I was just thinking while Counsell was up (I checked back while typing to see that he'd struck out) that this IS (err, was) the time and place for a sac bunt. Heh.

[JohnBriggs12]

I'd put in Bush to PR here.

 

No need now.

Boy, never have I heard Ueck sounding so old. He's messing up names (Seth McClung=Nate McClouth), and on plays where there is a lot of action, he's just so slow on the description. Often times you hear the crowd roaring before he comes in with what happened. And while he's never been perfect on the names, I don't recall him being this bad at actually calling the game. It just seems like he's speaking slower, and really unsure of himself. Hate to see it, but the guy's like 70 plus. It was bound to happen sometime. Anyone else agree?

He's getting pretty bad at painting a picture for the listener, but hes still hilarious. I'm torn - I grew up on the guy

while it sucks i due agree, it is starting to sound like your grandpa who retells the same funny story about you every time you see him. First time i noticed it was the last time he was The Tonight Show, his jokes were somewhat forced and only got token laughs.

 

[afeter]

weeks hero time

[Oldcity]

So who pitches the ninth if it's tied? Only options I see are probably Torres or... Turnbow?

[HOF4canrake]

Mota stays in.

[BrewCrewForever]

Is Gagne warming up if we score?

[GoudaBrew]

Is Gagne warming up if we score?

Yes

[Blancofan1]

yeah Gagne is up in the pen

[afeter]

too bad we didn't bunt him over

[BrewCrewForever]

Come on JJ, bring home The Hurricane!

[Paulus88]

I think we can all agree now is not the time for a sac bunt

[PrinceFielder28]

come on JJ...just a bloop single.

[BrewCrewForever]

I think we can all agree now is not the time for a sac bunt

Yeah I would agree with that for sure. Now is the time for a base hit please.

 

[olliegjw]

too bad we didn't bunt him over

but we had a better chance for four runs that inning by not bunting

[PrinceFielder28]

Ron Villone is warming...how is he still in baseball?

[BrewCrewForever]

Damn.

[afeter]

too bad we didn't bunt him over

but we had a better chance for four runs that inning by not bunting

 

--nothing like being arrogant and combative. needed one run.

Not sure why this is in blue, since it's true.

 

[bthurley19]

If Turnbow comes in, it's over.

[SeriesFinale]

Hope that wasn't our last best chance

 

Edit: But it sure feels that way...

[sargennm]

If Turnbow comes in, it's over.

He won't it will be Mota for at least one more inning.

That's why it's in blue. That means sarcasm. One run would have won this game. First inning, don't bunt. Ninth inning, bunt.

[bthurley19]

I have a bad feeling about this at-bat with Skip

[True CryM]

6 straight breaking balls?
