IGT 8/7 - Happy deGrom Day

[TransMonk]

What a punch in the neck this game was. I was reveling in Harper's failure all series...and he hits a walk off HR?

I listened to the extra frames on the radio. I don't know if I've listened to Howie at all this year. Tim Byrdak was filling in for Josh. How long has that been going on?

On edit: Nevermind. Took the time to read the rest of this thread.

Turned out Mejia had a barking calf. Gah.

What a rough offensive series.

Sure, but let's not forget that Abreu was 1 for his last 857 PH-ing.
That, plus Nieuey's 2 catches convinced me that the Abreu DFA has already paid dues. We lose that game twice before Tejada ever gets up without him out there.

A barking calf?!
There's no barking in baseball!
[backup joke]
Calves don't bark!!

I don't know about that, but you're playing the first-place team and it's a war of attrition. You don't have to run on it. Where's Terry the Cruel Drill Sergeant when we need him?
