101. Textbook Editor Posted: September 28, 2011 at 11:35 PM (#3941826)

Visit to the mound in TB after 15 pitches? Really? I wonder what the record is for earliest trip to the mound?

102. ray james Posted: September 28, 2011 at 11:36 PM (#3941827)

I don't think Crawford got out of shape. He seems like a fitness nut. If anything, he probably works out TOO hard during the season and tires himself out.

I'm not so sure, Dan. Maybe he got too tight and got out of "baseball shape". He should have at least 30 steals by now, instead of the measly 18 he actually has.

I think the Sox chatterers are taking a major karmic risk by segregating themselves from the general Primate population.

104. Matt Clement of Alexandria Posted: September 28, 2011 at 11:37 PM (#3941833)

Big K by Betances.

105. Matt Clement of Alexandria Posted: September 28, 2011 at 11:37 PM (#3941835)

I think the Sox chatterers are taking a major karmic risk by segregating themselves from the general Primate population.

We've got our own thing, you know? We been chattering together all year.

106. Darren

Posted: September 28, 2011 at 11:38 PM (#3941836)

So here's where the cool kids are.

107. Phil Coorey. Posted: September 28, 2011 at 11:38 PM (#3941837)

Good to see a fan turn a baseball down - never seen the attraction in trying to get one at a game. You can buy them at a store, right?!?

108. Dan Posted: September 28, 2011 at 11:38 PM (#3941838)

Betances is looking a bit better

109. Lassus Posted: September 28, 2011 at 11:38 PM (#3941840)

Visit to the mound in TB after 15 pitches? Really? I wonder what the record is for earliest trip to the mound?

Wasn't a Mets pitcher taken out after five pitches or something this year? Or something else? I feel I should remember this.

110. Mister High Standards Posted: September 28, 2011 at 11:38 PM (#3941841)

DB gets it done

111. Jose is an Absurd Sultan Posted: September 28, 2011 at 11:38 PM (#3941842)

Anyone remember why Lester was starting on three days rest in April, 2008.

Betances through one.

112. ray james Posted: September 28, 2011 at 11:39 PM (#3941843)

Well, it has nothing to do with karma. It has to do with not wanting to keep track of 7 simultaneous conversations.

113. Dan Posted: September 28, 2011 at 11:39 PM (#3941844)

Is always seems like the Red Sox SS is out of position. They really ,really need to get someone better at data analysis to help out on defensive positioning.

114. Jose is an Absurd Sultan Posted: September 28, 2011 at 11:39 PM (#3941845)

Either the Sox will win or the Sox will lose. If they win I want to share it with Sox fans, if they lose I'll probably say something I regret to a fan of another team.

115. Textbook Editor Posted: September 28, 2011 at 11:40 PM (#3941847)

NOAA Radar of Baltimore Area

Does seem like some stuff will be bearing down in about 45 minutes-1 hour.

116. Matt Clement of Alexandria Posted: September 28, 2011 at 11:40 PM (#3941849)

Love the cutter diving in on the right-hander.

117. ray james Posted: September 28, 2011 at 11:40 PM (#3941850)

Hey, Matt Rauseo. How's it going, matt?

118. Darren

Posted: September 28, 2011 at 11:40 PM (#3941851)

How many infield hits does this team give up?

119. Darren

Posted: September 28, 2011 at 11:41 PM (#3941852)

Very nice turn by Peds!

120. Mister High Standards Posted: September 28, 2011 at 11:41 PM (#3941853)

Nice turn

121. Jose is an Absurd Sultan Posted: September 28, 2011 at 11:41 PM (#3941854)

That was two horseshit throws but they got the DP

122. booond Posted: September 28, 2011 at 11:41 PM (#3941856)

Nice DP

123. Benji Gil Gamesh VII - The Opt-Out Awakens Posted: September 28, 2011 at 11:41 PM (#3941857)

That was big.

124. Matt Clement of Alexandria Posted: September 28, 2011 at 11:41 PM (#3941858)

Hot damn. Aviles did try to screw that one up - nice pick and turn by Pedroia.

