[Outshined_One]

Ball 2, down the middle.

[17 Seconds]

What the hell? Those were both right down the middle.

[Fred Hornkohl]

C Lee grounded out to third, 5-3

[Brian]

wait those are balls? I saw it go down the middle and looked away assuming a strike would be called... what bullcrap.

[illiniguy]

Yep, nice zone clown.

[Magnetic Curses]

Was it me or did Carlos Lee look like he saw a spider or something when Lee put the tag on him? His reaction was rather amusing.

Tejada singled to center field

 

I'll give him that one. He deserves it after his all-star performance.

I wonder if Uggla bought him a round for that one play?

[Ding Dong Johnson]

he should have bought him a boat

Uggla owed everyone on the NL team a steak dinner for his performance that night, imo.

Why? Does Tejada have a house in Cedar Rapids?

[Brian]

Speaking of Uggla, I saw the beginning of the Marlins game... the first 2 balls in play went right to 2nd. he got them both, and his teammates must have been giving him crap because he had a big smile after the 2nd one.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Pence struck out swinging

[Brian]

nice swing hunter

[Magnetic Curses]

muppet-man k's.

[Brian]

They also got out of a huge jam in the first.

[JoshiQ]

Kosuke saves our bacon.

[Brian]

where the heck did Kosuke come from?

[Outshined_One]

The curve is going to get hammered tonight if Lilly keeps hanging them like he has been.
