We're making Chapman work this inning if nothing else - 25 pitches so far and still only one out.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Cedeno whiffs.

Hairy to bat 4 Nickeas.

[Benjamin Grimm]

Cedeno out swinging. Two down.

Johnson's thumb is okay?

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

Hairston for Nickeas. Strength versus strength.

Johnson's thumb appears to be fine-- he's suiting up.

[Lefty Specialist]

Terry burning the bench here. Let's hope it doesn't go 14.

[Benjamin Grimm]

I'm not too optimistic that a battle of the bullpens will go in our favor.

[Benjamin Grimm]

Walk loads 'em up. Pitching coach to the mound.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

Need some Whitestone Creamery here.

I can't believe I'm saying this, but I wish our manager was more like Dusty Baker. Except that it's not like Dusty is doing this in order to have Chapman face the meat of the order. He's as locked into the '8th inning guy' thing as anyone. It's the 7th. On the road.

Between Rauch & Chapman pitching I got totally messed up on the inning being played.
Still not wild about Dusty's pen mgmt. Hell, their closer went down and STILL CHapman won't close despite the numbers.

Creamed.

Baxter called out on strikes. And pissed off about it.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

I VERY ADAMANTLY DISAGREE WITH YOUR CALL, SIR! AND I KNOW THE AREA AROUND HOME PLATE WELL-- I'M FROM QUEENS!

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

Holy Shit, Murph, DOS MANOS!

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

Well, obviously, Parnell's your eighth-inning guy.

[Lefty Specialist]

It's the NINTH-inning guy I'm worried about.

My name is Rob Johnson
I work in Wisconsin
I work in a lumbermill there
The people I meet when I walk down the street
They say, "What's your name" and I say...

My name is Rob Johnson

Seven or eight more runs and I'll start feeling comfortable.

Good karma.

[Frayed Knot]

This 'Mr. Pessimism' role kind of suits me.
Maybe i'll keep it going for a while.
