Tyson Chicken IGT 8/15/13

[Frayed Knot]

The one thing we (Wheeler) didn't need there on offense was a quick inning.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

Ronny Cedeno is playing defense like he's angry. Thanks be that, so far at least, he's still hitting like he's Ronny Cedeno.

Last frame for Wheels?

If he even gets through it.

Except that 99% of the world doesn't even get a glove on it, and it's still an amazing catch even if you do. No, trust me on this one, I am NOT sitting at home saying I could have done that one better. The throw I honestly believe I could have done better (although we'd have to turn the clock back about a quarter century or so).

I'm one of the 1%! But catch it? Last time I tried to make a play like that, I don't remember if I caught the ball. When I came down off the wall I broke my ankle. I remember that part.

This should be Wheelers last. 11 Ks, still tied 1-1. 111 pitches. I'll tip my cap to him before he even gets out of this.

[Zvon]

Wow, I forgot about that K ticket deal. Great start and TY Zach.

Kid's got balls, even if he throws a few too many of 'em.

Ike looking like he's returning to midseason form.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

To be fair, Ross' slider has been the kind of nasty you go down to Tijuana for.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

And Satin's like stubbly penicillin.

He seemed to be swinging with confidence vs. the curve, which could be the problem. And he looked at fastballs tonight. Is he trying to switchup his own book?

Warthen on the phone with Bucks wife.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

Old Man Atchy works a smart, not hard seventh.

I'm Eight Miles High.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

Uh, oh, De-nor-fi-E!

[Zvon]

Huge double for Byrd.

3-1 Mets

[Zvon]

Everyone says to offer him two years is crazy talk, and I agree, but man that dude is in good shape, good condition. Always bustin it.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

Padre vet or no, I can't imagine that the colossal bitchfest Gregerson is putting on in the dugout (re: calls and Denorfia, presumably) is going over well with the teammates.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Yup. Meantime, Headley to the pine with a case of the Germen Measles.

[Zvon]

How on earth could a pitcher play w/o wearing a cup? Outfielder can get away with that, but even infielders- they have to be nutz not to wear a cup.

[Zvon]

Very nice catch Lagares.

[Zvon]

Decker helping out Germen. Oh no, that was a great pitch. Germen helping himself.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

Donkey-Show-level movement from Germen. Siddown, Jaffy.

[Frayed Knot]

For a guy who I assumed was just a temporary call-up and would be quickly sent back as soon as the next guy was ready, Germen has done alright for himself in the short time he's been up.

[Zvon]

We got two runs. Germen til he hits a bump?

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Buckshot.

[Frayed Knot]

Buck you Stauffer!

We need to put this game away. I'm not sure I have another (really) late night in me so I would hate to hell to see this game tied.

Plop. The baby drops out.

Good call. Would like to see him finish this.
AND NO WALKS!!!
