I guess Davey has decided to finally come to peace with the fact that Desmond just isn't a leadoff hitter.

That's certainly a good thing, but frankly it shouldn't have taken this long for him to accept something so blatantly obvious.

Speaking of Desmond, he's quietly been on a roll lately. Nice job Ian!

Five Ks already for Nat Gio through just two. It won't be long before he's got the major league lead!

Dammit! If Flores just keeps his feet down low instead of way up in the air right there, he beats out that tag.

Nice job getting out of that jam there. Unfortunately that inning really put a hit on his pitch count though.

6. Joey B. has ignited his October #Natitude Posted: May 21, 2012 at 08:07 PM (#4137268)

Ian with another ribby! I love him in this spot right here the way he's going right now.

You know a pitcher is really good when he's struggling with his release point the way Gio is tonight, and he's still shutting the other team down.

8. Joey B. has ignited his October #Natitude Posted: May 21, 2012 at 08:49 PM (#4137313)

That was an unbelievably gutty six innings right there in tough conditions, on a night when he didn't have his A+ control. Gio, you are freaking awesome, man.

9. Joey B. has ignited his October #Natitude Posted: May 21, 2012 at 09:00 PM (#4137327)

Hey umps, feel free to call the game if you feel like it, we won't mind.

10. Joey B. has ignited his October #Natitude Posted: May 21, 2012 at 09:21 PM (#4137356)

Ummmm, why is Clippard not warming up in the bullpen?

11. Joey B. has ignited his October #Natitude Posted: May 21, 2012 at 09:23 PM (#4137360)

And the Phillies fans, aka the most moronic neanderthal sports fans in America, are booing Hunter Pence for popping up, even though he's one of the only guys who has been hitting for them all year.

12. Joey B. has ignited his October #Natitude Posted: May 21, 2012 at 09:31 PM (#4137372)

Uh-oh, Henry is coming in, and the mound is all wet and conditions are lousy. Hang onto your seats folks, it's nail-biting time...

13. Joey B. has ignited his October #Natitude Posted: May 21, 2012 at 09:42 PM (#4137387)

Pineapple face, get your sorry ass off the ####### mound, into the clubhouse, and out of my sight before I throw up all over my hi-def television. You make me sick.

14. Joey B. has ignited his October #Natitude Posted: May 21, 2012 at 09:52 PM (#4137393)

Phew, Burnett bails us out again. Bang, zoom, it's another edge-of-your-seat Curly W in the books!
