It's Here!

Today marks the first day of the Pirates' first winning season in 20 years.

I am supposed to go to a lecture until 1:30, but the 61 and 71 lines run right past my building.....so.....we will see......it would be soooooo easy to hop on one!

 

[Darkstone42]

I might be able to stream the game or something at work. I don't have my laptop back, though, and my lab desktop is slow on the most basic of tasks. Like typing.

Man.....now you have me thinking, i could totally get tickets....hmm, i feel a cough coming on......

Well the good news is that Philadelphia's lineup isn't very good with Howard and Utley out.

 

[magnumo]

Everyone (even me) can be optimistic on opening day.

Bedard CAN beat Halladay! Nate CAN win the game with a late PH HR! (Or make that Hague if the Philllies bring in a lefty reliever.)

 

[Darkstone42]

Let's go ahead and make this the GDT.


I can't watch, but a 10-pitch scoreless first for Bedard is nice. 8 strikes. I like that. I also like that the only hit he gave up was a bunt single.

Let's get it going, bats!

 

[Darkstone42]

Presley with a leadoff single. Good start. And then Tabata with some apparent speed to beat out the infield hit.

 

[Darkstone42]

Rats. Double play.

Bring Presley home, Walker!

 

[Darkstone42]

Okay, no runs, but we got baserunners against Halladay, and that's a start.

 

[Darkstone42]

Important double play there for Bedard.


I'll just talk to myself.

 

[thedddd]

Bedard hasn't looked great but only a few meaningless hits so far so can't complain.

Would love to see the next three Jones, Barajas and Alvarez do something.

 

[thedddd]

Oh well, at least Alvarez didn't strikeout!

 

[Darkstone42]

Nothing doing on that half-inning, but it was nice to see Alvarez make Halladay throw 7 pitches, and then not strike out.

Great minds... :p

 

[thedddd]

Oh yeah, well at least you got a great mind!

 

[Darkstone42]

I'm getting the impression from GameCast that Bedard likes to work inside.

 

[Darkstone42]

Solid 1-2-3 inning from Bedard there as far as I can tell.

 

[thedddd]

I get that to that he likes to work inside. Like you I am seeing it on game cast it will be interesting to see what someone seeing it live has to say.
