Miggy Miggy Miggy, can't you see?
Sometimes your skills just hypnotize me.
And I just love your veteran ways,
You're unappreciated and under-paid.

The Braves and Pirates are going to the 15th
have to play a few more frames to approach our nightmare.
holy guacamole
That game went 19 innings.
Braves won, on a walkoff fielders choice RBI by Scott Proctor. Yes, the relief pitcher. It was his second at-bat of the game.
That means St. Louis is back in sole possession of first place. Milwaukee half a game back. Pirates 1 game back. Reds 5 games back.
All Things Bubba: Because how can you not love a baseball player named Bubba?
wow
This game went so long that catcher Brian McCann left after nine innings with a strained oblique, the Braves announced he would go on the 15-day disabled list and by the end of the game you wondered if he was healed and eligible to be activated again.
Sounds like Everyday Scott Proctor doesn’t use Twitter
It was just before 1 a.m. when Proctor – possibly the most lampooned Braves player since Greg Norton – became a trending topic on Twitter. Why? Simply because he was the Braves’ last non-starting pitcher left. He sat in the bullpen watching Tommy Hanson, Eric O’Flaherty, Jonny Venters, Craig Kimbel — Hah! The closer entered in only the ninth inning! – Scott Linebrink, George Sherrill and Christian Martinez pitch. Wonder how many games of solitaire he played?
The thought occurred that the Braves were trying to avoid bringing Proctor in, given he started the night with a 7.36 ERA. (The fact Martinez threw an improbable six shutout innings of relief, a relative "quality start," helped.) Any way, Proctor’s extending viewing became a running online gag. When told later he was trending on Twitter, Proctor said, "I was what?" You were a hot topic. "Oh, I’m sure. I’m not very well liked right now."
The winning run scored on a terrible call. Lugo was out by 10 feet, but was called safe. Game over. Umpire Jerry Meals said he thought it was a phantom tag. I suspect he just wanted to go home. The game was 6 hours, 39 minutes old by then, it was past 2 am, and he probably wanted to go to bed.

BP didn't think he was safe
Helllllllll Nawwwwwww…. Now that was maybe the funniest call safe I’ve ever seen… #NoVaseline
I've been watching it a mlb.com
on the “Must C” section. I am not certain he was out. He clearly SHOULD have been out, but the catcher did a swipe instead.

1:48 on that link. Not clearly out. All the others have the less best angle.

Meals himself admitted he probably blew the call.

I know the injuries have hemmed Dusty in, but I really don’t want to see Renteria and Cairo at the same time.
(Standard response is to cross out “at the same time.”)

i know, right?
being a colts fan is awesome. i’ve been saying it for years that we’re spoiled. just be wary of Stampede Blue. dude running that place is mentally unbalanced.
The leadership of RR appreciates your implied support
by Charlie Scrabbles on Jul 27, 2011 12:02 PM EDT up reply actions
no problem
that guy at stampede blue would hear about peyton manning getting a back massage and run with it, saying he might need surgery and that kind of bullshit, is it a hidden injury that he’s been hiding. utter and complete horseshit over there. then when people would call him out on it, he’d say ‘hey, i was just passing on rumors. i’m not a journalist.’ then he’d complain that the colts and nfl refused to treat him as a journalist.
Yeah
He treats the site like a dictatorship or something. There’s only four writers in the bottom panel thing (compared to RR’s 15). And he did that thing where he deleted all comments insulting/questioning him.

There was no break from the NFL this year
Camps haven’t opened yet and I’m already sick of hearing about it. I may not watch a game.

FINALLY!!! GO GO GO GOMES
Of course, i’ll probably still be watching fred lewis most of the time despite Yonder’s presence. Can you believe what they got for Gomes? That pitcher looks alright. I’d barely offer a used condom, a 40 and a Ryan Freel rookie card for Gomes.
by BigRedBeastrain on Jul 27, 2011 1:50 AM EDT reply actions
The one player was trash, but the reliever has a really good K/9 rate.
The only problem is that he is in A ball. But, what else could you expect for half a season of Gomes?

