Ground ball holds the runner.

6 outs away.

Man... what a game from Frankie. Hats off to you, sir!

Russell Martin is getting drunk and laid tonight.

 

[RobToxin]

And Russell Martin hasn't been too shabby either.

Liriano really stepped up for us. Let's look at what this year's new acquisitions have done today:

Liriano: 7 IP 4 H 1 BB 1 R 1 ER 5 K
Morneau: 1-3 1B, BB
Byrd: 1-4 HR R 2 RBI
Martin: 3-4 2 HR 2 R 2 RBI

I had to add in the Martin homer while typing this post!

 

[RobToxin]

Liriano chant now.

Here we go, Tony.

Watson's really got his good fastball tonight. It's playing on the inner half and looking un-square-up-able.

 

[Darkstone42]

These fans are jumping on every pitch. I love it.

 

[Darkstone42]

One too many fastballs in.

 

[HammerDown]

That fan looks so embarrassed.

 

[RobToxin]

He should look embarrassed. Grown adults who do stupid stuff just to get a baseball should be embarrassed.

 

[Darkstone42]

And another idiot turns a single into a double. Pay attention if you're in the first row!

 

[HammerDown]

If you are sitting in the front row anywhere in the stadium, you should be mentally prepared to NOT touch the ball unless it's going to hit you in the face. Just amazing twice in one inning.

Good job guys, you deserved this win. Now go and stomp the Cardinals, I hope you guys go all the way I really do.

That's true. I'm glad for that fan or he'd be in hiding tomorrow.

Who will pitch the 9th for the Pirates?
