Pesky classes, sheesh.  I got more important things to do.  

 

Wow, and we've doubled our run total since-  the big lad went deep, eh?  Anybody on base?  Oh, of course not.  

 

Well, I'll take it.  I'm just thinking 2 runs is maybe not enough to win this game?

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

yeah at this point, ride the luck train and leave Hughsie in

[kusko_andy]

75 freaking pitches and he's done, eh?  I'm not saying I have a ton of confidence in Hughes to protect his one-run lead, but what gives?

[David HK]

 

Paulie molnuts overmanaging again.

Over, or under, it never ceases to amaze...  

 

I've got to stop scratching my head in that same spot, though, it's getting really painful.

[ScrapTheNickname]

 

There just ain't enough people out there named Burl anymore.  

 

By golly, if I have a little boy someday.....

Little boy? If he is born big, then name him Burl.

[Aggies7]

I bet Hughes is fuming. Or maybe he's happy he did well.

Maybe his new contract stated he got paid more the less IP.

Two hard-hit balls in a row in a 1-run game, one more hard-hit ball and the score is tied. Damned if you do, damned if you don't.

[Aggies7]

"On,y 3 appearances all year where he's given up a run"

 

We'll see about that.

[Aggies7]

Please throw strikes.

[David HK]

Well, I'm praying Gulfa doesn't have a meltdown here.

 

I'm always in the guy's corner, he's got electric stuff.  He's got to start producing with it.

 

And just as I type this---  argh.

[Aggies7]

I hate this team. Total trash.

[Aggies7]

Sorry Phil. We're leaving Tonkin in until this one is a loss.

[Aggies7]

How are you going to concede the tie in the 7th when we struggle to score.

[notoriousgod71]

Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha, Molitor is betting on games again.

[David HK]

 

I bet Hughes is fuming. Or maybe he's happy he did well.

I'm thinking fuming.  One out, one run, nobody on.

[operation mindcrime]

Well it's not a high leverage situation anymore! \m/

[ScrapTheNickname]

 

Pitch to contact is good, as long as the contact referred to is ball contacting glove.

Prescient.

[Aggies7]

Thanks, Paul! Hopefully you don't follow to far in fredi's footsteps!

[spinowner]

So which is this?

[howeda7]

I hope y'all got in on that sweet Tigers +450 action at the end of the 6th inning...

[Aggies7]

How are we going to leave Tonkin in?....HOW

[Aggies7]

Where is ABAD!?

[notoriousgod71]

 

Where is ABAD!?

 

Are you not watching?

[Aggies7]

Are you not watching?

I am watching

[Aggies7]

Just give them that base, mike. Not important.

[howeda7]

I am less impressed with Molitor every day. He's no upgrade over Gardy, he just picks different things to make weird decisions about. 

[Aggies7]

Look at Phil in the dugout. Furious.

[ScrapTheNickname]

 

I hate this team. Total trash.

You loved them a minute ago?

[David HK]

Big K.  One more.  Let's not give up this lead.  

 

Gulfa's out of options, right?  So, waiver wire, maybe, and most likely lose him.  And who comes up in his place?
