We are boiling turkey vulture, horses, and pigs above the portcullis of our mangificent beer fort.
We are also eyeing (hopefully) a little space on the beer fort wall. With mild re-arranging, there could be room there for another 8x10. But an 8x10 of--of Cutch? Pedro? Walker? Liriano? Byrd? It is pleasing to consider the possibilities.
Beer fort light show at seven-fifty-five. Cueto and Liriano at eight.
i feel like i'm about to go on a first date..butterflies, dry throat, staring at the clock
ReplyDeleteMe too. As often as the Pirates make the playoffs, you'd think that we'd be used to this.
ReplyDeleteActually, I know a cure for dry throat.
ReplyDeleteI predict the French Rifle will climb to the top of a Beer Fort Rampart and direct an Enfilade Fire from Liriano at the Red coats.
ReplyDeleteGood prediction.
ReplyDeleteDry throat: cured.
I'm as nervous as a whore in church!
ReplyDeleteRon Darling looks like he's spent quite some time in the Dandy House since retiring.
ReplyDeleteDynasty time - let's win this damn thing.
ReplyDeleteK
ReplyDeleteFrankie's getting his FILTH on. Wow, never seen PNC so packed and crazy - they look like they're gonna get out pitchforks and torches.
ReplyDeleteLiriano saying STFD!
ReplyDeleteBUNTing early leads to big psychological advantage.
ReplyDeleteCueto gained a little weight on the DL.
ReplyDeleteMarte not so good against righties.
Laser beams from the Island of Dr Morneau cannot seem to avoid OFs.
ReplyDeletePITCHFORKS, TORCHES
ReplyDeleteBYRDMANIA!
ReplyDeleteByrd says, "Is this not why you are here?"
ReplyDeleteHoka hey
ReplyDeleteEntertained
ReplyDeleteThe French Rifle climbs to the top of a Beer Fort Rampart and unleashes vat of boiled vultures! PNC crowd getting into Johnny's head.
ReplyDeleteFrankie singles!?! Cueto rehab start not looking good so far.
ReplyDeleteFrazier goes Sanchezing into the dugout.
ReplyDeleteNever more impressed with a 10th man--the black and the "CWAAAY TO" chant is absolute genius!
ReplyDeleteThe Reds Infield Grass Assault cannot penetrate the Bastion of the Beer Fort.
ReplyDeleteTime to score more runs.
ReplyDeleteExpert broken-bat bunt there by Cutch.
ReplyDeleteReds are not slouching on defense.
ReplyDeleteMight be time for the Reds to get Zach Duke up.
ReplyDeletePlayoff pistol whippings produce much entertainment.
ReplyDeletePetey rescues a RISP hostage with the third most exciting play in all of baseball after bunt and defensive shift, the SAC FLY. Entertained.
ReplyDeleteYes
DeleteSome of the whore washing off.
ReplyDeleteThat happens?
DeleteI don't know, Brandon Phillips still seems like a big attention whore, even with the few days off.
DeletePaydro delivers.
ReplyDeleteReds defense overwhelmed by Pittsburgh's advanced bunting techniques.
ReplyDeleteCUETO! CUETO! CUETO!
ReplyDeleteEntertained by HW blowing up!
ReplyDeleteAnnouncers telling story of Clint Barmes' broken collar bone carrying deer meat up a flight of stairs. Clint last first choice to carry World Series Trophy up Beer Fort ziggurat steps.
ReplyDeletelast choice not last first choice duh
DeleteBeanball is up there with the sac fly.
ReplyDeleteAgreed - beanball always entertaining.
DeleteWhoa, near miss.
ReplyDeleteNeed more runs.
ReplyDeleteAlso more Burton Baton.
And less Dusty Baker interview nonsense. Nobody wants to listen to him.
ReplyDeleteMarte partay
ReplyDeleteFat umpire blocks Marte's triple into double. PITCHFORKS AND TORCHES seem to be working so far.
ReplyDeleteSean Marshall. Not surprised to see him summoned for Walker.
ReplyDeleteGood time for a bunt here.
ReplyDeleteBunt Marshall's eye out
ReplyDeleteNFW! We will ADD ON!
ReplyDeleteBunt double --play even better
ReplyDeleteNFW doesn't know his strength - not every day you see a BUNT doubled off the wall.
DeleteMarshall takes the BUNT away from Cutch with the free pass.
ReplyDeletePretty exciting walk. Crowd going full yinzer.
ReplyDeleteThat Johnnie Walker Blue looks pretty tasty.
