Ive said this beofre...
he has had ample opportunity to play the hero.

In that dept he's been pullin an 0'fer.

Still--in one big spot, if he does play hero, thats all we will remember this winter.

[Willets Point]

David Wright will be chugging Schaefer all alone in the clubhouse after this game.

Apparently so.

[Zvon]

Throw hits Ruiz in the back and he has a triple.
He would have been a dead duck.

OK--its official: NOTHING is going our way this series, nothing

This is scapegoating, and I'm not buying it. We need 25 heroes.

Point taken : agreed.

[Guest Edgy DC]

We've burned two of our three righthanded pinch-hitters, and have only LoDuca to go after Romero with.

And starting Saturday, 40 heroes.

[Gwreck]

I would still use a pinch hitter for DiFelice here. Especially if LoDuca's coming into the game anyway as a PH for the pitcher's spot.

Fergot Alou.

[Guest Johnny Dickshot]

The Goat reaches with a 1-one walk, and WWSB goes to Alou to PH for DiFelice. Manuel counters with Alfonseca.

and Alou

[Guest Edgy DC]

Charlie Manuel bringing in Antonio Alfonseca.

Athletes, baby, athletes.

[Gwreck]

Sets us up nicely to use Anderson to PH in the pitcher's spot.

Except that you have to bring in LoDuca anyway.

[Guest Johnny Dickshot]

Alou walks. Here comes Anderson.

[Zvon]

LMAO:
PhilS fan that I could hear yelling real loud,

"HEY MOISES, HOWS IT FEEL TO BE WASHED UP?!!!"

[Guest Johnny Dickshot]

One hop off the wall with a RBI Double!

[Guest Edgy DC]

Nice bench-juggling here.

True, but we also have to tie the game. I'm ok with burning the extra PH in this spot. This is the most important game they've played since last October.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Please, Jose.

Por favor.

[Guest Johnny Dickshot]

Intentional walk of Reyes to load the bases and pitch to ND.

[Guest Johnny Dickshot]

ND needs our prayers

[Gwreck]

...feel insulted, Endy. Feel very insulted.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Crazy move, Manuel.

[Willets Point]

Bases loaded with one out.

Pppppleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeaaaasee!!!! A hit, my kingdom for a hit.

[Zvon]

AND

*scuse my graphic french but no one seems to worry about it here anymore.

[Frayed Knot]

Well, Willie opts to burn the extra player and it comes up Aces.

Now Manuel opts to IW an ice-cold Reyes to set up a force and pitch to Endy - but puts the go ahead run on in the process and a speedy one at that.


Oodles of strategy goin' on here.