125. ray james Posted: September 28, 2011 at 11:41 PM (#3941859)

Ok, Lester looks fine so far.

126. Textbook Editor Posted: September 28, 2011 at 11:42 PM (#3941861)

That was a nice DP.

And the Yankees wiggle out of it.

127. Dan Posted: September 28, 2011 at 11:42 PM (#3941862)

I really like Lowrie's D at third more than Aviles. Aviles has a scattershot arm.

Upton just robbed Montero of a hit on a sinking liner.

128. Phil Coorey. Posted: September 28, 2011 at 11:42 PM (#3941863)

We are not meant to be passionate as they won it all in 04 and 07 - do they really want me chattering over there?

I'll save the PG 13 stuff for over there I think

Meanwhile - ####### great double play

129. Mister High Standards Posted: September 28, 2011 at 11:43 PM (#3941865)

RJ I'm great man, how you doing?

130. ray james Posted: September 28, 2011 at 11:43 PM (#3941868)

Really, Dan? I would have said the same thing about Lowrie.

131. Matt Clement of Alexandria Posted: September 28, 2011 at 11:43 PM (#3941869)

Looks like Upton might have hurt his hand on that catch. It looked awkward - I sprained a thumb doing just about exactly what Upton did there.

132. Textbook Editor Posted: September 28, 2011 at 11:44 PM (#3941871)

Although if you extrapolate it out, it's possible the storms go just a bit south of Baltimore. Hard to tell.

133. Mister High Standards Posted: September 28, 2011 at 11:44 PM (#3941873)

Aviles doesn't seem like he has been that good as a good guy.

134. ray james Posted: September 28, 2011 at 11:44 PM (#3941876)

Fine, Matt. Just fine.

135. Darren

Posted: September 28, 2011 at 11:45 PM (#3941880)

Let's blow this damn thing open.

136. Dan Posted: September 28, 2011 at 11:45 PM (#3941881)

Nuñez doubles with 1 out. Yankees have another threat. Price is having to make a lot of high intensity pitches.

Nice AB from Aviles.

137. Textbook Editor Posted: September 28, 2011 at 11:45 PM (#3941882)

Dear god, MLB thought it a good idea to put Joe West behind the plate of a key game with playoff implications?

138. ray james Posted: September 28, 2011 at 11:45 PM (#3941883)

Price doesn't look so good. Nunez just doubled off him.

139. Phil Coorey. Posted: September 28, 2011 at 11:45 PM (#3941884)

Every double play is ####### great to me at this stage!!

140. Jose is an Absurd Sultan Posted: September 28, 2011 at 11:45 PM (#3941885)

Wieters can throw but Simon seems like the kind of guy we could run on.

141. booond Posted: September 28, 2011 at 11:46 PM (#3941888)

Here we go.

142. Benji Gil Gamesh VII - The Opt-Out Awakens Posted: September 28, 2011 at 11:46 PM (#3941891)

Aviles has actually hit .327/.343/.449. I knew he hadn't been useless at the plate but I didn't think he'd been that good.

143. Hugh Jorgan Posted: September 28, 2011 at 11:47 PM (#3941897)

Wanders over from other chatter....sees friendly faces.

144. Benji Gil Gamesh VII - The Opt-Out Awakens Posted: September 28, 2011 at 11:48 PM (#3941898)

Els is the teats.

145. Phil Coorey. Posted: September 28, 2011 at 11:48 PM (#3941899)

Never thought I'd say this - go Jeter

146. Matt Clement of Alexandria Posted: September 28, 2011 at 11:48 PM (#3941900)

Ellsbury uses the slappy swing, uses it at the right time.

147. Darren

Posted: September 28, 2011 at 11:48 PM (#3941901)

bunt time!

148. Jose is an Absurd Sultan Posted: September 28, 2011 at 11:48 PM (#3941902)

We're not booing, we're saying "Huuuuuuuuuugh"

149. Captain Joe Bivens, Pointless and Wonderful Posted: September 28, 2011 at 11:48 PM (#3941904)

And now, the tatooing begins.

