Not a lot of people in ATL actually give a #### about baseball, or, really pro sports.

What do they care about down there?

College sports?

I knew #### about that city

402. Benji Gil Gamesh VII - The Opt-Out Awakens Posted: September 27, 2011 at 02:15 AM (#3938376)

I'll see you a Braves fan and raise you a Phil Coorey!

I don't even know what that means.

403. Textbook Editor Posted: September 27, 2011 at 02:15 AM (#3938377)

From Extra Bases; I think Carfado hit the bottle early:

Beckett has been relieved by Daniel Bard. Beckett threw 108 pitches in six innings, allowed seven hits and six runs. Not what the Red Sox were looking for.

I can't say I blame him.

404. Phil Coorey. Posted: September 27, 2011 at 02:16 AM (#3938378)

I don't even know what that means.

means I have been whinging more than anyone

405. Spahn Insane Posted: September 27, 2011 at 02:16 AM (#3938379)

Oh god, Farnsworth.

406. Der-K's tired of these fruits from poisoned trees Posted: September 27, 2011 at 02:16 AM (#3938380)

Wilton Lopez stranded two Cards in scoring position - HOU up 2 after 6.5

407. Famous Original Joe C Posted: September 27, 2011 at 02:16 AM (#3938381)

College sports?

I knew #### about that city

Football. Yes, mostly college.

408. Benji Gil Gamesh VII - The Opt-Out Awakens Posted: September 27, 2011 at 02:17 AM (#3938382)

I blame this awful stretch on the negative energy from most Sox chatterers.

409. Phil Coorey. Posted: September 27, 2011 at 02:17 AM (#3938383)

yay - it's carl crawford !!

410. Esoteric Posted: September 27, 2011 at 02:17 AM (#3938384)

WHAT IS GOING ON?

411. Phil Coorey. Posted: September 27, 2011 at 02:18 AM (#3938386)

Football. Yes, mostly college.

Ta - how boring

412. Spahn Insane Posted: September 27, 2011 at 02:18 AM (#3938388)

What happened, Eso? I've got the Rays on.

413. Dan Posted: September 27, 2011 at 02:18 AM (#3938389)

I blame this awful stretch on the negative energy from most Sox chatterers.

I blame this awful stretch for the negative energy from most Sox chatterers.

Wonderful effort, Carl.

414. Spahn Insane Posted: September 27, 2011 at 02:19 AM (#3938390)

Montero grounds out to end it. 5-2.

415. Esoteric Posted: September 27, 2011 at 02:19 AM (#3938391)

Rays win.

416. Darren

Posted: September 27, 2011 at 02:19 AM (#3938393)

Obviously by #### this ####### team I didn't mean to wish any human beings actual pain.

Yeah, right, neckstabber. :)

417. Miserable, Non-Binary Candy is all we deserve CoB Posted: September 27, 2011 at 02:19 AM (#3938394)

We're talking about the same guy who couldn't get out of an inning in a blowout against the Rays' AAAA players the other day right? The one who threw 7 strikes out of 27 pitches?

We're talking about the same guy who made his MLB *debut*, against his life-long team's arch-rivals, in his first *relief appearanc of the year, after 3 weeks off?

That guy?

Yeah, I'm going to go ahead and say that appearance isn't going to be representative of his MLB appearances. This year, or any ...

418. Esoteric Posted: September 27, 2011 at 02:19 AM (#3938395)

What happened, Eso? I've got the Rays on.

HBP, then a balk to get the runner to second with nobody out. 1 out now.

419. Phil Coorey. Posted: September 27, 2011 at 02:19 AM (#3938396)

420. Esoteric Posted: September 27, 2011 at 02:20 AM (#3938398)

6-3 Orioles, 1 out and a runner on first. COME ON NO MORE CHOKE.

421. Gamingboy Posted: September 27, 2011 at 02:20 AM (#3938399)

This is all part of Buck Showalter's vendetta, remember. The pain may have only just begun.

422. Benji Gil Gamesh VII - The Opt-Out Awakens Posted: September 27, 2011 at 02:20 AM (#3938400)

I don't give a flying #### how bad this stretch has been. At worst your team is still tied for a playoff spot with two games left. Have some ####### hope you bunch of faithless pussies. You lived through 2004 for christ's sake.

