IGT Fri 9/25 @ Reds: Could be 2, could be 1?

[Fman99]

They look like world beaters tonight. The Reds are helping. Nats down 8-2 to the Phightin Phils.

[Edgy MD]

So, when they pull the 'Gaard, which they presumably will, do they go to somebody who needs the work, like O'Flaherty or Parnell, or do they feel an obligation to go with somebody more likely to preserve the shutout?

Lookie that. He's holding a Synderbat and wearing a Synderhelmet in the dugout. He intends to bat.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Very encouraging perfawmence from Duder.

[Guest d'Kong76]

FWOW!!

We have a battle to see who's going to be the 2015 Mets home run leader.

[Guest Rockin' Doc]

Granderson having a big night. Hopefully, he has shaken his slump.

It appears the change of scenery has does the Mets hitters a world of good.

[Edgy MD]

Uh, Juan. Get better. Chest pain is scary.

[Guest Rockin' Doc]

I'm following the game online so I can't actually see the game. Does it appear possible that Uribe's chest pain is related to his diving stop at second base a few nights ago? He appeared to hurt his chest with his diving faceplant and subsequently came out of the game following the inning.

[Fman99]

It does. He tightened up on a check swing.

[Guest d'Kong76]

They shoot fireworks for a 12-1 homer in Cincy.

[Piggiestomatoes]

He wasn't going to pitch the 9th. Why put him out in the 8th?

[Edgy MD]

To get him to 100 pitches, I imagine.

[Frayed Knot]

When I turned on the game yesterday (Thurs) I was shocked to discover that Jason Bourgeois was black.
Then I realized I was conflating him with Angel turned Cardinal* Peter Bourjos





* as opposed to Pope Francis who many this week seem to be saying is a Cardinal turned Angel

[Piggiestomatoes]

Stretching him out for the playoffs? lol

[Guest Mets � Willets Point]

Crap, the lead isn't big enough for O'Flaherty!

[Fman99]

This just in: Eric O'Flaherty, bad at baseball.

Absolutely a re-aggravation of the same injury.

[Frayed Knot]

If a batter extends his on-base streak vs Eric O'Flaherty, does it still count in the record books?

[Guest Rockin' Doc]

I never thought I would be happy to see O'Flaherty pitching in a game, but if ever there was a time to get him some work while resting more valuable arms this is it. I feel pretty confident that this game is O'Flaherty proof.

Votto be pretty good too.

[Piggiestomatoes]

They should have O'Flaherty throw BP. Big confidence boost for the hitters.

[Guest d'Kong76]

Parnell, kill buzz. Shave that thang!!

[Fman99]

This just in: Bobby Parnell, equally bad at baseball.

[Piggiestomatoes]

Three more hitters for a save situation.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

On the plus side, though, the beard's resplendent.

Third out, finalmente.
