Let’s Go Mets

thor-walt

Yeah, I said it. For one, I’ve liked rooting for this Mets team. Two, I am sick and tired of the Giants. Fug ‘em.

So there it is. A rare occasion around these parts, when I’d really like to see Los Mets win.

Never mind Bumgarner:

Let’s Go Mets! Let’s Go Mets! Let’s Go Mets!

Plus the Grandyman is on the Mets.

2 rbj   ~  Oct 5, 2016 7:48 pm

First hit of the night.

3 rbj   ~  Oct 5, 2016 8:01 pm

Hmm, looks safe. Out? I guess not overturnable

4 rbj   ~  Oct 5, 2016 8:25 pm

A well struck - out.

5 rbj   ~  Oct 5, 2016 8:36 pm

Scoring situation for the Mutts

6 rbj   ~  Oct 5, 2016 8:46 pm

And, no

7 rbj   ~  Oct 5, 2016 8:53 pm

And that ends the no no

8 rbj   ~  Oct 5, 2016 9:01 pm

iPad is getting low, night

9 Ara Just Fair   ~  Oct 5, 2016 10:11 pm

To hell with the mets.

10 MSM35   ~  Oct 5, 2016 10:26 pm

That was quick! This really should be 2 out of 3.

11 seamus   ~  Oct 6, 2016 11:12 am

So, I had to share this this morning. As I think many here know, I live in Pittsburgh. There is a fundraiser every year that is organized by the media unions in the city so it's basically the writers and photographers for the daily paper and people from the various tv news broadcasts and such. I've been once before and they basically poke fun at local politicians and celebrities and themselves. Anyhow, last night was the dress rehearsal and an organization my fiance works for was the benefactor. There was a bit of a running theme that centered on the Pirates. So the cast included an actor for Hurdle, McCutcheon, Glasnow, and..... Cervelli! The Cervelli stuff was hilarious. Apparently he's quite infamous locally for getting around with the ladies. I honestly had no idea since I only pay casual attention to the Pirates. Anyhow, he played a prominent role including a song titled "Cervelli" to the tune of "That's Amore" which I'll share later. I just thought it was fun that they highlighted Cervelli.

12 seamus   ~  Oct 6, 2016 11:13 am

Also, I think folks would have loved the "White Rabbit" satire "Doc Ellis" - obviously focused on his LSD no hitter.

13 thelarmis   ~  Oct 6, 2016 12:43 pm

Let's go, GIANTS!!!

They are my NL team. I love Grandy, but I was rooting for the Giants *hard* and am thrilled they won. I really hope they go all the way!

[9] Yes, this. Agreed!

In the AL, I just hope the Tribe sweep the Shit Sox and Texass destroys the Blow Jays.

[11] Frankie Brains and the Ladies! He's had a far more interesting career than anyone thought...

14 rbj   ~  Oct 6, 2016 4:36 pm

Hamels is shitting the bed.

15 rbj   ~  Oct 6, 2016 6:13 pm

Impressive outing by Estrada

16 rbj   ~  Oct 6, 2016 6:20 pm

Now th BJs just pouring it on.

17 rbj   ~  Oct 6, 2016 7:15 pm

Siddown, Betts

18 rbj   ~  Oct 6, 2016 7:49 pm

Tied up. Come on Cleveland

19 rbj   ~  Oct 6, 2016 8:06 pm

Indians with the lead

20 rbj   ~  Oct 6, 2016 8:12 pm

TBS sounds more excited about an Indian out than that they have the lead.

21 rbj   ~  Oct 6, 2016 8:19 pm

Tapping out, night all.

22 thelarmis   ~  Oct 6, 2016 11:43 pm

andrew with the win vs. the shit sox!!!

23 RIYank   ~  Oct 7, 2016 5:07 am

Fun game, I had to hear it on the radio. Sox get Porced in the third inning! The Boston radio crew were stunned. "And Rick looks shaken...", but actually they were the ones who seemed to be shaken.

[12] [13] Awesome, seamus. I love that kind of thing.

24 seamus   ~  Oct 7, 2016 10:09 am

[23] yeah me too. Here it is. Nothing ground breaking. I just enjoyed the Cervelli bit because as Thelarmis says, it's Frankie Brains!

