Thole getting a 1-strike PH for Capuano after CC fails to get the bunt down.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Oh, I'm sorry, Wayne missed a balk call.

Balk..not a bad move.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Howie, not Wayne

[TransMonk]

Balk?

This is the strangest at-bat ever....and it was Howie.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Wild pitch.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

Wait, so Harris is at second? Third?

I don't know anything anymore.

Gamecast still has a 1-2 count on Thole and Harris at first. I hate the internets.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Harris went to 2nd on a balk that Howie thought was strike 2. At that point, Terry PHed Thole for Capuano. Thole was on his way in anyway since Paulino had the single and was PRed for by harris.

Now Harris at 3rd on WP and Thole works out walk.

[ashie62]

I smell runs!

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Sac Fly for Tejada who's all over Bay in the Ribbie Dept.

Perhaps they oughta flip lineup slots.

[Guest Edgy DC]

What terrible excution by the Buccaneers there.

[ashie62]

Ruben continues to make a case for 2012.

[TransMonk]

Thole walks, Harris at third, Tejada up.

Sac fly! Yea!

[Guest attgig]

beautiful. perfect situational hitting.

[bmfc1]

Many thanks to my suitemate, the MFP fan, for walking in during the strange at bat to--do you believe it?--ask me a work question!

Yup, McCutcheon couldn't possibly give a shit.

Turner making a better case.

[seawolf17]

I love how the Pirates have multiple multi-racial McCutchens.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

Walking Murphy to get to Reyes?

We're through the Pirate looking glass.

depending on the rumors you read, it could be both...

I suspect he means Ruben replacing Reyes. Turner at second?

[Guest Edgy DC]

Hurdle must feel like Terry did yestidday.

McCutcheon always seems (to me anyway) to be a heads-up player. One thing about the weather today is that I think the wind might be playing havoc with OFers throws, another reason why Hale's aggressive sending has been correct today.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Ginger foulpops out.

Beltran now.

Really. If you're calling McCutchen lazy, I'm first looking at your faulty eyesight, then I'm wondering why you're saying what you're saying. Just this series, dude's run out TWO routine grounders this for hits, and made the finest defensive play I've seen in CitiField with an all-out-sprinting-thoroughbred kind of effort.

[seawolf17]

I'm pretty sure 80% of Rubin's tweets during games are how the Mets have been out-grandslammed 18-0 since 8/09. Give it a rest, Rubin.

[Frayed Knot]

He did airmail that throw allowing Thole to get to 2nd, but I suspect that's more a combination of a tough day to catch flies and also a tough day to throw. He normally he has good arm.

[Guest metsguyinmichigan]

That gives Frankie some breathing room!

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Beltran walks in a run!

Here comes Clint Hurdle, he wants to give someone different a chance to whiff Bay with the bases loaded.
