Biggest game in 21 years. Our magnificent beer fort appears prepared with full blackout. Would be more entertained with Ogden Nutting throwing out first pitch than McClatchy, but whatever.
Derek Bell takes over Washington, D.C., Gary Sheffield appears on TBS pregame panel...Poindexter should be very worried. Kozma trying to upstage Descalso! The nerve....
But Barmes was up with guys on first and second in a playoff game, you have to let a better hitter hit, so Mercer comes in later, although worse at fielding, the best guy left.

ReplyDeleteThere will be many ramparts to climb and volley from in the Beer Fort today.
ReplyDeleteTime for the Island of Dr. Morneau to launch a volley over the fence.
Although current Steelers would not at all be up to the task, fans must block and tackle other fans if necessary to prevent aid of the enemy.
ReplyDeleteBoth Petey and Martin have taken Poindexter deep, expecting more of the same today.

ReplyDeleteReady for entertainment. Light show and some extra fireworks primed.
ReplyDeleteGood first potch strike call.
ReplyDeleteNice crowd.
ReplyDeleteNon strike strikes, entertained.
ReplyDeleteHoly WIDE strikezone Batman!
ReplyDeleteByrd rescues ALL OF THE HOSTAGES!!
ReplyDeleteThe BYRD man delivers the first volley from the Beer Fort.
ReplyDeleteCoco Beware
DeleteAt end of pregame, Bucs were unanimous pick by Sheffield, Pedro Martinez, Verducci, Keith O., and basement nerdy guy.
ReplyDeleteSTFD Freese.
ReplyDeleteAll the red hostages belong to Frankie!
ReplyDeleteZagurskied.
ReplyDeleteEntertained.
ReplyDeleteBarmOUT
ReplyDeleteThe BYRD man coming up big pushed near the RF rampart.
ReplyDeleteIn the SHIFT we trust.
ReplyDeleteBoth Petey and Martin have struck out against Poindexter before, expecting more of the same today.
ReplyDeletePoindexter seems a bit peeved. Was the CMU library closed this morning? Pardon us while Marlon Byrd delivers the goods on both sides of the ball.
ReplyDeleteGot the bunt down.
ReplyDeleteBucs bunting circles around Cards, victory imminent.
ReplyDeleteVoices outside the Beer Fort heard saying, "The BYRD man is coming, the BYRD man is coming!"
ReplyDeleteLeadoff Cutch walk. PITCHFORKS AND TORCHES coming out.
ReplyDeleteOne of the most exciting plays in professional sports right there.
ReplyDeleteI don't understand that pinch hitting selection of Tabata at all, he hasn't hit in a great while. Heck just leave Barmes in.
ReplyDeleteLeyland continues to annoy me.
Highly entertained by sac fly and decision to PH Hasabata for Barmes up 1 in the 6th.
ReplyDeleteTabata finished year strong. You'd rather go with BarmOUT?
ReplyDeleteMercer makes the play, Barmes-style.
ReplyDeleteCardinals first base coach is something of a toucher. He's all over that guy on first.
ReplyDeleteI'd go with Hasabata in a heartbeat had he had some ABs semi recently instead of Hasn'tbata.
ReplyDeleteThen again I always start Mercer at SS to continue my belly aching and whining and complaining.
To finish, if Leyland thinks BarmOUTs is better defensively than Mercer, then why put Mercer in the game with a lead?
ReplyDeleteAlthough I feel Mercer is better defensively anyway let alone offensively.
This type of logic befuddles me.
But Barmes was up with guys on first and second in a playoff game, you have to let a better hitter hit, so Mercer comes in later, although worse at fielding, the best guy left.
ReplyDeleteThe Cards don't look they shower well, or at all.
ReplyDeleteZagurski 2.0 has too much surface area to shower efficiently.
ReplyDeleteBig test for Melancon --- heart of the order.
ReplyDeleteWow, that was a meatball pitch. Very unsharklike.
ReplyDeleteGet Melancon out of there.
ReplyDeleteBeltran is a freak.
ReplyDeleteWhoa, NFW saves the day.
ReplyDelete3-5-1 stfd
ReplyDeleteNeed to put Mets uniform on Beltran to get him aut.
ReplyDeleteDFP
ReplyDeleteEntertained by 3-4-1. Even more by GIDP.
ReplyDeleteGet out the lumber.
Cutch doubles and now wants you to STAND TFU!
ReplyDeleteDescalsoed!
ReplyDeleteThe Island of Dr. Morneau sends more laser beams at people than I have ever seen.
ReplyDeleteWonder what AFM was thinking there.
ReplyDeleteCan't blame Leyland for clueless baserunning.
ReplyDeletePaydro gonna have to earn this one.
ReplyDeletePetey with a chance to be a hero. Stargell ectoplasm ready to be channeled.
ReplyDeleteI double steal here to shake things up.
ReplyDeletePaydro is CLUTCH!!!!!
ReplyDeletePetey the Hero!
ReplyDeleteLOVE the squeeze call!
ReplyDeleteLeyland 2.0 gaining points with me.
Now to pile on.
ReplyDeleteBold squeeze call there. One of Molina's glue-on fingernails fell off?
ReplyDeleteTough to BUNT with Molina's makeup causing reflections off the bat.
ReplyDeleteMolina might cause someone to BUNT an eye out.
That's the spirit.
ReplyDeleteMartin rescues a hostage!
ReplyDeleteThe French Rifle with another volley from the Bastion.
ReplyDeleteLeaving this guy in to face Gaby?
ReplyDeleteHurr
ReplyDeleteDescalsoed again...
ReplyDeleteIt's OK Hunting Knife, Drag Queen Molina has a fingernail specialist among his entourage...Miss Thing used to work for RuPaul!
ReplyDelete3 more outs.
ReplyDeleteIn the SHIFT we trust.
ReplyDeleteAgain tomorrow!
ReplyDeleteBeer Fort aglow in fireworks yet again.
ReplyDeleteEctoplasm glowing from the Bastion.
Time to light the kerosene pumpkin.
ReplyDeletePitching my fork, teeing my orch.
