The Bus vs. Eveland, 7:05 our time.
I’m watching the Tour de France while I wait for the game to come on. Woooooo!
Pretty normal lineup, Johjima catches, Clement DHs and is protected in the order by Willie Boom-Boom Bloomquist.

That is a great ad behind home plate. 🙂
OK, then he just did an Adrian and got himself out.
silly Beltre….sigh we still love you!
amazing.
they just keep finding new ways to get out of an inning.
Kenji, come on.
Is there some complex mathematical model we can use to prove that this team is horrible at base running, or is the visual evidence enough?
Kenji did that on purpose, then called Crap Pitch #3 right down the pipe. Should make for some fun in the post-game.
Perfect time to tune in, nice meatball Bus.
Cannot stop the bleeding.
………and waashuburn needs to be pulled!
I think the Fairy Dust has worn off.
Why don’t they serve Rally Fries at away games?
No chance, Ibanez.
@62: I seem to remember them doing that in the past.
just who would you replace him with?
…keeping in mind that Burke is not available.
washburn’s still an asshole
Hiroki Kuroda of the Dodgers, through six innings, is throwing a… shhhh….
68 – and against Jorge Campillo of all people…
Our fastest three players are on base…I think.
But I guess it didn’t help.
it’s a wonder there isn’t more manager- strangling-player action in dugouts across America.
WHO THE FUCK ON THE BRAVES TRIED TO BUNT?!?!?
66… why, he only pitched one inning yesterday.
Sexson … King of the DP!
Bah! Double by Teixeria. Back to the M’s game. Huzzah(???)
Richie Vidro! Without Turbo in the game, somebody has to screw up any opportunities with a DP.
San Diego down by 1 in the 7th, Colorado won. Ues we have a chase to regain the cellar.
Kuroda lost the perfect game because ESPN said he was throwing one.
Vin Scully was talking about it for innings, as it is his job to do. Good announcers ignore that particular tenet of baseball religion.
I don’t understand Riggleman’s platooning/pinch-hitting strategies.
I just turned on the gamecast after not watching the game at all. The first thing I saw was J Vidro hit for Clement. Maybe Clement’s tired from all that hitting yesterday.
Nice outing for Washburn to go 8 innings for us here. Bullpen needed a rest.
Yaay! A-Rod’s kids get to suffer through a divorce! Hooray! Break out the champagne!
Yeah, that was weird and not very nice. But y’all? One of our broadcasters just used “schadenfreude” on the air. That’s got to be a win. Er, a metaphorical win.
83 –
It just infuriates me that the media will be saying what a trooper and team player he is. But he’s an asshole and he wasn’t pitching well, and he got lucky.
And he’ll probably have some more self-congratulatory comments about how awesome he was and how he could truck through eight innings tonight, but the bullpen couldn’t each just eek out one more inning each.
Jim:
J-lo – Don’t wriggle us into extra innings here. Swing for the fences. Home run = good. Single = bad.
And Madonna dumped a guy who, ironically, looked a bit like Jack McDowell for him — if the tabloids are accurate, that is!
Vin Scully was talking about it for innings, as it is his job to do. Good announcers ignore that particular tenet of baseball religion.
That particular tenet of baseball religion is that no one is supposed to mention the no hitter to the pitcher. So as long as pitchers don’t watch the broadcast of their own game, it’s all good.

Right, but if none of us talk about it either, then it’s like we’re actually on the team too. Or so we can pretend.
well, he is. It’s one of the few things he seems to have always done, suck it up for the team (in both senses of the phrase)
If we move to the NL West today we would only be 9 games out! Somebody call Selig and make it happen
That tells ya what a powerhouse division the NL West is these days.
