Helms...why couldn't someone be on base?

The Messenger-Herges-Petit-Pinto Axis.

DP please :plain How about bean him instead and break his hand.

Ugh! :confused

Walk? Just another run for when Helms belts one.

Intentional walk? Just another run for when Willingham homers.

Time to score (and make Hamels throw 40 pitches this inning).

Just grab a 9-run lead in the top of the 1st and everything will be fine.

Like I've said, we're closer to the playoffs now than we were on May 21st.

Lockup the wildcard by Oct 1 (or tie and force a playoff). That's all that matters.

We just went from 5.5 out to 4 out in one day. Anything is possible. (And the odds are a lot better now than they were on May 21st.)

Win here and Bucs win again and we're only 4 games out. Dont go there. You know what's gonna happen? They'll win every game from here on out and end up 1 game short. And then the real bitching (about no July 31 acquisitions) will start. I dont think so man. The dagger in the heart was the last 2 games against the Mets at home where we blew 2 8th inning leads against the Mets. The Masacre at Turner Field was just the salt in the wound Just remember the '04 BoSox. Down 3-0 to the Yanks in the playoffs and came back. Nobody (but me) imagined they'd come back to win The ALCS and The WS. My prediction was the Sox would tie it up 3-3 and from there anything could happen. Still pissed at myself for not betting it. Could've got 400-1 odds.
