Someone around here has to have a rabbit's foot. I hope you to start many of these in a row. Would say 82 be asking too much?

[Zvon]

I don't think I've ever started one of these.


Just thinking about starting one makes me nervous.

[Guest Kong76]

For Keith:

[ashie62]

And Niese is down with a hammie..Almost a replay of last year but without the collapse on the mound. This looks like a long stay on the DL

Hell, maybe Ollie just got his job back

[Frayed Knot]

So let's review here:
We're down three-zip here largely because we've lined into two different DPs after getting the lead-off runners on, while they've got three runners in & two on w/no outs all despite getting only one ball out of the infield, bunting poorly twice and missing a base.
Oh yeah, and we're down two starters in the last three days.

Murphy may be down in rehab all season but he left his law here.

Ollie, we're sorry we demoted ya. To make it up to you, can you please
start against the Yankees next Friday night? Thanks.

[ashie62]

That was a thing of beauty 5-0 fish

I am now seriously wondering if Jerry makes it back to NY tonight

[Zvon]

I can't see or hear the game where I'm at today.

I don't know if I should thank you guys for the info or curse yaz all to hell.

Okay, I won't take it out on u guys.
Thx 4 the info...


Damn. We may have to change that to "Omars Law"...

[ashie62]

This the nadir of the season to date

[Centerfield]

Any word on Niese for those of us not near a TV?

[seawolf17]

I kinda want Ollie starting next Friday against the Yankees. He's pitched better against the Yankees than literally almost every other major league team: 5-1, 2.61 in six starts.

It had better be.

Methinks you may get your wish.

Nothing from the booth on Niese yet, but Keith sounded glum

[Guest OlerudOwned]

Really kind of the team to try working all their suck out over the weekend before I trek out to the Ted to see them Monday night.

[A Boy Named Seo]

He tweaked something in his leg fielding a bunt. He threw 1 pitch after that and immediately motioned for the coaches & trainers to come out and then gingerly walked off the field. Looked like he was grabbing the high hammy under his right ass cheek, IIRC.

[Frayed Knot]

Hey, at least we followed that disaster up by going down 1-2-3 on 8 pitches.
But on the bright side, Wright won't have anyone on base when he strikes out to lead off next inning.

I'm all for this.
I can only see an upside.
What's goin on w/him can't get any worse.

[Fman99]

And Uggla goes yard. What a kluge.

[Guest Swan Swan H]

Cora! Cora! Cora! 7-6, Alex on 2nd after a huuuuuge 2-run double, Bay and Animal due.

[Guest Swan Swan H]

Frenchy pops up for Carter in an entirely unnecessary lefty-righty move, and ends yet another rally. One run game now boys, time to pull up yer sox.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

Say! Carter's doing all right, isn't he? Why, yes! Bay might have struck out, but this Animal's got a good shot of doing something he--

Oh, a they're bringing in a lefty, you say? GIVE ME THE ICE-COLD RIGHTY!

And fucking fantastic-- SARGE stays in right.

[Zvon]

They are just teasin us, aren't they?
Stringin us along.

I few innings ago I had no hope and I felt better.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

Yes. Yes, they are.

[Guest Kong76]

Phwam!

I thought Ross and Coughlin were going to start swappin' spit there.

[Frayed Knot]

Well it's official, it's all MY fault.

I got disgusted when it was 6-0 a while back and left.
Came back after about an hour - figuring the game was probably already over - only to discover it was 7-6.
Seconds later came the 3R HR.

I should be put on an ice floe and shoved out to sea ... at least for a week or so.

[Guest Kong76]

I am happy to see GMJ participate in this game in a helpful way.
I hope it doesn't add more days until the time he is DFA'd.
