The pong is fucking annoying. I gotta mute it every time it goes to commercial.

Greg M · « **Reply #25 on:** April 03, 2007, 07:39:55 pm »

Muting works but then I miss the first pitch or two of the inning since I don't have the patience to look at the pong screen for a couple of minutes at a time.

I'd like to compliment those fans down there on the corner who didn't even pretend that they were going to reach over and try to grab the ball.

austro · « **Reply #33 on:** April 03, 2007, 07:49:31 pm »

I'm confused: if Duffy has noodle arm (I assume it's still Duffy in center), why isn't Everett trying to advance on the Jennings liner? Other than I guess they assume that 2nd is just about as good as 3rd with 2 outs.

matadorph · « **Reply #34 on:** April 03, 2007, 07:49:37 pm »

leadoff double with nothing to show for it.

matadorph · « **Reply #35 on:** April 03, 2007, 07:55:30 pm »

very opportune time for Jennings to remind us that he's a groundball pitcher.

yeah, but i thought the consensus was they didn't want pence on the bench. if he came up, he would have to go into a 'loose' platoon with lane. which would be complicated, or something.
