Pedro was joining in on bashing Buck when they went on. The producers probably told them they needed someone to have an altering viewpoint instead of having everyone agree.

 

[devilhawk]

Just remember you were the one that was being a sore winner after the ALCS last year when Kansas City won and you were acting like a prick to Jays-GAF.

Sounds like I'm going to have to avoid flying beer bottles forever.

Goes to show how mature you are. Considering the only time you come in this thread is when you want to scratch your itch for shitting on the Jays.

But I guess I should stop.

Shouldn't you be in the offseason OT?

Odor starting to work the bags at the gym tonight.

 

[ProfessorMoran]

I'm going to have to give Gibby credit for starting Stroman tonight, he made the right call.

 

[User 479360]

Outside of that Red Bull can, the crowd showed a lot of great passion. That's good for such a big broadcast. But, of course, one idiot will tarnish it.

It wouldn't surprise me.

 

[CreeperBlocks]

GG Orioles. That was fun

 

[Silver Arrows]

Exactly. It was a good start, and he knew that Stroman would step it up for the big start. It's in his DNA to do that.

This is the 2nd time in Buck's career (1995 ALDS) he lost a winner-take-all postseason game in extra innings without ever using his closer.

Dude got experience with this, it's all cool guys.

Britton gonna light shit up with that extra day of rest going into spring training!

I hope the Jays learned not to get into brawls after Benoit got hurt.

Can someone explain this? I just have regular Cox cable. Will the MLB channel become available for that time period, or do I have to download some app on my game console?

 

[Silver Arrows]

These Britton getting good rest jokes are killing me my god 😂😂😂😂

What a fucking awesome game. Just getting back to my friend's condo now. Bring on Texas!

Well technically at the moment Ubaldo does have more Cy Young votes than Britton.

Over/under on amount of trash thrown per game in Toronto?

Depends on if Dickey is pitching.

I admit, I laughed.

 

[zulux21]

The Wild Card playoff is absolutely a disgrace to the game.

Teams what work hard to win their division are robbed of one champagne and Bud Lite celebration.

first off... there isn't a wild card playoff game. it's a wild card playin game.
the jays made the playoffs this year, the o's did not.

second off, as someone who dislikes booze. that second thing sounds like a good thing

 

[RBH]

lmao

Remember when Atlanta fans threw all that garbage on the field after the Infield Fly incident? Imagine if something similar happens in Toronto!

 

[wbsmcs]

Probably less than the amount of bad jokes made about it over the next week.

This was a good one lol

I know, right?

lmfao

I hope the Jays learned not to get into brawls after Benoit got hurt.

I didn't realize he got hurt in a brawl. That's awful. I missed that game.

 

[Slime]

I was hopeful we'd win, but I wasn't expecting a 3-run Edwing dong in the 11th. Damn.

I didn't realize he got hurt in a brawl. That's awful. I missed that game.

The saddest thing about that is that it wasn't even in the brawl, it was when he was rushing up some stairs to head toward the brawl.

Where's Britton, String? Where's Britton?

It's what makes the September races more interesting, Brah.

Stakes are higher when it comes down to one. There's no disgrace here, you're just being not smaat aboutit, y'see?

Damn that is a good one

you missed the joke.

the joke is that the jays will get to celebrate more than the red sox.

especially once the jays make it to the second round and the red sox don't

Why would someone just disregard another magical Red Sox run to World Series? Especially with Big Papi retiring at season end?

 

[sf2fanatic]

Lawd, Edwin crushed the shit outta that ball.

Yup. Also looked like he one handed that too.

 

[zulux21]

Why would someone just disregard another magical Red Sox run to World Series? Especially with Big Papi retiring at season end?

because they are running into the Indians, and won't get past them

not that it matters, we all know the giants are going to win it all anyways

Playoff Bumgarner is unstoppable

 

[17 Seconds]

not using your closer in extra inning tie games on the road is THE number 1 thing i hate that managers do. even maddon does it sometimes. so so stupid.

 

[Mortemis]

We all do, we just shun it away. Some of us actually like to sleep at night.

Good God. Showalter used Britton in a tie game, on the road, in Toronto(!), for 2 innings on July 31.

So what's his excuse today?

This does not sound like a good combo Texas

@darrenrovell: New for Texas Rangers postseason: Smoked Brisket & Mac N Cheese on a pita with Popcornopolis Caramel Popcorn ($15)

 

[User 479360]

This does not sound like a good combo Texas

What the hell? That sounds like a disgustingly abhorrent creation.

Just thinking about it makes me want to barf.

Full disclosure, though: I'm a very picky eater. For some reason, cheese disgusts me.

 

[bonesmccoy]

Gah, I feel for Baltimore. Ubaldo was so rattled, having him face EE in that situation is really inexcusable.

 

[zulux21]

This does not sound like a good combo Texas

why does the smoked brisket look like an overcooked hotdog?

anyways... terrible.

they should just put bacon on a stick like the white sox and call it worthy of the playoffs because it really is

 

[CosmicQueso]

Chuck, post if you're okay.

 

[User 479360]

I wonder if Buck will lose his job over this. Not using Britton, the best reliever and someone who's 47/47, in a game like this...it will be seen as inexcusable.

 

[Line_HTX]

I almost hope the ALCS will become like this past Eastern Conference Finals, heh heh heh.

 

[CygnusXS]

This does not sound like a good combo Texas

CosmicQueso is already booking his flight.

Dude, Zach Britton references on twitter are fucking hiliarious. Some ones I came across:

Dan Haren:

I might get in this game before Zack Britton

Patrick Dubuque

Buck Showalter is one of those people who has like forty elixirs at the end of a Final Fantasy game

Buck Showalter is the guy who finishes the race in Mario Kart in last place with a lighting bolt special in stock.