423. Spahn Insane Posted: September 27, 2011 at 02:20 AM (#3938401)

Tying run on. Yikes.

424. Esoteric Posted: September 27, 2011 at 02:20 AM (#3938402)

Oh jesus, an infield hit. Now the tying run is at the plate with 1 out.

It's all falling apart for the O's.

425. Famous Original Joe C Posted: September 27, 2011 at 02:21 AM (#3938403)

This is not a criticism of the line up - but - Carl Crawford has been ####### GREAT TONIGHT

What a ####### #### of a player - I'll never ever forgive him for this giant turd of a season he dumped on the Sox - ever.

I wish we were all sitting around a bar together right now getting drunk, and we could put Phil up on a stage with a mic and a bottle of something and just let him loose. Would make this way more fun.

426. Phil Coorey. Posted: September 27, 2011 at 02:21 AM (#3938404)

Another tease - great

427. Textbook Editor Posted: September 27, 2011 at 02:21 AM (#3938405)

Carl, welcome to BBTF hatred, Therapudian-style.

428. Dan Posted: September 27, 2011 at 02:21 AM (#3938406)

We're talking about the same guy who made his MLB *debut*, against his life-long team's arch-rivals, in his first *relief appearanc of the year, after 3 weeks off?

The Rays are the Yankees' arch-rivals? Never knew.

429. Joel W Posted: September 27, 2011 at 02:21 AM (#3938407)

It's almost as though if the Sox had held the Orioles to 3 runs by utilizing the "bullpen" they could be in this game.

430. Benji Gil Gamesh VII - The Opt-Out Awakens Posted: September 27, 2011 at 02:22 AM (#3938409)

I wish we were all sitting around a bar together right now getting drunk, and we could put Phil up on a stage with a mic and a bottle of something and just let him loose. Would make this way more fun.

Would it be more or less fun when I punched him?

431. Chip Posted: September 27, 2011 at 02:22 AM (#3938410)

This is the Big Tease to torture us even more over Tito's super slow Grady Little-esque hook with Beckett.

432. Joyful Calculus Instructor Posted: September 27, 2011 at 02:23 AM (#3938411)

Who is this Johnson guy? What happened to Uehara?

433. Esoteric Posted: September 27, 2011 at 02:23 AM (#3938412)

ONE. MORE. OUT.

434. Esoteric Posted: September 27, 2011 at 02:23 AM (#3938414)

PLEASE. ONE. MORE. OUT.

435. Phil Coorey. Posted: September 27, 2011 at 02:23 AM (#3938415)

Off the monster for sure , right ?

436. ColonelTom Posted: September 27, 2011 at 02:24 AM (#3938416)

Adrian Gonzalez reminds me of Bill O'Reilly. Must be the eyebrows.

437. Chip Posted: September 27, 2011 at 02:24 AM (#3938417)

"Adrian made a bid." No Don, he took an off-balance swing and hit a ball weakly off the end-of-the bat that turned into a lazy fly.

438. Phil Coorey. Posted: September 27, 2011 at 02:24 AM (#3938418)

Who is this Johnson guy? What happened to Uehara?

Traded to Rangers

439. Famous Original Joe C Posted: September 27, 2011 at 02:24 AM (#3938419)

PLEASE. ONE. MORE. OUT.

Are you an Orioles fan? If not, you're a dick.

Actually, I know you're a dick already. Never mind.

440. Dan Posted: September 27, 2011 at 02:24 AM (#3938420)

Who is this Johnson guy? What happened to Uehara?

Uehara is a Texas Ranger. He wasn't closing anyway though, Gregg was.

441. Spahn Insane Posted: September 27, 2011 at 02:25 AM (#3938421)

This Johnson feller looks nasty.

442. Esoteric Posted: September 27, 2011 at 02:25 AM (#3938423)

VICTORY! VICTORY!

443. Chip Posted: September 27, 2011 at 02:25 AM (#3938424)

12 LOB. 12.

444. Spahn Insane Posted: September 27, 2011 at 02:25 AM (#3938425)

Oh my.

445. Famous Original Joe C Posted: September 27, 2011 at 02:25 AM (#3938426)

Wait, you can say dick here?

Is the game over yet?

