The "Let's Get Grover's 900th Win" Thread

[Nanner]

Well, they certainly on on their way to that!!!! At the bottom of the 4th, the score is 7-1, Orioles!!! :uhoh: :thumbsup:

Yup. They had a 7-run top of the 4th. :yikes:

Here's how it happened: Tony B singled, Marvelous Marty Cordova tripled, scoring Tony B. Jose Leon, doing duty at 1st base tonight, homered, that would be a 2-run dinger, scoring himself and Marty. Then The Mighty Chief :lust: doubled, then the fabulous Bordy :lust: singled, but advanced to 2nd on the throw, but there doesn't seem to be an error to Texas. :confused: Anyhoo, so we've got The Chief on 3rd, Bordy on 2nd, then Chris Singleton doubled, Chief and Bordy score (following this?.... that's 5.... ), then Mighty Mel singled, and Chris Singleton scored. Then Gary Matthews Jr. singled, moving Mighty Mel to 3rd, then Tony B doubled, plating Mighty Mel, and GM Jr. was out at home.... trying to stretch out those runs to 8 in one inning, no doubt. :biggrin:

Whew!!!

So, that took me such a long time to write, it's now the top of the 5th. No Lone Ranger scored in the bottom of the 4th, and here in the top of the 5th, we have two men on (that would be Marvelous Marty who walked, and Jose Leon who was hit by a pitch by Anthony Telford.... yup.... Kenny Rogers is grabbing some pine after giving up all those runs in the 4th. :biggrin: )... so Bordy's at the plate.... and now Gamecast seems to have frozen up.

COME ON!!!!! I WANNA SEE WHAT MY BOYFRIEND DOES!!!..... oh. Thank you. There it is. And *sigh*.... my boyfriend poops out. :itsok:

Chris Singleton steps in with two outs.... aaaaand he flies out.

Going to the bottom of the 5th, Boys and Girls!!!!

GO O'S!!! :jump: :jump: :jump:

[Nanner]

OHMIGOD!!!! :uhoh: WHAT THE HECK IS GOING ON IN TEXAS?!?!?!?? I LIKE IT!!!!! I LIKE IT!!!

:jump: :jump:

Another run scores!!! Mighty Mel singles, and then Jerry Hairston singles, driving home Mighty Mel!!! :uhoh: Wow.

8-1, O's, with 1 out. Now Telford intentionally walks Tony B. So we have men on the corners, and here's Marvelous Marty at the plate.

Oops. New pitcha. A Mr. J. Powell. On the 2nd pitch Marty grounds out to third base, but Jerry Hairston scores, and Tony B goes to 2nd.

9-1, O's

And Jose Leon lines out to 2nd for the 3rd out.

Well. :biggrin: This is a good game. :thumbsup:

[Nanner]

Oh. Hmm. Rodrigo Lopez just gave up a 1-out, 2 run homer to A-Rod.

Well, it is A-Rod. :hmm:

Score now 9-3, bottom of the 6th. And there seems to be a delay. I hope Grover isn't taking R-Lo out. I mean, what's a little two-run homer.... I mean, really.

[Nanner]

Ohgood. R-Lo's still in there. Gamecast was just frozen for a few minutes.

So, Juan Gonzalez singled, and then Raffy Palmeiro (he takes Viagra.... :hmm:.... ) ground into a DP.

Innie ovah.

Here come the O's!!! :jump:

[Nanner]

WOOOHOOO!!!! TOP OF THE 7TH!!!

MY NEW SECRET BOYFRIEND, THE MIGHTY CHIEF LEADS OFF WITH A DOUBLE!!! (Geronimo :lust: )

AND NOW MY OTHER BOYFRIEND BORDY :lust: SINGLES AND DRIVES IN GERONIMO!!!!!! HOORAY!!!!!!!!

:jump: :clap1: :jump: :clap1:

My boyfriends are getting their BA's up tonight!!! :biggrin:

Chris Singleton sacrifices, grounding out to 2nd, but Mikey moves to 2nd. Now Mighty Mel is at the plate.

Mel grounds out.

Jerry Hairston Jr. flies out. Top of the 7th over, but not before Geronimo and Bordy answer A-Rod by teaming up on a nice little extra run.

:lust: My two boyfriends.... workin' their cute butts off. :biggrin:

[Nanner]

Bottom of the 7th.

The Rangers:

Struck out.

Ground out.

Lined out.

But in between all of that, Herbert Perry added a solo homerun.

So now the score is 10-4, the lovely Orioles.

:biggrin:

[Nanner]

Buddy Groom gets out of the bottom of the 8th. On 2 outs, A-Rod had walked, then Juan Gonzalez reached on an error by Tony B.... (:hmm: ..... whatta surprise.... ), but then Buddy got Raffy to fly out. :clap1:

And now it's the top of the 9th. And my two boyfriends are due up.

The Chief.... :lust: ...... walks. TAKE YOUR BASE HONEY!!! :luvkiss:

Bordy :lust: ..... flies out :itsok:

Singleton.... walks. Chief goes to 2nd.

1 out.

Oh. Hideki Irabu is pitching now for the Rangers.

And right now, he's pitching to Mighty Mel. Aaaaaaaand he grounds out to the pitcher, but both Geronimo and Chris move over. So, 2 outs, Jerry Hairston Jr. battin.

I wonder if we need some insurance runs.


:biggrin: :biggrin:

Well, I guess that answers that question. Jerry lines out to deep left.

Bottom of the 9th!!!!! I'm betting Hot Jorge Julio is coming in to close it out!!!

:clap1:

[Nanner]

Nope. That would be "What You Talkin' 'Bout," Willis Roberts pitching.

I would like a 1-2-3 inning please.

With mustard.

(Which you always get with Willis pitching. :biggrin:

[Nanner]

AND WILLIS SHUTS 'EM DOWN!!!!!

1-2-3..... fly out, and 2 strike-outs swinging.


THE O'S WIN!!!!! THE O'S WIN!!!!!

On some mighty fine pitching from Rodrigo Lopez, and some mighty fine hitting by most of the O's

FINAL SCORE: 10-4, ORIOLES!!!!!

YIPPPPPEEEEEE!!!

:jump: :clap1: :dance2: :dancin:

[Nanner]

Bordy Hitting Watch: :biggrin:

He went 2 for 5 last night, with an RBI, and he scored 1 run.

BA now .238. :kissyou: :luvkiss:

Oh, and THE STREAK IS ALIVE!!!!! 68 GAMES WITHOUT AN ERROR!!!!