THAT'S CERVELLI[

Cervelli:
When the moon floats on high and the Bucs break a tie
That's Cevelli.
When the Jumbotron shows
All my romantic prose
That's Cervelli.

Guys will sing, "He's the Latin King, he's the real thing"
As they live vita bella

Women:
Girls will say, "Frankie with a C, You're the one for me
I wish you were my fella."

Cervelli:
When the world seems to shine
like you've had too much wine,
That's Cervelli
When I look in your eyes and I whisper sweet lies
That's Cervelli.

When you walk in a dream
but you know you're not dreaming,
Signores,
Scuzza me, but you see, you can take it from me,
That's Cervelli!

25 rbj   ~  Oct 7, 2016 1:08 pm

Missing the Texas Toronto game, but it looks like Texas is blowing it again.

26 rbj   ~  Oct 7, 2016 1:46 pm

5-1 now, yup, blowing it.

27 rbj   ~  Oct 7, 2016 4:13 pm

Gee, put up a fight, Texas.

Indians grab an early lead.

28 rbj   ~  Oct 7, 2016 4:33 pm

4-0 lead.

29 MSM35   ~  Oct 7, 2016 4:45 pm

The Tribe may send the Sox home early. Maybe Brady can pinch hit.

30 rbj   ~  Oct 7, 2016 4:54 pm

Big Popup!

31 rbj   ~  Oct 7, 2016 4:57 pm

Phew

32 rbj   ~  Oct 7, 2016 5:13 pm

Aw, Big Choke David Price is out.

33 RIYank   ~  Oct 7, 2016 5:56 pm

Man, I missed a whole lot of fun. I got to listen to a little on the radio, driving to Maine. I'll go to the bar and watch the rest.
David Pricetag. Man. Good job, Cashman!

34 thelarmis   ~  Oct 7, 2016 5:58 pm

My little error!!!

35 rbj   ~  Oct 7, 2016 5:58 pm

Bwahahaha My Little Double Play Ball Error!

36 rbj   ~  Oct 7, 2016 5:58 pm

[34] Great Minds

37 thelarmis   ~  Oct 7, 2016 5:59 pm

[33] David Pricetag - good one!

Enjoy Maine!!! (I know you will...)

41 thelarmis   ~  Oct 7, 2016 6:01 pm

half-dozen runs already given up by kershaw and max already...

42 thelarmis   ~  Oct 7, 2016 6:02 pm

bases clogged with tribesmen.

l'shana tova!

43 thelarmis   ~  Oct 7, 2016 6:13 pm

kershaw is not mad-bum in the postseason...

4-3 LA, Bryce up.

44 thelarmis   ~  Oct 7, 2016 6:15 pm

klubot should go out for the 8th.

45 thelarmis   ~  Oct 7, 2016 6:17 pm

i get it, but isn't lebron a yankees fan?

46 rbj   ~  Oct 7, 2016 6:24 pm

Lebrun is a Yankees fan, but Cleveland is in, Yanks aren't

47 rbj   ~  Oct 7, 2016 6:28 pm

Good job, Corey

48 thelarmis   ~  Oct 7, 2016 6:32 pm

My little strikeout!

49 rbj   ~  Oct 7, 2016 6:38 pm

Phew!

50 thelarmis   ~  Oct 7, 2016 6:38 pm

Shutout intact!

51 rbj   ~  Oct 7, 2016 6:54 pm

Big Flyout

One down

52 rbj   ~  Oct 7, 2016 6:57 pm

Two down

53 rbj   ~  Oct 7, 2016 6:59 pm

Three down. Boston on the edge of elimination

54 RIYank   ~  Oct 7, 2016 7:00 pm

Excellent. Very fun. The other people at the bar were fuming, except for a couple of out-of-regioners.

55 RIYank   ~  Oct 7, 2016 7:02 pm

I had an Allegash Black and a Sam Adams Octoberfest, in case you were wondering.

56 rbj   ~  Oct 7, 2016 7:28 pm

[54] the tears of Shit Sox fans are the nectar of the gods.

57 thelarmis   ~  Oct 7, 2016 8:56 pm

RI - did you express joy at the outcome?

I really hope those scumbags get swept and Big Babi has on ofer.

