This is gonna my last CPF post until outstanding obligations to other forum members are satisfied.

[ashie62]

However, do not satisfy this man!

[Fman99]

I hate that guy.

[ashie62]

You see, he knows Fman might stand for Fartman 99 times.

[G-Fafif]

4/8 wtf?

I believe I heard a start for Johan coming up.

ONE DAY TIL HARVEY

[ashie62]

I'm lost here..is Duda still a Met?

[Zvon]

Nice. I like the bases loaded walk. But we gotta get more than one outta this.

Unfortunately this game has to compete with the new Science Of Doctor Who special, so I may seem even more distracted than usual.

[Zvon]

Another walk. Guess Ill take these runs any way we can get em.

[ashie62]

Walking on Sunshine!

[ashie62]

Yeah! Look at Thole chug!

[Zvon]

Thats what Im talkin about. The Man rips a double for 2 more.

No idea about Dudas status.

[Frayed Knot]

Duda taking his mail in Buffalo these days. Hit his first HR for them last night.


Volquez gone, I'll take a Box'a'bergers with that.

[ashie62]

Why not bring up DenDekker then???

[Frayed Knot]

Cuz he ain't hitting either.

And besides, weren't we all looking forward to an August OF lineup of Torres surrounded by Baxter & Vladespin?

[Edgy MD]

Just tunin' in now.

Why is Bruce Boxleitner pitching?

[Fman99]

Because Edinson Volquez couldn't find the strike zone with a GPS tonight.

Pads get on the board with a couple of hits. Let's see Heff settle in and get this last out here.

That'll do it! I've been on vacation a few days and lost track. I thought Matt DD was on fire..never mind lol

I thought he was auditioning for the movie Another Murder At The World Series.

[Fman99]

Torres is utterly useless as a lefty hitter this year.

[Zvon]

Gah! Torres, you suck tonight. 3 ks, twice w/bases juiced. ComOn Thole, keep it going.

[Frayed Knot]

If Torres had shown up tonight we'd have a bigger lead than a Kenyan marathoner

[Frayed Knot]

Is this going to be another one of those, 'we're going to regret all those missed chances' games?

Hefner's been sailing along but it's not healthy to depend on your 5th (and really, what, 7th, 8th?) starter and this pen to hold a lead with four Padre innings to go.

[ashie62]

Nah...Francisco is guaranteed to pitch tonight.

[Frayed Knot]

Ahh, this squad can blow a 3-run lead before even getting to him.

[Zvon]

ooo, nice hitting by Muffy. Just reached out and stroked it to left for the double.

[Frayed Knot]

Given the circumstances, that's a bunt of which I approve.

[Edgy MD]

Hey, we got a run out of it!

[Zvon]

Valde seems to always run outside that first base lane, bunt or no.

[Fman99]

I was thinking that also, he's in the prime spot to get tagged with an interference call even if he beats that play out.