150. Jose is an Absurd Sultan Posted: September 28, 2011 at 11:49 PM (#3941907)

Yes!

151. Captain Joe Bivens, Pointless and Wonderful Posted: September 28, 2011 at 11:49 PM (#3941908)

BINGO!!

152. Darren

Posted: September 28, 2011 at 11:49 PM (#3941909)

Yeah! Peds!

153. Matt Clement of Alexandria Posted: September 28, 2011 at 11:49 PM (#3941910)

Never thought I'd say this - go Jeter

It's awful what this team has done to us. No matter what they accomplish, it's not forgiveable...

YAY! Runs!!!

154. ellsbury my heart at wounded knee Posted: September 28, 2011 at 11:49 PM (#3941911)

YES! LAZER SHOW!

155. Benji Gil Gamesh VII - The Opt-Out Awakens Posted: September 28, 2011 at 11:49 PM (#3941912)

#### yeah!!

156. ray james Posted: September 28, 2011 at 11:49 PM (#3941913)

YAY!!

157. Phil Coorey. Posted: September 28, 2011 at 11:49 PM (#3941914)

Wanders over from other chatter....sees friendly faces.

Just in time for a ####### fuck yeah!!

C'Mon boys

158. Dan Posted: September 28, 2011 at 11:49 PM (#3941916)

Hell yeah. Great to score first and take off some of the pressure. Now keep the line moving, Papi!

159. booond Posted: September 28, 2011 at 11:49 PM (#3941917)

That's 1, let's get more

160. Textbook Editor Posted: September 28, 2011 at 11:49 PM (#3941918)

Boy, you compare Ellsbury's swing on balls like that to left to the ones from the 2007 playoffs and it's like night and day. Then it was slappy and now it's with power.

161. ellsbury my heart at wounded knee Posted: September 28, 2011 at 11:49 PM (#3941919)

Let's open this up, Papi...

162. Hugh Jorgan Posted: September 28, 2011 at 11:49 PM (#3941920)

Let's go, here we go...that's 1, now let's put a nice big, fat crooked number up!

163. Benji Gil Gamesh VII - The Opt-Out Awakens Posted: September 28, 2011 at 11:50 PM (#3941921)

Jeter giving Price a battle, at least.

164. Captain Joe Bivens, Pointless and Wonderful Posted: September 28, 2011 at 11:50 PM (#3941922)

Papi gets into one here.

165. Phil Coorey. Posted: September 28, 2011 at 11:50 PM (#3941923)

Please no squander guys

166. ray james Posted: September 28, 2011 at 11:50 PM (#3941924)

I'm in Springfield VA and I just heard thunder outside. When I drove home about 6, it tooled like it was clearing.

167. Matt Clement of Alexandria Posted: September 28, 2011 at 11:50 PM (#3941925)

Pspi's going deep tonight.

168. Phil Coorey. Posted: September 28, 2011 at 11:50 PM (#3941926)

bases loaded for yankees

169. Jim Wisinski

Posted: September 28, 2011 at 11:50 PM (#3941928)

The fact that the Rays playoff hopes depend on David Price and Alfredo Simon is not remotely comforting to me.

170. Koot Posted: September 28, 2011 at 11:50 PM (#3941929)

NY has the bases loaded.

171. Textbook Editor Posted: September 28, 2011 at 11:51 PM (#3941932)

48 pitches for Price with 1 out in the 2nd.

Wonder if they'd get Moore up for this game?

172. Biff, highly-regarded young guy Posted: September 28, 2011 at 11:51 PM (#3941934)

######' Granderson.

173. Jose is an Absurd Sultan Posted: September 28, 2011 at 11:51 PM (#3941935)

####### Granderson

174. Dan Posted: September 28, 2011 at 11:51 PM (#3941936)

Granderson pops up the first pitch with the bases loaded. Price at 49 pitches though.

175. Benji Gil Gamesh VII - The Opt-Out Awakens Posted: September 28, 2011 at 11:52 PM (#3941938)

Granderson pops out. Up to Horseface.

