[And That]

Walking Pie to force Pinella's hand and lift Dempster. That's smart baseball right there.

[rluzinski]

Yeh, this McClung guy obviously has his control under.. err control.

[adambr2]

"Seth, don't give up a 3-run homer to this guy. Thanks."

I would have to imagine that hitting 3 3-run homers off 3 different pitchers in the same night has never been done before, but who knows.

"Seth, don't give up a 3-run homer to this guy. Thanks."

I would have to imagine that hitting 3 3-run homers off 3 different pitchers in the same night has never been done before, but who knows.

 

And if it has been done, I can virtually guarantee it happened against the brewers.

[pitchleague]

nice strike three call there. I thought he was going to turn into the Hulk.

[And That]

What if Rickie Weeks passed the Mendoza Line and no one was paying attention?

[HurricaneBraun]

Did I miss something, why is Braun not hitting?

[dlk9s]

Forget the SI cover curse, we've got the "nationally televised" curse

We won the first game of the season, which was nationally televised.

 

 

Just one of those games, folks. Just one of those games.

 

[And That]

He was traded for a case of Budweiser Chelada and for his lack of NASCAR knowledge.

[mastershake76]

I hope that this latest power outage is just a result of the fact that this game was over before it started. YoGo should give us a reasonable chance to win tomorrow, provided we can provide more than 5 stinking hits.

[chowyo123]

Woot! A Mcclung at bat. How fun!

[adambr2]

Well, couple of grand slams and we're right back in this.

[adambr2]

Did I miss something, why is Braun not hitting?

 

He was having a hot night, knocked in 3 runs with a single and a double, so naturally, Yost pulled him in the middle of the game.

[And That]

This McClung-Johnson AB is some of the hardest, most gritty battling I've ever witnessed from a pitcher and a hitter.

[adambr2]

I wonder what the statistical odds are of us scoring 8 runs next inning.

[And That]

Precisely the same odds as the team has of not being Yosted out of one more game for the rest of the season.

From the kinda funny Bill Engvall---Hey Suppan, here's your sign

[adambr2]

Gabe Kapler, meet Earth. Earth, Kapler.

[tristarscoop]

Why does the Hairy Canadian sound like he's got a mix between a Yupper and a Southern accent?

[futurefan]

Anyone else starting to think that the players are confused about their roles on this team with our idiot manager. Get 3 hits after a cold month and you get to sit. Find yourself throwing batting practice and you are left in for 4 innings. Now lets give up this game and hope for a better game on Thur. I would never let my little league team give up just because things were going badly. I hope the problem with this team is not coaching cancer because I do not believe changes will be made this year and we actually could contend this year.

Turnbow with a K

[lukevan]

I'm glad that our manager doesn't use our best reliever with an 8-run lead.

[bbaehman]

Turnbow with a BB!

[bbaehman]

Turnbow allows a hit!