Ooh, I have a Sam Adams Oktoberfest in my beer fridge. Maybe I'll have it now!

58 thelarmis   ~  Oct 7, 2016 9:55 pm

Great pitcher's duel on the north side.

Go Giants!!

59 thelarmis   ~  Oct 7, 2016 10:30 pm

Whoa. Javier Baez crushed Cueto's 108th pitch. Johnny was dealin'. Bottom of the 8th, so San Fran will have to face a rested Chapman. I'm guessing a steady diet of 103 mph gasballs...

60 thelarmis   ~  Oct 7, 2016 10:40 pm

BULLSHIT!!! there's no way he went. he didn't go!!!

awful, blue, awful. you should be fired on the spot! brutally terrible.

leadoff man should be on...

61 thelarmis   ~  Oct 7, 2016 10:43 pm

posey with a double. probably woulda tied it...

62 thelarmis   ~  Oct 7, 2016 10:50 pm

bollocks. a bullshit fucking first base ump ruined this game by ringing up a batter on a delayed appeal. it wasn't even that close. there's just NO way to mistake that he went around. total fucking horseshit.

nunie hit a ball that probably would've advanced the runner (who would've walked, as it was a full count) to second. he would've scored easily on posey's ringing double. we'd be in extras right now. crap...

63 thelarmis   ~  Oct 7, 2016 11:20 pm

larry back as pitching coach. signed a 1-yr deal for 2017.

[55] i liked the sam adams o'fest. i'm digging the highland brewery one now. really wish full sail continued theirs; it was my favorite of this seasonal...

64 RIYank   ~  Oct 8, 2016 6:34 am

[57] My reaction was appropriate. More smug, knowing contentment than joy. It's not dignified to whoop over Red Sox' losses; that kind of behavior is for Red Sox fans watching the Yankees.

65 rbj   ~  Oct 8, 2016 3:34 pm

Ah, Dodgers - Nats rained out.

66 rbj   ~  Oct 8, 2016 7:49 pm

Catchers interference and now a two RBI hit from the pitcher? Maybe it is the Cubs year

67 rbj   ~  Oct 8, 2016 7:52 pm

And a Pence error

68 thelarmis   ~  Oct 8, 2016 9:15 pm

cubs fans pissed about the review. well, the call was correct and chicago is winning.

i'm still pissed about the check swing call from last night. it was total bollocks and the giants would've tied the tied on the groundout and buster's double... : /

69 thelarmis   ~  Oct 8, 2016 9:25 pm

nuniE pinch hitting in the 7th.

70 Ara Just Fair   ~  Oct 8, 2016 9:47 pm

Howdy y'all. I'm resigned to the Indians. I'm so anti-theo that I simply can't root for the Cubs. Lol...

71 thelarmis   ~  Oct 8, 2016 9:55 pm

[70] hey man! yeah, i'm all for the giants, but that's not lookin' so good... i was thinkin' i'd pull for the cubs after that - i really like kris bryant - but the tribe can work too. they're definitely the AL team i'm pulling for...

72 Ara Just Fair   ~  Oct 8, 2016 10:11 pm

[71] jays-sox makes me ill. Nice to see our old buddy Chapman again.

73 thelarmis   ~  Oct 8, 2016 10:13 pm

[72] me too, my friend!

chapman threw smoke tonight. not lookin' good for the bay area...

How many times can they survive bases loaded?

76 rbj   ~  Oct 9, 2016 2:28 pm

Indians Red Sox postponed until Monday night.

77 GaryfromChevyChase   ~  Oct 9, 2016 2:47 pm

Dodgers have 11 left on base in scoring position.

78 rbj   ~  Oct 9, 2016 2:58 pm

No hablo Espanio. I think. Oh well, I'll watch the G-men get slaughtered in Green Bay.

85 thelarmis   ~  Oct 9, 2016 9:16 pm

[84] The English broadcast is on TBS...

86 thelarmis   ~  Oct 9, 2016 9:25 pm

good for you, matt bush!

that was FOUR strikes to Tulo. ump got fooled on the hook that was *clearly* a strike.

87 thelarmis   ~  Oct 9, 2016 9:49 pm

it is fucking LOUD in canada.

bottom of the 10th: donaldson, EE, Joey Batflip (asshole)

i can't imagine this one going to 11...

