Open Thread 6/18: Braves vs. Braves Rejects...I Mean Royals #2

Good game so far. The bottom of the lineup is killing it. Melky and DLowe are a combined 3-for-3 with 3 RBI.

Braves lead 5-2 heading into the 6th.

Auto Win thread now active

Wha just happened to my TV?

Praise Kelly Johnson, we get a new thread

this is the coasting thread
No homerz no homerz no homerz.
ChewLoweca whiffs another one
lowe

pounding it low and away….zing!

Raw Dog references

+1

I wish they knew the meaning of that phrase

It’s kinda like when everyone was saying “Skeet Skeet”

surely

Joe knows

Lowe

dealing

as he has been for the better part of the last month or so
Jesus who fixed Ryan Howard?! 2 HR 3-3 3RBIs

I’d say Heyward but Howard hasnt struck out tonight

Glaus > Howard

my post says so!

phillies

gave howard another 125M

Just so long as it wasn’t us.

For Bronn

I aint’ your Carlyle

…Anthony Lerew

Whatever happened to Buddy Carlyle? Did we sell him to Japan or something?

traded him for

KK translator

Bobby also got a box of cigars in the deal.
sounds

like a win

Actually...

He is in Japan right now. DING DING DING

I ain’t your Anthony Lerew

Harmon Killebrew. (rhymes!)

Ridiculous meter is registering.
You don't f*ck with De-jesus
two strike HBP

NEAT

CHARGE THE MOUND DEJESUS
oh, Lowe.

(it rhymes, and makes my point.)

lol praydo…nice try I guess

i like how

Prado makes a weak throw

at least he didn’t try that jump throw that never works for him

This is surprising, but....

quite a few of the Royals fans over on their sbn site are douchebags. Most of the time I like fans of shitty teams because they’re funny and know it’s a long season….but they act like the Braves are scum or something.

They’ve had top-10 draft picks for like 10 years now and they still suck.

Royals are pathetic

With all of the ex-Braves on roster, they should be Braves fans by proxy.

they're jaded from so much failure

their souls are broken. orioles fans still have a little hope left.

you’d expect just constant self deprecating humor

probably because

august in kansas city is hotter than two rats f***ing in a wool sock

it’s certainly no Arizona, but it’s humid as hell. Probably the most humid city i’ve ever been to.

Nice ballpark though.

Oooh, Can I play?

camel Sex in a sleeping bag

and i was just about to stop touching myself...

all of these are going right in the spank bank

They're bitter because it turns out that Dayton Moore is an idiot.
Hey Ultima....

We looked for you on the TV last night… I never saw you or your sign.
But… I hear Sutton did and loved it enough to mention it more than once on the radio.

I’d post a scores update, but basically nothing has changed since the last one. Washington is in the ninth with the CWS – still 1-1.

Robinson Cano in the middle of a 9 minute AB....
you're joking, eh?

Lol

and he walks. bases loaded, 2 outs for Posada

Go Yan....

Sorry I can’t say it.

Go

Yankees Yankees Yankees

I…just…can’t

walk

anti-climatic

What's anticlimactic

Is that it took 10 minutes and was only 8 pitches.

< 13 pitches / inning for Dlowe

doin’ work

Lowe is growing on me

kinda like Melky is….

you can those removed by laser surgery nowadays.

Why Yankees games are unwatchable

Mark Teixeira was up when the Braves were batting in the bottom of the fifth. It’s not the middle of the 6th, and the Yankees are still batting, and still haven’t scored a run either.

not = now
Bottom of the 6th started for Atlanta

We’ve done all this in the time it took three Yankees to bat.

I feels so sorry for Mrs. Drill.

Tool race being shown on Peachtree.

that was awesome lol
dammit

they were showing the tool race, missed the finish

the saw always wins
Drill had a huge lead but was slammed into the wall

bit was damaged!

OT: Strasburg Question

Am I the only one that thinks the Nats are being way too cautious in their handling of him? I get they don’t want to ruin him and yada yada but 85 pitches and they yank him? Seems like he could have at least gone one more. They plan on shutting him down early anyways, I don’t think 1 more inning would kill the guy.

2 words: Kerry Wood
this

We’ve all seen this story before.

