He did. Fortunately.

Yeah, I mean runners on the corners with no outs and a pitcher who doesn't K batters is obviously worth the risk of an out or a run there.

Don't ever mother**** with Yadi Molina.

Well that's about as good of a throw as you're going to see all season.

And you'll see him make that throw another 10 times this year. He's truly an amazing asset behind the plate.

On to the 17th inning stretch...

What the ****. I turned to my local Fox news channel to catch the 10pm news and the Mets and Cards are still scoreless? Do they both suck that bad, or has the pitching been that good?

And we cross the 10 ET mark. Just gonna take the whole FOX schedule down.

Going 0-7 or 0-8 in a game like this has got to suck, but the bright side is, you can get an entire slump out of the way in one day.

See, there you go. Already blown through all the primetime and into the local news.

And we go to the 18th...

JFC LMAO

Ryan Ludwick couldn't have had a worse game on purpose.

Him, Ryan and Holliday have put forward a trio of suck unseen in a looooong time.

Felipe Lopez on to pitch for the Cardinals! LMAO

I know. How will people live without those episodes of "Cops" and "America's Most Wanted". LMAO

Kyle Lohse in LF! This game has officially entered the Twilight Zone.

****. We couldn't move up someone's ****ing side session by a day?

Lopez with that 76 mph gas! LMAO

Crap, he's already doing better than Farnsworth. Sign him up.

Yeah, he looks pretty good. I always find it interesting how many athletes can play out of position. A lot of NFLers can play emergency QB or kicker and do a decent job.

ROFL ROFL ROFL

Lopez has thrown a 4 seamer, a change, and a curve all in this AB.

Wouldn't it be cool if this guy has some wacky clause in his contract, like, "If he strikes out an opposing player, he gets a $500,000 bonus"? LMAO

WHAT THE ****??

ROFL ROFL ROFL ROFL

ROFL

Holy crap. This inning is turning into the ending to that "Rookie of the Year" movie. Next up Lopez is going to throw underhanded.

Lopez just threw a better breaking ball than anything I've seen from Motte this year.

And Mather missed that tag, Valdez was safe easy.

So, the SS just threw to the pitcher who got a hit and then a throwing error but the pitcher was thrown out at 2nd. :bong:

This is pretty good stuff.

Uh oh, four-pitch walk, this guy's out of gas. LOL

Lopez has to pick that guy off now, just to make this inning stupidly perfect.

Felipe Lopez, ace reliever.

Royals fans, your GM thought that guy was Adam Dunn.

Nevermind that, we can't find a relief pitcher to save our lives and LaRussa can put his SS on the mound and get three outs.

Win or lose this is one of the most interesting games I have ever watched.

Just wow.

You're going to make DeezNuts cry.

Really wish I could watch this.

I'm watching it on FOX, but this is easy enough: http://www.channelsurfing.net/watch-mlb-2.html

Interesting point: Valdez is the guy that gave up the granny to Flip yesterday.

Only to face him as a pitcher the next day.

Lopez has now played at least one inning at every position except C and CF.

Of course, he hits into a DP.

To the 19th we go! LMAO

Excellent. Thanks.

Skip really sucks

Interested to see who pitches for the Cards here.

0-0 in the 19th.

Gotta love the NL. :)

Mather takes the bump.

Lopez must've reached his pitch limit.

LMAO Lopez reaches his pitch count... he moves to 3rd. 3B Joe Mather moves to pitcher.

ROFL

Mather.

79 mph meatball.

LMAO @ high school teams waiting for hours to play their game.

Mets' and Cards' team ERAs should be asterisked after this. It's like two shutouts each.

Excellent delivery.

The rarest stat in baseball: the Complete Games Shutout

This guy isn't throwing strikes at all.

Sac against a "pitcher" who cannot throw strikes or pitch, period.

Ok.

Why not have Lohse throw an inning here?

I mean really, if it got in a do or die situation with 2 outs, wouldn't you just switch Lohse and Mather for one batter?

The Mets should double steal here.

Still looks better than Luis Mendoza.

0 for ****ing 7. LMAO.

You can't quit us.

Please God, I'm actually hoping that we bring in Kyle Lohse

Bases loaded. Game over

Come on, it's the ****ing 19th. At this point, you can't ****ing give up. It's a Pyrrhic defeat if we lose this game.

How fitting he hits it to the pitcher playing LF.

Why the **** would you walk the bases loaded when your pitcher can't throw strikes

:facepalm:

I actually feel bad for Kyle Lohse there.

That flyball to the track had to have him nervous as hell.

Though I'll say that he positioned himself better for the throw back to the IF better than Chris Duncan does.

Why are we walking Blanco? You know they'll PH for Valdez to bring in K-Rod.

Bring Felipe back in...

LMAO.

Solid decision.

Now all this is missing is Yadi running out to the mound to switch equipment with Mather.

All things considered, Mather did quite well.

This guy is not throwing strikes. Got bailed out on that called strike.

LMAO Smart of Mather to get over there. This whole game is so bizarre. Can the Cards come up with a run now...

No idea how he just made it out of that inning with only giving up 1 run.

Why is TLR IBB'ing guys with Joe Mather pitching?

Yeah. But still, he threw like 3 strikes total ROFL

Yeah really, the Royals can't get through an inning, the Cardinals just went two whole innings with position players and gave up 1 run.

And Gil Meche

LET'S GO PUJOLS!!!
