[Zvon]

Damn. Another K. I'm very happy with Lags start but that was one shitty at-bat.

Thank you. Me too. I seriously bought cards as a kid for only a few years (early 70s), tho Id always pick up a few packs every season. It was in the mid 80s when I went crazy collecting cards, Mets and others. So like 70- around 76, I was into it big time, and then from '83ish to 94ish.

[Zvon]

We all know we are going to need more than one run, right?

[Zvon]

YES! 'd rops in for a 'd ouble

[Fman99]

Yay for RBIs.

[Fman99]

Yay for jolly fat guys who get their bunts down.

[Ceetar]

hey, Colon not quite completely advocating all-DH in both leagues.

[Zvon]

Very good hitting by Mr. T.
& nice bunt by the big guy.

2-0

We all know we are going to need more than two runs, right? (hey, it worked the 1st time)

[TransMonk]

OK. Now I respect Colon...for tonight at least.

[Edgy MD]

d'Arnaud gets his average up to .111, Cologne actually puts a ball in play, and we get a second run before getting into the Braves pen. Nicely done.

Roger Connor 138

Ruth was 9th on that list the year before, for career.

[Edgy MD]

Hey, scored off the bullpen!

[Zvon]

Should I push for three? Young out at 2nd hurts those odds, but big hit. If he Kd I would have benched him.

Thank you. Never heard of him. Never heard that fact, I'm sure. That's a good one.

[Ceetar]

and Connor took the record from Harry Duffield Stovey in 1895. Stovey the first player to hit 100 home runs.

[nymr83]

Need to add another run here, this game is not safe from the shitpen

[Theoldmole]

The injury report is sponsored by a personal injury lawyer?

We've gotta wreck that pen.

You know too much. We may have to take care of you.

It's Google/wikipedia really. Although the Connor bit was a quizup question the other day.

Just don't ask me where I was when Aaron hit 715.

[nymr83]

Fucking tejada[list=]

[Edgy MD]

Two fastballs inside to Heyward. And he rolls it over.

Colon has manly courage.

[Zvon]

Whew.

Just caught a few minutes of Phillips and what he said about the Braves having our number was very human, and a little surprising coming from him. 'lil bit. Truthful tho, and I like that.

[Lefty Specialist]

Dessert-worthy job by The Jolly Fat Man.

[ashie62]

Colon is a cute cherub..

And our ACE!

[Zvon]

Hell yea, challenge that!

[Frayed Knot]

Not gonna win this one.

[Zvon]

Tie goes to the runner. Shorty should be two fer two.

[nymr83]

CHALLENGE!!

[Zvon]

Not good that it's taking so long.

[Edgy MD]

Actually IS good.

Tie went to the runner. Laggy gets an infield hit chasing a pitch out of the strike zone.

Our ol' friend Pedro Beato coming in.

[Zvon]

WHOA! That's something else.