Apparently a lot of whatever.
You should have gotten drunk. Probably would have been more entertaining.
POTG
Johnny Cueto, who gave up six runs, none earned. 5 IP, 7 hits, 6 runs, 0 ER, 2 BB, 5 Ks, 0 HR. Dang. He’d have gone more than 5 innings if not for those errors.
He was also gracious in defeat, saying it was part of the game and no one wants to make errors. I hate to think about what Volquez would have said if it happened to him.
Honorable mentions: Joey Votto, despite the error. 2 for 4 with a walk and a home run. And Chris Heisey, 2 for 4 with a double (and his first fly out almost went out).
Goats of the game: Miguel Cairo. I love ya, Miggy, but it looks like you need some time off to rest. One error, a bad play not ruled an error, and 0 for 4 at the plate. And Jay Bruce. He was 0 for 5 with the golden sombrero, plus the should-have-been-an-error in right field.
All Things Bubba: Because how can you not love a baseball player named Bubba?
additional goat-lite, althought it likely wouldn't have mattered
Hernandez. Two outs on first.
Yonder hits the ball and CMM is trotting to second watching the ball… is he making sure it is fair? is he making sure it isn’t caught? I’m not sure why he did that. Probably he wouldn’t have been sent home, and probably he wouldn’t have scored… but what if the RFer botched it.

.
When you give up 6 runs, earned or not, there is some responsibility due to the pitcher. No room to complain.
An error that leads to a run on a sac fly that should have been the third out? Sure. Blame the D only. Six runs? Shoulda been stopped somewhere.
A Ongreed the Deserving
-coviner's lawful neutral Paladin / Debutante character
yeah
Cueto made some mistakes of his own. That HBP was costly.
Still…it’s not like it was one error here. It was 3 scored errors, and 2-3 more plays that probably should have been. That’s just brutal.
All Things Bubba: Because how can you not love a baseball player named Bubba?
Normally I would agree with you
but Cueto gave up three legit hits in five innings and hit one batter (and had two walks, but one was bogus).
This was all on the defense.
expectations are premeditated resentments - cheshirecat
I didn't know Bruce
had a golden sombrero and one of the Ks was against Byrdak with the game on the line—blech!
why
is it so hard for us to get back to back wins???
this is why i think we should get a bat if possible, as opposed to a pitcher. our pitching will forever SUCK.
because when you're a bad baseball team
You lose more often than you win.
This game was a sucky succubus cuntfag of suckitude. Jay looked really, really bad. Want to do something fun/sad? Look up the Gomes’ 2010 stat line month to month, remind yourself how much shit we gave him for it, and then compare it side by side to Jay’s 2011 month by month.
Then, grab another tissue to wipe away the tears.

dink, dunk, dribble
A lot of those weird hits this game. Shit that happens when your best D isn’t out there.
Some would have happened anyway, but that dribbler that tipped off Cairo’s glove then off of Renterias feet should have been fielded by the 3b.

We have a fully qualified 3B and a better-than-average SS who was off a 3-hit night
Neither one of them was playing.
How dare you libel a perfectly nice creature like the Giant Waxy Monkey Tree Frog by comparing it to a Frenchman.
Judging from the comments around here lately,
everyone seems All Out of Love for the Reds this year.
Come What May, Here I Am, Taking the Chance that the Reds can still make the playoffs out of Nothing at All. I may not be Lost in Love with this team like I was last year, but Even the Nights are better when there’s Cincinnati baseball.

Encouraging!
Yet, foreboding.

I sort of hate to win, since it means two more days of misery will surely follow.
It ain’t the long fall that hurts.
It’s the sudden stop.

predictions winners
Monday: Jack Armstrong (even though he said the braves and not the mets), Ewok, and DannyGraves (even though it took 5 minutes to figure out which team was which)
Tuesday: only 2 people had the Mets winning. one was 6 runs off and the other was 7 … nobody should get the point, but by definition it goes to Ram27
i have a witty signature thought up, i just haven't posted it yet.
Definition!
Yay!

I woulda been exactly right about the Mets-Reds game
if you take out all the unearned runs :(
