It is. Bucks smart. He wanted to go off but he don't wanna be gettin tossed. And it was a strike.

[Zvon]

Now he leaves the pitcher in? Lyon? Yea, cuz he burned Rice.

[Zvon]

I knew the homer by Wright was just a delay of pain.

[Fman99]

Fuck you, Brandon Lyon.

[Frayed Knot]

Not for nuthin', but how many piece o' shit hits over 1st base do the Braves have tonight?

[Zvon]

!!!???

[Edgy MD]

I'm not the only one who thinks Byrdo has a better arm than Cowgill. Nice.

[Edgy MD]

Gubba.

[Fman99]

Nice work by Bobby Pee to get out of that one.

[Zvon]

Whew. I'm still in shock that Pena didn't try to tag. Amazin'

[batmagadanleadoff]

Harvey Korman sighting right now on AMC. Oh Headley? Headley!

[Frayed Knot]

We should try mixing in some, you know, HITS in and amongst our HRs

[Zvon]

LETS GO VALDE!!

[Zvon]

I think G&K are right. Every pitch that guy makes is illegal. Well, they didn't exactly say that, but noted that his foot is not on the rubber at release.

Nice SB Valde.

[Benjamin Grimm]

Maybe this will be Anthony Recker's day to take the mound in a tie game.

[Edgy MD]

Look to you like Bax didn't do anything to avoid that pitch?

[Frayed Knot]

This would be a nice time for US to get one of those piece o' shit dunkers over 1st base

Or a liner to left-center, either way.

[Edgy MD]

Loverly. Good job taking third by Baxter, too. Let's plate him also.

Yeah, except that I was worried about him getting tagged out prior to Valdy crossing the plate.

Or short. BIG HIT MR T.

You think Valde slid in head first to home to make sure he crossed the plate asap, or cuz hes insane?

[Zvon]

Yep. He knew that was gonna hit him and had time. He takes one for all of us.

[Fman99]

Yeah insurance runs! Must be thanks to all the damn Geico commercials.

[Edgy MD]

Tack-on runs --- better than potato chips.

Burning through their bullpen in Game One is nice also.

[Guest Swan Swan H]

Whoever did the KTE for the Braves is a moron. Their bullpen sucks.

[Frayed Knot]

Wasn't Luis Avilan the guy from that Jose Feliciano song?

... Luis Avilan from the bottom of my heart

Except that the runner can't move up on a HBP; it would have been better had that missed him.
Turns out we didn't need it, but you don't know that at the time.

It was kinda slow moving to his front leg, I think the catcher would have got to that. But maybe.

[Edgy MD]

Hey! Check it out! Valdy in the infield!
