I guess poor Donnie will be on the hot-seat yet again.

I'd just like to point out that the suckingest sucks whoever sucked (the 2012 ALCS yankees) had a batting line of:

.157 / .224 / .264

and got their asses swept.

and the valiant, clutch and probable world champion 2013 red sox have hit:

.133 / .228 / .222

and are rolling downhill towards the series.

C'mon Dodgers.

Way to go Zach!

Couple ex-Sox with solo homers.

The Dodgers are 10 to 1 favorites right now. (Starting the bottom of the seventh.)

The Dodgers are unleashing their pent up homerage.
Homerage to Chavez Ravine.

Twenty to one favorites after the Elis homer.

Fifty to one with two outs in the eighth!
Wow, comebacks are hard.

Holy cow.
A(nother) Gon(e)!

Tying run at the plate.

Not worried at all, though.

Tying run on!
Still not worried.

Although, I will be worried if Carpenter comes to bat.

There ya go. See?

LET'S GO TI-GERS!! !!!

wow, the shit sox got a hit in the 1st.

let it be there last.

Okay, well, this looks like a good inning...

[15] Let it be where last?

Yes, exactly. V-Mart could have scored if he tagged up, but because the ball might have dropped, he had to go half-way because if he tagged up and it dropped, he couldn't have scored.

I'm sure that's exactly right.

Yay!
Hooray for Jake Peavy! Shoulda hit 'im. A-Jax probably deserved it.

Okay, I'll take that too!
My Little Juggly.

Nice play, pony. heh-heh.

[20] My Little Juggly. lol....

Yes!

And Jose "Julio" Iglesias scores too!

toriiiiiiiiii!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[23] actually, it was Enrique.

please let this 4-run lead hold up!!!

[22] They actually got no outs on that grounder, in fact. As even Tim McC noticed. A very "liberal' call for the force out at second. (That's because it's Fox. 'Liberal' means 'bad'.)

Oh, this is highly enjoyable.
Nothing better, when the Yankees aren't playing.

migs!

[27] Yup. Ok, Detroit. Don't go fucking this lead up ffs!

[27] Tee-hee...I have SUCH a good follow-up to that but it violates the Banter rules in every possible way so.. :)

I'm following on Gameday on my phone. Did Jake Peavy scream himself hoarse when coming off the mound?

JV is thinking "if you guys had gotten two of those runs for me yesterday, we'd be looking pretty sweet."

c'mon doug.

fist them!

[31] He was kind of surrounded by coaches immediately, so hard to tell.

Okay, Doug, that's enough. No Papi heroics, please.

Nice job, Fisty.

Do you think they call him 'Fisty'? I really hope they do.

[35] Was Rusty Kuntz called 'Kuntzy'?

I'm feeling excessively immature this morning so please, keep them coming.

Oh, god. I'm muting, that's it.
The worst thing about playoff baseball is Fox broadcasting.

[37] Details? At least next year Timmah will be gone, I'm sure Cowboy Millar will be a fine replacement.

[38] Oh, I don't know. I mean, they were talking about beards for a long time. Then Tim started spewing sentence fragments about Ortiz's grand slam. (I was going to say "Ortiz's salami", but I thought your 9 year old boy mood might explode.) It's the relentless stupidity and insipidity that gets to me.

My Little Stonehands!

Oh, ruled a hit, okay. Yeah, if I'm going to be real about it, that wasn't an error.

[39] 'relentless stupidity and insipidty'...hey, I thought we weren't allowed to talk about Congress here?

The beard thing..excruciating. I wonder what Uehara and Tazawa think about that whole phenomenon..

As to 9-year old humor, see the latest A-Rod gossip? Mamma Mia!

damn you, torrrrrriiiiiiiii........

lucky 7

[43] Hey, I was thinking that!
[42] You got 42 again.
[41] No, I didn't see the A-Rod gossip. I guess I'll take a holiday from that stuff while the Yankees aren't playing...

My Gameday MUST be faulty, said 'Miguel Cabrera steals (1) 2nd base'..

[45] And easily. He jogged.

Hm, I hear the Red Sox never give up. So this game is not over. Here in the sixth inning. Wow. They are an impressive bunch of gritsters. Beardy gritsters.

don't let them back in, fisty.

Hm.

GIDP time, please.

[48] Fisty getting some from Salty.

Whoosh! Down goes Drew!

Good Fisting!

nancy's sister got fisted.

[yeah, i just said that...]

chip caray's favorite fister is thru 6.

Can we have Austin Jackson back now? Starting next season, how about?

fisty to cokey

fistful of coke

[54][56] I would not be against signing Ellsbury. But then would have to find somehow get Will Myers too so it's be 'Jacoby & Myers in the outfield'.

[57] Excellent. And neither of them is Jewish!

don't let the speedy guy on with no outs.

i want fisticuffs back!

(Only Ellsbury is going to be badly overpaid, so not really, please.)

I'm Jewish ; )

[58] Paul Goldschmidt on that 'team' as well, isn't he? Sounds like an old Jackie Mason bit..or maybe that was Krusty the Klown..

[61] You wish.

dammit, new mexico.

my little groundout.

[64] I've been there. It reminded me of Intercourse, Pennsylvania.

[61][63] My half-Jewish/half-Muslim cousin (I know you can't be half a religion but you know what I mean) tells an EXTREMELY offensive but hilarious joke about his 'mixture'...which I will have to send you guys offline.

[65] Last two AB, he's been out by a combined 4 inches. (Of course, to him it seems like a lot.)

[67] I'm just guessing it's not kosher or ḥalāl. Filthy, dirty gentiles. (I'm a halfy myself, actually.)

smyle everyone! : )

[69] which half?

[63] i'm 100%. i'm also 100% non-practicing. drums/marimba = 100% practicing.

[66] me too. way to hot for me. but i dug the Nimbus Red Ale.

i've had that in that state! ; )

what about Bird In Hand, PA?!

[69] Hah! It's funny over here..the expression goes 'Japanese are born Shinto, marry Christian, and die Buddhist.' Or as one of my cynical J friends says "Our religion is just being 'Japanese'"

Let's hope that's the last Papi AB this game..

[71] Left.
[73] Nope.
But I was in Madison last month! It was great. My annual pilgrimage. Georgetown next weekend. World Series weekend, I mean.

So, Mr. Gloomypuss [0] is not looking too good with today's predictions.

my religion is music.

and i subscribe to the church of baseball.

[75] i'm lower.

madison is awesome.

georgetown was great, too.

i used to tour a lot. now i teach a ton...

The Sox' chances have inched up just above 1%.

Nope. With that pop out they drop well below.

Even Stephen.

Damn, Ortiz almost killed that pitch, he really did. Missed by maybe a millimeter underneath.

Fun game! Let's have another like that! Without any Benoit in it, how about!

[80] Ain't no 'Mo' in Benoit, that's fo sho!

series tied.

GO LES TIGRES!

Anyone watch Charlie Rose interview Mo. Some questions he didn't ask in an otherwise great q/A were about Mo's hitting and fielding.

Mo had one RBI over his illustrious career. It came in 2009 against the Mets. Facing Francisco Rodriquez, he walked with the bases loaded. A trivia question for the ages: who scored?

Otherwise, he batted .000.

Reading over the thread, you guys took your silly pills last night. Anyone still holding?
