the heartache & the pain,
That I caused throughout my years,
How I'd love to be your man,
Through the laughter & the tears,

Situation no win,
Rush for a change of atmosphere,
I can't go on so I give in,
Gotta get myself right outta here,

Now I'm fully grown,
And I know where it's at,
Somehow I stay thin,
While the other guys got fat,

All the chances that I've blown,
And the times that I've been down,
I didn't get too high,
Kept my feet on the ground,

Situation no win,
Rush for a change of atmosphere,
I can't go on so I give in,
Gotta get myself right outta here,

And of all my friends,
You've been the best to me,
Soon will be the day,
When I would pay you handsomely,

Broken hearts are hard to mend,
I know I've had my share,
But life just carries on,
Even when I'm not there,

Situation no win,
Rush for a change of atmosphere,
I can't go on so I give in,
Gotta get myself right outta here,

Situation no win,
Rush for a change of atmosphere,
I can't go on so I give in,
Gotta get myself right outta here,

Gotta get myself right,
Gotta get myself right,
Gotta get myself right outta here,

Gotta get myself right,
Gotta get myself right,
Gotta get myself right outta here,

[Guest Edgy DC]

Holy crap, they're LOOGy-ing with ol' 2112.

I think "O'l 2112" is a Johnny Cash song.

[Guest Yancy Street Gang]

Is Dan Patrick that female race car driver?

[Guest Yancy Street Gang]

Big swing for Cliffy. 1 and 1.

[Guest Yancy Street Gang]

A home run swing, of course, isn' t necessary.

So he grounds to short to end the inning.

On to the tenth.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Hey, peeps, any reports on who is up in the pen?

[Guest ScarletKnight41]

A weak grounder by Floyd ends the inning

[seawolf17]

Time for bonus baseball. Definitely should have played hookey and gone to the game today.

[Guest Yancy Street Gang]

At least it'll be top of the order again in the 11th.

Hopefully it'll still be scoreless when that comes about.

Who's next? Heilman? Feliciano? Bradford? Oliver?

Can we get Lima here in a hurry?

[Willets Point]

That would help end the game swiftly.

[Guest ScarletKnight41]

The next best thing - Heilman comes in

[Frayed Knot]

Sure, assuming the everything-stays-the-same principle.

Also one could argue that Valentin swinging away could have won the game, or that NOT bunting would have given us an extra crack at it since we weren't so intent on handing them an out.

[Guest Yancy Street Gang]

Groan.

Heilman has some redeemin' to do.

[seawolf17]

Sacrifice bunts are for losers.

[Guest Yancy Street Gang]

So far all of my Schaefer is going to pitchers.

A nice serving, though, to the hitter who wins the game for us.

[Guest Yancy Street Gang]

Leadoff walk to Mabry.

Maybe Pagan will bunt a poppup to the catcher.

[Guest ScarletKnight41]

No - Pagan puts down a good bunt.

Runner on second, one out

[Guest Yancy Street Gang]

Nice little bunt in front of the plate advances Mabry to second.

Ronny Cedeno will try to drive home the go-ahead run.

[Guest Yancy Street Gang]

Is poppup correct spelling?

Keith talking about what an awful hitter Cedeno is.

[Frayed Knot]

Leadoff walk (Bad Aaron) and Dusty bunts - which makes more sense as it with a weak hitter (Pagan) but also sets up a weak hitter (Cedeno)

[stevejrogers]

Come on ERIN make up for Sunday here

[Guest Yancy Street Gang]

Infield hit for Cedeno. Wright slips and falls trying to field the grounder.

Important part: The runner on second doesn't advance.

[metirish]

Keith hates extra inning games......probably waiting to go to Elaine's.

[stevejrogers]

UGH! Come on, DP, DP!
