standard minor league rules. Just wanted to get him a turn at bat.

Gary, Keith and Kevin showing support for Jason Collins.

Things we have learned from Kevin. Robert Carson's uncle is gay, Ike Davis has a sister that is lesbian.

No comments from Keith on what he would have thought during his time - even if we acknowledge that it was a long time ago.

You sure hope that it was understood by all ahead of time that such things were OK to become public knowledge.

I think this is great. Especially the support other basketball players are tweeting. It's important he gets other players behind him.

No pun intended there.

This game is like one of those Snickers commercials .... Not going anywhere for a while?



5 innings in just under 2 hours. I keep looking for the Yanx & Sawx

[Guest Swan Swan H]

When even douchey jockos like Nick Swisher are putting support out there, maybe things really are changing.

And on another note, I'm doing a bit of research for the Braves KTE and I see that the Mets only have three sacrifice bunts this year. No other NL team has less than six, and four have fifteen or more. Oh, and the Braves have yet to hit a triple. Amazing.

I was thinking the same thing.

Ive always thought that odds are Rusty Staub is gay. Even when I watched him play as a kid in the 70s. It didn't matter to me then, it don't now. I loved him. Not carnally, mind you, but as a player I loved him.

[Zvon]

Shit. Harvey almost got thru 6. You could see he was gassed. Great job considering he was off. Thats BIG to me.

I hate to post this, but I make em to use em.

It's not that I think Keith would be a neanderthal on this issue in general, but he does tend to get a bit traditional about the whole sanctity of the clubhouse thing (remember his remarks about SD's female assistant trainer?) and I'm thinking that maybe his silence as Gary & Kevin did much of the talking said as much as he might have himself.

[Frayed Knot]

Carson & Atchison do their jobs but now with the #9 spot coming up we're going to be in a situation where we'll use four pitchers to get four consecutive batters.

[Edgy MD]

Valdy gets the old seven-foot single.

[Zvon]

For your insurance run needs.

[Edgy MD]

Byrd about a half day behind that fastball for strike three.

[Frayed Knot]

Meanwhile, we can't touch their just-called-up reliever through three straight innings.

[Zvon]

OMG these strikeouts in big spots. And little spots.

[Fman99]

Heads up D there by Turner and Tejada to get the runner.

[Guest Swan Swan H]

Not sure I've seen a 5-6 play like that before, but I'll take it.

[Zvon]

Wow. that could have gone real bad. Heads up by Tejeda. Turner did what he should have, threw it towards the bag. Good play.

[Fman99]

Got to like the 1-6-3

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Real effective pen work so far.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Leadoff dubble for Tyrna

[Fman99]

Turner with the well struck double. Let's get an insurance run, OK?

[Zvon]

Well, if we aren't gonna hit, we need two more gooseggs from the pen.




Wasnt prayin for the double but He works in mysterious ways.

[Fman99]

Sorry, Gary, some schlub reliever for the Marlins can never be the pride of Lubbock, Texas.

[Guest Swan Swan H]

Dagnabbit. Murph hits Duda's grounder and Duda hits Murphy's fly ball and it's 3-1.

C'mon Buckaroo.

[Edgy MD]

That rocking motion that Ramos does is weird. Does he ever officially come to a stop?

[Zvon]

I guess the whole pen is thirsty tonight. GJ Lyons.
