[SeriesFinale]

I'm really watching these NL West games closely now...man I hope that is wrapped up before the start of next weekend. Fat chance though. What a dogfight that Padres series could be--that's basically the playoffs right there, even if the Crew end up not making the real ones.

[pitchleague]

hit for Encarnacion, bases drunk, one out!

 

ugh, Votto can't do anything with it

[Oldcity]

Let's go Votto!

 

Edit: Boo...

[JrDave2304]

come on Valentin. become a Cubs killer! follow what Johnny did tonight

[thablingster]

Javier, I demand you bring Cubs fans the same pain you've brought us on three(!!) separate occasions this year.

[Vgmastr]

Wood walks in a run. 5-2 Reds.

[pitchleague]

yes!

 

Bring on Weathers! Oh, wait. . . .

[JrDave2304]

ha! Kerry Wood walks in a run. i love it!!

[thablingster]

yes!

 

Bring on Weathers! Oh, wait. . . .

My vote is Todd Coffey (I'm only half serious, lol).

 

[Oldcity]

Well they didn't put the game out of reach, but that third run is huge. I'll take it.

 

Hopefully Harang goes one more inning.

[JrDave2304]

i hope the result of this game doesn't make me wanna start singing that line from "Build Me Up Buttercup"....

 

there's only one man who can make me sing that, and he happens to have the same first name as i do.

[pitchleague]

Harang was pinch hit for with Cantu. he's done.

 

Jared Burton is in.

[dlk9s]

What's good is that Cincy got Theriot to end the 7th, so now Lee and Ramirez come up in the 8th with the ability to do minimal damage.

 

Then again, they'll probably both get on base and then Murton or DeRosa will jack one.

[thablingster]

If the Cubs come back again tonight I call shenanigans, lol.

[pitchleague]

dlk9s, don't SAY stuff like that!

[jlau20]

With any luck, David Weathers stopped at an Arby's on the way to the game and lost track of time.

[Vgmastr]

Burton goes 1-2-3 through Lee, Ramirez, and Murton. Hopefully the Reds score a run in the 9th so Mackanin doesn't have the urge to use Weathers.

[thablingster]

My vote is they let Burton pitch the 9th, too. LOL

[pitchleague]

Nice job by Burton to get the "meat" of the lineup. Now need another quick inning so the top of the order doesn't get up.

[dlk9s]

I'd rather see Tom Seaver come back to pitch the 9th than Weathers.

[TerraceReserved]

I'd rather see Tom Seaver come back to pitch the 9th than Weathers.

 

I'd rather see Grant Balfour pitch the ninth. I hate to say it, but I'm really nervous about the cubs in the ninth tonight. Again.

[SeriesFinale]

OK, officially switching to the Cubs/Reds and man am I nervous

[pitchleague]

I can't switch as I'm tivoing The Office, so I'm stuck with Gameday for that game

[bacon06]

There has been a David Weathers sighting. Someone alert the National Guard.....

[SeriesFinale]

Oh Gaaaaaaahhhhd