88 thelarmis   ~  Oct 9, 2016 9:51 pm

yeah, leadoff double.

doesn't look good...

89 thelarmis   ~  Oct 9, 2016 9:53 pm

IBB to EE to face Joey Batflip (asshole).

90 thelarmis   ~  Oct 9, 2016 9:55 pm

hey look at that - he complains at a called strike. just like Big Babi.

should've appealed to first on that check swing...

91 thelarmis   ~  Oct 9, 2016 9:56 pm

sit the FUCK down, you fucking fuck!!! : )

92 thelarmis   ~  Oct 9, 2016 10:02 pm

oh, fuck. pretty much a double play ball, but they couldn't turn it. dropped ball at first, donaldson raced home...safe.

there's a challenge, but it won't do anything. beltran and beltre were swept.

go tribe!

93 thelarmis   ~  Oct 9, 2016 10:04 pm

was really hoping matt bush was gonna get outta that...

94 thelarmis   ~  Oct 9, 2016 10:15 pm

in hindsight, elvis should've gone to third...or odor should've held onto the ball.

95 GaryfromChevyChase   ~  Oct 10, 2016 3:16 pm

Let's go Nats.

96 rbj   ~  Oct 10, 2016 3:32 pm

Nats blew a golden opportunity.

97 rbj   ~  Oct 10, 2016 4:14 pm

That's much better, Nats.

98 rbj   ~  Oct 10, 2016 5:23 pm

Uh oh, Dodgers mounting a comeback.

99 GaryfromChevyChase   ~  Oct 10, 2016 6:32 pm

Keep sending in those relievers!

Drew sucks, regardless of what uniform he has on.

103 GaryfromChevyChase   ~  Oct 10, 2016 6:55 pm

What a job by Kelley.

Thank you Jason!!!!

110 thelarmis   ~  Oct 10, 2016 7:25 pm

I like Jason Werth.

Go Tribe! Go Giants!

111 rbj   ~  Oct 10, 2016 7:28 pm

Miller on in the 6th

112 thelarmis   ~  Oct 10, 2016 7:28 pm

Tomlin was doing very well. Lifted after midget fucker singled. Our Man Andrew in. 6th inning, pinch hitter.

113 thelarmis   ~  Oct 10, 2016 7:29 pm

Full count. That coulda been strike 3...

114 thelarmis   ~  Oct 10, 2016 7:29 pm

That most definitely was strike three!!! : )

115 thelarmis   ~  Oct 10, 2016 7:31 pm

That's some beard Andrew has grown. Just hit 99 mph. (His left arm, not beard.)

Markus just smoked a ball. But the stoopid monstah kept it from going out. 2nd and 3rd, but two out.

Fat Lisr is up. Please get him out!

116 thelarmis   ~  Oct 10, 2016 7:31 pm

Flinch for strike one.

117 Boatzilla   ~  Oct 10, 2016 7:32 pm

[112] Miller in the 6th. I was gonna say, that's why Francona is a better manager than Giradi. But now, it's like uh-oh. Get Fat Bastard.

118 thelarmis   ~  Oct 10, 2016 7:33 pm

Lined out to center. Damn, I thought there were two outs...

Sac fly, 4-2. Markus stayed on second.

119 Boatzilla   ~  Oct 10, 2016 7:33 pm

Miller looks totally different with beard.

120 rbj   ~  Oct 10, 2016 7:35 pm

121 thelarmis   ~  Oct 10, 2016 7:36 pm

97 low and outside.
86 inside strike.
97 outside.
84 swinging strike.
SIDDOWN, Hanley!!!

122 thelarmis   ~  Oct 10, 2016 7:44 pm

Why does Hanley all of a sudden not suck at defense?

And why doesn't tbs show the pitch count?

123 thelarmis   ~  Oct 10, 2016 7:53 pm

Quick out for Andrew in the 7th.

124 thelarmis   ~  Oct 10, 2016 7:55 pm

Rare walk for tall Andrew. 28 pitchers. Howza bout a DP?!

125 thelarmis   ~  Oct 10, 2016 7:58 pm

2 outs. 0-2 count

126 thelarmis   ~  Oct 10, 2016 7:59 pm

Struck him out!

