You can't walk Russell Branyan with a 2 run lead and nobody on

 

Agreed, but the ump killed him on that AB.

What in the world is Ozzie waiting for? You have to relievers up in the pen, get Colon out. Everyone at the park could see he was getting the ball up in the zone more.

... and caulfield was actually wondering if he would go 8.

Hard to get outs when you're throwing the ball over the plate and it's not getting called. Branyan looked surprised on a few of the calls.

You can't have Brent Lillibridge within 500 miles of any major league team.

Bart got out of a big jam in Baltimore, he's fully capable of getting out of this.

He kept going at him inside...Corky calls a pretty damn good game.

That 2-seamer would break my f***ing wrist if I was hitting against Colon

Lillibridge is a little gay boy f** I hope to see him and Owens off this team ASAP

Wow.

FOOOOUUUULLLLL!!!!!!!

Damnit I hate the way Farmer calls those down the line

Dont worry about Lilli, Nix is on the fast track to the MLB team.

Well you can if he has a ticket to a game.

Wow, that was so freaking close. Ozzie is really sticking with Colon a little too long.

There's gotta be a reason why he's stuck around as long as he has.

Thank God.

 

Not so easy to trust Linebrink and Thornton coming in cold in that situation, either. Dotel would have been the logical choice, but Colon is a veteran that Ozzie can trust to get himself out of trouble in those situtions.

 

Corky has one of the Top 5-7 arms in the game and he has a ton of experience at the position. He's also had a lot of time on the bench to observe, which proves invaluable to catchers and later managers. (Although never seen a MLB manager with those sideburns).

Nicely done Bartolo.

f***in' A bartolo. Nicely done big man.

This was nearly as close as it gets.

Awesome game for Colon...hell of an effort by Corky with the pitch calling. Should be Thornton for the 8th. If it's Linebrink, I might bite my wrist off.

Colon's ERA down to 4.15 after today.

Wow, that was so freaking close. Ozzie is really sticking with Colon a little too long.

I dont agree, its not like all of a sudden he lost his stuff. He has been locating well all game, got squeezed a little and his player made an error.

A lefty leads off. Thornton will at least get Ichiro.

For a man with such a funny name, Don Wakamatsu brings little joy to my television screen.

Yep. There's not much reason to do that with a vet like Colon. This isn't some rookie who hasn't shown that he can pitch out of jams.
