  1. A extra long game is why you just put Gonzalez in for Clark. He had the first game off, then plays the second.

  2. Part of me wants the Pads to bring in Rusch so I can go to bed. I’m trying to think of someone who can drive in a run for us.

  3. Good morning. When does the game start?

  4. aren’t all the starters on an extra day’s rest right now?

    Maddux?

  5. Dang it, Ledezma. Stop throwing ball 1 to hitters.

  6. #444@Schlom: This Marquez guy is an absolute joke. He’s killing us.

  7. Ledezma should be out of this inning already. He struck out the leadoff batter.

  8. thank god the pitcher is up.

  9. I guess he can just get four outs.

  10. Props to Ledezma. Four scoreless innings. Now score so we can all go to bed happy.

  11. Ledezma has done a great job.

  12. Ledezema gets a pass from me for the next few outings. Clutch pitching tonight.

  13. Well, Ledezma wanted to be in the rotation.

  14. this is it. it’s over THIS HALF INNING.

  15. What’s with the goat?

  16. dead rally goat time!

  17. #458@Kevin: He’s an inning short of qualifying for the decision. ha!

  18. Spier falls apart this inning.

  19. 420@Kevin: We did get a “this is the bottom of the 9th in a double-header.”

    Love the goat, they are losing it down there!

  20. #464@GTH: having an 18-inning game on a getaway night brings out the kook in everyone.

  21. Crappy Tony Clark!

  22. Vasgersian better actually eat a hat.

  23. dam…I have a late night birthday party tomorrow after work, too. I’m gonna need my own personal bullpen

  24. DO. NOT. WANT.

    No more outs.

    All about the hits and the runs boys. Let the dead ram bat – maybe he’ll do a better job.

  25. Clark: 0-7. 4 Ks. “tough day in the big leagues”

  26. This is getting comical in length. Enjoy your hat Matty.

  27. Time to let the bat boy hit.

  28. #470@kj: Tell me. Why didn’t Adrian replace him when he pinch-hit earlier?

  29. Clark yawned after he struck out.

  30. Geoff, what’s the record for posts in a game on Ducksnorts?

  31. It’s really going to suck if they lose this.

  32. OMG I’m so freaking sleepy!!!

    Work tomorrow is going to suck.

    God i hope Ledezma can hold it together.

  33. 475: Don’t go there. We ain’t halfway.

  34. These guys look GASSED!

  35. The people at Elias aren’t impressed with me being up until 3:18 a.m. because I don’t have to be at work until 4:30 p.m. EST.

  36. Was that a game last year vs these same Rox?

  37. #480@Richard: wasn’t that also a game against the Rockies?

  38. Nice of everybody to keep this going until I got off work.

  39. #483@Jeff: #484@Eric: All I can say: Nomar, grand slam, extras.

  40. That’s right, isn’t it, Richard?

  41. #484@Eric: Lousy Rockies.

    Did FanGraphs stop tracking this game? They haven’t updated since the 17th.

  42. #473@Richard: BINGO! I wondered that myself when I first looked at the box score (which was in about the 12th inning, iirc) … seems like that would have been both an offensive and defensive boost, no?

  43. What a terrible pitcher this Ledezma is!

  44. #487@Kevin: from the DS homepage:

  46. #489@LynchMob: Kevin apparently mentioned it even earlier.

  47. #490@Didi: Ledezma. Ledezma. Ledezma. keep saying it and it makes you feel sleepier
