[Omar]

Bingo

once i was 7 years old

 

*Richard enters a close game*

 

soon i'll be 60 years old

[TruffleShuffle]

Is Clayton Richard still around to try to prevent the Cubs from getting overconfident by having too good a W-L record?

[Tim]

WOW Richard didn't get the job done? YOU DONT SAY

Take your pick. Richard or Montero or LaStella's defense at third.

[Gilby]

Meh, that's a groundball, can't get on Richard too much for that. Now Miggy's refusal to do anything besides backhand breaking balls in the dirt, allowing a slow runner to get to 3rd, is a different story.

[illiniguy]

Only bitch I have about this years team is Richard. I know it doesn't mean much, we are 40-16, but that guy isn't a big leaguer.

[BigSlick]

This inning is stupid and wont horsefeathering end

[Ski]

There isn't a single defensible reason for Richard to still be on this team. None.

[UMFan83]

This is just one of those games where everyone plays poorly in just about every phase of the game.

A ground ball with an exit velocity of 102 mph.

[Ski]

Holy horsefeathers, he's out. Just call it already.

if La Stella has a better arm, he can play a bit deeper and has a shade more time to react and probably gets that ball.

[Ski]

Oh hey, replay blew another obvious call.

[Tim]

Now, that pickoff is on Richard. If he steps off and holds the ball, he's got him in a run down. By throwing to first, he makes it a challenging play.

[Tim]

I'm not worried. There shall be dongs.

[bcl412]

We need a late comeback win just because i like winning

[Ski]

I'll take it. Now time to break out of this funk, Russell.

[soccer10k]

[Ski]

Rally time!

[bcl412]

[Tim]

[BigSlick]

C'mon Javy!!

[Gilby]

This dude and his 70% splitters isn't a good matchup for Javy. Please hang one!
