So Tiffany, when your mom named you was she hoping you'd grow up to be a pole-dancer/soft news-bunny or was that just a happy coincidence?

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Let's go suggy.

Ron prescient once again with a call on the set-up pitch for the 3-2 change away. Let's go Ike.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Ike's having a tough night.

[Guest themetfairy]

Ugh

Nice piece of hitting-- he hit an outside slightly-hanging curve the opposite way.

And HEY-- Bay caught a ball while retreating without incident? He is living right tonight.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

Big-balls evening for the former Thanagarian-- just one hit and two baserunners since the third.

seriously though , how fucking good is Ron?, it seems every game Ron will do that several times a game, He has come out of Keith's shadow in a big way.

wait , Tiffany is on, gotta go to the bathroom for a minute.

Murph with the fancy-handin' double-play. It's like watching a gorilla use sign language.

lol, you mean funny bollox

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

No, I mean, I know it can happen. I KNOW it's within his capabilities. But it's just kind of viscerally odd to see, y'know?

Burning Affeldt on Thole? That seems... unwise.

[metirish]

Oh I know , it's a "web gem" only cos it's Murphy...

That's funny, I was just picturing her dancing with a pole. Mine.

No offense, but don't hurry back Kev.

[Fman99]

What a great catch by Newey!

[soupcan]

Oh, I like this guy.

seriously, to echo Fman , no offense but don't hurry back Torres.

[Frayed Knot]

In addition to the great catch, Nieuwy got a GREAT jump on that ball.



Ummm, is the lefty/righty switch for a light-hitting SS really necessary here Terry? 'Specially since that's like the second hit Rauch has given up this year.

[Fman99]

Nice work by the pen tonight. Now it's up to Bay, Newey and the rest of the Apple Bottom gang.

OE: Duda hitting on deck for Hairston...

[Fman99]

Bay with the infield hit. Hat's on inside out (you're going to have to trust me that this is the case).

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Nice thing about having your bullpen torn up by an injury is that you can f with the "closer" as necessary. Few weeks of success and Bochy would no longer be allowed.

Doodoo's gotta make this chump pay anywhoo.

[Fman99]

Lazy fly out for the Duder. C'mon, New Guy.

[Fman99]

OH BABY!

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

wOw

[Guest Kong76]

Woo Hoo

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

THAT's how you work a LOOGY.

With DP machine Cedeno coming up (and Tejada behind him).. do you consider a safety squeeze here? Hell, with the strong safety Newhouse on third, you've got a shot of knocking it loose even if the throw beats him by three steps.

Great AB by Thole and hustle by Nieuwie.

[Guest themetfairy]

Josh!

[Fman99]

That's some serious persistence by Thole there to work a hit out on the 9th pitch of the at bat. And Newey going first to third on that, puts the winning run 90 feet from home.

And now, it's all up to... Ronny Cedeno! Aw, hell.

[metirish]

Great AB, great base running
