I know he was never going to be another Reyes, but when did Tejada become such a low energy player?
Not charging balls hard, weak leads from 1st, then slow to react at 2nd, etc.

That was our shot right there, it just can't happen, terrible stuff.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

We have got to stop playing like a team that's 10 games under .500

[Edgy MD]

Bob Geren, win this one for us.

And the pitcher just faked a throw there. No, no, no excuse.

[Frayed Knot]

btw, not that it's our greatest concern at the moment, but no way should that have been an Earned Run against Harvey.
To call it Earned you've got to assume that Cano's grounder would have moved Gardener up to 2nd and then that Overbay's single would have moved him up [u:2mxzto30]Two[/u:2mxzto30] bases. Both highly speculative assumptions, particularly the first one.

Suddenly, Kuroda's splitter is sharper than it's been all night.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Tejada can catch that flight to Vegas with Ike as far as I'm concerned.

And this is "home town" scoring?

Yep, the booth talking big about Omar Quintanilla.

[Frayed Knot]

Here's the thing about this shift vs Buck even when holding the runner on which gives him the whole one side of the field ... the Yanx don't care if Buck gets a single because Ike is on deck.

[Edgy MD]

Stop chasing junk, Buck.

And stop calling changeups in the strike zone.

Afraid Quintanilla would be worse.

Vote your hopes, not your fears.

Think Davis makes it to the plate in the bottom of the inning?

I was about the ask the same question: PH to increase the odds of getting the leadoff runner on, or keep Ike in based on the off chance of a tying HR?

[Guest Swan Swan H]

Oy. Somebody's got to keep that in the infield.

Not against a lefty.

[metirish]

Are you fucking taking the piss Tejada?

[Edgy MD]

Harvey's grinding here, I think. That hanger to Cano was the tipping point.

[Zvon]

WTF was that Mr T? How do you pull up on a ground ball up the middle?

[Frayed Knot]

'nother low energy play by Ruben

[nymr83]

Tejada doesn't even want to try for the ball?

Visited by the Ghost of Castillo.

[Edgy MD]

Yeah, he's done.

[Guest Swan Swan H]

One jeezly run and two innings to get it. No problem.

[TransMonk]

Harvey's line aside...this has been an ugly, ugly game.

[metirish]

Ike is up??

Damn

[Gwreck]

Delta airlines is paging passengers Tejada and Davis for flight 257 to Las Vegas. Please report to gate 10 to ensure on-time departure.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Anyway, guys. We're a swing away from tying this thing and 2 swings away from winning it.
