So......that was a fairly good start.

[Piggiestomatoes]

Four runs and once through the line-up. Nice start!

LEAVE OUR MIDDLE INFIELDERS ALONE

[Guest Rockin' Doc]

Duda quick as a cat to snag a hard grounder down the line. No hit for you!

[Piggiestomatoes]

Matz is pounding the zone. No shitting around here.

2 probably.

What an ass-rape we're giving these guys. I mean, wow.

Matz with a stress-free first. Nice.

[Guest Rockin' Doc]

The first inning couldn't have been much better. Offense is abusing Hammels and meanwhile Matz looking sharp with a 1-2-3 inning.

That goy from Long Island is pretty good. (Good thing he didn't go to his local state university!)

[Frayed Knot]

I have no explanation for it but I totally smelled that Duda HR coming, even to the point where I was happy to see Cespedes walk because I wanted to get Lucas to the plate.



Hey Batty!

[Batty31]

Hey Frayed!

Good to see some familiar faces

Wait, you mean he's not Jewish?!?!?!


Matz actually had a scholarship to Coastal Carolina University that he was going to use if the negotiations with the Mets didn't work out (and they went down to the wire).
Clearly the admissions team for the university he grew up practically down the street from were asleep on the job.

Maddon not screwing around with the quick hook. Next.

Nobody's gonna believe me, but I had a similar feeling. Prolly cos Cal was pimping the "improvement in his stroke" so hard.

[Guest Rockin' Doc]

Fresh meat for Murphy.

Ouch.

Cal Ripken is very wise.

When your starter faces 11 hitters and retires just four of them in an elimination game, you can't blame the guy for a quick hook.

[Lefty Specialist]

Murphy only hits a single. WHAT'S WRONG???????????

[Edgy MD]

God, Travis Wood needs to be in a wax museum exhibit of relief pitcher archetypes.

Stop using that emoticon! It reminds me of the WS code you got from T7L.
