Man, somebody tell Wheelie what the eighth inning looks like. I'm not sure he's ever been there.

[Zvon]

If Vic is gonna dye his beard he should dye it black.

Always bet on Black!

[Edgy MD]

Wesley Wright's been around a few years, but still looks like a junior high student.

[Zvon]

Insurance time!!!!

Come-on, at least get one across guys.

[Zvon]

JFChrist!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Edgy MD]

There's those Wilmer Wheels I've been reading so much about.

[Zvon]

Flores is like the slowest guy on the team...on a fly to left? UghGahShit

[Guest d'Kong76]

That's some crappy baserunning decision!

[Edgy MD]

Sometimes it goes down that way. Playing the rookies looks like that. Hopefully Tejada stays in for defense.

(COLON is the slowest guy on the team.)

[Edgy MD]

Wright just got himself a handful of d'ArnASS.

[Zvon]

This is the first time this season that Mejia is set to close where I'm thinking "uh-oh.."

And that's against these Cubs who look like they'll swing at anything.

[Edgy MD]

Tempted to send Nieuwie or dD up for Campbell here. He's probably coming out on defense anyhow.

[Edgy MD]

Gose didn't heed the unwritten rules about celebrating the end of the eighth.

[Guest d'Kong76]

Three outs

Well, there's a reason for that; two or more hits in six straight outings.

[Zvon]

We are swinging at shit as well.

I wonder what was said between Campbell and the ump when he took the bat from him between pitches. That was interesting.

[Edgy MD]

Laggy could have caught that in his teeth.

Actually, I was zoned out of last night's game by the time he came in to throw a 1-2-3 inning so the bad streak was broken ... but prior to THAT it's been six straight one-inning (or less) outings with at least two hits.

[Zvon]

Cohen skipped saying it this time:

WHERE FLY BALLS GO TO DIE!

I did as well. Didn't recall he got in for 1.

He's lookin okay. 1 out. Cubs are helping, 2 out.

[Guest d'Kong76]

COOL!
Side B of Rocks tomorrow.

[Frayed Knot]

I was sure that one or both of those missed opportunities via the bad base-running DPs was going to come back to bite us.
Tribute to Wheeler & the relievers that it didn't.

[Fman99]

Put it in the books!

[Zvon]

Book it Danno.

Both Toys and Rocks were 2 of my favorite 8-track tapes. Played 'em zipping around in my Ford Pinto.
Enjoyed the musical selections.
