This is a tough one as far as rooting goes.

[Benjamin Grimm]

I'm rooting for Pittsburgh.

YAY! Pirates!

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

I can barely remember Matt Morris

[Gwreck]

I think from a self-interest perspective, we root for the Cubs in this game. Better potential NLCS matchup for the Mets than the Pirates.

[Lefty Specialist]

Sandy Koufax with a 10 WAR.


Um, wow.

[Edgy MD]

So, this Kyle Scwarber character is a player, huh?

[HahnSolo]

Ripken seems so out of touch with the modern game.

Now I hope the Nationals hire him.

[A Boy Named Seo]

Jeez, name another guy who went from career mediocrity to something like this goddamn monster I'm watching on the mound right now. Even our own RA Dickey wasn't as untouchable as Arrieta's been.

Yeah that's a good one, even though he was a dirty cheat.

lol

[Zvon]

eww, that plate is getting plenty wide.

[A Boy Named Seo]

Yikes, strike zone continues to bloat. That home plate ump wants to be there as badly as Keith during extra innings.

[Frayed Knot]

Stop booing Pirates fans, you need the baserunners.

They wanted Arrieta tossed. lol.

[Zvon]

Cubs say IN YOUR FACE HOME CROWD!!!!

[A Boy Named Seo]

Huge DP, man. Pretty good game.

[Frayed Knot]

BAM!
That was probably their last best chance. Pirates didn't have to tie it up just then but they needed something.

[A Boy Named Seo]

Sean Rodriguez :: Criss Angel :: Dave Navarro

I bet he wears those fancy man jeans with sequins on the back pockets.

[Zvon]

If that was intentional, it was perfect. Warnings have been issued. Benches empty. Some squabbling going on. Settles down.

And Arreita steals 2nd! haha.

[Edgy MD]

The implication is that the strategy will be mostly futile, considering they were expecting Arrieta to go at least six.

[A Boy Named Seo]

Even the authors of that lame instruction sheet knew he was going to throw a complete game.

[A Boy Named Seo]

Looking at the mlb box score and the first line below the pitcher's stats reads:

Game scores: Arietta 82, Cole 42

WTF is this?
