Did SNIGH show the banner parade?

[Edgy MD]

They're wearing the Norfolk hats and blue jerseys.

[Edgy MD]

Interesting to see the outfielders batting 6-7-8.

One mans interest is another mans depression.

[Zvon]

I wanna say good at bat by Muffy there in the 1st but those last two pitches made mincemeat out of him.

[Edgy MD]

Bases loaded, one out, number eight hitter up.

[Zvon]

Damn, Wright was an inch away from that screaming meemee. A base hit only nets one run, Bucs going station to station.

BIG DP!

[Edgy MD]

RBI hit for Barmes, but Liriano bounces into a goofy double play. Mets down by onsies.

[Edgy MD]

They call almost all checked swings strikes these days, it seems.

That was BS and I'm glad Turner had something to say about it.
Byrd just misses getting hold a one.

[Zvon]

Great catch by Byrd on a short pop up to right.

Tabata tabs one for two runs.

[Zvon]

Gary doesn't seem to know the difference between a team "cooling down" and a team "living in the ice age".

[Edgy MD]

This game seems to be getting away from us.

They should be batting 15th, 16th and 17th.

If at all.

[Zvon]

Niese only gets thru 4 & 1/3. 6-0 Bucs.

Every time I look over at the TV there's a Pirate flying around the bases.

Is Harvey pitching yet?

[Zvon]

Old man Atchison in to pitch. Gets a slow grounder for out #2, runners on 2nd & 3rd holding, and then gives up a 2 rbi single. Basehit up the middle scores another. 9-0.

[Zvon]

Tejeda with a 2 out double. Murphy Ks and leaves him stranded. How many times have we struck out this season so far? 300 yet?

[Zvon]

Yea, there's a run. And its scored a single for Byrd. I think Inge made a few errors on that, looking towards home amongst them. Yea, that first run is soooo important when you have a 9 run lead.

[Zvon]

West don't need no help. What a dick.

[Zvon]

Lets give that run right back. 10-1

[Frayed Knot]

In trying to describe this offense there's got to be a word below 'incompetent'

[Zvon]

Yikes. Thumped can sure sound like fucked sometimes, lol. At first I really thought Gary said fucked.

Devoid? Nonextant?

[Zvon]

My feelings on the booth chat about Valde: he'll never get it. So he better grow into someone who can get away with hot-doggin. It can be done. When Reggie hit his 3rd homer in that series game in '78 I said to myself "okay Reggie, now you can be as hotdoggy as you want. You earned it."