He's on an innings limit....
You're probably right.

But why risk it? The Nats aren’t doing anything this year. Just let him get his feet wet and next year they can ramp him up.

Yeah, you all are right

I’m selfish as a fan and would like to see the guy go another. I get the pitches limit but think the IP limit is sort of silly. Hopefully they will be stretching him out a bit as he goes on. Kerry Wood seemed like he was always had some ridiculously high pitch count so it seems like the Kerry Wood effect is a bit exaggerated since they basically beat him to death which the Nationals obviously aren’t doing with Strasburg, it just seemed TOO careful IMO.

They have a limit on pitches he can throw this year

So they’re being overly cautious now so later in the season if he has a complete game going he can go that extra inning.

Also, Kerry Wood.

I think they're doing the right thing

Cant be too careful with your franchise player

They have

an IP and pitch count limit. The IP limit doesn’t really make sense. But hey, when you’ve got the greatest pitcher to ever walk the face of the planet, who can throw strikes that are a foot outside, you probably should protect him. Especially when you are still 5 games under 500 and 7 games out of first.

there's a theory on young pitchers and their risk of injury as it relates to IP

basically, young pitchers are much more likely to suffer an arm injury if they increase their workload over 20 or so IP from one year to the next

melky singles and d lowe goes yard!
Melky

3-3

meteor

RUNZ

MVP MVP MVP

3-3…we need a haters graphic for him….

Melky ate his Wheaties this morning. 3 for 3

The Ron Artest edition...lol
Please Please

get your bunt down!

MVP and CY YOUNG doin’ work at the plate tonight

.....

they don’t need no stinkin bunts!

now Joe

jinxes him

the milkman delivers again

I’m not sure I can handle that one

Uh....that's a no, Jareth (in Dr. Evil voice)

I’d like to try.

That pic never gets old to me

:)

i like to dust it off from time to time
OH GOD THERES A DIVOT
y'all must not have been here

the first 2 times i posted it.

Another "World Class" kickball player

who has zero goals in his world cup career. or maybe he has one. who cares.

MY EEEYESSS!!!one!!!!!
Take that to a game

and show it to Melky and see the horror on his face. LOL!

I just threw up all over my keyboard.

Finally that Yankees inning is over

We went from the bottom of the 5th to one batter into the bottom of the 6th in the time it took for the Yankees to end the Bottom of the 6th. And they didn’t even score.

Joe West just exploded
he took

Bill Hohn and Angel Hernandez with him

Praise Heyward!
nice job lowe
lowe

ONLY CAN BUNT IN HIGH LEVERAGE SITUATIONS

Lowe looks like he's gonna punch Joe Simpson.
Up to Prado to get Melky in...

we all know Heyward is ready to be blown away by a 87mph fastball.

Real recognize real DLowe

and you’re looking kinda unfamiliar right now

UPDATE

Howard a single short of the CYCLE

he’s no Melky Cabrera

He got a triple????

he got a triple? did the outfielder trip?

how did he get a triple?

did someone put a cheeseburger on 3b?

that's the hardest one

TWSS

you have more than one? weirdo…

jealousy will get you nowhere

That's right bitches

He tripled in the first inning.

2 Hr’s and just doubled

what about the melkman

looks like our lineup is fucking solid now

I'm not convinced
He's no Nate McLouth that's for sure
Steal Melky Steal
HEYWARD STRIKES OUT HERE
Prado

is a machine

Marteen the Dream

…our hitting machine

let's go Jason!

crowd that plate!

PRADOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!
Sexiest strikeout in the league

coming to the plate!

I wish you weren’t right

I don't

understand how they didnt see the potential in Prado before

Kelly sturggled and Prado just took the opportunity and ran with it...and kept raking
OK J Hey

No K here

2 hits for Prado.

ho hum.

who is this prado feller

and what happened to kelly johnson

c'mon kid!

I’ll miss that when bobby retires

Extend the hit streak mayne!

Im eating ice cream BE JEALOUS ALL OF YOU

is about to get coca-cola wasted over here...bump your ice cream

but I have my own ice cream, so why should I be jealous of yours?