176. ellsbury my heart at wounded knee Posted: September 28, 2011 at 11:52 PM (#3941939)

DAMMIT

177. Matt Clement of Alexandria Posted: September 28, 2011 at 11:52 PM (#3941940)

Yanks are fixin' to squander.

WTF Papi. Now we're squandering.

178. Dan Posted: September 28, 2011 at 11:52 PM (#3941941)

God ####### damnit Ortiz.

179. Biff, highly-regarded young guy Posted: September 28, 2011 at 11:52 PM (#3941942)

####, complete buzzkill in a minute or so. Granderson and now Ortiz GIDP.

180. Captain Joe Bivens, Pointless and Wonderful Posted: September 28, 2011 at 11:52 PM (#3941944)

That's ok, this guy is toast, this inning or next.

181. Phil Coorey. Posted: September 28, 2011 at 11:52 PM (#3941946)

Nice at bat Papi - ####### great

182. ray james Posted: September 28, 2011 at 11:52 PM (#3941948)

Criminy. The Yankees have them loaded after Jeter walks with 1 out and Granderson pops up on the first pitch.

183. booond Posted: September 28, 2011 at 11:52 PM (#3941949)

Papi racing down baseline

184. Biff, highly-regarded young guy Posted: September 28, 2011 at 11:52 PM (#3941950)

FIRST BASE BEING OPEN IS ####### IRRELEVANT WITH 2 OUTS

WHY DO ANNOUNCES PERSIST ON SAYING THIS ####

185. Jose is an Absurd Sultan Posted: September 28, 2011 at 11:53 PM (#3941951)

For cryin' out loud we just can't seem to get big hits.

186. Benji Gil Gamesh VII - The Opt-Out Awakens Posted: September 28, 2011 at 11:53 PM (#3941952)

Really, Buck? Really??

187. Textbook Editor Posted: September 28, 2011 at 11:53 PM (#3941953)

Here's the 1st of the 3 IBBs I predicted in the other thread...

MAKE HIM PAY

188. karlmagnus Posted: September 28, 2011 at 11:53 PM (#3941954)

Useless Fatso blows it again. let's not have him back next year.

189. Matt Clement of Alexandria Posted: September 28, 2011 at 11:53 PM (#3941955)

It is Boor time!

190. Jose is an Absurd Sultan Posted: September 28, 2011 at 11:53 PM (#3941957)

Why would it be irrelevant? You don't want to push a guy into scoring position, at least I don't.

191. Darren

Posted: September 28, 2011 at 11:53 PM (#3941958)

The fact that the Rays playoff hopes depend on David Price and Alfredo Simon is not remotely comforting to me.

And they say Red Sox and Yankees fans are spoiled.

192. ellsbury my heart at wounded knee Posted: September 28, 2011 at 11:53 PM (#3941959)

Make 'em pay Lavarnway

193. Dan Posted: September 28, 2011 at 11:53 PM (#3941960)

Teixeira GRAND SLAM!!!!

194. Benji Gil Gamesh VII - The Opt-Out Awakens Posted: September 28, 2011 at 11:53 PM (#3941961)

SLAM FOR TEX!!!!!!!!

195. Phil Coorey. Posted: September 28, 2011 at 11:53 PM (#3941962)

Grand slam!!!!

196. Lassus Posted: September 28, 2011 at 11:53 PM (#3941963)

We are not meant to be COUGHinsanelyvindictiveCOUGH as they won it all in 04 and 07 - do they really want me chattering over there?

And, Yankees grandslam.

197. Biff, highly-regarded young guy Posted: September 28, 2011 at 11:54 PM (#3941965)

Teixeira grand slam.

198. Jose is an Absurd Sultan Posted: September 28, 2011 at 11:54 PM (#3941969)

TEX!!!

199. Matt Clement of Alexandria Posted: September 28, 2011 at 11:54 PM (#3941970)

FIRST BASE BEING OPEN IS ####### IRRELEVANT WITH 2 OUTS

I think it matters because you're not moving the runners up, not because of the DP.

200. Darren

Posted: September 28, 2011 at 11:54 PM (#3941973)

Please explain the "boor" joke. Please?
