Attaboy Jose Jose Jose Jose Jose

[Fman99]

Insurance runs make me happy. How happy?

[metirish]

Keith is not at all high on that Morse kid, picking him out all night

[Guest Edgy DC]

When Jose is happy, I'm happy.

[Frayed Knot]

Oooooh, it's the 2011 debut of Creepy Sun Baby

[Gwreck]

I believe Rodriguez remains eligible for a save as he came in when it was still a save situation.

Yes. It was a SS when he came in so it can't become NOT a SS for him.

[metirish]

Jesus Gary stop with the Cora love...."forever endeared himself to the fans"?, yeah right

[Guest Edgy DC]

Well, K-Rod is endearing himself to nobody as Cora endears himself to first base.

Shikey. Two on now.

[Frayed Knot]

Yeah, let's walk a few more guys in front of the middle of the order.

[Guest Edgy DC]

It's a save situation again if Terry wants to bring anybody elbus in.

[Gwreck]

I dislike when the media tells me who to like. I didn't like Cora, I didn't like Francoeur, I didn't like Glavine. I'm sure they were great people for the media to deal with but let's cut that out already.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Fuck, Jose Jose, shoulda turned 3 on that one.

Well timed GIDP there. Let's put this fucking thing to bed.

[Fman99]

[Frayed Knot]

Just think about how much worse that inning would have been without the tack-on runs.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

It takes a special sort of uncontrol to walk Alex F. Cora and Ian F. Desmond.

Whatever. Put this sloppy shit in them books.

[metirish]

sloppy but fun , like those sloppy seconds back in the day.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Baby put to bed.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Reporter: "Ah, yes...ah, why you put the otha playah in fa Hu? You wah winnin by 1 point...?"

Collins: "Because Hu can't hit and Murphy can."

For us bloggers that are occasionally worried about making fools of ourselves when we get the odd chance to ask a question of these guys...It's nice to know the bar is kinda low.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

You gotta ask Collins that if they gave him "walking to the mound" music what song he'd choose. Do you think Collins even likes music? Or is it something he finds weird. You know Jerry liked his Coltrane and some of that motown soul, and Bobby dug the classic crooners.

a low blow there I think , she asks the questions the others would never ask.....her standard question is "why wasn't Hu playing", so tonight's question was well within reason.

Probably a low blow, but maybe not. Every one of her questions I've heard has been racial in nature and has nothing to do with baseball. Then again, that's _exactly_ what her reader/viewership wants to know. Similar to how Swisher probably cost the Twins millions of dollars in revenue/interest from the Japanese crowd with his dirty slide.

[soupcan]

While I very much enjoyed the Asian reporter's question (for all the wrong reasons), I agree with irish that she's got balls asking what she's asking. She struggles with the language and trying to get Terry to understand where she's going, but God bless her she perseveres.

That cannot be easy in a room full of English speaking sportswriters, not to mention she's on live TV.
