IGT Wed Aug 1 Mets @ SF

[Zvon]

Ha! Theriot sucks. Take advantage David.

[Frayed Knot]

We gotta cash in on this situation.
If not, they get three more shots at it to our two and probably two of theirs are going to be against [no don't say it!] our bullpen.

[Edgy MD]

Wow. Wasted days and wasted nights.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Boy have we fucked up some scoring chances tonite

[Zvon]

GAH! Davis into the DP. Jeeze.

[Frayed Knot]

So after we were already up 1-0 two pitches into the game, we've out-hit them 6-2 plus been given 4 walks and an error ... and are still only up by one.

[Guest Swan Swan H]

Wright trying to make sure no one ever scores against the Mets.

The aggregate money on that deal would cost the Mets $5 million.

You'd get 1 year of Buck and 2 years of Bell. I tend to think you could get $5M worth out of those two players without too much trouble.

[Edgy MD]

It's not like anybody would put in a claim if that deal was to go down next week.

[Edgy MD]

Jason Bay is up.

He has some sort of stick in his hand.

Now if he could only remember what it's used for.

Hopefully he's taken up orchestral conducting.

[Edgy MD]

I got up to wash my face
I come back to bed, Jason Bay is on base!

[Edgy MD]

Let's hear it for pulling back the bunt.

[Frayed Knot]

Gotta take the bunt off if this dude is going to be this wild !!

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Good job Baxxy. He did his best to screw that turn up but it turned out ok.

[Edgy MD]

Well, opportunities don't get any more golden than this one.

[Frayed Knot]

This is where I normally complain that umps should make that call more often ... but not here.
Smart play by Baxter

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Unfuckingbelieveable

[Edgy MD]

Oh, wow.

[Zvon]

NO WAY!

[Edgy MD]

Way. It totally happened.

[Frayed Knot]

Unfrickinbelievable ... and it's the right call.

[Guest Swan Swan H]

I'm sure the rule is what it is, but why aren't the runners on 2nd and 3rd? That's where they would be were there no interference and Thole got thrown out at first.

[Edgy MD]

Because Thole was bad.

Really, I don't know either.

[Zvon]

Gah! Replay shows he was inside the line. But very close to getting back to it.
Wow, I didn't know that the lane started where the rule applies. So you can start out on the grass as long as your back to the lane for the last 40 feet. So he could have technically been called out even if the ball didn't hit him? Interesting.

Because to remove the incentive for the offensive team to commit an intentional interference the remedy is that all runners return to their original bases.

[Zvon]

Theriot still sucks.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

Penny saving bacon? I wouldn't believe it if I hadn't seen it.

Tejada makes his only out of the game with the bases loaded.
And Wright did the same thing earlier.
