[Piggiestomatoes]

,150 against righties, .300+ against lefties. Leave Tubby in the game for Torres!

That went through Teixiera, so technically you are correct.

Finished with 9 hits plus 2 walks and three errors behind him over 5-2/3.
The fat fuck was lucky to get away with just 4 runs (plus the two sitting out there)

[Guest Swan Swan H]

I'd run Torres here, just to see Cano make another half-assed effort on the throw and allow it to go into center.

[Fman99]

Yay!

Tejadaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

[Frayed Knot]

Welcome back Ruben!!!

[Piggiestomatoes]

[bmfc1]

Rottino! Torres! Tejada!

[Guest themetfairy]

And we are tied!

[Zvon]

YEABABY!!!!!

[Guest metsguyinmichigan]

YES!!!!!!!

Finally, they help RA out instead of the other way around.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

Mangia!

[Frayed Knot]

Now here comes the stall tactic at the mound that someone was complaining about in a different thread.

A hit please!

[Guest Mets � Willets Point]

Crap.

[Guest themetfairy]

I'm glad I'm watching this one at home - I can't imagine what the trains will be like when the game finally ends.

Rottino stays in the game replacing Hairston defensively rather than Nieuwy. Hope that doesn't come back to bite us.
Obviously the reason is because it allows you to put the pitcher further down the batting order - but, hell, Terry never lets a reliever go more than one inning anyway.

One pen inning dodged.

What a stupid line by Francona.

[Zvon]

Oh. So Francisco must have meant to say chicken-shits. That makes more sense.

Take it easy-- it's just the Percocet talking.

The thing is, EVERYBODY uses that line when they defend the DH.
I just stupidly thought Tito might be a bit smarter, or at least less cliche-dependent.
