IGT 6/26/2013: NYM @ CHI (A) -- Danks for Nuttin'

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

(Moved to the A's for Mark Guthrie/Tyler Yates before he played a down in our jammies.)

[Fman99]

Yep, I was surprised Gary didn't get that one, I knew it right off the bat. I was trying to remember who they got for him when they shipped him to Oaktown.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

I know I was pretty deeply in denial regarding Doodoo, but now that he's out of the field and EY-Lagares are in the d is quite good suddenly.

On an unrelated note Buck really sucks the moose organ right now and apparently was mad (uh, but not at Terry, no) for being PH for last night.

Timing is everything but I trust ya. So Gary does not know every single thing about the Mets.

That's appropriate. Jeter is French for "throw up," you know.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

The more I see/hear him, the more I kinda can't wait until we can tell him to go Buck himself.

OE: Okay, the arm's okay.

[Zvon]

Buck throws out a stealer. Mark the date!

That was a perfect throw. GJ Buckyboy.

[Edgy MD]

Buck's got that veteran catcher thing that LoDuca had, a sort of bearing like he's the un-named captain whenever he feels like it.

On the other hand, Byrd is June's Buck, hitting at a level that nobody's convinced is sustainable, but Terry's gonna run him out there until he crashes to earth.

[Edgy MD]

Speaking of unsustainable levels, I'm Eric Young, and I got hits coming out of my pores. I weep base hits by night, and I fart a few more in the morning.

[Fman99]

Eric Young craps thunder and pisses lightning (and OBP).

[Frayed Knot]

Tough night for Cap'n Fantastic.

[Edgy MD]

And Comiskey II is crapping double plays tonight.

[Zvon]

Mr. Marcum takin a shutout into the 8th. Very nice.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

Even as fielders kick the ball, throw errantly, and make weird no-look exchanges, the DPs keep getting nailed down. It's like an old-timey pinball-baseball game, and the board is inadvertently tilted toward the "Double Play" hole.

Which is nice, considering just how much in life is tilted away from the double play-hole.

Wait, what?

[Edgy MD]

I tell you, give this guy a little run support, let him pitch his game, and he's a better pitcher than you've been seeing.

(Also, let him start against the Sox as often as possible.)

[Edgy MD]

Man, let him go out there for the ninth.

[Zvon]

A well rested Parnell will get the 9th.

[Frayed Knot]

Odd fact of the day: The ChiSox and their in-division rival Tigers have yet to meet this season and won't until just before the ASB when the season will already be more than half over.
On the flip side, from that point on nearly 1/4 of their remainder of the season (18 of the final 75 or so games) will be against the other - a fact which would be a lot cooler if both were division contenders although it isn't looking that way.

This time, it makes me more nervous to go the bump route with Marcum. Last thing I want to see is him in a position to waste his very very nice performance.

[dinosaur jesus]

Marcum won't get the chance for his first major league shutout, and second complete game.

[Lefty Specialist]

Boy, last night notwithstanding, these White Sox suck.

And Buck decides to wear the SombrerAU.

[Edgy MD]

He's got three-run pad. You can lift him as soon as anybody gets on.

Meanwhile, Recker's got to get some more PT. Meaning, NotBuck's got to get some more PT.

I see what you did there.

I hear ya. That's "the bump" thing that I usually endorse. Not tonight IMO. Lets get Shaun the win and get Bobby some work.

Q again!

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

We need to offer Quintanilla to the White Sox, like, tonight. Nobody will EVER think higher of him,

[Edgy MD]

Rey Quintanilla!!

[Zvon]

Parnell does his job in a very convincing manner.

Haha, was thinking the same. I luv Omar Q

[Edgy MD]

Shaun Marcum = Winner.
