Watching Phils-Giants while waiting for the 'Stros. Someone just hit a sac fly into medium LF, where Juan Pierre caught it. Theriot didn't even hesitate and took off from third, and he was in the dugout by the time Pierre's banana throw made it to third base. What a noodle arm.

BK BBQ?!?!?!?!

BK BBQ?!?!?!?!
Don't get me started...
-
Lead-off double! My hopes for the night are already met: no no-hitter.
-
Back to back as a matter of fact.
-
The Serbian Slammer with a bunt hit.
-
Marwin Gonzalez can play.
-
Road Bud.
-
Matt Downs continues to rake, that was scored a hit.
-
Bud is up early.
-
Bud is fucking up early.
-
This reminds me of Little League.

If he keeps throwing that pitch it's going to remind you of tee ball.
-
That up heater cost him a run.
-
Did I start Parra tonight? Of course not.

Hey, I cut Norris earlier. You could pick him up.
-
Hey, I cut Norris earlier. You could pick him up.
Yeah, he's really got it going tonight. I should think about that.
-
Now Bud isn't finishing his offspeed stuff too, leaving it up too.
-
I was just about to ask about Maris, but JD answered it for me. How many other ballplayers besides Kubel are from South Dakota?
-
Bud looks like shit so far.
-
Of course, I *did* start Kubel, explaining his K there.
-

There have been 37 since 1900.
-
Baserunner didn't appear to have a sense of urgency to the plate.
-
Wow. Bud escapes with only one run scored.
-
Bud bore down there and started finishing his pitches.
-
Bixler is starting to wear out his welcome. He appears to be a AAAA player.
-
Norris is getting his sprints in.
-
What do you know? Schreefer 2-2.
-
Bud auditions for the Bolshoi Ballet! And then Schafer gets another hit! This 2012 Mayan thing may have legs.
-
C'mon Marwin.
-
Bixler is starting to wear out his welcome. He appears to be a AAAA player.
So, you're saying he's one of the team's three best at the dish by virtue of the extra "A"?
-
Along about 2015 or so this team oughta be pretty good.
-
Don't like that play at all for this team that isn't scoring runs
-
Mr Happy, that spot's for you.
-
Summer savings!
-
Schreefer tests Montero's arm and loses. 2-1 Bottom 2
-
Mr Happy, that spot's for you.
I know. It is awful.
-

I thought he meant that he'll have an outSTANding career in AAAAAuto Insurance.

You could make that trip to your local Nissan dealer more enjoyable if you included a refreshing stop at Burger King for some barbecue.

Scrappy is a key trait for succeeding in sales.
-
Bud really doesnt appear to have much command tonight. Yet, he has four strikeouts.
-
Cahill looks like Larry Mondello.
-

I am reminded of my favorite JR Richard game against the Dodgers, in which he had something like 15 strikeouts, 5 wild pitches, and 2 hit batsmen.
-
I wish Bud inspired that kind of fear.
-
Mother fucker.
-
Brian Bixler, it's all you dude.
-
Brett Wallace at short. Are you not entertained?
-
If we can't hit, we'll bunt you to death.
-
JD: "The good news is he's staying in the game."
Austro: "The bad news is that even a crippled starter is better than a bench player."
-
JD with a rare fail with a man on 3B.
-
I was wrong. Cahill looks like Francis Buxton.
-
Where's the annoying guy, Kyle, on the Chevy spot? I don't miss him though.

He turned into a bloodhound.
-
Damnit,Bud. Don't walk Drew. It doesn't get any easier.
-
Damnit, Corporan. You have to block that ball.
-
In other news, Nats just blew a 9-0 lead.
-
The walks have hurt Bud tonight. I've always said that walks can be as destructive as strikeouts can be helpful.
-
4-2 Dbacks.
-
Brownie with the jinx
-
And Norris was doing so well earlier this year.
-
In other news, Nats just blew a 9-0 lead.
Now *that* is impressive... The only thing I can figure is that DAS was at the game...
-
Upton goes oppo on a breaking ball up ovrr the plate. Bud has been for shit since returning from the DL. I still wonder if he's alright. His pitches are up tonight.
-

I really, really hope that Bourn had a major part to play in that. Going off to check my fantacrap stats now...
-
The mute button is one of man's greatest inventions.
-
And Norris was doing so well earlier this year.
I think that he's ofer with a high ERA since returning.

