Announcers doing a quick dick tuck
4-0 rays.
All over the Rays special stinger now.
Quinlan's Goofy Swing - October 13, 2008

Lester no longer the "best pitcher in the league right now"
Must be tough being a fannouncer
Quinlan's Goofy Swing - October 13, 2008
Wonder what happened to
JD “Ted Williams” Drew?
Ajax - October 13, 2008
that Mickey Mantle to you!
howiestheman - October 13, 2008
LOL it's funny how on the top of the 3rd inning the announcers said......
“Hey isnt this when Lester becomes a different pitcher and hitters have a VERY hard time hitting his pitches.”
The very next pitch went for a single, then when Iwamura hit the double they were all over the Rays saying, “You notice how good Bartlet reads the ball, he knew it was going off the green monster.” Now it seems they have switched their T.B.S. services to the Ray’s.

Was that the very first
checkswing strike in Kevin Youkilis’ career?
Guess the ump strokes are fair in this game and the Pantyhose cannot cope.
Rev Halofan - October 13, 2008
Shoot, I missed the homerun balls.
The damn halogen lamp in my TV blew just as the game was getting ready to start. I found this cool Asian lady in Glendale to fix it for me for $180. Only took her an hour to get it fixed for me. She was a baseball fan too. Oh well, at least my house is’nt going up in flames or anything.
44FAN - October 13, 2008
for a minte there
your post sounded like one of those “Letters to Penthouse Magazine…”
Rev Halofan - October 13, 2008
Her name was Susie.
44FAN - October 13, 2008
Wait.
53 at bats and counting for Ortiz without a postseason home run? Why is this the first I’m hearing of this? Wasn’t that about the same streak they mentioned for Vlad during EVERY AT BAT?
leftwing - October 13, 2008
to their credit
they may gangbang a guy when he is up, but they spit on him when he is down after 50 AB regardless of his team…
Rev Halofan - October 13, 2008
Yeah, true.
Though, and this may just be my own fandom showing through, when they say it about Vlad, it sounds like, “This guy is a choker, he hasn’t hit a homer in 53 postseason at bats!”. But when it’s about Ortiz, it’s more like, “He’s such a great player, he must be due, he hasn’t hit a homer in 53 postseason at bats!”
leftwing - October 13, 2008
Adding....
And, now that I read what I just wrote, that’s pretty justifiable, since Ortiz HAS proven that he can dominate in the postseason, and Vlad really hasn’t.

"during the traditional 8th inning stretch"
only a halfhearted rendition of Sweet Caroline.
I hate that song.
TheTypingFiend - October 13, 2008
You should try having to play it
when the people paying you requested it and you just watched the Angels lose game 4. Talk about hatred. Still debating on quitting that job…
Seik1177 - October 13, 2008
I was at a piano bar for game two
and they played that song 3 times.
Needless to say I stopped sending up tips.
TheTypingFiend - October 13, 2008
I agree with you to a point, but "Buttercup" should not be played in any baseball stadium anywhere ever.
Now a confession…my wife and I went back to a game at Fenway in April, 2007 (Angels-Sux). The Angels lost…I think it was 8-1. Carrasco started in place of Escobar. It was just a bad game and a bad road trip for the Angels (that was when they played 3 games against Cleveland in Milwaukee ’cause Cleveland was under about a foot of snow). Oh well…we had never been to Boston or Fenway, so it was still worthwhile.
Here’s the confession…after the game they played “Tessie” by Dropkick Murphys over the PA system. I had never heard the song before. If you haven’t heard it, Tessie is a great victory song…the kind you can imagine singing with like-minded fans or buddies. And…damn…I was just kind of jealous. About…maybe 5000 people singing together a kind of fun party/bar song. I really liked that. It just created a sense of comraderie…well for Boston fans anyway. I have thought since then, what would be an equal for the Angels? I haven’t come up with anything, not yet anyway.

