Seemed like more than buttocks.

were meat sabers involved?

 

[cashman]

Jim Knox everybody

 

[Doytch]

Shit this game might actually be done by the time Breaking Bad starts. I am shock.

I just jinxed it, didn't I?

 

[Sharp]

Fantastic stat for batting. Doesn't it credit a pitcher the same for a strike-out as a fly-ball that was caught with a diving catch by Ellsbury?

Well yeah. I suppose they should start assigning fielding plays to the fielders... but then the question of how to split up the credit between pitcher and fielder emerges. That's the reason they use FIP in the first place, so they don't have to worry about the effect the pitcher may have had on the batted ball type.

Yeah. Papelbon is going to pitch at least 1 inning in this game.

17 games ago, Boston's (85-56) lead on Tampa (77-64) was exactly 8 games.

Yeah, about that.

Thought you meant 17 games left in the season. Which is traditionally what "17 to go" means.

 

[A Black Falcon]

Time for John Lackey to do his thing.

Continue to pitch one of his best games in a while, get a bit more run support, and turn the Sox around from this horrible losing streak, you mean?

... I wasn't expecting to win this game going in, but sometimes good surprises happen...

17 games ago, Boston's (85-56) lead on Tampa (77-64) was exactly 8 games.

Yeah, about that.

On Sept. 1 we had a 9 game lead over the Rays.

Apparently in mid August the Cardinals were 10 1/2 games behind Atlanta though, so that would also be a very impressive comeback (and collapse) if they manage it, as they well might with St. Louis playing Houston while Atlanta plays Philly...

 

[Y2Kev]

Why is he still in? seriously come on.

 

[darkside31337]

God damn Nova sucks. Get AJ Burnett into the game now.

 

[evil solrac v3.0]

GET HIM OUT ALREADY! save his arm for the post-season and all that Jazz.... yeah... that's it.

 

[Y2Kev]

Girardi just doesn't give a shit.

 

[Sanjuro]

Everything in my Scutaro doesn't suck.

 

[Sharp]

Send in the clowns

 

[evil solrac v3.0]

so need a strikeout now..... is there a stat that shows how many strikeouts a guy has with runners in scoring position? that'd be handy right now....

 

[weekend_warrior]

This is embarrassing. We're letting down baseball fans everywhere by not blowing the sox out.

 

[Malo]

Why is nova still in the game!?

 

[ConradCervantes]

These Wild Card chases are mesmerizing. Two teams with huge leads just utterly imploding at the worst possible time, their challengers coming on hard.

Brewers-Rays World Series. You heard it here first.

 

[Y2Kev]

oh thanks joe. thanks for coming out you stupid shit.

edit: OH WOW its boone logan!

 

[Sanjuro]

...my Captain?

 

[Sharp]

so need a strikeout now..... is there a stat that shows how many strikeouts a guy has with runners in scoring position? that'd be handy right now....

Not really. But I'd bet it's David Robinson.

 

[Sanjuro]

This is embarrassing. We're letting down baseball fans everywhere by not blowing the sox out.

Shouldn't you guys be used to letting down baseball fans?

 

[Y2Kev]

Not really. But I'd bet it's David Robinson.

It's not Robertson though, it's...Boone Logan.

 

[darkside31337]

It's alright.

Yankees just setting the Red Sox up for some heartbreak when Derek Jeter hits the game winning home run in the bottom of the 9th.

 

[Sharp]

It's not Robertson though, it's...Boone Logan.

Shit did I say Robinson

Might as well have called him Robertson Cano

 

[evil solrac v3.0]

FUCKING RETARDI!!!

 

[evil solrac v3.0]

how exactly???

 

[Dmncnby2k9]

Gathright would have flied rite over Romine and tagged the plate.

 

[ZeroRay]

It's alright.

DE-RECK JE-TER

*clap*clap*clap*clap*clap*

 

[Maxim726X]

God damnit.

Baseball needs another epic collapse... So people can stop talking about the Mets.

 

[Sanjuro]

how exactly???

Do I need to paint a picture?

 

[Celsior]

Do I need to paint a picture?

Yes, using no words just one picture

 

[Dmncnby2k9]

God damnit.

I concur good sir!

 

[Doytch]

WE'LL STAY HERE TO HONOUR AMERICA.

echoes of soviet russia lol

 

[Sanjuro]

Shut the fuck up god bless America.

 

[Malo]

God damnit.

We'll never forget.

Is there a bigger douche in all of sports than John Lackey? The guy is a gigantic manbaby

 

[Sanjuro]

Of course there is. His name is Michael Vick. Then there is John Lackey.

 

[ConradCervantes]

goddammit New York. Kids everywhere are depending on you guys.

 

[Doytch]

I couldn't pick just one.

 

[DevelopmentArrested]

Off field sure. On field? I dont know. Lackey is crying everytime he comes off the mound

 

[eznark]

Off field sure. On field? I dont know. Lackey is crying everytime he comes off the mound

So...Tom Brady-esque?

 

[Sanjuro]

I couldn't pick just one.

I still wish this existed somewhere. Would sum up the quality of the game as well.

 

[Doytch]

^^ Holy shit I LOLd

So...Tom Brady-esque?

Can I just say that the UGG ads that Brady is in have to be the worst decision he's ever made? He looks like a friggin 40-year-old dad in all of them/

 

[JABEE]

So...Tom Brady-esque?

That's what I was thinking

 

[Sanjuro]

That stupid meth addict Joba would be up on that list as well. Brady doesn't scream douche, he is just unlikable outside of the hub. The UGG commercial is stupid though. They just look like hyped Timberlands.

 

[Doytch]

Youkilis is a major on-field douche. He bitches to umps more than friggin Eric Hinske. Annoying as shit watching that ugly SOB.

 

[captmcblack]

Tie game...let's try to bring the tears back.

 

[Sanjuro]

Youkilis is a major on-field douche. He bitches to umps more than friggin Eric Hinske. Annoying as shit watching that ugly SOB.

Papelbon is more of a douche in his antics. Off-field he does a decent interview and holds himself accountable.

Youkillis looks like a bitch at all times and cries during interviews.

 

[Malo]

Good throw, Romine.
