June 21, 201214 yr Way to go, Drew. Who said pitchers can't hit?If a pitcher drives in a pitcher and no one is watching, does the run count?
June 21, 201214 yr If a pitcher drives in a pitcher and no one is watching, does the run count?Only in a National League park.
June 21, 201214 yr OK, time to get him out of there. It looks like the magic stops after six tonight.
June 21, 201214 yr Son of Sal really saved them there, no way that ball is caught without his abilities in situations just like these. The verbal slathering Dickbert does over the Butera clan is nauseating.
June 21, 201214 yr The verbal slathering Dickbert does over the Butera clan is nauseating.I chose to listen to the Pirates broadcast.
June 21, 201214 yr If I say something nice about what Burton has done this season is he going to follow it up by imploding?
June 21, 201214 yr If I say something nice about what Burton has done this season is he going to follow it up by imploding?Almost certainly.
June 21, 201214 yr If I say something nice about what Burton has done this season is he going to follow it up by imploding?Better to not take the chance.
June 21, 201214 yr You missed a real gem this inning.That's why I chose to listen to the Pirates broadcast.
June 21, 201214 yr Really decent outing for Frankie though. Just no offense. Either we Get 15 hits or 5, 8 runs or 1. We can't seem to be consistent
June 21, 201214 yr That's why I chose to listen to the Pirates broadcast.I debated between Dickbert and an icepick in the ear. I lost.

June 21, 201214 yr Can somebody explain to me why Gardy chose the worst hitter of all the available ones to pinch hit?
June 21, 201214 yr Can somebody explain to me why Gardy chose the worst hitter of all the available ones to pinch hit?Savin' the better ones for extra innings? It's all I got. EDIT: in case it's not obvious, this was snark. Edited June 21, 201214 yr by USAFChief
June 21, 201214 yr If they tie the game and we need a pinch hitter later we have better options. No one on the bench is going to hit one out anyway so not a big deal.
June 21, 201214 yr Liriano deserves this win -- hopefully Perkins will end this thing.Liriano isn't in line for the win... Burton got the last out in the seventh.
June 21, 201214 yr Liriano deserves this win -- hopefully Perkins will end this thing.He certainly pitched well enough the first six innings. My only gripe is why didn't they have somebody ready to come in at the start of the seventh, just in case? I would have pulled him at the first sign of trouble - he's never gone this deep in a game this year, and when he tires, he tires quickly.
June 21, 201214 yr I missed the game -- got stuck at work and barely had time to check ESPN. I just watched highlights and it looks like Liriano's slider was filthy good, and Span made a great catch. Also, Plouffe and Willingham got solid, clutch hits.
