motherfucker.
ok, season is doomed. once again.
what a big pile of shit.
Happy Sunday! : )
OK, double play. pitchers' BFF.
season back on!
let's make the playoffs.
; )
Robbie >>> Nune5!
Sweet.
Robbie!
That was pretty.
Ripper goes BOOM!
robbie rules!
handing out leadoff walks, does NOT rule.
Don't care for Nova's policy of issuing free passes today.
Atta boy, Robbie! Don't quite approve of the baserunning. : /
Robbie, Yes!!! Robbie, No!!!
Still, a net plus.
I think Rob just has the feeling that he'll have to do it all by himself today.
Hm.
It's a Maddon Move.
Definitely not a strike.
So rays broadcast poll: will Mo be 1st unanimous HOF electee? Broadcasters for rays say yes.
Aw shit!
I hate Longo
Don't like IBBs.
Okay. Even stephen.
Why does it feel like we're down by 2?
Just missed, Robbie.
I wish Mo would be unanimous, but there will always be voters who won't vote for relievers...
RI / IBB - yes, we know this about you!
Jeez, Lou, is not that difficult to figure ...
Down by 2 - Perhaps, you're thinking of the final score after tampon walks off?
: (
Just walk Longoria
Or, just get him out on one pitch. That works too.
I also don't really like one out for Kelley in a game that seems destined for extras.
I'd really live to beat ol' crooked hat.
Love, not live...damn iPhone
free baseball!
Hm, too bad that Shawn Kelley guy isn't available.
Goddamit Brett.
Or I guess Goddamit Joe.
WTF was Alex doing just standing there. Are you kidding me!
Oy.
Whew, I'm glad Shawn Kelley got one out. Otherwise he'd be pitching now, instead of this young phenom we have.
Well, he was caught. And then the pitcher only paused because Alex paused.
But...shit. This ain't gwan end well.
Ugh.
Joba = Sweep
Boone in to walk the lefty.
Maddon counters by bringing in a terrible hitter.
But Boone will not be distracted: he seems intent on walking the righty.
Hah!
Girardi is a genius.
Nice! Fuck that. yanks are winning this shit.
Ayyyyyyyyyy!
Stolen base!
How about some insurance now?
Up to our man, Mo.
Let's do this, pitch-by-pitch.
Ben Zobrist: Cutter, ground ball to Cano's right. Backhands, takes a couple of steps, moving into the outfield, throws to first, just gets him. One out.
Robbie did not make that as pretty as usual. Rats. The Trop is a disease.
That was scary.
Evan Longoria: Cutter, 91, outside corner, swung on and missed. Same pitch, same spot, Longoria hits a line drive to deep left field. Not enough under it, Grandy with a good jump, raises his glove, and, on the run, makes the catch.
Two out.
Mo!
All Rise. Good work, Mo. Nice grabs by Curtis.
Mighty mo
All praise to Mo!
Matt Joyce: Cutter, outside corner--you know the one--called strike one. Same pitch, a little lower but still good enough, 0-2. (Joyce 0-7 career vs. Mo...). Goes back out there again, a little further outside, Joyce swats at it, lifts a fly ball to left. It's in foul territory, Granderson runs over, jumps up--not knowing if he's too close to the bullpen mounds--and makes the catch.
The replay showed Joe Girardi saying, "C'mon, Grandy, c'mon Grandy, c'mon Grandy." Handshakes.
5 pitches, 3 outs.
Let's say it again: All Praise Mo.
Mo be praised.
Thanks be to Mo.