Well, you need to back it up to his actual injury, a couple of starts before he was sidelined.
-
We're playing bunt-o-matic. That's not going to do it if they're going deep.
-
Well, bite me.
At least I've got those Summer Savings Days going for me.

No Bourn magic?

Yep. I'd like to see some before and after tape on Norris to break down what's different. I bet that there is. That's what I used to do as a ptching coach. Tape doesn't lie.
-
No Bourn magic?
He hit a triple in the ninth for two rbis. Nats came back and the game is still going.
Nats might gain in interest in Myers pretty soon here.
-
No Bourn magic?
2-run triple in top 9 to give them the 10-9 lead.
-
Anyone caught Batman or Pelotero yet? Curious about folks thought on either...
-
Bud with a much needed shutdown frame. 4-2 Top 5
-

I've seen some interesting breakdowns on Shields, who evidently has changed his pitching approach and selection significantly in response to the crummier fielding behind him due to team injuries. I'm pretty sure Norris is throwing a different mix of pitches this year, but what or why I have no idea.
-
Looks like the same mix to me. Fastball with a shitload of sliders. The sliders aren't so plus most of the time anymore.

He's abandoned the curve and change completely.
-
Dang, Schafer got no jump at all on that steal.
-
Matt Downs es en fuego.
-
Why steal when you're down two, especially on Montero.
-
Bud tossing some meaty pitches right now, which isn't good at this point in the order.
-
Who goes down tonight? EDR?
-

I think Levine was guessing a hitter.
-
Seems like the wheels come off in the fifth for Norris this year.
-
Bases loaded with one out to Upton. This could be ugly. Bud needs to be careful.
-
Who goes down tonight? EDR?
Huh?!? Translate por favor...
-
Huh?!? Translate por favor...
Someone has to go down because Keuchel is coming up.
-
What is that, twelve consecutive pitches outside the zone?
-
Has to be EDR, because Cordero is already there, so the bully has an extra arm.
-
I think Levine was guessing a hitter.
Then it must be Bixler.
-
I'd be ok with moving Schafer.

Not like EDR is doing much either.
-
EDR gets a ball up to Goldschmidt, who doesn't miss it. 8-2 now.
-

Thanks!

Meanwhile, it's Happy Hour somewhere. I forgot who I am; it's always Happy Hour.

Happy Life.

Happy Talk.
-
I would feel better if someone else was at the plate right now.
-
The rook clanks one, scoring Bogusevic. 9-3 now.
-
Abad has looked much better since returning.
-
Abad travels back from 3-0 to strike out Kubel with a piece of 93 cheese in on the hands.
-
Zeigler.
-
Zeigler.
Ziegler.
-
9:1 GB/FB ratio. That's insane.
-

No putouts by an AZ OFer so far?
-
Jinxed!
-
The ratio was just for that one pitcher.
-
Ouch. Right in the plums.
-
Impressive neck tat, you fucktard.
-
Jeez, 10-4.
-
The Rhiner Cruz Experience is kinda like watching a snuff film.
-
Damnit, Cruz. You have no fucking clue where the ball is going. His constantly changing release points can't be helping him.
-
Downs with a fucking brain dead play at 1B. He's two feet from the bag. GET THE FUCKING OUT, YOU IDIOT!
-
20 fucking baserunners through seven. Six walks, several of which have scored. God, this is ugly..
-
Corporan's had a big night though.
-
We'll get our first look at Cordero in the eighth. Nothing like coming into a 4-13 game. Having been in more than a few of those, it actually is fun. Francisco singles sharply to LF, after Corporan hit his first big league home run, and it was a pretty good shot.
-
Who's got the recap of this shit fest?
-
NeilT.
-
Cordero is but a shell of his former self. But he tosses a scoreless frame. 13-4 Top 9
-
Street cred? When II was drinking, I couldn't have given two shits about street cred. As long as I had money, I was in the game.

Stupidest ad campaign in recent memory.
-
Shaw's mechanics are horrible.
-
Scott Moore makes it 13-8.
-
What was this, three hours and fifteen minutes?
-
Moore hits a three run bomb to cut the margin to five, but Bixler caps an 0-5 night by striking out again. IO predict that Bixler goes down if it is a hitter going down, and EDR if it is a pitcher.
-
Let's get together and do this again real soon.
Zzzzzzzz...
-
Almost 3:40 on your game time. Fuck.

Get used to it.
