Phil Hughes pitches the ninth and tenth, right?

If he pitches the ninth, he won't be pitching any tenth.

[LaBombo]

 

You should be ashamed, joe west

 

The capacity to feel shame is surgically removed before they umpire their first game, along with any sense of humility.

 

MLB umpiring is a thankless job, and it seems like they do several things in each game to make it that way.

Hey Van, you still around? I got some pickup lines you can use:

 

"Nice shirt. Can I talk you out of it?"

 

"Kiss me if I'm wrong, but dinosaurs still exist, right?"

 

"Are you a parking ticket? Cuz you got fine written all over you."

 

No charge, thank me later.

I have always liked these:

 

"Excuse me, but may I buy you a car?"

 

Van: "You remind me of my first wife."

Woman: "How many times have you been married?"

Van: "None."

"Hi... I'm new in town can you tell me how to get to your place".

If he pitches the ninth, he won't be pitching any tenth.

 

...or else most of the game threaders will need a fifth.

[Riverbrian]

Here comes a lefty to face the next 4 hitters.

And Thank you to the other Logan. 

[USAFChief]

LOOOONNNNGGG single, but we'll take it.

[Nine of twelve]

How's that?

That's exactly like that!

[USAFChief]

oh FFS.

 

Buxton could've done that.

[Darius]

That hit from Morrison was so desperately needed.

[Circus Boy]

It's 3-1. More runs would be nice At any rate, me so happy. Bring on the Fernando Experience.

[Twodogs]

So I'm assuming that Cave is a better fielder than Grossman, so why do you pinch hit for cave with Grossman when you already have a 2 run lead going into the 9th inning???

Because Molitor.

 

And Cave was the DH, so it doesn't really matter.

[Nine of twelve]

Isn't this pretty much how a game should go? Both teams' pitchers keep the game low-scoring and close, then the good guys get a key hit in a late key situation, then the closer says good morning, good afternoon, good night. Winnah, winnah, chicken dinnah!

[Blake]

 

[snepp]

A drama-less FRE, I'm kind of disappointed.

Not I.

[Riverbrian]

Rodney strikes out the side. Very Nice. 

 

 

[Circus Boy]

I'm eating ham for supper. Tastes like chicken.

 

BTW, 17 Ks today. When's the last time that happened?

We didn't pinch hit for Cave with a 2 run lead. It was the last at bat when the game was tied 1-1 when Grossman was called. 

[Blake]

I really like the way Rodney goes about his business.

 

Very deliberate and doesn't really show much until he gets the job done.