kool and the gang
SELL A BRAID GOOD TIMES COME ON
Rev Halofan - October 13, 2008
Sell a braid, a corn row, a jerry-curl, whatever it takes.
sothball - October 13, 2008
lol
stolenbases - October 13, 2008
This is fun......watching the Sux get pounded by our very own Joe's Rays.
I also like watching all those fans leave in the 8th. What great fans, best in the world if you ask me.
acuda27 - October 13, 2008
I also enjoyed watching the exodus.
Hey Bostonians, maybe someday you can grow up to be real baseball fans.
teopeht - October 13, 2008
this is amazing
where are the “faithful” now, douchebags?!
HAHAHAHAHAHA
howiestheman - October 13, 2008
"how about that John LestAH?"
makes me sicker and sicker we got punked by him twice.
“he’s a cansAH survivAH”- yeah yeah, we got it.
this is why I should stay away from de beisbol. go Rays, but still… grrrrrrrr.
gdog009 - October 13, 2008
RAYS WIN!!!!!!!!!!!!
Take that Bahstun
acuda27 - October 13, 2008
woohooooo!! That one made my day!
ladybug - October 13, 2008
ding dong the dicks are dead
at least for this game anyway. good job Rays!
SCHalo - October 13, 2008
Wakefield goes tomorrow should be good.
hauldog - October 13, 2008
Good=Asskicking
The sox are screwed.
Mwaahahahahah!
ViolaHalo - October 13, 2008
"And the Fenway Faithful make a mass exodus for the exits."
This was after 8-1 in the top of the 8th. I love the irony in this statement that I’m fairly sure the announcers didnt even notice.
linkbruin - October 13, 2008
This just in:
Clearance sale on Red Sox gear at your local Wal Mart.
Ajax - October 13, 2008
JC Romero pitching for Philly...
…can anyone explain why he couldn’t pitch for us (OK…he was decent against lefties)?
sothball - October 13, 2008
tough loss for the dodgers
then again, weren’t all of our losses to boston tough ones? game seemed more like they had the game to win and gave it up, as we did…repeatedly.
teopeht - October 13, 2008
That Andre Either at bat was huge
J.C. Romero was having trouble getting strikes on Furcal and walks him to lead off-the 8th. Just as the Dodgers seemed to be gaining some momentum, Either swings at the 1st pitch for a double play with Manny on deck. That just killed the inning for the Dodgers.
stolenbases - October 13, 2008
i think Hatcher was there for an '88 reunion
and gave some hitting tips to Andre.
SCHalo - October 13, 2008
Tough loss Dodgers ,but how about those Rays!
Wow, two clutch Hits by the Phillies one by Victorino and how about that homer by Stairs? Looks like the Dodgers have a Howie Kendrick of their own in Russell Martin, leaving 8 men stranded. But any ways, that was a great win by the Rays in Boston, congrats to Joe Maddon. Wish we had Longoria and Upton on the Angels.
310Angel - October 13, 2008
the Stairs homer hasn't landed yet
that was a moon shot.
SCHalo - October 13, 2008
Why does everyone get excited with Boston losing?
That just makes OUR performance look even more pathetic.
bc56274 - October 14, 2008
the whole we lost to the team that won the world series is old
id rather see boston destroyed…we’re out, style points dont count for anything if you dont win it all.
linkbruin - October 14, 2008
agreed
i just can’t get behind the idea of rooting for the team that beat our team. the rays on the other hand have maddon, a cinderalla story, AND they weren’t the team that kicked us out of the playoffs.
teopeht - October 14, 2008
great night
doyers and bashhhhhhhhtin both lose.
a ryas/phillies series is now acceptable to me.
linkbruin - October 14, 2008
same
although I feel bad for the dodgers. id rather see them get beat in 7 games in the WS than to the phillies.
teopeht - October 14, 2008
the one reason i disagree withthat
yes, a heartbreaking defeat would be awesome, but realize that with every postseason game, McCourt makes money.
