****ing crazy!

Loretta gets credit, but most of it goes to Carmona. :lol

 

[_Angelus_]

Wagner pitches better when he adds offspeed stuff to the batter. He should add it abit more in this inning.

And he just did it with an offspeed slider,yeah baby.

2 OUTS.

 

[Link]

I'd agree, Wagner relies way too much on the fastball.

EDIT - Haha, Marlins using their pitchers for pinch runners.

 

[Dr. Strangelove]

****ing crazy!

Carmona is REVERSE CLUTCH. Dude has some serious meltdowns when the situation gets tight. He's like Byung-Hyun Kim.

 

[_Angelus_]

That pitch was a strike,damnit.

 

[Y2Kev]

Oh, unannounced trade from the deadline!

Red Sox acquire Indians manager Eric Wedge :lol

 

[Tamanon]

Bottom 9th

- F. Carmona relieved R. Betancourt
- W. Pena struck out swinging (good!)
- C. Crisp struck out swinging (good!)
- D. Mirabelli hit by pitch (eh)
- G. Kapler ran for D. Mirabelli
- A. Gonzalez hit by pitch, G. Kapler to second (que?)
- K. Youkilis walked, G. Kapler to third, A. Gonzalez to second (Hey now....this is looking bad)
- M. Loretta doubled to left, G. Kapler and A. Gonzalez scored, K. Youkilis to third (I am Jack's Complete Lack of Surprise)

 

[Link]

Phew!!

Man, I'm totally losing years off my life with these games, haha.

 

[_Angelus_]

Thats for even thinking about trying to sneak another win on us Florida.

 

[CajoleJuice]

Thank ****ing God.

I'll be at the game tomorrow, so you'll have to cheer on the Mets here without me, boys.

 

[Tamanon]

Gotta love the ESPN announcers.

"Pujols has the ability like Big Papi to almost hit a home run on command."

Grounded into easy double play.

 

[Dr. Strangelove]

Utley update: 0-4 in the top of the 8th

I just saw this on ESPN. If I was an Indian fan, I would cry.

Utley update: 0-4 in the top of the 8th

Looks like he'll get one more chance.

 

[Y2Kev]

Good win for the Sox...I won't detract from their win.

But Eric Wedge may be the worst manager in MLB.

 

[Tamanon]

:lol :lol :lol Cards implosion.

 

[_Angelus_]

I'll be at the game tomorrow, so you'll have to cheer on the Mets here without me, boys.

Damn thats awesome,wish I could check out Shea but I'm a billion miles away out here in California. Have a good one at the game,hope they make it a hell of a win tomorrow.

 

[Dr. Strangelove]

Last chance for Utley.

Looks like an infield single...

Base hit! 34 games.

 

[Meier]

Here's his (likely) last chance. Good luck Chase.

 

[_Angelus_]

That had better be a hit for Utley.

Hope so anyways.

Edit,good call.

 

[Tamanon]

I think they gave him that hit there.:lol

 

[vatstep]

Ha, he got a bit lucky.

 

[Link]

Did anyone else think Flores kinda held onto that ball a little longer than he had to?

 

[Dr. Strangelove]

Uh oh, they might not rule it a hit...

 

[_Angelus_]

Now they've removed it...come on.

 

[Tamanon]

Did anyone else think Flores kinda held onto that ball a little longer than he had to?

That's what I was insinuating. It was almost Favresque as far as helping another player out

 

[Meier]

Damn, that's too bad.

 

[Dr. Strangelove]

They gave it to him. It's officially a hit.

 

[Link]

That's what I was insinuating. It was almost Favresque as far as helping another player out

Ah, sorry, thought you were talking about the scorers.

Who seem like they just changed the call. That sucks.

EDIT - And they changed it back now. Good on him.

 

[Y2Kev]

They gave it to him. It's officially a hit.

I didn't see it...was it a real hit or some kind of home (away?) cooking?

 

[Fifty]

They gave it to him. It's officially a hit.

Yahoo has him 0-5 as a fielder's choice.


edit: Nevermind, the official scorer changed it....I'm glad you're right. I bet the Philly media had a knife to the official scorer's throat :lol

 

[Miguel]

 

[Dr. Strangelove]

I didn't see it...was it a real hit or some kind of home (away?) cooking?

It was very borderline. I tend to agree with Tamanon and vatstep here.

 

[Tamanon]

This Phillies/Cards game is one of the best shows of fielding I've ever seen.

 

[Wellington]

That's what I was insinuating. It was almost Favresque as far as helping another player out

I don't know what you are talking about.

I, for one, hope Chase doesn't make it.

 

[Dr. Strangelove]

I, for one, hope Chase doesn't make it.

GEE I WONDER WHY :lol

 

[Tamanon]

I don't know what you are talking about.

I, for one, hope Chase doesn't make it.

*whistle*

Even now on the replay, not only did you have the extra time on the throw, you also have Pujols purposely off the bag in case the throw goes too fast.....definitely shady and kinda weakens the hit streak IMO.

 

[Wellington]

GEE I WONDER WHY :lol

Referring to the earlier conversation about closers, Wagner wouldn't even be top 3.

Papelbon, Mo, BJ Ryan in that order (this season). After that, Nathan, K-Rod, Wagner. Shit, not even top 5. Actually I may be inclined to flip K-Rod and Wagner based on ERA.

Regardless, Mo is the best in history, but Paps is just lights out this season.

Tamanon: LIES

 

[Miguel]

:lol

Utley gets a 6th at bat in the 9th inning, 2 for 6 now. :lol

 

[R_GILL]

Meh he just hit another single so I guess that is that.

 

[R_GILL]

I hope Phillys bullpen blows this lead, but its going to be very hard with a 8 run cushion.

nm it seems that St Louis just wanted to end the pain and end it fast.

 

[Desperado]

BGO <3
Lambo <3

 

[Meier]

That's wild that Cecil Fielder and Tony Gwynn would end up having a kid that played on the same team in the majors. Cool shit (and weird).

 

[Joe]

WHAT THE **** ERIC WEDGE

 

[Miguel]

:lol @ ARod

Too bad he wasn't tagged out.

 

[Dr. Strangelove]

WHAT THE **** ERIC WEDGE

Who are you to doubt Eric Wedge's magnificent managerial skills?

Staying with your closer after two HBP and a walk is a bold move that only genius managers make!

 

[Y2Kev]

Eminem, where is the "eric wedge is a shitty manager" pic?

And to think he almost (did he?) win manager of the year last year.

 

[Mashing]

Atta' boy Bidge! 2 home runs B-G-O.

 

[Desperado]

Bidge again!
