Let's go all doobie wah on Los Bravos!

[ashie62]

Must win.

[Chad ochoseis]

Bases loaded, one out. For the first five months of this season, this was a situation to be dreaded. Now, I'm feeling pretty good about getting a run or two in here. C�spedes up.

Or maybe four.

Yeonis Cespedes, American hero. From Cuba.

[Frayed Knot]

Atlanta pitcher Williams Perez is the rare pitcher who has his entire pitching arm tattooed while his throwing arm remains bare.
Not sure if that odd choice is what led to either the Grand Slam (speaking of things tattooed!) or his removal from the game, but his choice of body art is the opposite of how most hurlers are doing things these days.

[Frayed Knot]

And, btw, Cespedes with more RBIs in today's two ABs than d'Arnaud has in nearly two months.

[Benjamin Grimm]

Take THAT, Ripper Collins!

I know this is late, but

[Benjamin Grimm]

If I had a million guesses, I couldn't have told you that the Braves' manager was a guy named "Snitker." I suppose I missed (or forgot) the story of Freddi Gonzalez' departure.

[Zvon]

Recker isn't as good looking in a Braves uni.

[Guest Rockin' Doc]

Hey, someone tell the offense to take it easy. Don't burn themselves out in a single game. Hell, put Bruce in there. Maybe even he can get a hit or two today.

When I see the name I auto-see Stinker for some reason.

I apologize if Gary has said this, I have the sound off, but this might be a good time to give Cespedes, Granderson, Reyes and Cabrera a few innings off.

In reaction to the managerial change back in May, we spent most of the time on Page two of this thread making jokes about Fredi's name that we barely got around to making fun of Snitker's aside from JCL's quip that 'Snitker Satisfies'.

I was thinking the same thing, specifically about Cespedes and Cabrera.

[Guest Mets Guy in Michigan]

Rest those guys!

Liking this game so far.

[Guest d'Kong76]

Friggin' Cardinals tie up their game in the bottom of the 8th 1-1.

Brew Crew prevails though on a Braun HR in the 9th... Mets back 'in'...

[ashie62]

Yeah! It continues.

[Zvon]

We needed one a these.

[G-Fafif]

Diamondbacks are selectively useless. Nevertheless, keep winning series, things will take care of themselves.
