8/15 Other Games

[17 Seconds]

Scully just said that Yost wears #3 in honor of Dale Earnhardt Sr.

 

That about seals the deal for me

 

On ESPN the other day they showed Yost's office and there's a huge framed poster/picture of Earnhardt Sr. in there. I'm serious.

[Guest]

Yay, We got Vin and FSN Prime Ticket. That was a hair moment for me.

[Guest]

Weeks grounds out 4-3. One out in the 8th.

 

Ugh. Hardy single. Kapler single. Fielder coming up.

[Ding Dong Johnson]

2 on, Fielder up

[Guest]

Bring in Beimel.

[OleMissCub]

Great, that mugwump Fielder is coming up.

 

Please popup or strike out fatboy.

[Little Slide Rooter]

I dont know ho the hell Ramon Troncoso is, but he wouldnt have been my first choice to protect a 1 run lead.

[Guest]

I'd take the DP.

[Ding Dong Johnson]

feels strange to root for Joe Beimel

[Guest]

Dodgers better a) win it and b) win it quickly so I can watch Phelps in peace.

[Guest]

Damnit. Fielder grounds out 3-unassisted. Tying run to third base, go-ahead run at second.

 

Pitching change. Broxton to try for the 4 out save.

[Ding Dong Johnson]

they need to hurry the hell up, I'm tired

with 8/14 converted save opportunities, Big John Broxton is about as inconsistant a closer as you can get.

[TMan92]

I love how that ridiculously overrated WS bullpen is coming back to earth.

[Ding Dong Johnson]

deep fly to right-center for out #3

Interesting how 3 sub .500 teams are in the top 3 in runs allowed. I guess it proves that good pitching wont beat good hitting any day.

Its almost as though when Joe Morgan dubbed it the best bullpen hed ever seen is when it began to unravel.

[Guest]

Just three more outs to get, LA.

[Rob]

Martin!!!

[Ding Dong Johnson]

Martin goes yard, 5-3!!!

[Little Slide Rooter]

So was Harts fly out as close to a 3 run bomb as gameday lead me to believe?

[Guest]

RUSSELL MARTIN!
