And Hefner responds with a 5-pitch 1-2-3 inning and all is right again with the world.

Duds dudas it!

[Zvon]

Give em one.

[Edgy MD]

Just tuning in. Where did this week's worth of runs come from?

Line up support for their future Supreme Court appointments also, I would expect.

[Edgy MD]

Really love burning through an opposing bullpen in Game One of a series.

[Zvon]

Hef for 7? 8?
83 pitches after five. If there's is no reason to see Parnell we are much better off tomorrow. Give Rice a breather too. 7 and then a rag tag fleet of pen[crossout:2wshgtqg]shit[/crossout:2wshgtqg]people?

[Edgy MD]

I don't really like Hafner batting against Hefner unless Hifner is catchng and Hofner is umpiring.

[Zvon]

TEJEDA! WTF!? U hv a fuckin huge lead bro!

8-3 in the 6th changes everything. Hef huffin.

[Edgy MD]

Warthan should go to the mound with this look.

[Edgy MD]

OK, good job. Way to suck it up and contain the damage. Pitch like a dude that's got a lead.

[Zvon]

K, now that its 8-3 AFTER 6, things are a lil better. Lil bit.

[Edgy MD]

All-important YMCA time at YSIII.

Another one of his low energy plays.
Weird that Hafner not getting a good break is what screwed Tejada up, but that's no excuse. Shouldn't even have been looking that way.

[Frayed Knot]

I want a run or two here, just to tell these skanks that there'll be no comeback tonight.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Hef gets a hat tip for sacking up and getting through that frame.

Sorry we couldn't add on.

[Edgy MD]

Rice, Rice, Baby.

[Frayed Knot]

Y'know, if the Yanx insist on going through this dog and pony show in every home game 7th inning, they should be made to forego the commercial break.
The biggest problem MLB has these days, IMO, is the length & pacing of the games, so why should these clowns be allowed to add three minutes to theirs every night all because George Steinbrenner wanted to act like he invented patriotism?

One or the other guys, not both.

[Edgy MD]

Gotta say, the road grays look great tonight.

[Frayed Knot]

Mets pitchers have mostly made him into Robinson Cannot this series.

[Edgy MD]

Rice looking very krispie.

Additionally have to say... they believed in this guy and stuck with him through some early bumps when they were giving up on some others (Burke, Edgin), and it's paid off for them.

I C what u did thar^

So we have to use Rice. Good thing he's nice.

If this goes south I'll point to Tejedas head up ass play and if I have to point to that play his bags better be already packed.

Are you saying that his pitches have some snap, crackle, and ... well, you know, to them?

[Edgy MD]

Don't focus on a potential FUBAR. Waste of important energy that you'll need to save the game.

Not to defend Ike's fishing expeditions, but I really didn't think he went on that one.

But seriously, the rules from MLB say that the half-inning break is to be timed at 2:05 (2:25 for GotW and 2:55 for playoff games) except that one team gets to make one of theirs into a six minute break whenever they feel like it.

[Zvon]

Byrd poo.

[Zvon]

Broyles from Fringe gets the ball.
