Baseball Thread No. 17: Let's Get Dizzy, Mr. Dean

Don't worry. David Weathers is in.

 

And he's loaded the bases with nobody out.

 

Bubbler's smiling again.

 

Brewers take the lead. Salomon Torres in to close it.

 

Word on the street is the Jim Hendry is desperately trying to reacquire Michael Barrett so Carlos Zambrano can punch him again.

 

Reds have three runs, which came on a 3-run homer by Hairston.

Dusty Baker pinch-hits for Hairston with two outs in the ninth.

Dickerson strikes out to end the game.

Brilliant.

 

You are never allowed to doubt your team again sir. Take your fucking win and choke on it

 

Dusty is what he is.

 

Yeah, he's like every other manager who pulls a lefty/righty switch.

 

Yes, they came back to win, but it was still an awful performance. They needed two unearned runs. Sabathia drove in the first run (unearned) on a groundout and then set them up for a big inning by doubling. In that inning they loaded the bases with one out and J.J. Hardy grounded into a double play.

Got their second run on a throwing error and scored the tying run by grounding into a double play with the bases loaded and nobody out in the eighth.

They finally got a hit with a runner in scoring position when Cameron followed the double play with a single to put them ahead. But on the whole, that was not winning baseball, it was a game against the Reds.

 

But is was, tony, a win. And that really is all that matters.

 

as of 6:47 p.m. Eastern Standard time, this 10th day of September, in the year of our lord 2008...I'm done with the Phillies for this season. Congrats, Mets.
