Cardinals teeing of on Myers in the first, 3-0

[Willets Point]

I can't believe I've been reduced to rooting for the Yankees and Phillies to win.

I know right?

Watching the MLB Channel , it was made for this stuff, Mitch Williams is a dick.

[Willets Point]

Of course I hate the Cardinals too, but it would be nice for the Braves to have the albatross of an "epic collapse."

[metirish]

Cardinals killing the dick Myers, 6-0

Wankees beating Rays 7-0, way to go David Price again against the wankers

[Frayed Knot]

So with the Rays losing big and the Sox on the verge of clinching a spot ... it's raining in Baltimore and the game is being halted.
They'll wait all night for this one. 3-2 Boston in the 7th.





Cards winning big, Braves hanging on. Looking like some Thursday NL baseball.

Philly got 1 in the seventh and now have the tying run on against Kimbrel in the 9th.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Squeaky bum time, as Irish calls it.

[Frayed Knot]

Kimbrel: 1B, out, BB, BB

Their pen has bailed them out all year and now it's about to blow their season with StL winning big.


Sac Fly (Utley) and it's a tie game!!!!

Blown.

Phils tie on Buttley's bases loaded sac fly.

[Gwreck]

Now Pence walks and the bases are loaded again.

[Frayed Knot]

Braves fans have to feel like the Chicago transit cop when he confronts Harrison Ford on the El train in 'The Fugitive': (drawing and aiming his gun) "KIMBREL!"

[Gwreck]

I think the Braves still win this game however -- Phillies already used Lidge and Madson and don't seem to be in any great hurry to break out any of their other good relievers.

[Gwreck]

Our old friend Luis Ayala just walked in Tampa's first run. They're now down 7-1 with the bases loaded and nobody out.

Edit: He just hit a batter to make it 7-2.

[Gwreck]

Sac fly and then Longoria homer....now 7-6

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Don't stop the music.

[Gwreck]

Rally stalls at 7-6 and they go to the 9th. I wonder if Rivera comes in or not for the MFYs.

That was the scenario Girardi was so concerned about to lobby MLB for extra days off, so let's hope.

[Gwreck]

Dan Johnson PH homer with 2 outs and 2 strikes and Tampa ties it.

[Willets Point]

Fucking Yankees.

[smg58]

And Rivera stays in the dugout. I'm going to go out on a limb and say that somebody will complain about that in Boston.

[smg58]

The Braves can't get to some guy named Schwimer, and they and the Phils have another inning.

Extras in TB as well. Can't say there's no drama.

[smg58]

On to the 13th in Atlanta, as the Braves are shut down by De Fratus. Who?

[Guest Edgy DC]

Used to drum for Echo & the Bunnymen, I think.

[Frayed Knot]

This triple-action ongoing stuff is great.
It also confirms what I was thinking coming into today: these all should have been day games.




... and the Phils go ahead in the 13th

[Guest Edgy DC]

Boston-Baltimore is dragging along at the end.

Not that I expect skedaddling.

[Frayed Knot]

Baltimore-v-Boston drags in April

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Casey at the Bat for TB with winning run on 1st in 11th

[Guest Edgy DC]

Bosstown has first and third with no outs in the ninth. Papi at the dish.