7 innings in the books. Andrew threw 35 pitches.

This Jose Ramirez player is pretty damn good.

129 Mr OK Jazz Tokyo   ~  Oct 10, 2016 8:16 pm

thelarmis! What you going to do if Papi goes yard here??

130 thelarmis   ~  Oct 10, 2016 8:18 pm

Closer Cody Allen into face Far Liar.

He's the tying run. Could be his last bat EVER. I really hope he strikes out looking! : )

131 thelarmis   ~  Oct 10, 2016 8:18 pm

Go back to practicing.

Ooh, I wish Markus got picked off and Big Babi wouldn't get to swing.

132 rbj   ~  Oct 10, 2016 8:19 pm

Yeah, walk him

133 thelarmis   ~  Oct 10, 2016 8:19 pm

A walk. Huh. Anti-climactic.

Gotta pinch run. No? That's just dumb.

134 Mr OK Jazz Tokyo   ~  Oct 10, 2016 8:20 pm

I don't like this...Hanley could easily launch one...C'mon Cleveland!

135 Mr OK Jazz Tokyo   ~  Oct 10, 2016 8:20 pm

They're not pinch-running for Papi??

136 rbj   ~  Oct 10, 2016 8:21 pm

Come on Indians

137 thelarmis   ~  Oct 10, 2016 8:21 pm

Tbs only shows the pitch count when they put up that annoying strike zone box.

Crap. 1-run game. Please get outta this, Cody Fucking Allen.

138 thelarmis   ~  Oct 10, 2016 8:22 pm

Now comes the pinch runner.

139 Mr OK Jazz Tokyo   ~  Oct 10, 2016 8:22 pm

165 thelarmis   ~  Oct 10, 2016 8:47 pm

Haha, strike two!

166 Mr OK Jazz Tokyo   ~  Oct 10, 2016 8:47 pm

[161] I have the Sox radio feed on so it's understandable..who's the TV crew?

167 rbj   ~  Oct 10, 2016 8:47 pm

Ugh

168 thelarmis   ~  Oct 10, 2016 8:47 pm

Hey, Ron Darling - I thought NO ONE in baseball is better at hitting that pitch?

Fuck. Walked him.

169 thelarmis   ~  Oct 10, 2016 8:49 pm

1-0 to Aaron fucking Hill

170 thelarmis   ~  Oct 10, 2016 8:49 pm

Strike one.

Get him OUT!

171 thelarmis   ~  Oct 10, 2016 8:50 pm

It's never easy...

172 thelarmis   ~  Oct 10, 2016 8:50 pm

He's gonna walk him to load the bases...

173 thelarmis   ~  Oct 10, 2016 8:50 pm

Strike two!

174 Mr OK Jazz Tokyo   ~  Oct 10, 2016 8:52 pm

Boom! It's the Year of Cleveland!

175 rbj   ~  Oct 10, 2016 8:52 pm

Ron Darling is the color guy. Tom Breneman (sp?)

Yes! Go home Big Babi!

176 thelarmis   ~  Oct 10, 2016 8:52 pm

Game Ovah!!!

SWEPT!!! BROOMS!!!

Celebrate like crazy on that field, Cleveland!!!

So sorry, announcers. Fuck each and every one of you!

40 pitches for the closer.

177 thelarmis   ~  Oct 10, 2016 8:53 pm

Ernie Johnson is the main guy.

178 rbj   ~  Oct 10, 2016 8:56 pm

[177] thanks

179 rbj   ~  Oct 10, 2016 8:58 pm

Your next challenge, Cleveland, is to send Joey Batflips home in tears.

180 Mr OK Jazz Tokyo   ~  Oct 10, 2016 8:59 pm

[179] I'm all in for the B Jays! O Canada! Anyone but the damn Cubbies.

181 MSM35   ~  Oct 10, 2016 9:01 pm

Good bye. Now I don't care who wins!

182 Alex Belth   ~  Oct 10, 2016 9:02 pm

Oh, How SWEET IT IS.

183 thelarmis   ~  Oct 10, 2016 9:13 pm

[180] Yikes. fuck joey batflip and the blow jays! go tribe in the AL.

Go Giants for everything!!! Mad Bum laboring a little early on. He's a pleasure to watch, especially in the postseason.