Mine is better

I really doubt that, I have cherry vanilla smothered in Hersey’s syrup. Its da bomb

Ok you win

I usually do:)

that pitch outside = not a strike
atbat agrees with you
HR ON THIS PITCH
the pitcher ruined it
3-1

find one to drive

dang.

the fact that i’m reading this means my radio feed has lost a few seconds.

ooooooooooo…. found it…. missed it.

how many multi hit games does prado have…..????

one trillion and fifty seven
so many they stopped counting
more than you and me

PUT TOGETHER.

31 now maybe? I remember he had his 29th in the Twins series

he's got like...14 3-hit games
White Sox walk Zimmerman to go to Dunn

Terrible IMO

kinda like walking mccann to get to glaus, eh?
ding ding we have a winner!!
glaus is 100x better than dunn this year
that is a smart

and obviously well researched move

or walking Glaus to get to MVP
Dunn does not get it done

Lol

Dunn has a HR in like 5 of the last 6 games…

Every time I've seen him recently

he’s driving a runner in.

Of course he Ks though making me look dumb.

pick your poision

K or bouncer to first?

Much better AB this time regardless.

full count...i'd say line drive to to left

it sucks to know that we are expecting this lately.

...or a well earned walk
STAYIN

ALIVE.

survival of the fittest

good at bat heyward

GOOD AB THERE KID
the funny thing is

it’s just a plate appearance. :p

he still can walk with the best of em
Bases loaded
Heyward - Bases now loaded for Chipper!

I AM SO EXCITED

to see Chipper hit with the bases loaded…

LET’S FUCKING GO!!!!

CRAZYY TRAAAAIN

I would have just throw him the heat up in the zone

CHIPPER DOESN'T NOT DRIVE IN A RUN HERE
Extra innings for the Nats

Dunn struck out in the bottom of the 9ths.

Walk for K-ward

nice AB there

suicide squeeze

they’ll never see it coming

this is always the right answer
2001?! that is a long time to go without a Granny for a guy who hit 360

Chipper shaved. He looks so much younger

yeah…only like 35

flashback to 08 chipper!!
Mark Texiera sucks at pitching
Makes you wonder

why we traded so much for him.

But Heyward is awesome at it

if only the world was as positive as bobby cox
Nats and WSox - going to the 10th.
If only

we could squeeze every time :(

Never thought I'd say this, but glad that Milky's on the team. He's been solid since Nate got hit by that bus.
that Vazquez trade is seeming awfully

one sided right about now. Dunn is the 3rd piece and he may end up being our closer.

We hosed Cashman

Glad to see

that people are coming around. Welcome to the Melkwagon, folks!

Yeah, it was just hard to stop the hate after 4+ years.

I love the fact that even though they don’t always get there for the out, he isn’t afraid to throw in from the outfield.

welcome aboard

He’s always had solid AB’s just no results. Now he’s getting the results. I can dig it

the

Public Transport Bus #22

As much as I dislike him and expect him to come back to earth at any moment, I have to admit he’s been much better than I expected the couple weeks.

Just hope Nate can remember how to play baseball a little so they can split time.

Green light Bobby

grand slam grand slam grand slam

alas, SF.
only 1 run.

We score a run here

i don’t like this color scheme…. too creepy for me :(

red and black is awesome

Yeah, it’s a little deep… I agree

Now it's gold... refresh.
a productive out

i’ll take it. just not as exciting as a granny

You love the scent of of Ben-Gay do ya?

only if it's on your bod

Hate to disappoint, but I may be to young for ya. ;-)

how old to you think i am?

Do I dare guess? Can our relationship handle it if I’m wrong? ;-)

I don’t think…you’re 30 yet.

i'm not.

what are you? 21? 22? that’s not too young! jeez

I wish. Although I remember those well. ;-)

I’m more “cougareske” than that.

i really don't care about age

if it’s within reason and the law :)

haha

dude

can’t hit the zone. yay!

