I'm not really into that much any more. Not like the old days, anyway.

[Guest themetfairy]

Asparagus?

What was Keith talking about?

[Edgy MD]

Happy for the break, but it ain't right that a guy drives a ball down the line like that and the carom holds him to a mere single.

He made a funny ... Fred Astaire, Fred Asparagus
when the ump danced out of the way of hit.

I think.

whoops

Dios ayuda me, this bullpen.

[Edgy MD]

Lannan is going to enjoy Vegas.

[Frayed Knot]

This is where I think Terry over-plays the double-switch.
Is he really planning on holding Farnsworth over for more than one inning? With two outs maybe he is, but if not then the double switch loses its purpose. All it does, in effect, is pre-announces the pinch-hitter.

[Edgy MD]

It's all good. Duda will get another at-bat.

[Guest Mets Guy in Michigan]

I'd say Lucas is making a statement tonight. Good for him!

Interesting that the Reds are bringing in their only lefty now, two out and Murphy coming up.

Figured they'd save him for Grandy and Duda.

[Lefty Specialist]

Can't trust this bullpen to get 6 outs and not give up a run, however.

I'd like about 5 insurance runs, please!

That would make the game a toss-up

OK so he does stick with Farnsworth (which probably makes sense at this point) so I withdraw my premature rant.

Kyle Farnsworth...stopper...

[Edgy MD]

Quick. Call up Juan Centeno.

[Fman99]

He's not THAT fast. Recker with the dart.

[Edgy MD]

WHO NEEDS CENTENO?!

[ashie62]

Nah...Reckers the man

[TransMonk]

My favorite thing about Recker is that he rocks the old school catcher's mask.

Nice throw out.

[Guest Mixtapewormhole]

Farnsworth apparently moved to tears by Recker's beautiful throw. give him a second. let him collect.

[TransMonk]

Looks like Farnsworth had some words for the HP ump after that third out.

That's why Faransworth is a pinhead at times.
The pitch was close but it was a ball, and you got out of the inning anyway. Let it go!

[Edgy MD]

I think I just heard some salty talk from Ron and Keith between innings as they came back in a little early.

[Edgy MD]

Sorry, but they just look like the Cubs to me in those blue jerseys.

[Frayed Knot]

Hey Valverde, let's NOT let this get to Votto & Bruce, mmkay?
