TWi(NL-WC)B Notes: This Week in (NL-WC) Baseball

[Edgy MD]

I'm hoping this means 10 more innings before they ultimately lose.

[Edgy MD]

Washington goes to Matt Grace, pitcher #9 (turn me on, dead man), and Ender Inciarte leads off with a single.

[Edgy MD]

And with two out and a runner on first, and Matt Kemp coming up, Washington looks to pitcher #10, Mat Latos.

[Zvon]

Nats walk it off. Well, one step at a time. Lets get the Giants.

[Centerfield]

Thank you Pittsburgh. You may now resume your sucking ways.

Milwaukee. Your services are required.

[Benjamin Grimm]

This is us, for the next few days:

[Benjamin Grimm]

Brewers lead Cardinals 5-1 in the fourth.

[Benjamin Grimm]

Okay, now it's 5-3. Phillies lead Washington 4-0 after 6.

[dinosaur jesus]

Harvey's Wallbangers are piling it on. A two-run homer by Gorman Thomas and a two-run double by Jim Gantner make it 8-3 Brewers in the 6th.

Phils still up 4-0, but the Nats are threatening in the 8th.

[Lefty Specialist]

Grand slam by Rob Deer puts the Brew Crew up 12-3 in the 6th. The Wild Card awaits us.

[Zvon]

Hey Harper,



4-1 Phils

[Guest Mets Guy in Michigan]

Brewers sure are having a nice game.

[Zvon]

Phils win Yay!

The Yankees have pulled within two of the Wild Card themselves.

WC opponent skeds for this weekend:

- Saint Louie continues their four-gamer with Milwaukee under the big arch.
Nice butt-kicking by the Brews to start things off but you get the feeling they probably shot their load and would have been better saving a couple of those runs.


- Giants head to the desert for the first of three games.
They're 10-6 vs the Snakes this year but 13-21 overall since Aug 1 and probably wishes Phoenix was still their old AAA affiliate


- Pirates (now 4 full games behind us) hosting Reds for the 2nd of their four-game series
Pitt won the opener Thursday


- Marlins host the Dodgers just in time for the return from the DL of Clayton Kershaw ... mmmm, lucky them





And, just for kicks, Washington takes their 8 game division lead against the Phils after being held to just five hits in a loss on Thursday
but at five games out after losing 10 of 12, they're basically on the fringes of things anyway at this point

[Lefty Specialist]

This is us, for the next few days:

I've always wanted to wear a keg on my head. Saves time.

Pretty weak competition all around. This is probably going to be a "try to hold serve" type of weekend. Gotta take care of business and hope that someone stumbles.

[Lefty Specialist]

Braves are playing better lately. They better buckle down.

[Benjamin Grimm]

Brewers got one run in the top of the first in St. Louis.

[Zvon]

Giants tied it in the 6th. 4-4.

[Zvon]

kaBOOM from Pagan. Figures. 5-4 SF

[Zvon]

Doosh-Backs tie it in the 7th. 5-5, 8th.

[Zvon]

Hunter Pence just made a freakin awesome catch. Fantastic catch. Clutch.

Still 5-5, bot 9th

[Zvon]

Bases full of Giants, no out, top of the 10th.
It don't look good.

[Zvon]

Ugh. I don't believe they are going to review this.

They got the force at home, 1 out.

[Zvon]

WP. Pence scores.

[Zvon]

Snakes go kaBOOM in the bottom of the 10 and tie it! Holy schmoly!

[Zvon]

What? Do they think I got all night?
I'm about tuckered out.

6-6 in the 11th.
Lets go D Backs!!!!!