Dude was coming out reguardless of the sac fly...lefty up in the pen
Chipper

Sac Fly

Chipper sac fly for an

oooh....pretty rbi
as often as bobby has been squeezing as of late

maybe we need one for that, haha

I thought that was going out but we scored so its k

C'mon one more run to remove 1-swing-of-the-bat-tie-possibility
let's go.... yankees?
cringe
(turns head in shame from that statement)
sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do

i hate it too…

NEVER

well maybe just for next 3 days

i'm disappointed

that you uttered that phrase on this site. No matter what, I will never root for the Yankees.

i am not rooting for them

my official stance is i’m rooting for the mets to lose

i'm rooting for them both to lose

if only that was possible.
sigh

Lets go

the-AL-team-in-New-York

Elmer Dessens on for the Mets

Yes, seriously.

OMG, how does he keep getting jobs?
I dunno

He came in, gave up a double to one man, gave way to Pedro Feliciano. Guess the plan worked, Omar?

Seriously this guy sucked balls, years ago. You idiot Omar!

GOSH. That JJ guy is annoying

ugh...Star Wars

Special Edition? Show the original theatrical release, dammit!

Peachtree TV’s JJ guy looks like Larry the Cucumber

Larry the Cucumber is AWESOME

put the pics next to each other…their faces r the same…

OT: Brent Lillibridge in to pinch run!
good thing too

other dude would have been out there

sure would have…

I call for a Heap Smash right here

GO BRIAN

White Sox playing small ball?
OT: Nate Green called up by the Blue Jays
Nick Green

How dare you!

ahhh! Freudian slip!! hahaha
Prado has 98 hits

to lead MLB but Cano right on his tail at 97.

Hope Prado gets to 100 first

Does he get a prize for that?

a handy j
hmmm....

depends on who its from. If from you than Prado will go into a funk and let Cano get it first

in my personal opinion

i think i’m pretty good.

in my personal opinion

you are VERY good

more exciting than the sosa-mcgwire HR race
Of course

The sosa-mcgwire race wasn’t…legit. If ya know what i mean

also

i have both of them on my fantasy team. took prado in the 18th round

unless he gets two more tonight, we're gonna have to hope the Mets keep him hitless till the game tomorrow night ...

..i think i just dry heaved at that thought

Neat

stellar night for heap

Skanks with leadoff man on 2nd

Cervelli 2B

Dang it brian

Time for Blanco n Brooksy sightings?

you know

bobby loves the defensive replacements. he’ll prob let hinske bat once more though

up by 4

we’ll see venters, right?

maybe

Kimbrel!!

i think bobby forget he's in there
forgot*

he only brought in Resop because……shit

Man I'm glad our lineup is versatile

heyward, mccann, glaus 0-10 tonight

bottom half killed it tonight

especially the melk-man

dlowe

has more hits than all of them!

Here we go

Yankees, here we go. CLAP CLAP

LETZ GO LOWEEEEE

Ross over Heap

Heap needs a break.

this
DEAR GOD IT'S ONLY THE 7TH

I say bring Chavez in… make it a save opportunity

you mean walk off possibility
Was that seriously "Here comes the Bride"

playing on the stadium organ?

Creepyyyyy

Yankees - runner on 2nd, none out.

Bottom 7th.

Granderson K's

he has like a 0.010 batting average against lefties

Ok

Get him out, now, before its too late.

time to get the BP up
Well this is trouble
ring ring

Hello

hey its Kimbrel, im still here

sorry wrong number

Hey uhhh it’s Tiger, you gotta delete your voicemail

Lol

EOF
+1

Please him and not Venters again. I love how EOF went from completely overused to completely underused in a 2-week stretch.

You know Bobby & his habits. I'm waiting to see if Krimbel will have to wait another week to pitch.
yeah

bobby likes to use him for like 1-2 batters only for some reason

lowe seems to run out of gas at some point all the time.

he can never finish a game

can we give Heyward a night off?

or does Bobby have to do that?

he's trying to break ripken's record

bobby doesn’t want him to have to start over

EOF

He still exists?

hey look…its wilson betemit

Betemiiiiiiiiiit!

Wilson Betemeeeet or Betime

OT: Andruw Jones in as a defensive replacement in the 10th

Boy how far the mighty has fallen

i still got a running $1000 bet

that he doesnt make the HOF.. what do you guys tihnk

a winnar

is you

by what date?

Cuz I could play this out until i’m dead

I think..

drinks on you.

