5/30 - Beat the birds.

[The Dustball]

Oh man. Timlin up in the pen. We really have to score right now or our s***** bullpen will definitely be exposed.

[Beaneater]

Stop swinging at the first pitch.

 

That is all.

[The Dustball]

Nice. Now send him.

[Beaneater]

Oh man. Timlin up in the pen.

 

I assume you meant Papelbon. With the big boppers coming up next inning, Papelbon should be warming.

 

What's that? You really did mean Timlin? So he can give up another walk-off win? Sigh...

[Thumper]

Game would have been over when the guy on 2nd scored unless I'm missing something. The guy on 1st was totally irrelevant' date=' other than the fact that he created a force situation at 2nd. And it was an IBB. In other words, intentional. In other words, Tito told him to. No need to get on Hansen for that.[/quote']

 

That's my mistake I thought there was only a runner at 1st.

[Beaneater]

Nice. Now send him.

 

That's looking like the smart move after the Ellsbury single, eh?

[Beaneater]

That's my mistake I thought there was only a runner at 1st.

 

Roger that.

[The Dustball]

And we strand the runners, not surprising. Does Tito bring in Timlin?

[Thumper]

Good call on Timlin.

 

f***. YOU. TITO.

[Beaneater]

How did Ellsbury end up out at third on a non-force play? Bad baserunning?

[The Dustball]

Haha and I acutally thought that I wouldn't have to stay up late to watch the game tonight.

[a700hitter]

How did Ellsbury end up out at third on a non-force play? Bad baserunning?

Interference.

[The Dustball]

How did Ellsbury end up out at third on a non-force play? Bad baserunning?

 

They called him out for interference.

[Thumper]

Yay! Runner in scoring position and Timlin is on the mound! What could POSSIBLY go wrong?

[Beaneater]

Interference.

 

So... that would be a subset of bad baserunning, right?

[Beaneater]

Yay! Runner in scoring position and Timlin is on the mound! What could POSSIBLY go wrong?

 

I can only think of one thing, really... it involves the guy on second running 180 feet with a 90 degree turn right in the middle.

I concur.

[The Dustball]

Mike Timlin really sucks, butttttttt THE CELTICS ARE GOING TO THE FINALS!!!!:thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

[Thumper]

f*** you Lugo. Nice grab Youk! 2 outs, I feel somewhat better but that damn runner on third.

[Beaneater]

Holy cow! I stopped following it when they were down 10 in the 4th quarter... and they end up winning by 8!?!? How the heck did that happen? (Off-topic, I know.)

[Beaneater]

And we survive an inning of Timlin by the hair of our collective chinny chin chin.

[a700hitter]

The veteran Timlin escapes without letting in a run.

[yeszir]

This is just a series of bad feelings one after the other.

[Thumper]

$5 Tito leaves Timlin in.

[a700hitter]

Make him pay for the error Papi.

[yeszir]

$5 Tito leaves Timlin in.

 

We've already gone through 5 relievers.

[Beaneater]

Surely the guy with the .358 batting-average-against is going to allow some runners.

 

EDIT: Never mind, Gamecast is lagging.

[Thumper]

We've already gone through 5 relievers.

 

s*** what's one more? He's already exhausted the bullpen with the exception of Lopez and Hansen. Okajima was worked, Timlin was worked, and Delcarmen was worked. If Timlin stays we're gonna lose 3 straight.

[The Dustball]

Haha it's ok Thumper, one of these days you'll predict Manny's 500th correctly.

[Thumper]

Yes Manny!
