IGT, 6/2/2011, Piracy vs. Metropolisness

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Muffy with a pinch RBI single 7-6 now 1st and 3rd

[TransMonk]

Hagin is FUCKING horrible.

Nice job, Murph!

[Guest Edgy DC]

Thank you, Daniel Murphy.

Thank you, Matt Diaz.

[Guest attgig]

wow. he was out by a mile, but thank god for not being able to catch the ball...

[Frayed Knot]

Aggressive (and correct IMO) sendings by Hale.
Either or both of those guys could have been out (Evans probably SHOULD have) but w/2outs and down by 4 in the 6th inning is no time to be sitting around praying for yet another hit to bring in held runners.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Passed ball scores Tejada! Tie game

[Frayed Knot]

Yeah, bloop THIS Pittsburgh.

[Guest attgig]

wow - a little more of not being able to catch the ball.

and i agree - both were correct calls. Bay definitely. Evans was a little less so, with it being so shallow in LF.

i'm not inferring it; you're inferring it. I didn't even imply it. I just think DW is trying to do what he thinks he has to, after the debacle of `09, to stay even moderately productive in the unfriendly confines of ShitiField.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Resop spelled backwards is POSER.

[Guest metsguyinmichigan]

Ye of little faith! Of course they were going to come back! We don't blow games until the last couple innings!

LGM!!

and i contend that he is foolish to do so. citi field never seemed to keep chase utley from hitting homers here.

[Frayed Knot]

- Good news: we've erased a 7-0 deficit

- Bad news: It's now the 7th inning.




Murph stays in at 1st. Parnell pitching and hitting in Evans' spot.

Wouldn't be the first time we erased a 7-0 deficit with Pelfrey pitching.

Of course, we lost that first one.

Or Mark Reynolds. Or Troy Tulowitzki.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

ONE MORE TIME, TALKING DOG

[TransMonk]

Parnell making me a little queasy there. Whew.

Let's pull ahead and not ask so much of our pen.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

Checked in early, between meetings. Checked out early, mentally.

What the fuck happened here?

(Oh, and we're through the 7th. Yay!)

[Benjamin Grimm]

Turner- Beltran-Bay due up.

Do you sense a big hit coming from Jason Bay?

No, me neither.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

Come on, Justin-- quality at-bats.

Carlos with a 3 run KABOOM in the 3rd. 4 run rally in the 6th.

[Guest metsguyinmichigan]

Hey, getting hit by the pitch counts for something! Go Bay!

He got one, not the type you were thinking though.

He gave up his body... to pirates!

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Jizzringhausen roars back to life.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Jizzringhausen scheduled to be pinch-hit for by Harris/Pride/Thole.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Pinch-run Harris! Pinch-hit Thole!

(Nope, they pinch-bunt Cappy.)

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

Cappy on to bunt?

[TransMonk]

Cappy bunts about as well as Pridie. Ugh.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Bad call, Terrence.