446. Esoteric Posted: September 27, 2011 at 02:26 AM (#3938428)

BETTER THAN BAD SEX!

447. Benji Gil Gamesh VII - The Opt-Out Awakens Posted: September 27, 2011 at 02:26 AM (#3938430)

AND YOU WOULD KNOW!!!

448. Textbook Editor Posted: September 27, 2011 at 02:27 AM (#3938431)

#### you, Tito. I will not miss your slow hook when you are in the shitter.

449. Gamingboy Posted: September 27, 2011 at 02:27 AM (#3938432)

Huzzah, O's! Huzzah, Pennant Race baseball!

450. Spahn Insane Posted: September 27, 2011 at 02:27 AM (#3938433)

Eh, crap. 2 on, none out for Berkman, Astros up 2.

451. Phil Coorey. Posted: September 27, 2011 at 02:28 AM (#3938436)

See you tomorrow guys - I can't wait to see how they leave tomorrows game in the shitter

452. Famous Original Joe C Posted: September 27, 2011 at 02:28 AM (#3938437)

#### you, Tito. I will not miss your slow hook when you are in the shitter.

Is this your way of saying you think the Cubs are going to hire him?

453. Mayor Blomberg Posted: September 27, 2011 at 02:28 AM (#3938438)

sure you can say dick; think of all the players who'd be banned from discussion!

454. Der-K's tired of these fruits from poisoned trees Posted: September 27, 2011 at 02:28 AM (#3938439)

Top 8, Hou up 2 with no out, men on 1st and 2nd, and Berkman up v. Fernando Rodriguez, a minor league journeyman.

455. Famous Original Joe C Posted: September 27, 2011 at 02:29 AM (#3938440)

sure you can say dick; think of all the players who'd be banned from discussion!

That's a great, great point.

456. Miserable, Non-Binary Candy is all we deserve CoB Posted: September 27, 2011 at 02:30 AM (#3938446)

MLB.com now reporting that Ozzie is gone as White Sox manager ... "reportedly".

457. Famous Original Joe C Posted: September 27, 2011 at 02:31 AM (#3938449)

Well, it's been a dadaist night terror of a game again, fellas. Look forward to staring the devil in the eyes with you all again tomorrow!

458. Benji Gil Gamesh VII - The Opt-Out Awakens Posted: September 27, 2011 at 02:32 AM (#3938452)

Are you effing kidding me the Cards just did a double-steal with Pujols and Holliday?

459. Miserable, Non-Binary Candy is all we deserve CoB Posted: September 27, 2011 at 02:33 AM (#3938453)

FAT ####### ELVIS!

460. Chip Posted: September 27, 2011 at 02:33 AM (#3938457)

And Berkman ties the game with a double.

461. Esoteric Posted: September 27, 2011 at 02:33 AM (#3938458)

AND YOU WOULD KNOW!!!

Oh come on, where's your sense of fun? Of excitement? This is one of the great baseball romances, playing out before our very eyes.

462. Der-K's tired of these fruits from poisoned trees Posted: September 27, 2011 at 02:33 AM (#3938459)

Dear Houston Astros,
Please at least try.

Lovingly yours,
Der-K

463. Esoteric Posted: September 27, 2011 at 02:34 AM (#3938460)

Honestly, I'm very nearly as excited about the Braves choking away their WC berth as I am about the Red Sox, especially because the Nationals played their own scrappy role in bringing it about.

Only downside: vindication for La Russa. F**k him.

464. Der-K's tired of these fruits from poisoned trees Posted: September 27, 2011 at 02:36 AM (#3938467)

(puts Esoteric on his list)

Man, Yadier is having a nice little season, huh?

465. Mayor Blomberg Posted: September 27, 2011 at 02:36 AM (#3938468)

Der-K. C'mon, it's the Astros. I live here and I've never heard of anyone on this team.

466. Miserable, Non-Binary Candy is all we deserve CoB Posted: September 27, 2011 at 02:37 AM (#3938469)

The Rays are the Yankees' arch-rivals? Never knew.

Yup, you're right, I mis-remembered which game he came into the end of last week.

Everything else, though?

Yeah ...

467. Der-K's tired of these fruits from poisoned trees Posted: September 27, 2011 at 02:37 AM (#3938471)

I live here and I've never heard of anyone on this team.