184 thelarmis   ~  Oct 10, 2016 9:14 pm

[182] Oh, how SWEEP it is!

185 thelarmis   ~  Oct 10, 2016 9:15 pm

oh my fucking god. holy fucking shit.

two strikes and jake arrieta just crushed a 3-run homerun off Mad Bum in SF. wow. just wow.

and, also...fuck. : /

186 thelarmis   ~  Oct 10, 2016 9:20 pm

50 pitches for mad bum through 2.

3-0 cubs

187 thelarmis   ~  Oct 10, 2016 9:43 pm

68 pitches for the mad bum through 3. some hard hits and loud outs...

188 thelarmis   ~  Oct 10, 2016 11:51 pm

wow. chapman coming into the 8th w/ 2 runners on, nobody out, and pence up. 1-run game.

i wonder if karma is gonna bite him in the ass. chapman, not pence. though, typing this it's already 0-2.

189 thelarmis   ~  Oct 10, 2016 11:53 pm

dammit. pence looked baaaaad in that a-b.

190 thelarmis   ~  Oct 10, 2016 11:56 pm

YESSSSSSSS!!!!!!

payback's a bitch. gillaspie with a 2-run triple! posey scored from 1st. my boy, brandon crawford up. man on 3rd, 1 out.

4-3 Giants : )

191 MSM35   ~  Oct 10, 2016 11:56 pm

Oh my! Send him back to the Yanks. So Joe Maddon didn't invent the game after all.

192 thelarmis   ~  Oct 10, 2016 11:59 pm

brandon comes through!

5-3. Yay : )

193 thelarmis   ~  Oct 11, 2016 12:02 am

brandon steals second, throw into CF. man on 3rd w/ 1-out...again!

194 thelarmis   ~  Oct 11, 2016 12:04 am

HA! Chapman pulled. Got 1 out. One.

195 Mr OK Jazz Tokyo   ~  Oct 11, 2016 12:05 am

Insane..lefty take his deep on a 102mph pitch.

196 MSM35   ~  Oct 11, 2016 12:15 am

Aside! The Arizona Fall League starts tomorrow. Who hits more homers Greg Bird or Tim Tebow?

197 thelarmis   ~  Oct 11, 2016 12:19 am

oh, come on, romo. don't walk the leadoff man. for fuck's sake!

198 thelarmis   ~  Oct 11, 2016 12:19 am

[196] I think Kap is pitching for us on Wed.

199 thelarmis   ~  Oct 11, 2016 12:22 am

wow. SF's bullpen is brutal. Romo walked the leadoff guy. Bryant tied the game. i do love that kid and he should totally be the MVP...

200 Mr OK Jazz Tokyo   ~  Oct 11, 2016 12:25 am

[199] Ladies seem to like him too! But we got the Sanchize and he's a Catcher so there!

201 thelarmis   ~  Oct 11, 2016 12:34 am

fuck! what a catch!!! : /

202 Mr OK Jazz Tokyo   ~  Oct 11, 2016 12:37 am

[201] Heard on the radio, great call by Jon Miller.
Got a boring work call in 25mins, hope the game ends by then!

203 thelarmis   ~  Oct 11, 2016 12:43 am

ooh, i wish i had miller. i've got fox sports 1. bawring...

204 thelarmis   ~  Oct 11, 2016 12:48 am

[202] smoltz is actually in the booth. the shit sox aren't playing, so he doesn't care. you wouldn't know such a fucking tool is announcing. if this were the boston game, he'd be beyond insufferable.

205 Mr OK Jazz Tokyo   ~  Oct 11, 2016 12:50 am

[204] You watching on MLB TV or regular TV? On mlb.com you can choose the radio feed while watching..I think..

206 thelarmis   ~  Oct 11, 2016 12:56 am

come on, giants - walk it off in the eleventh hour!

207 thelarmis   ~  Oct 11, 2016 12:57 am

[205] FS1 on regular tv. i have mlb.tv and can watch the SF feed, but it'll be way behind the live version...

208 thelarmis   ~  Oct 11, 2016 12:57 am

i'm doing laundry and a bunch of other things at the same time. really need this game to end so i can get on with my night...

209 thelarmis   ~  Oct 11, 2016 1:00 am

leadoff hit! me likey.

