That's a BOC

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

Stammen is a pistol. I don't remember him having this kind of snap on the slider.

[Edgy MD]

Valdy is the Human Knockout Punch.

Hairston becomes the go-ahead runner on first. Sets up the double-play, but that's not Torres' scene. Let's go, Andres!

[Edgy MD]

[bigpurple:5oc2lofg]FUCKING YEAH![/bigpurple:5oc2lofg]

[Fman99]

YEAH ANDRES MUTHAFUCKIN TORRES!

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEHAH!

[nymr83]

Blind Squirrel finds nut!

Wright walked intentionally to follow... And oh, look, Duda is out of the game... Satan will bat.

Let's see if we can put this game out of range for shitpen to fuck it up.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

Fail, Satin.

[nymr83]

Satan can't get the runner in with 1 out, Murphy will do it but after another pitching change. At least we are burning through their bullpen in the first game of a series

[Edgy MD]

It was 2009 or 2010 games against Washington that I came to revile the term "eighth-inning guy."

[Fman99]

Your new eight inning guy, Tim Byrdak.

[Edgy MD]

Three rightfielders, three leftfielders, two shortstops, protecting a lead at the end with a defense that looks weaker than the the one they started with, and Batista the pitcher of record. Yeah, that looks a little springy.

Leadoff batter on against Byrdie.

[Frayed Knot]

Going to have to overcome both the pen AND the 'D' tonight

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

And one of the played-all-game guys boots the likely DP from LaRoche.

Francisco on to face fresh-from-the-DL Bam-Bam (with Parnell as the parachute), and go for five outs? This'll be interesting.

[Edgy MD]

Francisco looking to get five outs.

I absolutely approve of this. Don't make me look stupid, Frankie.

[Guest Mets � Willets Point]

What is the score? MLB.tv crashed and Gameday is showing a much less exciting game than your comments indicate.

[Fman99]

I want to approve of it but my first thought was "oh, dear God, no."

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

4-3, one out in the eighth. Francisco on to face Morse with Zim at second.

And Frank Frank's been quietly awesome the last five times out or so. He might be a good deal safer to use here than Bobby, who seems to hang stuff in homer-able position with more regularity.

[Edgy MD]

Yeah, for me too. Mets up 4-3, one out in the eighth, Frankie in and the tying run on second.

[nymr83]

Ugh, come on Murph! At least he got one to avoid disaster

Excellent. That's much better than Rottino up for the longest at-bat in history.

[Fman99]

This fucking bullpen.

[Edgy MD]

Boo, Desmond.



Tie game.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

Fartnuggets.

[Edgy MD]

Nobody on the Mets bench but Nickeas.

This one's more on Muffy than on the pen.
Even if he just gets the force there we've still got the lead.

[nymr83]

I hate the bullpen!!

[Edgy MD]

Not sure I don't give Ike a green light on 3-0, but we get the walk anyhow.

[Frayed Knot]

Ike gets on the only way possible for him these days.

[Edgy MD]

Don't approve of that bunt. Got Zimmerman in, then slap it past him. That's money for Thole.
