The Sacrifice Bunt

[Bennyshoe]

Adam Lorache's brother is playing better than him right now

I really don't know why I'm still watching this game. Since I'm on PIT, I don't want to watch all this only to see Cubs get lucky sometime in bottom of 15th or whatever... no thanks.

Curiosity gets the cat, though.

Bottom of 14th... and already 1 out.

Laroche seems to think the lower the batting average the better jeez its down under .170

 

[Bennyshoe]

i'm in the same boat Calvin. I wonder when one team will say...screw it...and let the other team win so they can go home.

 

[theDonger]

I'll tell you what though... no matter what happens tonight-- you gotta love Pittsburgh again tomorrow versus a depleted Cubs bullpen... also given that the Cubs can't hit lefties for shit

 

[Drunkn247]

I feel like both these teams always end up in long ass xtra innings games.

I think its about time to start a Bucs extra innings rally thread. Bucs are a waste! But someone said the ump blew a call at 1st on Bautista's ground out! I hate sports officials they always determine the outcome!
:think2:

 

[CalvinTy]

Haha, with a runner at 1st... Cubs's Soriano swung badly at Ball 4 to end the 14th. Perfect symbolic summary of this game...

Nice play CUBS!!

 

[Bennyshoe]

two runners on..and NO out...they better get at least one damn run out of this

 

[Drunkn247]

Now we need Zach Duke to get a hit

 

[smartz]

wow. this is the best situation theyve had all game and we have to hope a pitcher gets a hit. dfknkrejgnier

 

[Ramonskee]

Cubs are out of pitchers, Pirates are the heavy favorite to pull this off. Now if they can only learn how to execute and run the bases and hopefully the umps wake up and start calling the game properly, Bucs will win this one.

I forgot to also throw in "hopefully the Cubs start getting sleepy and start making mistakes".

 

[Drunkn247]

Someone better get a damn Sac fly at least..

 

[Bennyshoe]

one out...two more outs for the Bucs to get nothing out of this opporunity and for us to hate them even more

 

[CalvinTy]

WOW! After a hit, the Bucs actually bunted (and an error on Cubs's 1B Lee trying to throw to 2nd).

Then, the Bucs bring in P Zach Duke to come in to bunt as well. He fouls 1st pitch... next pitch, the runner took off too quickly on a ball & the catcher throws to 3rd base, but the 3B guy was in the way for the SS (who was covering 3rd base) to get the ball!! LOL!

Funny sequence of events no matter what happens!

(2nd/3rd, no outs... Zach Duke still batting... he swings for a K. Now 1 out.)

Great... a tease. HBP to load the bases up. Sheesh.

[Ramonskee]

4-3 Pirates.

 

[Bennyshoe]

okay..bases loaded with one out..what more could we want right now besides a run?? Get one!!

 

[smartz]

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!. i feel the double play coming now

 

[Bennyshoe]