Nor should you have.

468. Benji Gil Gamesh VII - The Opt-Out Awakens Posted: September 27, 2011 at 02:38 AM (#3938474)

Honestly, I'm very nearly as excited about the Braves choking away their WC berth as I am about the Red Sox, especially because the Nationals played their own scrappy role in bringing it about.

Your "I'm not trolling" act would be more convincing if you were expressing pure excitement for the teams playing well rather than reveling in talking about choking and how much you hate one of the teams.

469. Der-K's tired of these fruits from poisoned trees Posted: September 27, 2011 at 02:38 AM (#3938477)

Oh, to be clear, I wrote 462 before the Berkman double.

470. Dan Posted: September 27, 2011 at 02:39 AM (#3938479)

Yup, you're right, I mis-remembered which game he came into the end of last week.

Everything else, though?

Yeah ...

I'm not suggesting that he's going to have more appearances where he's going to throw under 25% of his pitches for strikes, but if the Red Sox hopes come down to hoping Betances can out pitch David Price on Wednesday then I don't think they're in a very good position.

471. Esoteric Posted: September 27, 2011 at 02:39 AM (#3938484)

Your "I'm not trolling" act would be more convincing if you were expressing pure excitement for the teams playing well rather than reveling in talking about choking and how much you hate one of the teams.

I'm a Nats fan. I want the Braves and Mets and their fans to go straight to hell, with cordial exception of those on this site. And I make no apologies for that.

Otherwise it's all about the DRAMA.

472. Benji Gil Gamesh VII - The Opt-Out Awakens Posted: September 27, 2011 at 02:40 AM (#3938485)

I still can't get over that double steal. What a huge risk.

Don't you have an ESPN board to troll, little boy?

Well, that's true enough.

Christ, the Cardinals are relying on Nick Punto here?

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOH, another data point for the DON'T ####### SLIDE INTO FIRST, YOU ####### MORON truism.

476. Der-K's tired of these fruits from poisoned trees Posted: September 27, 2011 at 02:43 AM (#3938498)

Ozzie deal is for 2 minor leaguers, suggests an early ESPN report.

Yeah, Jon Jay! Hurrah for darling Nicky! Cards strand guys on 2nd and 3rd.

477. Der-K's tired of these fruits from poisoned trees Posted: September 27, 2011 at 02:45 AM (#3938501)

Even when he's at the plate, Jordan Schafer is in the hole.

478. Spahn Insane Posted: September 27, 2011 at 02:45 AM (#3938504)

Y'know, the Cards game has its own thread. C'mon over.

479. Miserable, Non-Binary Candy is all we deserve CoB Posted: September 27, 2011 at 02:46 AM (#3938505)

[476] Latest from mlbtraderumors.com:

9:18pm: The White Sox could obtain money in the deal instead of or along with a prospect, according to Joe Capozzi of the Palm Beach Post (Twitter link).

8:58pm: The White Sox are hoping for a "decent prospect" from the Marlins, but they aren't expecting anyone on Florida's 40-man roster, according to Bob Nightengale of USA Today (on Twitter).

Who knows?

480. Benji Gil Gamesh VII - The Opt-Out Awakens Posted: September 27, 2011 at 02:46 AM (#3938507)

a slide to first costs the go-ahead run

Sure looked like he might've had it. Der K 2 loves the dirtdoggishness I'm sure.

481. Mayor Blomberg Posted: September 27, 2011 at 02:49 AM (#3938515)

had the bag, Benji? Naw, not on the replay. Clank does a good Buckner, but the ball was slower than he is.

482. Benji Gil Gamesh VII - The Opt-Out Awakens Posted: September 27, 2011 at 02:51 AM (#3938521)

No no, I meant he well might've had it without the slide.

Not a lot of people in ATL actually give a #### about baseball, or, really pro sports.

The 2,000 people at Turner Field tonight beg to differ!

Either there's a misprint, or the Braves actually drew 42,597 tonight. There must have been a promotion where the first 10,000 people who showed up were a guaranteed lifetime of not being audited by the IRS.

Meanwhile, has there ever been an also-ran that's had a more thoroughly enjoyable September than the Orioles? They've tortured every contender and pretender without fear or favor.