I think he's in

especially if the Braves have anything to do with it. Part of what made Maddux, glavine and smoltzie great is Andruw and the defense he played

Like a real bet? Cause you win easily

It's his own damn fault too. He had a great shot to make it.

sure did. he’s the greatest defensive outfielder of our generation, by far. just got chubby son

So wasteful. Just stay in shape man.
i mean my brother

seems to think that he can make 400 hrs and hes the best defensive CF of all time

398 HOME RUNZ HES A HOF ER!

He's having a better year than I thought. To be honest he'd never be used for even that the last few years.
Ole Wilson
chipper for 2011 petition anyone?
let him do what he wants

and respect it

oh i respect it

but id love to see him play again. hes the man

Nah i want Jerry Manuel in 2011!
/sarcasm

LOL

Just noticed the OT title

damn you

bate-a-meat

alright thats enough

Ex Brave haunts us again
WILSON BETEMIT NOOOOO
damn it

Lowe sucks Now

QS for Lowe

As long as the Braves can get out of this inning.

Good game Lowe
Skanks have runner on 3rd finally but 2 out
and they fail to score again

Jeter groundout. Awesome.

aaaaannnndd Jeter grounds out.

lame? but also warms my heart. ALL AT ONCE.

the ol' quality start

what derek lowe clings to these days

i'll take it all day long!

damn I changed my mind and put 6.2 innings instead of 6.1 for my nahwal

Lowe pitched decently tonight, but a standing ovation? I love the enthusiasm from our crowd, but that seems a bit excessive.

you gotta give him confidence
I think it shows class.
Don't get me wrong,

I’d clap him off. I just wouldn’t stand. That should be reserved for truly dominant performances.

Tonight's crowd is not as all-knowing as the TC faithful
Flashback: Wilson Betemit was our #1 prospect for 2 straight seasons!

oh the Horror, let it go

Was that after...

…George Lombard?

i had his "hot prospect" card.

i thought he’d be the next Chipper. or something.

I thought he was going to be our SS of the future, then he kept growing and growing and growing.

I mean do the Yankees just hate us or something... they wont even beat our division rivals just to spite us
while we beat the rays

shakes head

i just figured it out...

i have to root for them.. so they lose….

Mets got out of the inning... still lead 1-nil.
i cant believe the mets

are blanking the yanks. that jap has such a weird delivery seems like it would take a while to time

love EOF's song

muse – uprising

They will not

controooool us

it was cool

the first 250 times i heard it. it’s stale

WTF

Happened to Meds

accident

with a lawnmower

Had Adam LaRoche cut his hair, probably.

Lost a bet

Mike Stanton:

14 K’s in 35 AB’s but a GS tonight. Sounds about right.

Damn Melky

that was goooood.

MELKY> Nate x1000

also, he throws the ball when he has a chance to.

MVP MVP MVP

great jump

Dude

What happened to Medlen’s hair?

Ughh. I'll be the first to say it

Meteor

he has hair… i only see his flat bill

Whats up peoples!!!!!

s’up homie?!?!

Ooh

If Utley doesn’t make an out, Howard due up with chance for the cycle

if he HR's

will he miss 2b on purpose?

umm.

7th inning “what”?

What is that picture for?

7th inning stretch
it's time to stretch!
I'm like confused and happy
I can't wait when

McClouth leaves Atlanta then starts producing.

Who is the EOF guy? he looks solid.

and manny K´s….

Cant stand EOF

Fail

Manny

Wow

Chan Ho Park ptiching for the Yankees. Seriously, who knew he was still in baseball?

He was good last year for the Phillies

in relief, anyway.

Matt Diaz update

Got the okay TODAY to start swinging a bat… that’s from Leo on the radio pregame show.

he will be tearing up LF

which is what we’re missing. We lose to a lot of lefties

Venters in the 8th?

Guaranteed

what about martinez or kimbrel?!

Bobby says “Who?”

nah he deserves tonight off

probably

Poor Kimbrel. Hurry back Saito!

I'm thinking Moylan
Who still has a pager, Joe?!
drug dealers
And doctors

Though that’s not necessarily a big difference.

doctors?

Yup, i had one as a resident
Smart guy, eh???

no he just lived at a hospital

Debbie Does Dallas

Ha thatd be an interesting scene

Kimbrel

not coming in ever, is seriously annoying me. He also needs to see some tight situations, not just coming in with big leads.

in short

yes

How old is strasburger?

