Ugh Maeda, the 3 inning wonder.

karen said...

2-1 red team after 3.

karen said...

Kiki ties the game at 2 still in 4th.

Orel said...

I'm not optimistic about Kenta. It's not like he's going to get better as the season goes along

Orel said...

And here we are in the 6th with the lead

Orel said...

and Maeda still pitching

Johnny Blanchard said...

looks pretty good and I like Maeda's Spock eyes

Orel said...

Ha!

Johnny Blanchard said...

it's like the night before Superbowl here, with the anticipation for the softball. Everyone must be getting their rest.

karen said...

OMG! I fell asleep and now here we are at 5-2 in the 8th! Kenta out so we have a chance of walking away with the W.

karen said...

5-3. Maybe it's time to go back to sleep.

Orel said...

Rest up, Johnny B!

karen said...

Okay. Here we go...buckle up everyone.

karen said...

Wow, The K Man was locked and loaded tonight. Doesn't this put us over .500????

Johnny Blanchard said...

Damn right, Karen, the yellow dream brought it tonight. And did everyone notice Corey getting pitched around? That is a beautiful boy, with a swing to build a dream on.

CF Toles
SS Seager

karen said...

Toles opens bottom of 1st with a homer. 1-0 Boys.

QuadSevens said...

Toles is hit by the first pitch in husband second at bat.

karen said...

Q7...Hi! So glad you're here. I figured I'd be on my own tonight with our SoSG Softball team partying...uh, I mean playing softball.

karen said...

Great catch by Corey to save a run and end T4. Still 3-1 Red Team.

QuadSevens said...

Hi Karen. McCarthy does not look good tonight.

karen said...

4-1 with 2 out in T5. This game is starting to smell pretty bad.

QuadSevens said...

Wasted a leadoff double in the fifth.

karen said...

My man Chutley throws out red team guy at the plate for 2nd out in T6. However, still seems like this game is circling the drain.

QuadSevens said...

The hat shuffle is much more difficult this year. The contestant didn't win a hat, but I would have.

QuadSevens said...

Bellinger with his first bomb!

karen said...

Yeah Baby!! Bellinger hits his first big league homer. 4-2 B7.

karen said...

I was just about to post that Hatcher hasn't impressed me much and right on cue he gives up first career homer to Knapp...and on a 2 strike count.

Franklin Stubbs said...

I do not believe what I just saw!

karen said...

Yasiel just Puig'n hits a monster
in bottom of 9. Now Bellinger backs Puigs homer with his second of the night. Now it's a 1 run game and no outs in B9.

Fuck I need a drink.

JT makes it 3 in a row!!! tied IN 9TH.

fUCK THE DRINK i NEED SOME CRACK.

Franklin Stubbs said...

That bellinger shot was an absolute missile.

Cliff Beefpile said...

Playoffs!

Franklin Stubbs said...

That was rad.

Franklin Stubbs said...

The 3-ring circus bouncer to third was not as dramatic as B2B2B, but holy fuck I'll take it

karen said...

I am so hyper now I'll never sleep tonight!!! For 8 1/2 innings this was an UGLY game. I guess this just shows to never ever give up on our Boys!

Franklin Stubbs said...

This is the kind of win that can't generate momentum. Let's hope that's what happens.

Cliff Beefpile said...

Meanwhile, the giants are getting their asses handed to them by the Pods.

Orel said...

GAME 3
Toles CF
Bellinger LF
Turner 3B
González 1B
Puig RF
Grandal C
Taylor 2B
Hernández SS
Ryu P

Orel said...

Already losing!

Orel said...

Ryu limits the damage to one run in the 1st

karen said...

Orel...After last night don't lose the faith.

Of course Ryu IS pitching.

karen said...

JT picks up where he left off last night. 16 game hitting streak by singling in Toles (?)

1-1 in 1st.

Orel said...

Puig ends the rally with a GIDP. But at least we tied it up

Orel said...

@Karen, 1:29p: That game took the edge off my cynicism for sure

karen said...

Orel...You and me both.

Orel said...

Taylor power!

karen said...

CHRIS TAYLOR BABY!!! 2-1 Boys

karen said...

Damn you Orel.

Johnny Blanchard said...

See, the ball is carrying today in the heat.

Unlike our softball yesterday. Every damn inning we hit, it became cloudy and 50 degrees, which was uncanny.

karen said...

Terrific pick off attempt at 2nd.

karen said...

Johnny..I haven't had a chance yet to check out your pictures from yesterday. I promise I will after today's WIN.

I'm a little bit cocky after last nights win.

Orel said...

@Johnny: Giving the team that donated the most total control of the weather may have been too much

Johnny Blanchard said...

yeah I'm all for charity but c'mon

Cliff Beefpile said...

Toles with another dinger! 5-1 Blue.

karen said...

ANDREW TOLES!!! 3 RUN BLAST. Boys lead 5-1 in 6th.

karen said...

Hi CliffyB!! You're starting to post 2 seconds ahead of me like Orel!!

Cliff Beefpile said...

@Karen, I think I might be from the future! :D

karen said...

CliffyB....That was a crack up, I'm laughing my behind off!!!

karen said...

Get your brooms out!

Cliff Beefpile said...

Damn. Herrera crushed that one.

Cliff Beefpile said...

Win! Let the party-making commence.

karen said...

Sweep Baby!! Boys 5 - Red Team 3.

rbnlaw said...

Party-made. And continuing.
