I appreciate that our announcers recognized that from the start and called the gift call for what it was.

Ankiel makes what looks to be the 19th bad base-running decision of the series

Yeah, I know you press when you're losing, but what's up with the Head-in-Ass disease?

I think that's just it, pressing. Terry preached aggression on the base paths this season so that's how it manifests. Plus after being able to run willy-nilly on Shelby Miller yesterday..

I swear to Christ I will Bunt****Punt you awkard sigma nus

[Edgy MD]

What was worse about that bunt by Faildespin? The execution or that he was called on to do it at all?

you tell me. radio wasn't descriptive enough.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

In the Latino community, the word we use is Valdespin.

[Edgy MD]

JV seemed to be bunting like it's something he saw some guy do in a movie when he was a kid, but it was otherwise a culturally unfamiliar action to him.

[Edgy MD]

F'd ourselves out of a low-hanging fruit of a run and possibly a big inning there, didn't we?

[Frayed Knot]

I REALLLLLLLY hope we don't regret the missed opportunities in that inning.

[metsmarathon]

calling on him to do it. first and third with one out. why. the fuck. would you ever bunt?

is there any chance he did it on his own? miss a sign? was it a squeeze play...? why would you ever...?

[Edgy MD]

I already do...

[Edgy MD]

Cardinal announcers are totally drooling over Murphy.

Hope someone asks him about this over asking about bat flips.

really?, so other teams announcers drool over other teams players too.

I bet they are usi9ng terms like "old school" , " line drive hitter", "perfect 3 hitter"

[Frayed Knot]

Well, I don't know if Niese is "fixed" but he's tossing a helluva game and deserves to have a shut-out to this point.

When the team has 15 hits in the series and Murphy has 14 of them (that may be a bit off but it's close) it's hard no to.

small sample, but the strikeouts aren't there yet. Gonna need more of those.

And how did Ankiel catch it so quickly?

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Golden Sombrero for Ike.

Well, while the Mets have been generally tripping over themselves this series, he's been very difficult to get out. They're adding up that he's had more hits in a series against the Cards in a series than any player in the league, and then he makes that nice backhand play on defense.

They are not drooling over Ike Davis.

you're ahead of me.

It will be his second Ball in Play hit this month.

[seawolf17]

Murphy for Shelby Miller. Done.

[Ceetar]

and there goes Parnell's save.

[Edgy MD]

Yeah, good. Give Buck the save.

Nothing against Brandon Lyon, but I always get the idea that we're putting the game in Randy Quaid's hands.

[Edgy MD]

Shouldn't Duda get an attaboy and a defensive replacement at this point?

[Guest Swan Swan H]

Ike needs a wake-up call. Two weeks in sunny Binghamton (not SUNY Binghamton) might be the medicine.
