Wonder if BP will be back in the line up..
This team is starting remind me of the ’61 team…nobody thought they would compete either..

“Never thought I’d be on a boat
On a deep blue watery road.”

hard to argue with either, 2 home runs and triple is pretty good and hard to do too.

LOVE ’em!

is Matt Belisle once threw a complete game.

I agree – Jay Bruce and his long balls (heh) = TJNMHSG

Jay Bruce:

“We came in here and took care of business,” Bruce said of the 6-3 home stand that included a sweep of Houston. We’ll go on the road on a roll with some momentum. We plan on coming back in first place."

That Bronson Arroyo hit a double (pretty close to) this Memorial Day weekend.

now pitching for the rangers

Awesome game from Bruce. I was at the game on Sunday and he looked awful. I hope that this is a sign of him turning it around.

I think we should take 2 of 3 from the Brewers, and at least split with the Cards.

One and a half hours of “Trapped in the Closet” on IFC!

this is some wicked traffic for a post-game thread at midnight

I propose the dusty and Dick show.
They’d talk about the game and give us insight into the moves they made etc.

Dick: ‘Hi, welcome to the Dusty Dick show, I’m Dick’
Dusty " For real you are man, and I’m Dusty Baker Red’s manager. Well Dick we had a pretty impressive outing from Bronson tonight, wouldn’t you say"
Dick" No kidding Skip, you know before the game he throwing up all over the place, I wasn’t sure he was going to be able to pitch, but Mark Berry got him some kind of ‘jiuce’ and that seemed to calm his stomach"
Dusty" I was pleased to see Jay Bruce get the bat on the ball tonight too"
Dick “Who…?”
Dusty" Anyway we have Bronson Arroyo here and…Bronson what’s happening man, you’re really in a groove right now"
Bronson " Dude, hell yes, you know I had some thumb problems from doing bar chords on Tequillaville and then my boat wasn’t running smooth. But you know I try to just stay mellow and I work before every game with Mark Berry – he my sport’s psychologist connection"
Dusty “Nice to get some offense from Jay Bruce..”
Bronson" Who…oh you mean the’ I wanna be Adam Fucking Dunn’ guy? Hell all he wants is $100 Million… "
Dusty “Well our time’s up say good-bye dick”
Bronson “Good-bye Dick”
Dick"Who…"

Did anyone here Brantley re: Taveras staying within the baselines on the error play? I’m pretty sure he said it “was not an ingross justice.”

As a player and an announcer.

Here’s a good baseball story from Pete Rose:
The father of a beer belch that could knock down every drop of loose water in the locker-room shower was, of course, Babe Ruth. “When the Babe left the train for the ball park,” relates Pete Rose, as if Rose were not only alive then but could still smell the yeast, “he would remind the porter to have the bathtub full of beer by the time he returned.” Rose got the story straight from Waite Hoyt, the late pitcher and alcoholic, who along with Third Baseman Joe Dugan was a pallbearer at Ruth’s funeral in August 1948. “I’d give $100 for a cold beer,” Dugan whispered to Hoyt, who murmured, “So would the Babe.”

And so would Mads…
