    I just hope we don't have to start calling him Ripped Anterior (cruciate) Dickey

He had stopped at 2nd but a sloppy relay sent him to third (where he should have been out - stupid chance actually) but then that throw got away and he pranced home. E on RF for the first throw, E on 2B for the second one A classic "little league HR".

    Looks like the Marlins also won in extras while most of us were examining the insides of our eyelids. Giants scored 4 in the 9th to tie the game 6-6, only to go on and lose in 12 (thanx G. Mota). So of the 5 games involving NL East teams yesterday only one went regulation innings as the Braves, Fish & Phils all won in extras while the Mets took the shorter route to victory. Nats lost to Milwaukee in standard fashion. That's six straight wins for the slow-starting but suddenly-hot 2nd place Brew Crew and seven losses in eight games for the last place and sinking Nati'nals.

    After loading the bases but failing to score in the 11th (which is where I checked out) the Reds only got one hit for the remainder of the game - a 2-out single in the 15th. Also managed one walk and a HBP (Valdez's only base-runner allowed). Not that the Phils did much better (2 singles and a double between inning 12 & 18) until finally scoring in the 19th on a single, walk, bunt, IW, and Sac Fly Phils were going to re-activate Jose Contreras off the DL for today's game anyway so that'll give them an extra arm both for today's Day game and for our series.

    JC Romero in for the 11th hits a batter and walks three straight ... but Cincy still hasn't scored yet because Brandon Phillips gets picked off of 2nd in the middle of that whole thing. Bases loaded, 2 outs ... Philly changing pitchers. Herndon in to face Ramon Hernandez

    And Ryan Howard returns the favor leading off bottom 10

    Philly loads the bases in the bottom of the 9th w/one out ... but then fails to score (Domonic Brown - pop out; Polanco - hard ground out) and it's on to the 10th.

    To further complicate things, the only part of the rule they changed recently is that if a 5-plus inning game is tied when the rains come and they can't resume, they will resume it at another date [u:3o7acddu]from that point[/u:3o7acddu]. In the old days (like until two years ago) they would simply wipe out that game and replay the thing in its entirety.

    The only way your scenario would affect things would be if the Mets took the lead in the top of the 6th -- THEN the Cubs would need to bat. But if the rains came in mid-inning with the Mets already ahead then the inning wouldn't count but, so what, the Mets would win anyway due to the Cubs having their five whacks at it.

    In other NL East news: - Phils tied up with the Reds heading for the 9th. Cincy out-hitting Philly (and Halladay) 12-6 but had to play catch-up just to get it here. - Nats lose again to the Brews - Atlanta got a 2R HR from Brooks Conrad (sounds like the guy who squandered your 401K) in the 11th to beat Pittsburgh. Pirates loaded the bases in the home 9th with one out but hit into a GiDP - Marlins are in San Fran

    OK, we need three quick ones here Dillon.
  18. Frayed Knot
    I'll trade outs for runs at this point. Dang, I thought we were going to have another one there.

    Jose Reyes -- All-time NYM runs scored leader. If Gary mentioned this on the telecast I missed it.
  20. Frayed Knot
    Two keys there: - scoreless inning - QUICK inning Now we just need three more of those before le deluge.
  21. Frayed Knot
    I think the Cubs are now just in stall mode. They're going to keep bringing in lousy pitchers until the rains come.

    Ball 12 !!!!

    Once upon a time teams that wanted to see their guys in the ASG had enough class to limit their actions to subtle encouragement - and even then such stuff was seen as a sign of small-town hucksterism. MLB should be embarrassed that now virtually every team engages in a some kind of blatant rooting that often falls just shy of handing out pre-punched ballots at their stadiums next to a neon path of arrows on the floor directing fans as to where to drop them.
