Very nicely done on the game thread. This is how a game thread should start out. I like the ERA's and team W-L records. It's called going the extra mile - and I for one like it. Now let's go out there and get a win!

Except that you should have started the game thread, as you started last night's.

It's on Kingpin if we lose.

[Symbolic47]

Ahhhh why do people keep breaking the unwritten game thread rules?

Yup

LOL Matt riding pine again. Thats what you get for being an idiot and costing your team a game.

1B Matt LaPorta out with a sore left foot (hit by pitch on Friday night). He's available off bench. Hopes to be recovered by Tuesday.

Haha. That smells fishy to me. He was able to finish the game Friday, and made a boneheaded play to lose to game for us. That night Acta was obviously not happy with him and his uhhhhhh "throw" to home. Maybe it really is the foot, who knows. But I dont miss him in the lineup.

[British_Pharaoh]

Must win this game. Tigers lost so being 3 games back with the vile bastards coming into town would be agreeable. I wouldn't mind sweeping the vermin either.

Can we get this written down somewhere?! Please...

[NH Tribe Fan]

Stuck with the Red Sox game.

Um, it's been written down in just about every game thread for the past month because people keeping breaking the rules.

[motherscratcher]

Has the whole world gone crazy?!

[andrew6586]

Does Santana realize that he's not batting right handed anymore?

[motherscratcher]

Peralta took his piano to Detroit with him and he's still carrying that damn thing around.

[motherscratcher]

"pops it" to center, huh?

[British_Pharaoh]

Ball looks like it is carrying tonight

[Kingpin74]

Underwood is special.

"Chisenhall pops it to center"...about 400 feet to the warning track.

[peeker643]

He hit that off his front foot and off the end of the bat. The ball jumps in that joint for sure.

[Kingpin74]

They probably need to keep Duncan at this point. What's the move, DFA'ing Kearns or Hannahan?

[peeker643]

If they keep Duncan they can't let Hannahan go. Too valuable at corner spots defensively. It's not his full-time gig but he's the best defensive 1B they have as well.

[British_Pharaoh]

Brantley fucked up a good pitch to hit there. Got right under it.

[British_Pharaoh]

Know your 3B kid.

Stupid ass bunt. I hate bunting. It makes me want to punch a midget.

To be fair, there isn't much that doesn't make you want to punch a midget.

[Kingpin74]

Does anyone else enjoy the fact that Christopher Moltisanti, who was a self destructive alcoholic on The Sopranos, is now a pitchman for 1800 Tequila?

[skatingtripods]

Gotta DFA Kearns. All everybody talks about re: Duncan on Twitter/when he gets sent down is how great of a teammate he is. He's the most excited guy on every walk-off. He means a lot to this club. He has to stay. They need a PH RH bat and need his energy.

Yep, and Kearns would clear waivers and be back in 3 weeks anyway.

He's also Spider from Goodfellas. Now go get your fuckin' shinebox!

You're mixing up your references.

It was Billy Bats in the bar that told Pesci to go get his fuckin' shinebox.

Spider just told Pesci to go fuck himself (or something to that effect) after Pesci had shot him in the foot.

I would never punch a midget. But I do like to know where they are at all times. If I was in charge, they would all be tagged with micro GPS locators. If one gets too close, I send out the Midget Response Team.

I thought about starting a construction business that employs midgets only. I know they couldn't build much with their little sausage fingers, so i'd let people watch for $4 to supplement revenue.

[skatingtripods]

Exactly. And if someone claims him, you can get a PTBNL lottery ticket or some cash.

I'd settle for some Big League Chew and used VHS copy of Uncle Buck.

I know who said it. I just say it everytime somebody mentions Goodfellas. "What? it ain't like I never dug a whole before."

I only started it last night's thread since there wasn't one and i was unable to watch or listen since i am too stubborn(cheap) to get the mlb package. At least Kingpin started it the right way. On the other hand, you are right it is on him if we lose.
We are up 1-0 bottom of the 4th, so let's hope that holds up and let's kingpin off the hook - Dennis Green style. insert youtube video here...

They also put on a helluva live show if you ever get the chance to see 'em.

This Josh Tomlin fellow is quite useful

[British_Pharaoh]

Boom Brantley

[FortheWin]

MICHAEL BRANTLEY!

[andrew6586]

Wow, Hamilton, could you have made that catch look more awkward?

[Kingpin74]

I have no idea what the bullpen's gonna do but this may have been the start of the year by Tomlin. Absolutely huge.
