Game Thread: NL Wildcard...Reds @ Pirates...Who ya got??

Cueto looks awful, and Liriano looks great. I like that.

 

[WhiteMamba]

Jose Rijo and Eric Davis still give me nightmares.

Frazier goes into the stands to make a catch. The announcers say nothing.

If Jeter had made that catch Kurkjian drops his pants and starts tossing it on national TV.

Sickening.

I heard some praise. It seemed like they weren't sure he made the grab at first. When the umpire called him out, they at least mentioned how great the catch was.

But it was kind of overshadowed by the two home runs and two other hits Cueto gave up that inning. And the Cueto chant.

That was a great play

 

[RobToxin]

9 up 9 down.

The way these two pitchers are going, this could get ugly early.

 

[Darkstone42]

That was another great play by Frazier, but that one robbed Morneau of a hit.

Pirates fans enjoying themselves. Damn, I hate being in the position of not hating one team in a big game like this. Why can't the Pirates be playing the Cards instead? Then I'd be drunk and screaming at the TV on every pitch.

These fans don't want to go home disappointed.

Off the bat it looked like a bloop hit all the way.

 

[HammerDown]

Dusty, you're not going to win the game with Cueto tonight.

 

[HammerDown]

The look on Cueto's face was "Oh shit, you're gonna lift me now???"

 

[geneh_33]

The Reds have got to start hitting or they are in for a long, long night.

 

[HammerDown]

Come on Country Joe, let 'em play.

 

[HammerDown]

What was Country Joe West talking to Alvarez about? His latest album? "I got some in the trunk. Want one?"

 

[broncosmitty]

Choo just loves getting plunked, evidently!

 

[HammerDown]

Am I the only one who thinks Cal Ripken is redundant in this booth? Ernie and the Mets guy (drawing a blank on his name) are good together. Ripken seems odd.

 

[HammerDown]

Did they announce the paid attendance? PNC is packed.

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

BOOM!

Marlon Byrd.

1-0 Pirates!

you're welcome....lol

Yeah, I've always liked him. Top notch - among the very best.
