Who'd they execute?!?! Tell me it was Brantley??!!??

Aww... you meant fundamental baseball.

Got my hopes up...

Tripods, I know I'm late to the party in commenting on your avatar, but that's by far the funniest thing I've ever seen on this site. I cracked up for a good five minutes after seeing it. Wife thought I was insane. (Which I am, but that's not the point.)

CK actually beginning to contribute to the team other than with his defense

by **TouchEmAllTime** » Mon May 14, 2012 10:14 pm

Nice, even a bum can turn on a batting practice fast ball, or bums plural if you count the Lopez double.

by **skatingtripods** » Mon May 14, 2012 10:16 pm

Loved the pose from Casey.

How awful must Pavano be is Lopez and Kothman are getting extra base hits? Nice knocks though.

A man with that kind of cookie duster feels no shame.

He was probably genuinely stunned.

I know I was.

Gracias.

If he gets over .275 at any point, I'll perform an exorcism on my avatar.

Yep. All I heard was the voice of Rube Baker in Major League 2 going "Oh My God!" when he hit a HR in Game 3 of the ALCS v. the White Sox.

by **skatingtripods** » Mon May 14, 2012 10:33 pm

Santana going to LF for a sac fly and hitting a hard ground ball up the middle. Starting to stay on the ball better. Might be time for him to go on a little streak here.

by **drum** » Mon May 14, 2012 11:00 pm

I recommend going back and getting MLB Audio to listen to Hammy here in the bottom of the 7th. Hilarious.
He's talking Choo, Canker sores, and prom dates

by **skatingtripods** » Mon May 14, 2012 11:07 pm

In case you're wondering, and I'm sure you're not, the Rays just signed Ryan Garko to a minor league deal.

by **bookelly** » Mon May 14, 2012 11:13 pm

Boy do we hit well with the bases loaded.

by **Cerebral_DownTime** » Mon May 14, 2012 11:14 pm

The tv picture has been awful for the game. Not sure if anyone else is seeing it too. Very pixely.

Pestano's consecutive appearances with a K streak snapped.

by **bookelly** » Mon May 14, 2012 11:25 pm

Pestano scuffling. The Hag might be taking over hold duties soon.

by **skatingtripods** » Mon May 14, 2012 11:28 pm

Well, fuck.

by **bookelly** » Mon May 14, 2012 11:28 pm

That sucked.

by **TouchEmAllTime** » Mon May 14, 2012 11:29 pm

I was just thinking that from all the Pirate games I watched, it seemed all of Doumit's jacks were from the left side, unbelievable.

Or not.

How bad is Estabrook's strike zone? Seems like Hammy keeps thinking the call should have gone the other way.

by **googleeph2** » Mon May 14, 2012 11:30 pm

Oh crap. All the damage with 2 out.

by **drum** » Mon May 14, 2012 11:30 pm

I'm surprised Acta didn't bring Gomez back for a batter or two since he wasn't to 100 pitches against this lineup yet.

Honestly most of the balls have looked outside to me, It's not like CB Bucknor is behind the plate

That ball was so crushed.

Cerebral_DownTime wrote:That ball was so crushed.

It was right down the middle.

by **skatingtripods** » Mon May 14, 2012 11:35 pm

Passed ball + throwing error + botched pick at 2B on SB = 3 runs.

Offense leaves no margin for error again.

Gotta get out of this inning at 4-4 and squeeze one out against Capps.

That HR was so massive it fixed the picture on my TV.

Well, right. I was just saying it was literally down the middle. Doesn't have to be down the middle to be crushed.

GODDAMN JAMEY CARROL!

Make Cunningham take 2. He blows.

by **Cerebral_DownTime** » Mon May 14, 2012 11:46 pm

There we go. 'Bout time Choo did something besides piss me off.

by **skatingtripods** » Mon May 14, 2012 11:46 pm

We REALLY need this one from CP now.

Target Field's a house of horrors for Perez. 5 appearances, 8.44 ERA.

by **Am I Here Again?** » Mon May 14, 2012 11:50 pm

One thing that ticks me off about baseball is that Hag stands to win this if CP can get the save. WHY should he (not personally, but the pitcher who is supposed to hold then doesn't) get credit for a win? He wouldn't be in position to win if he hadn't blow the damn thing to begin with!

I amaze myself...the two key offensive performers of the game!! (and Choo did get hit by a pitch as well!)

Yeah, but I'm not numerically gifted enough to comprehend SABRmetrics. I'm challenged enough to keep the checkbook balanced.
