wow! how many steaks is Cain gonna own Blanco?

(does Pagan catch that?)

Probably, if his first move isn't towards 2B.

Offseason question: resign Blanco (hope Brown ready soon), let Pagan walk, sign Melk and Pence longterm?

Blanco - Yes
Pagan - no
Melk - yes
Pence - yes

Brown up in September.

 

[SFAnthem]

riot.. get the ball first, you had time

 

[gp956]

Theriot is not good when the runner gets in his vision.

 

[gp956]

Wright is really pulling off the ball tonight.

 

[ColinCoby]

Theriot has exceeded expectations but...

Is it because our expectations were so low? .270, steals some bases, puts up some decent at-bats, no home run power. Not really too much to get excited about.

Fixed it.

Yes. Although I must say, I like the way he plays the game. Seems to keep everyone's head in the game.

 

[Stokes1931]

Error. Walks. Playing with fire.....

 

[Stokes1931]

so I'm guessing the foul ball HR didn't do anything for ya

Would have only been a solo shot anyway..... :clock:

 

[gp956]

Tailor made......

 

[SFAnthem]

and mess is nicely cleaned up by Lopez

there's our LOOGY

 

[gp956]

Pill makes the scoop that Belt could not a few games ago.

 

[Stokes1931]

PBF

That works for me!

Wow.

Almost no scantily-clad avatars on here any more...

 

[SFGRTB]

Nice DP there. Mets are keeping it close.

Nate's D getting showcased:

Additionally, new right fielder Schierholtz ran down three fly balls, including two that seemed to be destined for the Nationals Park sod. His sliding catch on a ball hit by Harper in the bottom of the eighth kept the tying run out of scoring position with no outs.

“I take pride in my defense, too,” said Schierholtz, whose solo homer in the fifth inning to put the Phillies ahead to stay. “Whatever I can do to help our pitchers out, I’ll do it.”

 

[ColinCoby]

We've been totally outplayed and are lucky to be only one run down.

That said, this is the kind of game good teams win at home against lousy teams.

Let's go!
