Enjoy Joe and Steve and don't forget that the ESPYs will follow immediately after the game ends. I don't think that ESPN will remind us or put up a countdown clock or something like that.

I wish ESPN had decided that the ESPYs were important enough to show all day on continuos loop and just ceded the game to SNY.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Let's bring it.

A condom game

Strange, you don't get many rubber games in 4-game series.

Hey-- where's my ESPY red-carpet special? Fuck this noise.

Dammit! I turn on the TV to see a 4 day old film of ESPN celebrating itself and so I could watch their "reporters" suck up to the athletes they're supposed to impartially cover plus a roving pack of 3rd rate celebs and hangers-on ... and, instead, they're feeding me a fuckin' baseball game!?!

What kind of sports network is this anyway?

[nymr83]

oh fuck nieve is down...

[Guest Edgy DC]

Nieve down.

Oh, Christ.

[metirish]

Looking at the replay I'd say he's done for the season , poor guy.

[bmfc1]

I guess it's good that they didn't cut Redding as Adam Rubin said on Saturday.

Eh.

[MFS62]

What happened to Nieve?
Later

[Guest Edgy DC]

Look like his hammy went trying to leg out a hit.

Francoeur puts Church's arm to the test. Excellent.

[metirish]

I thought maybe he'd done his knee in.

Miller has mentioned the espys by my count eight times since they came on before first pitch.

Atlanta...



You've been FRENCHED.

[Guest Edgy DC]

How about Tim Redding showing some heart?

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

Right quad strain for Nieve, according to the radio.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

Now, we've been Frenched-- thanks to a misplay in RF, a triple-ish hit from the dessicated Garrett Anderson leads to an RBI single from the slightly douchey Escobar.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

Nice giddyup from Castillo beating out an infield hit to second.

[Guest metsguyinmichigan]

Another bad error. And a walk.

Bases load with no outs, heart of the order.

Not good.

Hey, any idea when the ESPYs are on?

[Frayed Knot]

Redding got beat by a bunch of shit hits plus that error - but he was also going to too many deep counts and walking McLouth there is what killed him

[Guest metsguyinmichigan]

And is that the last we see of him, or does the injury buy him some more time?

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

Dammit Jerry, quit rearranging those deck chairs-- we've got a taped award show waiting.

Gimme a D! Gimme an F! Gimme...

[metirish]

Down the swanny she's going lads

[Guest metsguyinmichigan]

Wheels all the way off the cart now.

[Guest metsguyinmichigan]

Not sure what a swannie is, but I bet it's not a good place.

[Guest metsguyinmichigan]

Escobar did us a favor. That was a mercy out.
