Bench Murphy!!

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

Damn. A home run would have topped our record for most runs in an inning against the Yokels.

Bravo! Let's see if Ollie can hold the lead.

Most unexpected and damn it was fun......

[nymr83]

see what happens when i turn it off? i'm watching "operation repo" where they just repossesed a car from a bunch of guys running around in the woods playing dungeons and dragons with costumes!

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

Nice job settling-- or, rather, of not completely and immediately imploding-- by Ollie.

[Guest themetfairy]

Gary was right to be worrying about the weather. It's pouring here in Central NJ.

[Piggiestomatoes]

Fell asleep in the middle of the third. Did I miss anything?

Just when you want to stick a fork in these fuckers, they put together an inning like that. A fucking mazing.

Oh, yeah. Trade Murphy! ;-)

[Guest Kong76]

I never thought of this before. Bases loaded, a pop up to a vet player at
third and infield fly rule is called and he catches it. Batter is automatically
out, of course. Has anyone ever seen someone let it drop, fake boot it, or
something else to see if he could get some young player off base enough
to get another out or get some of the guys on base running or thinking
about running out of not knowing the rules to heart?

[Guest metsguyinmichigan]

Hang on, guys!!!!!

[Frayed Knot]

I did it in a softball game (and, yes, it worked).

I've seen IFR pops not caught in MLB (dropped or windblown) but I don't think ever intentionally and never saw a runner fooled by it.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

Never seen it actually work, myself.

Now, Elmer? That works fine.

[Guest Kong76]

Frayed Knot, wily vet.

[Frayed Knot]

That's using your head Jeff!

[Piggiestomatoes]

Francoeur takes one for the team. Thanks Frenchy!

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

AN!

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

DY!

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

GREEN!

="Kong76":121v2d6d]Frayed Knot, wily vet.[/quote:121v2d6d] The other one we used to do was watch when a batter didn't run following a pop up with only runner on 1st. Then we'd intentionally let the ball drop and get the DP while the batter was walking back to the bench assuming he was going to be out on the catch. Man did that piss people off! They'd be so embarrassed they'd try to claim it was illegal but a smart ump wasn't buying it.

no the best is when someone doesnt run out a grounder because htey think they're out... then you ROLL the ball to 1st base for the force.

Highly enjoyable ballgame tonight. This is why I keep tuning in, day after day.

PiggiesTomatoes Aug 18 2009 07:50 PM

Six quick outs, guys. No rain delay, please.

Glad to see we finally gave Derek F. Lowe the pounding he so richly deserved. Best inning since the Floyd/Beltran grand slams in Chicago a few summers ago? Church didn't get much of a hand or anything, although that partly may have been due to Diaz having just hit a 3 run bomb. Fun moment on the 7 train when a tourist couple from the British isles asks "why were they booing that one guy, Jones, so much?
