IGT #19 ESPN Sunday Night Baseball!

[Guest d'Kong76]

Good hustle, Soup! ... ooops!?!

[Gwreck]

This is unreal. What the hell is wrong with these guys? How did they win 14 games?

[Edgy MD]

Consistently effective pitching, timely hitting, and the glove of their center fielder.

Not so much by infield defense.

Why does this guy have two first names?

[Zvon]

This went from being great to blah, then to GAH!, then horrible. No one no where thinks Muffy should have slid into 2nd? And Soupy, stoopy. Embarriskin'.

[Edgy MD]

Bunt against this big guy.

[Gwreck]

That Cuddyer GIDP in the 5th is looking like the Foxwoods Resort Casino Turning Point of the Game.

Why didn't this even occur to, say, JohnnyLags? (Or the coaching staff during his turn up?)

Good Lord, the movement on his stuff.

[Frayed Knot]

I'd REALLY like to see them get to Miller.
This Yanqui closer tandem is like a pair of power forwards.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

Frankly, not hopeful of our chances in the ninth against Miller.

[Edgy MD]

Be OK, Wilmer.

[Zvon]

Gah! Wilmer already had bad ankles!

He stays in.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

Cripes. It's not like Flores needs help running slower.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

The Metly plate approaches in these last two innings look like these hitters weren't prepared to face these guys. Which is unfortunate.

Not quite the worst-case scenario for the series, but not good.

[Zvon]

Boooooo!

[Frayed Knot]

OK, sideshow's over. Back to the divisional grind tomorrow.
Nice of them to schedule a 1,000 mile trip right after a night game, btw. And not just a night game but a later starting night game.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

I suppose that liner could have fractured Niese's wrist, then bounded over to Duda's eye socket, traumatizing a recovering SugarPants watching at home and putting him off baseball forever.

So, yay?

[Edgy MD]

Next time you get a DH, don't pick Muno.

I mean, I get that you want to get everybody a chance and all, but... let's keep the heat on.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

Maybe look at a scouting report before going up against the fireballers, and, like, bunt/shorten the swings a bit?

[Zvon]

We didn't let A-Rod get 660, so I'm happy with that.

[Edgy MD]

Extra inning thriller in Baltimore ends with the police commissioner asking fans not to leave the park, due to concerns about civil unrest in the area.

[metirish]

Very sloppy in the field......hate to see that, didn't help ourselves.....and wow, this ESPN booth are bloody awful.

Speaking of which, nobody in the stands seemed too excited about that possibility, I noticed.

Look at Dan Napolean,
and you might notice,
His last name's a first name
Just like Amos Otis,
Like Ed Charles,
Frank Thomas,
Charley Neal,
and Kevin Mitchell,
but not Rod Kanehl

[Edgy MD]

Thinking back to last night, maybe Terry needs to re-consider the strategy he suggested back during the spring that he might use: start Tejada when Niese is throwing.

[Guest d'Kong76]

I never thought about it, I have two first names.
