why wont these yankees dieeee!!

quick get ur cross out
still waiting for bulger to get loose
So we're gonna burn this ship to the ground huh
Gonna be an uphill battle for us

to score any more.

We better hope that Mo rivers is tired..

he's only good for 1.1 - 1.2 innings

that’s the upside

COmpared to game 2

with his 2.2 0ER :(

Angels suck

jk…. :]

get jepsen outta there...

please just get the K!

I wish I could listen to Hud right now.
um hello Strikes please sir...........
jepsen is scaring the shit out of me right now
Angels radio announcer

ready to explode.
vr, Xei

it's so refreshing isn't it
Rory

not Terry… Rory seems to shout more, but I still like him.

I WANT HUD!
Rory and Terry are a great team on the radio
I agree..

but I STILL want Hud!

o god… sosc is playing with fire right now

WHAT THE HELL IS HE DOING IN

this is almost do or die, Bulger get in there
What does Soth not understand about

walk, homerun, smash basehit, walk?

Damn! I wish that killed one of them!
Now now

A concussion would be fine.

Damn

He missed ARod.

c'mon jepsen

get it done man.. we need you..

Ah, so close to hitting one of them...

almost :/

Mathis is trying to save the season.
hopefully he does

then he’s sooooo getting laid!

Guess who's up now?
Dammit

ALMOST hit aroids!

lordess this i taking years offf my life

o man, heart almost droopeed

Good breaking ball there
how great would that be if it hit a-rod in the teeth
ok mike pull him
Good K Jepsen.

Good stop by Mathis.

1 more out, kid.
finally a righty
Jeter

of all people, but I have faith.

Yikes,,,,,rookie against the HOF'r with tie score in playoff game
You're not so bad Jeter

Let’s fan his ass.

Making of

ESPN instant classic game?
vr, Xei

Let's hope not

They heart the Yankees.

That walk to Swisher is going to haunt us

please god, pleaseeee god

Wow.....Jeter didnt get the call there
Come on Jeps, one more strike

Sit the motherfucking down you motherfucking motherfucker!!!

Jeter Grounds out to pitcher
I hope every foul ball hits a band wagon Yankee fan
The hair gel will protect them
What about that fucking prick Giuliani?

not enough hair anymore.

I can't decide which Yankee I hate the most

All of them.

no decision necessary - just hate them all

swisher, aroids, and joba top my list

not a hard choice...

there aren’t any to like

okay, we lived now we need to break it open
Alright!

Let’s go Abreu!

The Baseball Gods

favor us.

Good job Jepsen...

sort of. Could have been worse.

jorge looks like luigi

this is going to kill me….

um.... great managing there

o my, lets do it boys, lets give palmer something to protect!

in the future

jepsen doesnt start an inning lookin at 4 lefties

I need a goddamn defibrillator
Look on the bright side, no Fuentes.
until we take the lead right now
He'll probably pitch the 9th even if it's tied. No point in a closer in xtras if you're the home

team.

Just popping in from Purple Row to say hi

…. and I’m rooting for you guys! (Not just for this game, but to go all the way!) Halos have definitely made this worth following!

Nothing like watching Angel playoffs

Lose years off your life

That was not fun enough.

We need to see Jepsen back out in the 9th.

dying... don't know how much more i can take...

tell my wife i love her

the stream I was watching went down…… ahhhhh

need 1...? email
I just sat through the most excrutiating

extragalactic reading group, watching slyly on my phone. Why can’t the Angels hold a damn lead for longer than a fucking inning?

The Bull Pen probably has something to say about that.
this is the best italian sausage I've ever had...

and I’ve had a few.

— Mike Napoli

hahah

i heard that also…talk about bizarre.

gets me every time

first time, I was driving and almost went off the road.

if we can somehow make it to the worldseries, i guarantee we would win

top of 9 will be tough

lol no kidding, damno, tex, and aroid!

We got our vaunted 2-3-4 hitters coming up.
i'm holding my 5 mo old son-

prepping him (vaccinating him) for a lifetime of this

lol

i blame my parents for never doing this to me

Start injecting him with juice now, and put a Yankees hat on his head. It's an easier life.
+1

You can also flip over to the Dodger game. A sort of “this is your brain, this is your brain on drugs thing”

goodness jepsen why throw that ball down the middle now we have to sweat it out again
LET'S GO ANGELS!
let's smoke Coke! ha ha
You smoke crack...

you SNORT coke

pitcher=Coke.....he needs to be smoked
Lady, I don't know what you're doing with your pitchers of coke..

o god sit fuentes down

NOOOOOOOOO they just showed FUENTES!!!!!!
OMFG

wtf just happened

GAPPERRRRRRRRRRRRR
Holy Shit Abreu

major blunder.
vr, Xei

WHAT THE HELLLOLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL
WTF!!!!!!!!!!!
.....

that was…

oh my god

wow... way to chokeee
Double Abreu!

And gets thrown out rounding second. WHY??????

I can't believe it, Bobby Abreu blows it

ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME?!?!?!?

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
BOB you son of a bitch
no FUCKING WAY!!!!
WHY DID YOU STOP? STAY OR GO!~
YOU GOTTA BE SHITTING ME
noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

my son is crying

WHAT THE FUCK ABREU!
NOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!

HORRIBLE BASERUNNING!!!!!!!!!

I'm sick of blowing basic baseball plays
abreu u are slow as fuck just take 2nd
yeah

it pretty much blows when you’re 36 and don’t know your own speed. I’m not watching but bet he didn’t even look up at Dino…

Are you fucking kidding me?
I think thats it

that was the last mistake the Yankees needed to close this series out I think.

we are certainly doing all we can to give this series to them

Abreu was going for a triple, put the brakes on and was nailed going back to 2nd base.
vr, Xei

How was that a heads up play by Jeter?
it was cut off

but I’m not sure it mattered…

either way, BFD.

