Queens Get the Money (Long Time No Cash)

thor

Thor’s on the hill as the Whirled Serious moves to Queens. Gonna be some noise tonight. The kid Ventura’s got the redass and it’s easy to see him unravelling if things get tight; on the other hand, I can see him being a stud and just shutting the Mets down. Hopefully, that won’t happen.

Pulling for the Mets to make this a series. Set up a big Game 4 tomorrow for Halloween.

Be nice to see all those Met fans cheering–loud and proud: “You Gotta Believe!”

Let’s Go Base-ball.

I like Raul but he looks like Cecil Turtle.

Wright rightens the ship

4 rbj   ~  Oct 30, 2015 7:44 pm

Pesky Royals.

5 rbj   ~  Oct 30, 2015 8:12 pm

Grandyman man can.

6 thelarmis   ~  Oct 30, 2015 8:17 pm

i'm happy for captain america and, especially, grandy but i find myself rooting pretty hard for the royales. kinda hoping they sweep!

7 thelarmis   ~  Oct 30, 2015 8:24 pm

well, damn. mets threatening bigtime here in the 4th.

8 thelarmis   ~  Oct 30, 2015 8:28 pm

muts playing royals-like baseball.

9 yankintexas   ~  Oct 30, 2015 8:28 pm

Mayber Hosmer should just DH?

10 thelarmis   ~  Oct 30, 2015 8:29 pm

another weird yost call. pulling ventura with the pitcher coming up. granted, thor got a hit last a-b, but still very strange...

11 rbj   ~  Oct 30, 2015 8:29 pm

I don't mind the Royals winning, just want baseball to last as long as possible

12 thelarmis   ~  Oct 30, 2015 8:30 pm

[9] he's better afield than kendrys. i was wondering why ventura didn't cover first? still, hosmer should've let zobrist make the play...

13 thelarmis   ~  Oct 30, 2015 8:30 pm

[11] i hear ya.

14 thelarmis   ~  Oct 30, 2015 8:33 pm

so weird to bring a reliever in to face a bunting pitcher in this situation.

15 thelarmis   ~  Oct 30, 2015 8:37 pm

yost = genius!

duffy strikes out thor and wins the left-on-left matchup versus curtis.

16 yankintexas   ~  Oct 30, 2015 8:43 pm

I miss Grandy. :(

17 thelarmis   ~  Oct 30, 2015 8:43 pm

that's a fine catch by the grandyman.

18 rbj   ~  Oct 30, 2015 8:45 pm

Grandyman can still move when he's Methuselah's age. Meanwhile, Beltran is a statue.

19 rbj   ~  Oct 30, 2015 8:56 pm

Runnerish? I guess that follows from hitterish.

20 Alex Belth   ~  Oct 30, 2015 9:09 pm

Big spot for Thor here...

21 kenboyer made me cry   ~  Oct 30, 2015 9:12 pm

Pryor should've been pulled...

22 kenboyer made me cry   ~  Oct 30, 2015 9:12 pm

Auto correct, Thor.

23 thelarmis   ~  Oct 30, 2015 9:15 pm

nowhere to put rios with the pitcher on deck. of course, it could be kendrys on deck...

24 thelarmis   ~  Oct 30, 2015 9:16 pm

got out of it...

25 kenboyer made me cry   ~  Oct 30, 2015 9:17 pm

Not really a phew moment for me, but for some friends and family, yup.

26 Alex Belth   ~  Oct 30, 2015 9:18 pm

Huge outski.

27 kenboyer made me cry   ~  Oct 30, 2015 9:20 pm

Funny how Thor gets changed to Pryor. Reminds me of something he said,
"I'd like to die like my father died... My father died fucking. My father was 57 when he died. The woman was 18. My father came and went at the same time".

28 Alex Belth   ~  Oct 30, 2015 9:37 pm

Huge night for D. Wright.

29 yankintexas   ~  Oct 30, 2015 9:54 pm

So according to Wikipedia Tim Burton was going to cast actor Ricky Addison Reed as Robin in Batman Returns but later removed the character from the movie. A shame since the Dark Night could have used his sidekick in game one.

i'm surprised hochaver didn't throw a second inning.
