Fucking bullpen gave that away. Congratulations, Bobby Howry, you got beat by Craig Counsell, you fuckhead. Get him with that 85-mph heat.

I'm going to unprofessionally take out my anger somewhere on this board.

I'm not going to support playing Ronny Cedeno, because Ronny Cedeno sucks, but I think we've squeezed the Ryan Theriot lemon dry. He's a AAAer at best, I fear.

Ugh, game postponed after a 5-1 Cardinals lead. Goddamn rain. I was starting to feel optimistic about the season too. :(

Not sure if it has been mentioned or not but a reminder that MLB Extra Innings is free for the opening week as usual. Only two games on right now though, Pirates/Braves and Rangers/Mariners. Braves are now on something called Peachtree TV.

I'm pretty sure Joe Torre is going to be known as God in these parts before long. Not that I would call him God, oh no.

Shoot, thanks for letting me know.

Don't really have anything to add regarding the Mets game, except that it was really, really fun to be there live. Fan ratio was about 3:2 in favor of the Marlins. Mets fans were being drunk jerks as usual. I saw Logan Kensing don a Naruto headband and do his Mr. Miyagi impersonation.

 

Goin' again tomorrow.

Juan Pierre's consecutive game streak ended with him not getting an appearance in today's game. It's too bad, in a way. He's the same player he was when the Dodgers inked him to that deal. Not a good one, but still the same.

In a perfect world, he's have a center field job somewhere for a non-contender. He's not a great outfielder, but he's probably better than some starter out there in the majors.

Pujols had a great shot in the game, but now they have to face Kip Wells. Scared yet, Cards fans?

 

I'm glad it got postponed to when I could actually watch it.

Pittsburgh blows a five run lead in the bottom of the ninth thanks to a single, a bunch of walks, and a misplayed fly ball.

 

Yep, they're still the Pirates.

I see Brian Giles is batting leadoff for the Padres. Has he ever batted leadoff before?

Yeah, 78 games last season. He also started 20 games leading off in 1997.

 

Never knew that he had batted leadoff before. For some reason whenever I saw Giles in the leadoff spot I kept thinking it was MARCUS GILES.

If you have Comcast, I believe MLB Extra Innings is free this week, so you should be able to watch every game.

Blackout rules apply to MLB Extra Innings as well and MLB has some ridiculous blackout rules. I can still remember years ago during a free preview week of EI the A's were in Seattle and the game wasn't televised locally yet they still backed it out. Apparently if I were a real fan I should have flown Seattle and bought a ticket to see it person.

Pirates finally put the Braves away, winning 12-11 in twelve innings. Absolutely crazy game, rife with errors, unexpected big hits and the complete excavation of both teams' bullpens.
