Would someone please tell Al to start talking? He gives GREAT analysis and great info, is always spot on....yet he goes 2 innings barely uttering a word. He's a great announcer.

Last year I knew right away he was great, and this year he's been just as spectacular.

 

[Eminem]

No, I meant the ALCS. I know they're in it now, I was curious as to when the last time they didn't make it (ie first round exit) was?

ah, ok. mah bad yo.

 

[chimpychi]

That's f'd up.... a potato because he's Irish? Awful man

:lol I hadn't even thought of it that way..I was making fun of the ears

 

[MetatronM]

SLAMMA LAMMA *BONG* DING DONG!

 

[DJ Demon J]

2 more outs, let's cut this momentum...nip it in the bud Curt.

YOU'RE a Red Sox fan too? I'm beginning to see a pattern here...

 

[Eminem]

Schilling's gonna pitch 7 shutout innings.

DAMN I was close.

What a GREAT fucking effort from Schilling. Better than most anyone could have expected.



Now...Arroyo to Foulke. Make it happen Boston.
Hell, depending on how he pitches, Arroyo to more Arroyo. Let Foulke be fresh for 2+ tomorrow.


Heredia getting loose? HELLS YEAH

 

[Mrbob]

Schlling >>>> Curse

you'll find a similar pattern through all the US except for people in NY =p

 

[Brofist]

Way to put em down.

 

[Grifter]

Can someone tell me why Sierra is wasting this spot as DH? I haven't seen him do anything since the last time he was a Yankee.

 

[Desperado]

cmon sox

Deshaies - "That might be a season saver."

the way that ground ball stayed fair was amazing...thank you SF ground crew!

 

[Eminem]

yes, you must take schilling out. he did his part times two. shut up McISUCKATLIFE


2 RUN JACK PAPI. COME ON, SECURE THAT MVP.

Don't say bandwagon....1.) I like underdogs and 2.) I hate the Yankees. Besides, aren't you rooting for them? Don't you want as many fans rooting for them as possible?

 

[Eminem]

that describes pretty much all of the baseball watching world except the people that live in NY

 

[MetatronM]

Then you shouldn't be rooting for anybody. The Red Sox WERE the favorites in this series.

 

[Mike Works]

One more newbie question- are closer pitchers;

1) Really good pitchers that don't have the arm to go consistently long like a regular pitcher

2) Really good pitchers that aren't consisten enough as regular pitchers when it comes to pitching well

3) Average pitchers

?

How does one go about becoming a closer like Gagne or Rivera throughout their career? It's one aspect I've always found confusing.

Ha, no, it was actually more along the lines of you and Mr Bob being big anti-Nintendo trolls. And yep, I'm rooting for them. I don't really care about baseball at all during the regular season, but when it comes to the playoffs, and you get the Yankees/Sox playing each other, I cheer for the Sox (mostly because of their fans). Same goes for the Cubs.

well as far as vegas...yeah. as far as conventional wisdom...no.

 

[Ninja Scooter]

simply intangible.

yeah if the Yanks win it will go down as one of the greatest upsets of all time...please :rolleyes

They're good to great pitchers that have the mentality to close. It doesn't matter how good your stuff is...you have to have the mentality to close. That YOU are deciding the game. So I'd say it's closest to A. They can't go more than 3, and even going 3 is VERY rare.

So yeah, A is your best choice. Also, a lot of closers are former setup men or starters. Just look at Smoltz in Atlanta. Former starter reduced the the pen, and he's a great closer.

To be honest, I'm really not sure how you go about becoming a closer. I think usuelly it's option #1. I'd say guys like Rivera, Gagne, Smoltz (formerly a very good starter), and the like certainly fit in that first group.

He used the word underdog. Technically the Yankees were the underdogs in this series. I'm only making a statement of fact.

 

[Eminem]

LET'S GO AR-RO-YO
*clap clap clapclapclap*

LET'S GO AR-RO-YO

Look, after the Sox went down 3-0, they ARE the underdogs. Period.

So technically, you could say that the more anti-Nintendo truth that is told on the forum....the more likely the Sox are to win....? ! ??

 

[MetatronM]

Alright....time for the top of the order, especially Jeter, to wake up.

 

[Eminem]

SHITBOX

 

[MetatronM]

Now let's get a homer from A-Rod.

 

[Mike Works]

So technically, you could say that the more anti-Nintendo truth that is told on the forum....the more likely the Sox are to win....? ! ??

There is no "the more likely". It all comes down to Joe's tag. That's it.

 

[chimpychi]

dammit all the hell! had to be that bush baby looking bastard, Jeter

 

[Kon Tiki]

What
the
fuck

COME ON!

 

[Eminem]

OH. MY. GOD.

 

[MetatronM]

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA


Curse and what have you.

 

[Chesapeake Silt]

Ye gods.

 

[Incognito]

FUCKING CHEATING ASS AROD

 

[Cloudy]

A-Rod is dirt :lol

 

[firex]

wow, so Arod cheats...

 

[Eminem]

THAT WAS A FUCKING SWAT. NOT EVEN CLOSE. NOT EVEN CLOSE. OUT MOTHER FUCKERS

GREAT FUCKING CALL. Man....right on.

 

[Ninja Scooter]

arod=bitch. Thats honestly the bitchiest move i've seen in all my life of watching baseball.

 

[neptunes]

a-rod, cheater extrodinare

 

[impirius]

Come on, get this call right.... YEAH!

 

[Lonestar]

haha, OUT motherbitches!

 

[BigJonsson]

These Umps are actually doing the right thing....

But they really need instant replay

 

[XMonkey]

Good job by the umps tonight.

 

[Kon Tiki]

OH MY GOD. YESS.

 

[Drek]

ARod is a cheating dick wad. Fuck him. Fucker.

That should have a huge ass fine for that bullshit, unsportsmanlike doesn't even define that.

 

[Incognito]

ROFL THE FUCKING FANS ARE THROWING BASEBALLS ON THE FIELD

stupid ass losers

dont cheat and u wont have this problem

 

[Brofist]

out fucking cheater

 

[MetatronM]

Ah, balls.

But why does Jeter go back to first? He should be on second. Even if you call A-Rod out (that is an out, I was just hoping they would miss that), Jeter still advances forward to second.
