The 16-2 Pirates are looking for their seventeenth win here in game 15. (I'm a little confused about the new way they count wins, but get that it has something to do with HBP and sacrifice hits.)
Game underway just now. Detwiler and Burnett are the starters. Beer fort amply supplied with bourbon.
Inge in right and he airmails the throw that would have cut down ADDam LaRoche at home thinking about his deer stand and riding bikes and reading comics while playing the game.
ReplyDeleteIt would be Merciful to put Mercer at SS instead of Barmes.
ReplyDeleteSomehow I don't think it will happen.
Nice K.
ReplyDeleteGreat win - getting lonely up here in first place. Mercer only had 17 career bunts in the minors, but he had 34 HBP - including 12 in 2011. Guy knows how to go about his business day in and day out.
