Phillips tried to steal third and home
after time out was called
"Hard being everybody’s hero, I suppose." - Buck O'Neil on Willie Mays
on the close up of BP
you could see him eyeing third and home and looking mischievious
"I never should have given up the animation rights."
3 sbs in one moment would've been something.
...because there's already someone posing as Jacob Brumfield
Phillips stole second
And since the Phillies had the shift on the throw was taken by Feliz. Once Feliz threw the ball, BP took off for the unoccupied 3B, rounding it and heading home. Problem was, time had been called.
"Got a bump on the ole noggin, but otherwise god. And I get a new vehicle probably, w00t!"
Very heads-up.
Too bad time had been called.

Better than a non-botched pick off play.
Then again, Freel is on the DL, so that would be unlikely.

you’re not suppose to PR for Dunn, but you also aren’t supposed to make an out at home.

I assume...
That not even Dusty is stupid enough to pinch hit for Co-Co if he comes to the plate in this inning.
I also assume that Co-Co does not take the bat off his shoulder, should he come to the plate with nobody out.

How was the soccer?
Did you stay dry?
"Got a bump on the ole noggin, but otherwise god. And I get a new vehicle probably, w00t!"
I am soaked to the bone
Due to torrential downpours, the soccer was delayed, then called after 15 minutes. I stayed out in the rain, probably for another hour, then went and watched the drum circle on the concourse, then finally went home. Where all the traffic lights were out. Fun!

My fun here was the power going out for an hour right at the start of the Reds game. Worse yet I had to entertain a seven year old and two year old with no electronic aids, being a father is such a pain in the ass sometimes. :)

that was more excitement than he showed in his last walkoff call… what a stupid, corny toolbox

It was actually hit pretty hard
BUT WHY THE FUCK WAS HE SWINGING??
Stupid, corny toolbox is about as perfect as you can get about Grande.
As I said, he should have taken all of the pitches and hoped for a walk.

"My wife ain't never ran and got me no pheasant." - Fistbands
what does this comment mean?
I thought that was a pretty awesome game
What do you mean, "blank slate"?
I suppose it should have felt exciting
but I thought it was an unattractive game: getting no hit for 6 and 2/3, the top of the order going 0 for 11, Dunn’s error in the eighth, the botched hit and run play, Cordero getting the greenlight to ground into a double play, the meta-ness of watching the umpire having to change out the balls so that Griffey could walk.
Even Myers no hit bid seemed kind of cheap considering he gave up 6 walks.
Voltron and Votto and Phillips had good games, and the score and many of the close plays should indicate and exciting game, but it seemed kind of meh to me.
Some muthafucka’s always trying to ice-skate uphill
i found the lack of scoring on our part frustrating
but voltron keeping up with myers to me was amazing. He got no run support, but he got shit done. He lowered his ERA again and took control of the strikeout lead… he just continues to impress. Every time he does that it cements in my mind that he’s the real deal and will be for a long time for us.
Also, i think winning Game 3 of the series was enormous. If we lose, we lose the series and are on the verge of being swept. now we’ve matched them for runs in the series, and if we win tomorrow (today) we will split the phillies and outscore them on the road. that’s basically winning the series. it would be a really nice way to head to pro player.
What do you mean, "blank slate"?
Winning - I'm for it!
That doesn’t mean I have to think it was an attractive game, especially when letting go of my anxiety immediately after the game ended.
Some muthafucka’s always trying to ice-skate uphill
Agreed
I’m really glad I went last night. First and foremost, watching Voltron mow down a good lineup was very satisfying. It was tough to see movement from where I was sitting but you could sure tell when someone was fooled on a changeup. And despite the eyesores like Dunn’s bobble and Hairston’s error, there were some pretty ones too – BP’s over-the-shoulder grab drew applause and Votto’s catch in foul territory was entertaining. Dusty also used the bullpen correctly, letting Bray go after the tough lefties and then bringing in Cordero to face Burrell. I was pleasantly surprised, expecting Dusty to only use Cordero to start the 9th.
Also, they showed Griffey and Edwin on the kiss cam, and everyone got a hearty laugh when they hugged.

Only hugged?
A-Rod kissed Andy Phillips when they were put on the Rangers’ kiss cam.
Then said it was the best kiss he’d had in a long time. (I wonder how his wife felt about that…)
Andy said it was something he could tell his grandkids about. (I dunno, Andy. In Alabama?)

They should get off their high horse. That site summarizes the Lord of the Rings movie trilogy with a screen capture from every couple seconds. That can’t be legal.
Probably not
But I suspect it’s not their “high horse.” It’s that they can’t afford to pay the bandwidth charges.
I have occasionally had my graphics “borrowed” via hot-linking. Ordinarily, I don’t mind, but sometimes, if they are large and/or hot-linked at a high-traffic site, I have to block it. If I don’t, either I have to pay hundreds of dollars in extra bandwidth charges, or my site is shut down for the rest of the month. (“I’m sorry, this site has exceeded its bandwidth limitations…”)
To add insult to injury, the last time it happened, the site that was stealing my animation was a Red Sox blog. It was posted at the top of an old game thread that hadn’t scrolled off the front page yet, so even though nobody was looking at it any more, it was loaded every time someone visited the front page.
Another time, someone was hot-linking a gigantic photo in their sig, and posting at a high-traffic rock music board. Not only was my bandwidth getting killed, I’m sure the people at the other board just loved loading that humongous image every time the kid posted a message.

As much as I like Volquez
I’m still on the Hamilton side. I’m dreadfully worried about losing Griffey and Dunn. With them gone, Baker will be able to push around everyone. And Patterson will be back because. . . “he’s our best option.” At least we had pitching in the pipeling. Outfield looks bleak with Bruce all by his linesome.
But, I’ll take it.
we've got freel to take the place of griffey
he’ll be the outfielder that misses most of the season due to injury

What do you mean, "blank slate"?
Wow. Sox-Royals
Royals tied it up in the ninth. Brian Anderson was just thrown out at third trying to stretch his double into a triple with 1 out in the 11th. Good outfield cover by the Royals after Teahan went for the dive and allowed the ball to roll to the wall.
Who's going down tomorrow to make room for Homer?
Herrera? That sucks. I’d like to see more of him. He handled the pressure really well yesterday.
