Heh, I like that.

Texas keeps winning. They're playing a shitty team, but so are we.

Byrd. Byrd. How can we like this man? And yet, he's pitching for us. So, giddy up, Byrd.

Thunderous RBIs

Unknown said...

Byrd, throw fucking strikes

Zenslinger said...

Byrd...Byrd...Thanks for the one good start. Now fly away.

Unknown said...

Gah...

Unknown said...

Not great, but I'll take it

Now get the fucking third out

Unknown said...

Alright

I want to see some more runs, I don't trust Byrd with this lead

A Conformer said...

If I was disaster, and Byrd was flirting with me this aggressively, I would reject him. He's an ugly mofo.

Unknown said...

Oh look, the Cactus struck out

A Conformer said...

I don't know what Fuck Yeah was thinking... and that shove LBJ gave Wieters looked odd.

Unknown said...

Sit

Score runs

Unknown said...

Ugh

Unknown said...

Good inning

LOWELL WHEELS!

Rob said...

That was cool.

Hey, everyone.

The slowest guy on the team making like Jacoby wow, & V-POWER!

Unknown said...

Cactus Double!

Unknown said...

Alright, let's get that run back

And then score some more

Unknown said...

Dammit, quit fucking running on him!

Unknown said...

He quite clearly has a damn good arm.

Unknown said...

I miss the good old days where Delcarmen didn't suck.

He's had an ERA of 4.00 or more every month since June.

Unknown said...

Nice fuckin' job Delcarmen

Walking in the fucking tying run...

Unknown said...

Sit

Unknown said...

Sit

Score runs

Unknown said...

Cactus with two hits in one game?

Unknown said...

Sea Bass with two scrotum bunts in one game

A Conformer said...

Seabass now has a lower OBP than AVG, no?

Unknown said...

"Seabass now has a lower OBP than AVG, no?"

Yep

Rob said...

Dear, NESN.

I don't care about the fucking moon.

Show the game.

Unknown said...

Sit

Billy Wagner is a beast

Rob said...

On Sale: Ribeye! Buy three for the price of one! Only at V-MART!

Unknown said...

I look away and suddenly V-Mart gives us a three RBI pinch hit double.

Nice!

Unknown said...

I hope Lowrie is coming in to replace Lowell at third, we haven't seen enough of him this season.

Unknown said...

Ah, Youk at third

Works for me

SoSock said...

Greetings
Game still on?

SoSock said...

Ah, so it is. And going well I see.

Unknown said...

Wow...that's a really unfortunate way for your first career plate appearance to end

SoSock said...

Well, tis better to line into a DP than to ground into 1. The result's the same, true, but the liner was a better hit.

SoSock said...

Dice K update.
Straight from the field.
He got the win tonight!

7+ IP, 1R, 3H, 6K, 1BB, 1HB

We all tried to recreate the 1st inning a couple of innings later in our head, but we can't decide if the run was earned. The guy who scored got the 1st hit off of him.
There was an error that inning, but I can't remember if it would have been the 3rd out.

Unknown said...

Oh, I'm not blaming him or anything, I just meant that line drive double plays are unfortunate bad luck.

SoSock said...

Crap Pap.
Get it done....NOW

Unknown said...

Scrotum fly

Eh, I'll trade an out for a run here

A two run lead is plenty to work with

SoSock said...

Whew.
When I saw "run(s)" on GDGD, I thought to myself - "I hope that was a sacrifice"

SoSock said...

Dirty filthy water!

Unknown said...

WATER

SoSock said...

Wow, 27 hits. A slugfest tonight.

I can't tell you how cool it was watching Dice tonight. I've seen him before, but that was from halfway down the 3rd baseline in the upper deck at Baltimore.
To sit right behind his dugout, where we could have shaken hands every time he came off the field, was awesome. He was very friendly to the crowd, but did not stick around for autogaphs or anything.
He did throw a few baseballs into the crowd as he walked down the clubhouse to leave.

SoSock said...

I have to wonder when the last time was that he pitched in a venue where he had to walk out past the foul pole and down a dirt path to the clubhouse :)

tim said...

Coming from the asshole whose team just lost 2 in Toronto, that hurts.

SoSock said...

That couldn't possibly be the same Toronto team we swept, could it?

Oh yeah.....I think it is.
