    Interesting - Bochy is playing matchups here, not something you usually see in ASGs.

    Edit: Of course, you can do that when you still have pitchers left.

    Does Heath Bell always do that? That's freaking hilarious

    Is it being annoyingly entitled to hope the Red Sox trade for Heath Bell if people have been talking about him being traded non-stop already? I am really liking the guy even without seeing him pitch much.

    298 - I love Zooey. But it's amazing how much she's managed to coast on so few actual memorable performances.

    Given what Washington has done so far, he will now change pitchers with every pitch JUST because he can.
    312. hokieneer posted on July 13, 2011 at 03:10 AM #  hit 0 | hit 0

    Washington hasn't done #### for managing his pitching staff all night, until Bruce comes up and then he goes to the lefty. ####

    Man, it is a crying shame that Harrison Ford has never done a straight western other than episodes of Gunsmoke and The Virginian early in his career.
    Since he made his bones, how many non-Eastwood straight westerns have even come out? (Serious question, I don't follow the genre closely.)

    Not sure - Deadwood kills it for me in any case - epic

    Silvarado is all I can think of before I google

    Seeing as how Hanrahan was warming up, I predict Hanrahan will take out the first out, then the beard will come.

    Wow, the game is moving right along despite Fox's efforts. Barely 2:30 since the actual first pitch and we're into the ninth inning.

    Does the "3:10 to Yuma" remake count?

    314 - Not many; it's a pleasant surprise when something like 3:10 to Yuma or The Quick and the Dead shows up. Which is a shame, because the ones that do get made are generally pretty good, and that Cowboys & Aliens preview makes it pretty clear that Ford would have been great at it.

    Just in the last few years

    Open Range-highly underrated

    Hidalgo--good fun

    Broken Trail--blah

    3:10 to Yuma--Well done remake

    No Country For Old Men--Just because it was d*mn entertaining

    Appaloosa--Viggo again

    Does Hidalgo count as a Western? I say no.
    328. Eric J can SABER all he wants to posted on July 13, 2011 at 03:18 AM #  hit 0 | hit 0

    And the FOX caption identifies Wilson as Jose Valverde, which is at least kind of amusing in its incompetence.

    If only that error could have come on the earlier play on which Buck declared a ball hit to Castro a groundout before the throw...