ReplyDeleteWhen did the Reds sign Zagurski?
ReplyDeleteNeil's secret all along: A SCOTCH FORT!!! HW marshaling troops for chrissakes! Brandon Phillips is "prime time" don't forget.
ReplyDeleteBottles in SCOTCH FORT glued together with GRIT!
ReplyDeleteGIDP also top five most entertaining plays in all of sports.
ReplyDeleteThis game has had it all. Now for some piling on.
ReplyDeleteClint Barmes is a f*&$king GAMER! Frankie then puts on BUNTing clinic.
ReplyDeleteLiriano hustling like Cueto down the line. Nice bunt
ReplyDeleteBarmas with a tip of the cap to Travis.
ReplyDeleteI like BarmHITs much better than BarmOUTs.
ReplyDeleteIt is all derived from the leg kick.
Cutch could have had that. Close
ReplyDeleteLove seeing the lefty ace mow down guys like Votto.
ReplyDeleteFrankie pours vats of boiling pigs on Votto and Phillips heads!
ReplyDeleteAnd cackles with glee!
ReplyDeletePaging ... Zach Duke. whoa
ReplyDeleteZach Duke looks a lot like Manny Parra. What are they feeding him?
ReplyDeleteMarlon already half-untucked.
ReplyDeleteHuh, never heard story about doctors considering to amputate Byrd's leg. Glad they didn't!
ReplyDeletePetey's gonna will one into the river.
ReplyDeleteNo quit in that Frazier.
ReplyDeleteGood stuff. Getting better.
ReplyDeleteYou don't usher for 95 years and not learn where's the Johnnie Walker Blue.
ReplyDeleteThe French Rifle climbs to the top of a Beer Fort Rampart and unleashes another vat of boiled vultures! Nice call, Travis.
ReplyDeleteThe French Rifle delivers the Coup De Grace...
ReplyDeleteWhat are they chanting now? Sounds like "whiskey bottle".
ReplyDeleteRussell Martin is now the Al Haig of this team. Clearly in charge. This TBS Network is an impressive high school outfit. Could they for once show us a bullpen shot so we know who might be coming in?
ReplyDeleteLike
DeleteMr. Watson, come here - I need you.
ReplyDeleteIowa Kid
ReplyDeleteSecurity, please escort the non-black-wearing knucklehead who just gave Choo the dinger out of the ballpark. His wife and daughter can stay.
ReplyDeleteHow do you even find a "light blue" t-shirt of that color? Where?
DeleteFan gets an E
ReplyDeleteE-10
ReplyDeleteLuckily this WILL NOT be Bartman 2.0.
ReplyDeleteThat second knucklehead should be tossed as well, fans should know better.
ReplyDeleteFans need to STFD in their seats and not aid the enemy.
ReplyDeletePretzel run.
ReplyDeleteA few more runs here. Why are the Reds saving Chapman? Not complaining
ReplyDeleteSecurity also needs to escort the guy with the Walker sign with his name misspelled "NEAL" twice. Idiot. Surprised TBS waited until the 8th to show the Bream slide.
ReplyDeleteFucking TBS.
ReplyDeleteNinth inning. Should be interesting. Grilli has not been lights out this last half month.
Maybe Grilli should hit someone here. Set up the GIDP
ReplyDeleteOr just get some outs. THat works
ReplyDeleteGame 1 is Thursday?
Yes, 8:30 PM EDT.
DeleteGotta love Latos yelling at fans from the dugout.
ReplyDeleteI would reply back when is your tee time tomorrow???

DeleteThe beer fort successfully defended! Entertained!
ReplyDeleteBeer run time, then ON TO ST. LOUIS!!!
beer fort laser zeppelin on Rowdeo drive.. be there! be there! be there!
ReplyDeletedamn it, that was a beauty, i mean a beauty!
where are you Gino Cimoli?!?
Keystone Lights were $1 at Jimmie O's tonight, I'm wearing it .
ReplyDeleteMy English wife said It sounded like an English soccer crowd. She thought it was cruel they were chanting the opposing pitcher's name and not rooting for their own batter. And I said this is what your people do, they get into the opposition's head, that's what they do...and then two batters later Martin hits his first home run and Cueto is shitting himself on the mound.
ReplyDeleteThe PG explained the Cue-to chant as hockey fan behavior, which I thought was pretty spot on.
ReplyDeleteOne of my favorite stories from yesterday was that Liriano showed up for his start with his suitcase, packed for St. Louis. He willed it.
