Gay Dame? Yet another reason to hate the Lil' Osos-- sneaky Gay Dames.

No Sheff against Ted Lilly? In WRIGLEY? A missed opportunity.

And when did the Rockies give them Jeff Baker? Good spare part-- at 1B, 2B, SS and the OF-- that one.

[metirish]

What should I expect from Misch today?

[TransMonk]

I don't know what to expect, but I'm hoping that the offense from yesterday will show up so it won't really matter.

[Benjamin Grimm]

Down 1-0 in the second, the Mets are threatening. First and third, none out, Santos up.

Dropped pop up! A run comes home!

[Benjamin Grimm]

Oops, not actually dropped. Mixup between infielder and outfielder causes the ball to drop in between.

[ashie62]

Milton Bradley as an option for LF next year anyone?

Tee hee

[Guest Kong76]

That Milton Bradley is a real gamer!

** a collective moan falls across the thread **

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

Baker diving stop on the liner was just the first out, but it was the key runstopper.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

After two innings:

Misch has allowed 3 hits, 0 walks and 1 earned run (with further damage saved by nice defensive play at 2nd), with 1 K in his pocket, in 27 pitches.

Ted Lilly has allowed 3 hits, 0 walks and 1 earned run (with further damage saved by nice defensive play at 2nd), with 1 K in his pocket, in 23 pitches.

(Cue spooky theremin vamp)

[nymr83]

Soriano pulled a Castillo earlier with the "1-handed all-star" drop. board was down at the time

[metirish]

Google says 1-1 top of the 7th

[Benjamin Grimm]

We're in the bottom of the inning now. Misch has gotten the first out, and Lilly is due up.

[HahnSolo]

="metirish":2qv0580b]What should I expect from Misch today?[/quote:2qv0580b] Seven innings, one run. Never saw that coming.

Kevin Gregg in with a man on base. Only good can come of this. By the way... In 7 innings, Misch has allowed 5 hits, 2 walks and 1 earned run (with further damage saved by nice defensive play at 2nd), with 2 K in his pocket, in 98 pitches. Ted Lilly's day ends with 7 1/3 pitched, having allowed 5 hits, 2 walks and 1 earned run (with further damage saved by nice defensive play at 2nd), with 2 K in his pocket, in 98 pitches. Yeah, that's right. Your mind is blown.

Rockin' Doc Aug 28 2009 02:25 PM

Mets at the corners with Francoeur to face Gregg with one out. Time to bust this one open.

Benjamin Grimm Aug 28 2009 02:26 PM

But Francoeur strikes out. It's up to Tatis.

Benjamin Grimm Aug 28 2009 02:26 PM

Tatis comes through! A double off Soriano's glove, into the ivy. Drives home one, but the trailing runner is out at the plate, ending the innning.

Kong76 Aug 28 2009 02:27 PM Edited 1 time(s), most recently on Aug 28 2009 02:28 PM

Did Murphy run through a stop sign there?

Swan Swan H Aug 28 2009 02:27 PM

And Gregg is up to his Tatis in trouble as Fernando delivers the go-ahead run.

Rockin' Doc Aug 28 2009 02:28 PM

Frenchy goes down swinging, but Tatis picks him up with a 2 out double to deep left field.

Gwreck Aug 28 2009 02:29 PM

Hey, look, another runner thrown out at home. Thanks, Razor.

So, you know, good for them. metirish Aug 28 2009 02:43 PM It's 5-2 Cubs just in case you didn't know Kong76 Aug 28 2009 02:49 PM Walks are good.

TransMonk Aug 28 2009 02:54 PM I hat baseball. Rockin' Doc Aug 28 2009 03:03 PM After Murphy was thrown out to end the top of the 8th, I went outside to finish my yardwork so I'd have the weekend free. I told myself I could save myself some misery by doing so. I thopught is was better to read about how the team managed to lose the game than to actually witness it as it happened. That is what my expectations have fallen to now that virtually the entire starting lineup is on the DL. The losses no longer hurt, since I've actually come to expect them.
