IGT - 8/14/12 -- Mets @ Reds

[Frayed Knot]

Tie games on the road are so mentally draining.
There's just no margin for error and, if you don't score in your half, you're faced with the task of: hold them-score-hold them again in order to win.


And, looky here, another walk by the pen!!

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Edgin coming in to induce the triple-play.

The Tri-State Ford Sales Drive is going on NOW!!!!

How is Manny Fucking Acosta still pitching on this team. Frying Pan or Fire, he can play either position.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

No offense at all..Bad team..fire Collins

[Edgy MD]

It's hard to win when you don't score.

[ashie62]

Collins fashions himself as a results oriented manager..bye bye

[Edgy MD]

There's certainly a clear and growing case against continuing with Collins, but I'm not sure what a "results-oriented manager" is. As opposed to what?

Was fading fast late and went to bed immediately after this out. I knew nothing ends well on the road, in tie games, with this klooge of a bullpen.

[Edgy MD]

And a manager who reserves Francisco for saves --- not that I have much more hope for him than Acosta, but still.

[Edgy MD]

So what does it say on Latos' forearm? Is that scripture?

[Frayed Knot]

Whatever it is I hope it's something that he really, really believes in otherwise, once he changes his mind, he's going to feel and look like a dick for the next, oh say, six or seven decades.
