R.A. Dickey is playing hurt but went 7.2, hanging on to 1-0 lead. Then:
Meanwhile, Rachel Maddow just trumped the fact that Herman Cain got 15% of the vote in some presidential poll. Who f-ing cares? It's May '10. The field is lackluster. He's someone different. He's personable and has that conservative personality vibe. He's an outsider, which is always good for the anti-government types. Shocker around one of six Republicans who vote in these things support the guy. Not really. Stop wasting our f-ing time and use the time to actually report on something serious. Some environmental thing. Something women related not connected to abortion. Something about workers not involving some anti-union bill by some troll Republican governor type. You know, various things you don't really handle.
Sometimes, Maddow is just annoying. It's not a matter of being a bit too cute about certain things or a bit too much on certain things. It's stupid stuff like this. Along with the same old shit really, it's all getting tiresome. It's like when she has this "oh look at those sad Republicans" type story. They have been sad for years. Still pretty successful in the polls, huh? She tosses a cutsie story to lead off Friday night (involving horses) but she's getting a bit too predictable.
BTW, what happened to the Twins this year?
Tabata was hit by a pitch, Cedeno to second.Got to take him out. Oh, I realize, you don't want to. It is the Pirates after all. But, you got to take him out. Didn't. Gave up two runs. Okay. Down 3-1. Who do you bring in for the ninth? Bobby Parnell. Shocker he gave up two more runs. Up four runs last night, toss out your closer. Need to keep it close, you toss out this guy. Just back. Makes lots of sense. Seriously, I think the manager is doing a good job. But, sometimes, you know ...
Harrison singled to right, Cedeno scored, Tabata to third.
Advance on throw, Harrison to second.
A.McCutchen walked on a full count.
