Wilmer Flores, Mr. Bases Loaded.

Ike Davis, Mr. OBP.

Still. Keiths right. He should not be looking over his shoulder to right field. He should have been looking at Tueff.

Ike walks on down to first again.

[ashie62]

I missed alot of action.

Nice grab by Lagaro..

[Zvon]

Very nice catch by Bax. I get the feeling the final score of this game is not going to be 5-4.

[Edgy MD]

I guess Baxter's shoulder is alright.

Looks like he rolled his wrist, though, but he makes the third out, so I guess he's tootin'.

[Zvon]

5-4, two out, none on and Lags bunting? Jeeze. He thinks better of it and grounds out to short.

[Zvon]

Gratz Davidson (1st MLB hit). Now do something stupid on the bases.

[Zvon]

Parra bunts into the force. Ha.
Ugh! Niese screws up a DP. That grounder back to the mound was a gift!

[Edgy MD]

I'm glad Pennington hasn't been as effective with the bat as with the dee.

[Edgy MD]

If that wasn't Niese's last pitch, then my name ain't Nathan Arizona.

Good, tough job, Hawk, now go ice your wing.

[ashie62]

For a guy that was about to face Dr. Andrews not too long ago the Hawk did good.

[Edgy MD]

How does Ike dig out of the 0-2 hole there?

[Edgy MD]

Arizona had a twitter poll about who had the best cameo on Seinfeld --- Keith Hernandez, Buck Showalter, Paul O'Niell, or Danny Tartabull.

Keith won 88% of the vote, and the other guys split the remaining 12.

I wanna eat a Brownie.

HUGE!

[ashie62]

I hope JCL saw that..

No contest. Tho I think what Keith did there in that classic episode was much more than a cameo.

Dislocated right hip for Cody Ross....

[Zvon]

Dislocated right hip for Cody Ross. Thats pretty damn bad. Now I feel like a shitheel.




Over it.

[Guest themetfairy]

I'd never wish an injury on anyone.

But even with a dislocated hip, I still have an urge to slap Cody Ross' smug little face.

lol. I didn't wish it. But I did laugh at his misfortune. Took a bit but I have forgiven myself.

[Zvon]

Okay. I really feel bad now. Stop with the Cody replays.

[Zvon]

Come on guys. Don't give this game to em.

8-5 Mets in the 8th.

[Zvon]

WILMA!!!!!!!

Opposite field. Met fan kid catches it, very kool. I was not expecting that from Flores. I made Lagares a new KB last night but none for Wilma.

I better get to work. KBs for all the newbs.

[Zvon]

Good game. It looks like we ruined any chance the Snakes had of catching L.A.
Lets make it up to them by sweeping the Dodgers.

[Edgy MD]

Pretty cool to cap the game with Flores' first career homer.

Ike hit a buncha homers in this building last year and I kinda hoped he'd have a similar powerfest, but reachng base all weekend is amazin'. He reached four times today and scored thrice. He's like... Alan Dykstra, actually.

He may end up being Player of the Week.

[Edgy MD]

Murphy, by the way, did a psychout fake fist bump on Flores.
