[Frayed Knot]

I hope someone reminds Adam Eaton that he's really, really lousy.

[DocTee]

Eaton hasn't won in, like, forever.

[A Boy Named Seo]

Why do I have the Cubs/Reds? C'mon, FOX...

[nymr83]

1-0 WASHINGTON IN THE FIRST!!

[metsmarathon]

I have Brew Crew/Friars. I'll be listening to the Washington radio broadcast after the Mets game is complete.

[Frayed Knot]

Zimmerman doubles in Belliard w/1 out in the 1st


"Why do I have the Cubs/Reds? C'mon, FOX"

Because with no "home" game to affect your area the network goes to the Cubs game as a catch-all.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Ryan Zimmerman, American Hero.

[DocTee]

Pods/Brewers here in the Bay Area.

[A Boy Named Seo]

Fox just switched us over to the Nats/Phillies game from the spring training game in Cincy. Dig this Cubs starting nine:

Theriot SS
Fontenot 2B
Murton LF
Soto C
Pie CF
Cedeno 2B
Blanco 1B
Fuld RF
Rich Hill P

Go Nats.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Chico gives up one hit but gets through the phightin' phirst.

[Guest metsguyinmichigan]

And Chico raps a hit himself!

[Guest metsguyinmichigan]

Freaking Belliard. Could have broken it open.

[TransMonk]

Belliard wouldn't have done that against us with the bases loaded.

[Frayed Knot]

Wow, there's a rule where Belliard is allowed to NOT get a hit w/RiSP?
I was unaware that was permitted.

[Zvon]

Thats one beautiful park they have there.
If you've ever been there, the word "rinky-dink" comes to mind, but still, beautiful.

[Zvon]

Wow. Burrell makes that play.
Unbelievable.
That makes me worry when Burrell makes plays like that.
Cause he does something I usually don't say,....have I ever mentioned this, have you heard me ever say this??...He sucks!

[Gwreck]

Eaton got pulled in the 3rd inning with 2 men on and 1 out.

Wonder if he comes back on Monday (if necessary).

[nymr83]

short leash. they're taking no chances

[Gwreck]

Fucking Ryan Church.

[Zvon]

And losing 1-0 Charlie goes to the pen in the third, with two on and one out for Washington.
Wow.

This is one of the things I believe about the Phils, and have believed all season.
On the mound, aside from Hamels, they got nothing.
Or had nothing, cause that new kid Kyle Kendrick has been fantastic for the most part.
All the rest in the rotation can just barely win more than they lose, if that much.

And the Phils pen--it may have been awsum lately, but its due for a shillackin. Cause it sucks

UGH, and as I type this Geary gets the MUCH needed double play.
Wow.
Just wow.

[Gwreck]

Rollins picked off. Nice.

[Zvon]

ROLLINS GETS PICKED!

[Guest Edgy DC]

What's going on that has Philadelphia on their third pitcher in the fourth inning? Why panic now?

[Gwreck]

Strange indeed.

Sac Fly gets run #2 home for Washington.

[nymr83]

its 2-0 washington

[Gwreck]

1-1 bottom 4 in Milwaukee, Brewers threatening (1st and 2nd, 1 out).

[DocTee]

In Milwaukee, Prince Fielder has two--yes, two--stolen bases.

Note to Mets: if we play SD in the post-season, Josh Bard can be run on.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Pitcher 4. They're reaching into the starting rotation and sending Lohse out there.

Who do they think they are? The Mets?
