Satin!!

[Benjamin Grimm]

Starting outfield of Harris, Evans, and Pridie. The whole starting outfield appears to be done for the season, huh? (Duda and Pagan are both officially through, and Bay doesn't seem to be getting over whatever his illness is.)

Pascucci: "Everybody's got a concussion and I can't buy a start."

He's this year's Mike Hessman or something.

[Ceetar]

Schwinden gives up a lead-off double small-balled into a run.

second inning he makes an error with two outs, stolen base and a single drives him home.

1 out so far in the third.

[Ceetar]

Wright smacks a single up the middle to drive in Reyes, hopefully not for the last time ever, and Evans doubles in two more.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Jason Pridie --- finding his shit for the first time in about 11 weeks, with his second triple in as many games.

Maybe he needs to start to hit.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Wayne and Howie complaining at length about the home plate ump's calls.

Gary too.

Schwinden missed that it was ball four.

Gary: "Well he doesn't tell anyone else when it's a ball, why should he tell Schwinden?"

"He's called probably 10000 walks in his career, that was Schwinden's first. give him a break!"

[bigpurple:1wpmhjmc]Igarashi just came in with the bases loaded and no out and didn't give up a run.[/bigpurple:1wpmhjmc]

[Frayed Knot]

This version of the Igarashamon story had a happy outcome.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Iggy done good.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Heisey makes a great grab to stop David Wright from extending the Mets' lead.

But um, we tried to go deeper into the pen and came up empty.

Gurble...

[Gwreck]

Screw you, Byrdak.

You're supposed to get Votto and Bruce out, not give up hits. Getting these lefties is the [crossout:3q2zzgtc]exact[/crossout:3q2zzgtc] only thing we pay you for.

[Guest Edgy DC]

I think the primary failure there is Terry's. The secondary one is Byrdak's.

Meanwhile, Jose sometimes runs faster than he thinks.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Two outs on the basepaths in the eighth. Owitch.

Dengue Fever

[Gwreck]

Well, um, I guess Jose re-took the lead in the batting race with that double at least. Braun is sitting tonight.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Harris leads off the ninth with a double and is the tying run.

Will Wright get his first career sacrifice bunt?

[Guest Edgy DC]

Oh, shit!

[Guest Edgy DC]

Wright on with a vicious HbP. Terry trying to bunt with Evans here.

[Guest Edgy DC]

And it's an out at third. You're welcome, Redlegs.

[Gwreck]

NO BUNTING

[Gwreck]

After an assassination attempt, you don't bunt. You put one right back through the box and win the game.

[Gwreck]

FUCK

[Guest Edgy DC]

Game over. Communists win.

Ugh. Bunting and pulling pitchers while they're doing perfectly well. A textbook over-managing demonstraton.

[Frayed Knot]

Reasons to be uncheerful, part three.

1) Heisey's double whammy of robbing Wright of an XBH and RBI then coming back and hitting the 3R HR on the first pitch he sees from Stinson

2) NYM double whammy of making base-outs in the 8th: Reyes (stupid) and Tejada (worth the gamble but still a killer)

3) BiFL !!!!!!

[Guest Edgy DC]

4) Terry pulling a guy pitching his ass off, in favor of the lefty-lefty matchup in the seventh with one out and nobody on. How did it come to this?
