And just like *that* Derek Lowe squanders a 5-run lead.

 

[bucknuticus]

Woot woot! Keep it coming reds!

 

[Runus]

Braves finally get some runs and Derek Lowe promptly blows it.

 

[carlos]

haha, and people wanted to keep DLowe since he had "turned a corner"....should've traded him while he was worth something (at least gotten rid of that contract)

 

[Sharp]

Braves finally get some runs and Derek Lowe promptly blows it.

Wasn't someone here saying just last week "so is it safe to assume Derek Lowe is a genuinely good pitcher again"?

 

[The Frankman]

Pelfrey for Lowe and Venters. A legit sinkerball pitcher in Citi Field...

Didn't Lowe then throw Torii Hunter a slider that slid right out of the ballpark?

 

[Lambtron]

Anthony Swimswam is bossing up.

Didn't Lowe then throw Torii Hunter a slider that slid right out of the ballpark?

I refuse to believe that. That would've meant Hunter made contact with a slider instead of flailing helplessly at it.

You say that like teams actually wanted to take 3 years and $45 million left for a guy that lost 10 games and had a 4.67 ERA.

Nobody fucking wanted him. That's why they ended up trading Javier Vazquez.

 

[carlos]

nah, Venters is going nowhere, dude is too good.
would do Lowe for Beltran as a bad contract swap, though

Nah, I'm talking about this year, after he had a good stretch; it was reported on mlbtraderumors that teams were asking about him, but the braves wanted to keep their SP depth

 

[The Frankman]

Look, if you want to deal Lowe you gotta give up something. Fuck trading Beltran for Lowe straight up, Beltran is healthy enough (.920 OPS). Braves would have to give up something besides Lowe.

Fine, you have have McLouth too then. He's not going to have a job anymore if Schafer keeps this up.

 

[carlos]

You know beltran is just going to break down at any moment, why take the risk

 

[The Frankman]

He takes great care of himself and so far has played virtually every day in RF. he may break down, but it's not going to be anytime soon. 4-5 years of .290 AVG, .850+ OPS and 17-20 HR's not good enough for teams? Mets will pay alot of salary in the trade anyway.

 

[Mr. Enigma]

Of course the Reds take the lead on a 2-out, RBI single by the relief pitcher...

 

[The Frankman]

I won't kill Bay that AB, was a victim of large but consistent strike zone.

 

[The Frankman]

Pelfrey is at 100 pitches after that groundout. Where is the bullpen activity? Don't risk not having anyone up this inning TC.

 

[UberTag]

No-hitter done in Minnesota.
Angels just got their first hit after 7 1/3 innings.

 

[The Frankman]

NOOOOOOOOOOO Anthony Swarzak lost it!

 

[dvolovets]

Haha, the Twins are going to lose a near no-hitter. Oh-so-typical.

 

[The Frankman]

Very surprised Pelfrey is still pitching. Isringhausen is ready though.

Choke and die, Joe Buck.

 

[The Frankman]

Rollins singles, that's it for Pelfrey. Smart move by TC to bring in a lefty.

Standing O for Mike. Weird how good he is at home.

 

[sf2fanatic]

Pelfrey for Lowe and Venters. A legit sinkerball pitcher in Citi Field...

Didn't Lowe then throw Torii Hunter a slider that slid right out of the ballpark?

Hells yeah

I ws at the game..Still lol at Nate..what was his injury?

 

[The Frankman]

High curve to Utley, surprised he didn't throw a FB away. He just threw a curveball... even with Utley not 100% you can't miss that badly. Well at least a legit good start by Mike Pelfrey.

 

[Lambtron]

NOOOOOOOOOOO Anthony Swarzak lost it!

I knew it would be Peter Bourjos. He's been a pest so far this series.

 

[The Frankman]

Ugh Paulino... really? Please warm up Byrdak for Howard just in case.

EDIT: Why not just use Byrdak for Utley? I'm confused now...

 

[The Frankman]

8th inning again... and there were two outs... what is this Opposite Day? Pelfrey mowing them down and Mets pen blows it. Jesus.

 

[sf2fanatic]

what a pitchers duel in Minnesota...

Edit: Stop showing Mauer commercials

 

[Cathcart]

That was a nice play. Utley has been looking real good the past couple games (except for bumping into Jimmy last night). He's come back a lot stronger than I expected.

 

[dvolovets]

what a pitchers duel in Minnesota...

Edit: Stop showing Mauer commercials

For like, what a showcase of anemic baseball...

 

[The Frankman]

Wow Mets are using Dale Thayer and his awesome mustache? Mets have waived the white flag.

 

[The Frankman]

Another two-out RBI hit. Do the phils have all their RBis with 2 out?

 

[sf2fanatic]

Jepsen in the game....Game over



EDIT: I knew it...Why is that fucker still with the freakin Angels.......
Hes the new Brett Tomko

 

[Brinbe]

Poor Weaver

lol, nice win for the Twinkies

 

[dvolovets]

Poor Weaver

Hey, don't speak too soon, the bases are loaded and there's one out. Perfect opportunity for a double play.

Edit - never mind

 

[Macattk15]

Poor Weaver

lol, nice win for the Twinkies

Yep.

 

[The Frankman]

man Mets are hitting some bullets at people. Reyes, Turner, now Bay.

 

[sf2fanatic]

Garbage.....

Yes Im being salty...Back to the Tournament streaming

 

[UltimaKilo]

The Mets are garbage. Couldn't even hold that lead and help the Fish out. Marlins-Dodgers just started.

 

[UltimaKilo]

Nice. Chris Coughlin leads the majors in doubles.

 

[CygnusXS]

*cough*

I refuse to believe that. That would've meant Hunter made contact with a slider instead of flailing helplessly at it.

No... it was definitely a slider.

 

[sf2fanatic]

Hanley at .210? So much I pay attention to my fantasy league...LOL

 

[CygnusXS]

So Venters isn't just pitching every other day now, he's pitching 2 innings every time too. Still dominant.

 

[Macattk15]

Fucking Cano.

These umps and their fucking strike zones. God.

 

[CygnusXS]

Oh joy, extra innings. What a special treat; I can hardly remember the last time this happened!

 

[Macattk15]

Is this HP Ump fucking serious?

 

[Enron]

Is this HP Ump fucking serious?

hahahaha

 

[Mr. Enigma]

In Cincinnati’s joke of a park, Chipper, Conrad and Uggla’s shots are all long gone.

 

[Enron]

Linebrink is in


game is over

 

[CygnusXS]

Linebrink brought in early to keep the game nice and short.

e: well, you'll get 'em next time Scott.
