I see Paulino going to give the toe a go.

Did we ever get word on the conditions of the hands/wrists of Tejada & Thole?

it's sore.

find out tomorrow. I think Collins is serious about resting Reyes.

[Fman99]

The rare Saturday night game not on WPIX. Yay for me!

Boo for Ian Desmond though, 1-0 Nats.

[Fman99]

Great tag there by Turner to get Zimmerman stealing.

[Fman99]

Meh. Gee looks shaky out there.

[Fman99]

Fucking hell. A three run homer to the pitcher, on his first pitch as a big leaguer. FUCKFUCKFUCK.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

Oh, yeah-- we can hit! I'd forgotten for a few innings there.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

Holyshitdon'thurtyourselforanyoneelse... and nice Baycatch out of the near collision. Phe-ew.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

Polite crowd.

I mean, I know he hit the dong and all, but that's a hell of an ovation for a guy giving up four runs in less than five innings.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Bay ties it!

Why didn't I go tonight?!

[Fman99]

Bay picks a good time to break an 0 for 37 road streak with the KABOOM.

Brand new game, 6-6.

yeah, why didn't you?

Burkhardt (on the Strasburg media circus): "Strasburg hasn't shown any ability to have any personality so far."

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

I missed a bit before that but did they say Valdespin did something stupid?

[Fman99]

MAJOR kudos there to the Mullmet for the inning ending GIDP.

I'd just turned it on too. didn't catch that.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

Got his MO-JO workin', yes?

Not sure. I think they were just discussing him in light of his not being promoted/general path through the organization.

Kudos to Keith for not selling the easy-moralizing angle Gary was peddling, as regards Milledge and other "bad eggs" in the prior regime's fold. (G-- "You had all those attitude problems. All those antics... I mean, all the talent in the world to play major-league baseball. And he's out of a job. He's not a major leaguer. He's not a major league ballplayer." K-- "Yeah. Because he can't hit. He can't play.")

yeah, Keith certainly doesn't sugar coat much. He was still killing the fish defense yesterday.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

"Hi. I'm Not Jason Bay."

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

Keith: "I'd like a little more wood around my label."

Gary: "That may be the most homoerotic non sequitur you've ever managed."

That's not fair. Bay has 22 more hits! (It's nearly 200 more PA, but who's counting right?)

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

My first name? It ain't "Stop Walking People and Giving Up Bombs, A-hole."

It's Manny. Mr. Acosta, if you're nasty... like me.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Suddenly our best reliever and being sent out for a rare --- at least rare for Terry Collins when trying to seal up a win --- second inning.

Please tell me that exchange actually happened.

Tying run reaches on a walk and Espinosa comes to bat...

[Guest Edgy DC]

Espinosa is a Dirtbag.

Gary's external response was actually four or five seconds of awkward silence. But you knew what he was thinking.

Ye Gods. Manny Acosta may never give up another hit.

[Frayed Knot]

I'm Manny Fucking Acosta dudes!!

[Guest Edgy DC]

Well, they have a silencer button for Gary's actual response.

Keith once actually said, on reviewing video of a player with a big leg kick in his swing, "Wow! His cock is bigger than Darryl's!" That was followed by about 10 long seconds of dead air.

Five whiffs in two innings for Acosta, and props to Terry for riding him out.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

There's something more than a little Scarface-y about Acosta's sneer after an inning-ending K, is there not?