TEHERAN EATS STRASBURGER

Pitch count

Royals: 156

The rest of the radio... GO BRAVES

David DeHeyward is due up next

sick play blake….

Dan in Real Life sucked

the only good movie Carrell has been in is

40 year-old virgin, and even that is overrated, in my opinion.

god this peanut commercial is terrible

Hate “local” commercials. So annoying

WHY DOES EVERY COMMERCIAL HAVE TO HAVE A STUPID SONG!?!?

i've never been able to figure that out.

i mean, if they want us to buy their product (or whatever), don’t you think they’d make the ad at least listenable?

ChiSox take the lead on errant throw by Zimmerman.

Very tough play to make however

Jose Reyes in another 15 min AB

Great defense from Grandpa

END SEVENTH... 6-3 is the lead.

Top 8th
Top 9th
Bot 8th
Top 11th, Kotsay scored

twins with bases loaded, 1 out
braves-style come from behind?
i seriously hope they do that thing we did.
Reyes doubles

Mets 2nd/3rd 1out

who was the out?

i’m pretty sure there isn’t one. :(

BOOOOOOOOOOO

That guy is FATS

Fast….

So, my wife is working at her mom’s bridal store today, and a girl comes in saying she wants to buy a dress, she’s getting married next week (which is almost impossible because of the fitting and all that.) After it got weirder and weirder, the girl reveals her dad is from Afganistan, he is God, and she’s Eve, and the world will end on June 24th. Then they told her she couldn’t buy a dress, and she left.

LOL!! that is so creepy!

they called the cops, and she apparently was doing the same thing at other nearby stores, so she got a visit from the police and medical personell.

somebody is a few fries short of a happy meal

haha sweet. I live in EB too

heh, awesome. it’s the place to be.

It's funny about the New York Game

It started 30 minutes earlier, but we’ve passed it, despite the fact that there have been more runs, more hits, and more baserunners in this game by an easy margin. They’ve throw a whopping 12 more total pitches than we have seen in this game.

Yankees games last forever for no reason.

cause the yankees take every count full
But like I said

There haven’t even been that many more total pitches.

Also

Just as many pitching changes.

NATS Lose to CWSox, 2-1.

11 innings.

Omar PH
i like!!!!

great to see him back

melky hit that one kind of hard too

Omar PHing!

this makes me happy.

This a surprise

I heard he was still hurting quite a bit.

nice to see omar back

and with his fancy shin and top of foot guard, a K.

Imhotep's back...alright
Imhotep sighting!

It’s been a while.

1 week

but feels like forever

Nats lose

Marlins bring in Nunez to close out the Rays. Phillies already won.

Omar is gonna look like Iron Man

before long with all that armor he’s wearing.

kinda looks like my character in demon souls….

+8 gauntlets?
lil rip here prado!!!

Base hit brings Heyward up for the strikeout

So anyways, I've been gone for a week....

why the hell are the Mets actually playing baseball?

cause they've been playing scrubs lately.....

Orioles and Indians.

They took FYF out of the line-up :)

I think the Mets have been batting for about an hour in the 8th inning.

The top of the 8th in that game

Started before the top of the 8th in our game. And we even had a pitching change during the top of the 8th.

Wow Joe

This really sounds dirty.

1 2 3 billy….lets go

Wags time

…and I don’t mean those cute soccer chicks…though that would be nicer

i just learned something.

What have you learned

what a wag is.

Posh Spice = Original WaG
Fish Win

Also, everyone hear that Tulo has a broken wrist? That sucks for the Rox.

no more Miley Cyrus :(

Prado was just saving Heyward the embarrassment of another K

FISH Win... 7-4 over the suddenly mortal Rays.

Unbelieveable! Yankees finish off the Mets in the 8th.

Ethier 0-4 Prado back atop the NL BA stats!
That's right, fall back you Bum

Joe Simpson: I just needed Good Wood above my hands…… yeah…..

