A-Ram will make it up in the 9th.

HAHAHAHAHAHA. So expected.

Expect the expected.

PBP on the Brewers-Mets game, please?

LaTroy Hawkins says hi.

Gamecast is wrong or something.

I didn't think it was a home run because Edmonds didn't do his "Oh look, I hit a home run. Let me admire it."

When did we ever doubt these guys?

That was Quintero's 3rd walk of the season. 134 PAs.

Can we DFA Howry and get... Dubois on the 40-man?

Who didn't see that coming? Anyone?

Thats why they should clean out the ivy.
