Peavy smiles and says: “I try not to yell; I try not to swear. But at 7 o’clock every night, I turn into someone different. I’m out there trying to focus. I’m competing. I can’t control myself. But I have three little boys. I want them to be able to watch their daddy pitch without hearing all the yelling.

Dunn smiles and says: “I make fun of Jake. I mock him. I can’t even make the sound he makes when he’s out there; it will hurt my throat. We do an over/under on when he’s going to first yell at ...

Tied! Wow. This is some game.

A little too excited of a call for that.

Now that's some good smallball.

Heh, Pennington takes off Cespedes's helmet so everyone can pat him on the head.

And...NOW it's over. Series tied, 1-1.

Did Versgarian exclaim "Santa Maria!" in the middle of the run-scoring play, or was I hallucinating it?

Someone did, it was pretty funny.

HAHAHA this is crazy.

Wow. That game changed quick.

This game is awesome.

Is Benoit crying?

Y. Cespedes, one man wrecking crew

222. McCoy posted on October 07, 2012 at 02:39 PM # hit 0 | hit 0

Who effin throws a home run ball back in the playoffs?

223. Jose Can Still Seabiscuit posted on October 07, 2012 at 02:39 PM # hit 0 | hit 0

All those strikeouts don't matter much now

224. RMc and His Roster of Rubbish posted on October 07, 2012 at 02:39 PM # hit 0 | hit 0

Benoit should not pitch another game for the Tigers, ever.

225. Srul Itza At Home posted on October 07, 2012 at 02:39 PM # hit 0 | hit 0

Good thing he stole those bases.

226. Walks Clog Up the Bases posted on October 07, 2012 at 02:39 PM # hit 0 | hit 0

I think "Santa Maria!" is a Versargian staple. I recall hearing it often on MLB: The Show.

227. Justin T is expanding the aperture of awareness posted on October 07, 2012 at 02:40 PM # hit 0 | hit 0

I want to kiss Cespedes all about the face.

228. BourbonSamurai, vassal of the Harpsburg Empire posted on October 07, 2012 at 02:40 PM # hit 0 | hit 0

Good thing he stole those bases.

They distracted the pitcher!

229. McCoy posted on October 07, 2012 at 02:40 PM # hit 0 | hit 0

Good thing he stole those bases.

I'm pretty sure it played a role in the A's scoring 2 runs there.

Honestly, if you aren't a Cubs fan, I think anyone else throwing a homerun ball back is an idiot (Cubs because of tradition are exempt from that comment)

Stealing someone else's tradition is just lazy fans.

It has gotten church quiet in Detroit.

232. Good cripple hitter posted on October 07, 2012 at 02:42 PM # hit 0 | hit 0

I didn't realize that Alberto Jose Alburquerque was back and pretty much the same pitcher he was before the injury.

233. Dr. Vaux posted on October 07, 2012 at 02:42 PM # hit 0 | hit 0

What a terrible game. Nationals-Cardinals can't start soon enough.

234. McCoy posted on October 07, 2012 at 02:42 PM # hit 0 | hit 0

Hell, if I'm at Wrigley Field during a playoff game and I catch an opposing team's home run ball I'm not throwing it back. Eff the mob.

Well, it is Sunday.

What...why did we just spend six seconds on that puzzled looking buck toothed man?

I'm proud to say I've been a Cespedophile since March. That man plays some baseball.

239. Eric J can SABER all he wants to posted on October 07, 2012 at 02:44 PM # hit 0 | hit 0

Not that anyone needs my help to identify the most exciting game of the postseason so far, but this one officially clinched the top spot with Crisp's error, and is in the process of building a substantial lead.

240. Walks Clog Up the Bases posted on October 07, 2012 at 02:44 PM # hit 0 | hit 0

You'll have to wait until Coco Crisp is finished with him.

241. Justin T is expanding the aperture of awareness posted on October 07, 2012 at 02:45 PM # hit 0 | hit 0

Holding a lead for even a half-inning would be an improvement now.

Yankees/O's lineups

Not feeling great about the O's chances today, but who knows.

243. Matt Clement of Alexandria posted on October 07, 2012 at 02:45 PM # hit 0 | hit 0

That's Vasgersian on the call? I'm digging it. I think it's better to err on the side of too excited when you're calling a playoff game.

244. Walks Clog Up the Bases posted on October 07, 2012 at 02:45 PM # hit 0 | hit 0

Of course, given how this game has gone over the last 20 minutes, this one is far from over.

I don't get the hate for him. I think he does a rather good job, both in the booth and behind the MLB Tonight desk.

Honestly, if you aren't a Cubs fan, I think anyone else throwing a homerun ball back is an idiot (Cubs because of tradition are exempt from that comment)"

I could see myself doing that. You're disappointed, you're frustrated, and in your hands you have a reminder of what just happened to piss you off so much. I completely get the urge to toss the ball as far away as you can.

247. RB in NYC (Now Semi-Retired from BBTF) posted on October 07, 2012 at 02:47 PM # hit 0 | hit 0

Boy, Delmon really does look bad. All that Jew-hating ages you, I guess.

Couldn't have happened to a nicer guy.

249. Walks Clog Up the Bases posted on October 07, 2012 at 02:48 PM # hit 0 | hit 0

Walking Delmon Young should be a punishable offense. Even the Tigers radio announcers can't hide their disdain for his inability to take four outside of the zone.

He's actually hated? So far he seems good. Kaat's said some crazy things, but it's much better than yesterday's game with Buck Martinez, or some of Fox's teams.
