Open Thread 5/22: Blackout Thread #2

Melky is 2/2 with a homer. Yes, the world is ending. Hope you've stocked up on survival gear.

The Braves are winning 3-0. Eric Hinske is good at hitting. And Derek Lowe hasn't given up a run. Discuss.

I couldn’t tell definitively on the replay. Escobar may have taken his foot off of the bag before the throw onto first, but that’s pretty standard for plays at second and that’s not what the umpire called. But I’m not sure he beat the throw to the bag…

what a clusterfuck of a game

3 and a half hours long and a strike zone called by an idiotic monkey. glad we won.

i liked how every half inning for the Braves (besides the 9th) took 4 seconds and the Pirates half took like 20 minutes each