Yeah Joe...he snuck one in on the public there
OT: the heat index was 120 degrees today

and i ran 4.5 miles without walking! twas a breakthrough~

you don’t have a car? was someone chasing you? why would you run in those conditions?

gettin' in shape, baby!

i have my 10 year high school reunion coming up and i don’t wanna be one of those guys that “let himself go.” running in those conditions works me harder.

oh, my ten year reunion was like, 8 years ago. And I was one of the guys that “let themselves go”.
:)

maybe you're just not as insecure

as i am.

nah, I’m just lazy

Me and Veronica are trying out this new fad called jogging. or maybe it’s pronounced yogging. I’m not too sure. but apparently…you just run.

I believe there’s a soft J.

Congrats. Make sure to work that in the conversation with your lady on Monday.
Stamina = good thing.

Love running. Got a 10 mile race in the morning. It is an addiction.

i'm not to addiction phase, yet.

I think I’d rather do crack

Why do you think I run?

We're on the MLB network now.

…if you can ignore Mitch…

not in richmond ><!!!

Juuuuuust a bit high

Phil Mickelson finishes round 5 under

2nd place, 1 stroke back

Nasty pitch for out one
yessir!

2 more.

swisher on 2nd, 1 out for yanks
Check swing on the first one - does that count as a back K?

Marteeen now leading MLs in H w/ 98. Cano w/ 97 and coming to bat in NY.

put this guy away plz

Wags says, “sit you and your career .313 OBP ass down!”

1 more out to go!!
1 more out to go
Cue the band...
lol FUGA homer!!
Dang...FUGA still hits those?
He's still alive
He's a professional hitter.
Get the celebratory pics, animals, etc ready!

STRIKES PLEASE

Bryan Pena

is about to get sodomized and there aint a damn thing he can do about it

Sodomize him at first Troy!

eeeewwwwwww!

On the Mets board

They’re getting so frustrated that we won’t lose

Awesome.

That just made my day.

At least it’s mutual

that was us last year w/the phillies

Little late in the game to be tightening that strike zone
strikes, please.
GAME OVER. BRAVES WIN. 3rd staight.

BRAVES WIN!!!
Bubb Rubb.
Burn Royals Burn

…winnerz all around!!

BRING ME THE FINEST MEATS AND CHEESES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
IS THIS REAL LIFE?!

Photobucket

Braves win!

so long, everybody.

i want the homer simpson

running man

Wags teases, but never displeases!!!
Lowe with 9 wins

I’m still wondering when KK is gonna fight him

wait we must root for the yanks

stupid yankees…

WE BEAT THE RAYS FOR YOU AND THIS IS HOW YOUR REPAY US??

Where’s my llamasaurus?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!

No rainbow llamasaurus...that ain't right
RBI Leaders

GLAUS 53
Wright 53
Pujols 50
Howard 49

So how does it feel to lead the league in a worthless stat?

Worthless? Alright.

are you saying that is worth something? Go back to 1964

You’re telling me that the number of runs a player has driven in doesn’t count?

Like I said go back to 1975 or whenever. RBIs are all about who is in front of you. RBIs give me like 20% of information about a player. out of all the stats we have…. RBIs and Runs might be the two worst

Save #398 for Wagner!!!!

haha nc

you got the best ones

lols....+100
-98 cause I had money on that game though
Betting on Team USA might be patriotic

But it’s also illegal.

Nite friends

It’s been fun!

Mets up 3-0

Going to the 9th now.

FO by Cano. hitless for game. Mets up 3-0 heading into top of 9th.

whew internet came back just in time for the end of the game

nite everybody!

Failcouer even joining in tonight

Doubled for his second hit.

747 OPS now!

meteor?

We take the Series tomorrow night!

.

So why is boone logan still pitching?

Yankees don’t even want to win

Because he's a great LOOGY

So naturally, he’s the guy you want pitching to Francoeur and Ruben Tejada.

And of course, Jose Reyes

Single for him, 4-0 Mets now.

And He makes an appearance. I love Rainbow Llamasaurus.

If the Mets hang on to win this, tonight's results.

NL East 4-1

Rest of NL so far: 0-5 (Houston is a sure shot to lose, down 6th in the 7th as well).

when the race heats up can we have nl east rival open game threads
based loaded

lets go yanks

Lot of creepiness in the OT tonight. Yikes.