210 Mr OK Jazz Tokyo   ~  Oct 11, 2016 1:01 am

[209] We're keeping the Banter awake. I got another boring call coming in shortly though...

211 thelarmis   ~  Oct 11, 2016 1:03 am

stoopid fucking bunt. gave away an out. expect a little used, last player on the bench, to come in and get a HIT! bollocks.

212 thelarmis   ~  Oct 11, 2016 1:03 am

[210] the banter has been sleeping for most of the season... : (

213 Mr OK Jazz Tokyo   ~  Oct 11, 2016 1:04 am

[212] The Young Yanks' should liven it up next season.

214 thelarmis   ~  Oct 11, 2016 1:13 am

wait, what? he caught that! it was an amazing catch!!!

replay is ridiculous. this better be quick...

215 Mr OK Jazz Tokyo   ~  Oct 11, 2016 1:18 am

[214] I like replay. Get the calls right!
Missed the catch on my boring call.. :(

216 thelarmis   ~  Oct 11, 2016 1:18 am

heart of the order vs. a tired reliever. giants better walk it off here...

217 thelarmis   ~  Oct 11, 2016 1:20 am

[215] yes, and replay got the call correct! i have NO idea how the ump got that wrong in real time. no one does...

plus, the giants shouldn't have lost game 1. terrible call on the check swing...

this is awful. 2 pitches, 2 outs. total bollocks. this reliever was at over 40 pitches and he sucks to begin with. belt and posey went down weakly and pence is immediately 0-2.

218 thelarmis   ~  Oct 11, 2016 1:21 am

nice hustle, hunter!

219 thelarmis   ~  Oct 11, 2016 1:30 am

really need a dp here...

220 thelarmis   ~  Oct 11, 2016 1:31 am

if this is the FIFTH time Kontos is up in the bullpen tonight, does he really need to throw? he should be warmed up by now!

221 thelarmis   ~  Oct 11, 2016 1:34 am

double play!!

review...

222 thelarmis   ~  Oct 11, 2016 1:37 am

shouldn't take this long... out!

come on crawford, do something special!!!

223 Mr OK Jazz Tokyo   ~  Oct 11, 2016 1:41 am

[222] 50 pitches for Montgomery..surely they can wait for a fat pitch?

224 thelarmis   ~  Oct 11, 2016 1:41 am

there's my boy. 0-2, rips a hustle double to start the 13th!

225 thelarmis   ~  Oct 11, 2016 1:43 am

Widespread PANIK!!!

fuck yeah : )

226 Mr OK Jazz Tokyo   ~  Oct 11, 2016 1:48 am

Boom! See ya back here tomorrow night!

227 thelarmis   ~  Oct 11, 2016 1:49 am

maybe. long night of teaching...

228 rbj   ~  Oct 11, 2016 6:16 pm

Looks like the Dodgers are about to tie up the series

229 rbj   ~  Oct 11, 2016 6:23 pm

10 Ks for Kershaw on short rest

230 rbj   ~  Oct 11, 2016 6:27 pm

Wow, Kershaw, batting in bottom of sixth

231 rbj   ~  Oct 11, 2016 6:57 pm

Tied up! Roberts went a batter too long with Kershaw

232 rbj   ~  Oct 11, 2016 7:33 pm

11 HBP in this series? Crazy

233 rbj   ~  Oct 11, 2016 7:38 pm

Dodgers take the lead

234 rbj   ~  Oct 11, 2016 7:50 pm

Game 5 between Nats and Dodgers!

235 thelarmis   ~  Oct 11, 2016 10:52 pm

Holy crap. Giants cursing 5-2 in the 9th. They have NO bullpen. Now, it's tied with a fast runner on 2nd and only 1 out. Matt Moore pitched 8 great frames. A whole slew of pitchers have shit the bed in the 9th. : /

236 thelarmis   ~  Oct 11, 2016 10:55 pm

And there it is. O-2...go ahead single. I don't believe it.

Cubs are winning : (

237 thelarmis   ~  Oct 11, 2016 11:06 pm

i really thought the giants would win tonight and take game 5.

damn...

238 rbj   ~  Oct 12, 2016 6:49 pm

After the Giants pen melt down, Chapman's price just went up.
