Maine strikes out the side while throwing maybe, maybe 4 strikes in the inning.

The goddamn steM are hitting shit all over the field.

Lamb says to Scott, "did he pitch you inside? He pitched me inside."
Scott "He did! Next time he pitches us inside lets not swing!"
Lamb, "Lets not!"

You want a real treat? Get the 4:3 picture and show it in stretch mode on your 16:9 display. That's a wide load.

Lee, you have the ball, you're not throwing home, you're throwing to the cut off man, why hesitate? He did the same damn thing on the fly ball before. Just hit the cut off man.

Yes. Terrible outfield play displayed by Lee so far tonight.

Slider Down and Away is the sub-title. The forward is by some kid that just got called up.

MikeyBoy · « **Reply #28 on:** July 05, 2007, 08:11:17 pm »

Evidently, hanging sliders are a new way to get Bidge out. Of course, Lucas said that it hung too high, whatever the fuck that means. It was on a tee.

pravata · « **Reply #29 on:** July 05, 2007, 08:12:32 pm »

Jenning's plan is taking shape, the Mets are wore out from rounding the bases.

pravata · « **Reply #30 on:** July 05, 2007, 08:15:36 pm »

Lucas, reading from the Caray Magic 8 Ball, says Maine will get tired from striking out so many batters.

Lucas is fucking awful. We're talking Josh Lewein bad.

Has anyone else noticed that the Biggio commemorative Louisville Slugger bat they keep advertising during the game has Bidge's middle name spelled wrong?

Nice spot! Makes it more valuable. Because they needed a bigger hook.

Still advertised wrong in the stadium as well. somebody isn't doing their job. That should be no surprise though.

Sweet... Lucas was hocking his astros booth email info earlier, and apparently people have been writting in asking him when JD would return.

If Mike Lamb could be invisible... he'd go sit in the oval office. That's not how my fantasy goes.

gwat · « **Reply #48 on:** July 05, 2007, 08:58:17 pm »

Mike Pelfrey, the steM Friday night starter, 0-6 for now, was just seen putting down his pitch chart and crayola so that he could "lick his chops" in the Met's dugout. That just sucks.
Mike Lamb probably wanted to be invisible as soon as he heard the question, "What would you do if you could become invisible"?

Why would Bork not pitch from a wind-up to start the inning? What goes into that decision? Is it based off the type of stuff he throws?

Brown did. on 0-2 he said, "they usually stay outside on Morgan. Now would be a good time to come in on him" No, curve? away, 1-2 then fastball in. Morgan poses. He's hoping to make his mark as a potrait model.