God fucking damnit
goddammit

that was awful

ANother stupid error!!
That was dumb as shit
That's Angels baseball
DOES THIS TEAM WANT TO WIN
I'm wondering the same thought.

The Little Leaguers have played better fundamentals.

if we lose this thing, fingers will be pointed
How do you stop?

Either go or stay. Don’t get caught in the middle. My gosh.

my thoughts exactly

it looked like it would have been pretty close at 3rd, he certainly wasn’t going to be thrown out by 15 feet or something

you gotta be kidding me ,,,,,,,what the hell are u doing

ur in scoring position already damn it

dude, if we just played fundmental baseball this series we would be winning 3-0

We don't deserve to win with how stupid we are playing.
Too many mental errors.
I'd much rather keep Vlad next year

Than Abreu.

ugh Abreu not good...
you stay at 2nd on that..........

ugh………

He was hosed if he goes to 3rd
He was hosed at 2nd
Seriosuly, how fucking retarded was that
I cannot believe the stupidity of which this team has.
58.9% win expectancy for Angels right now

Win Expectancy Calculator
vr, Xei

home field advantage

nothing else.

HFA plus about 4.5% more
seriously? what the fuck
with no outs

there’s really no need to be greedy there

What do you accomplish at 3rd that you don't at 2nd to lead off an inning?

Seriously you fucking moron, it was a LEAD-OFF hit. Stay put retard.

One more shot at Sac Fly.
vr, Xei

what is this? Little League?
what the fuck, bobby.

what the fucking fuck.

the first out.

trying for a triple.

What.

Fucking moron

Goodbye game, asshole.

at his point we dont even deserve to win, we are the worst fundamental team in baseball right now

I second the motion.
no

just in this series

hey they listen!
Hit a HR Torii. Make us forget that.
PICK HIM UP GUYS!!! PICK THAT SHIT UP!!!!!
I think

I just died a little inside. Nobody out…why would you do that?

come the fuck on man up
Geez he would have been on second with no outs and your 3,4,5, hitters coming up.

Talk about being stupid…

That was bullshit

You’re not that fucking fast Bobby. Take 2nd with 0 outs no need to run into outs for the empire

If he just RUNS instead of watching it, he's in, no sweat. Stay or go, but DON'T STOP.

we really coulda used that

Stupid braindead shit like this pisses me off

And its been happening all fucking year on the basepaths.

I think I just threw up a little

usually that’s my line. but I can’t question you after a play like that!

welcome to the vomitorium
never make the first or third out at 3rd

learned it in little league

insanely stupid

huge blow to momentum

opppps..

I bet he did not expect Tex to follow on that play..so he thought he had no body behind him….

nah that's standard

it was just a bonehead play

optimists, i need your help.

i’m about to blow a fuse in the middle of class.

do it

they will talk about you at graduation

I think he would have made it too.
Well, now we're going to see what this team is made of.
Breu

see you in hell (sarcasm)

"what a great play by Jeter"

my ass, it was shit baseball by Abreu

Was Ebel stopping him or what?
And the Jeter ass kissing continues
hey look!

an excuse to talk about jeter!

3 pitch strike out by torri

Look worse at the plate.
nice at bat tori

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Wow,

way to go, cap’!

Game is NOT over!!!!!
Now is the time for MEN to step up and deliver

pathetic at bat, Torii

wow what a crappy bad swing by torii
Torii trying too hard.
That wa almost as dumb as thowing a hittable pitch to A-Roid with an 0-2 count.
wow... yet ANOTHER yanqui montage...
He walked away from a $16 million offer to show us THAT?
I was just thinking that oughta drive the price down a bit
Fuck

FuckFuckFuckFuckFuckFuckFuckFuckFuckFuckFuckFuckFuckFuckFuckFuckFuckFuckFuckFuckFuckFuckFuckFuckFuck

okay vladee, gotta hit the ball out again!

i called the last one here is another HR
he's certainly swinging for one
We are literally going out of our way to try and give them games.
seriously

we could easily be up 2-0

This.

The Angels are playing perhaps the worst fundamental baseball I’ve ever seen

vlad.

get this noose from off my neck.

Halloween Halos

fucking horror after horror after horror

We better go 1-2-3 now

At least that way we can rest a little bit better knowing nothing would’ve come of Abreu’s double.

I'd rather Vlad just put us ahead here, all the same.

Sosh would’ve bunted, so hard to say what would’ve happened.
vr, Xei

Of course, it doesn't matter that we threw out the go ahead run on the bases

last inning. Oh no. We’ve made all the mistakes.

Torii better give himself the we need to have balls speech
that was your pitch vlad
that was great D by Tex covering

Jeter did as expected and nothing more. Even as a Yankee fan I hate that.

that wasn't great D

I hardly ever see the 1B not cover 2B in that situation

LETS GO VLADDY LETS GO CLAPCLAP

That was a good pitch to hit
come on, the game isn't over yet

hey, i’m trying to keep up my optimism

Gotta move on. Not over.
9th inning, 4-4 tie
arod sucks @ throwing
Have I mentioned I hate Teix.
At least hes benn absolutely invisible during this series.
We got draft picks for losing him.

I hope they’ll be great!

Oh well

we prob.wouldn’t have scored…

That would've been Bobby sitting at 3rd.

with 2 outs…

I think we still win this as long as Fuentes isn't coming in.
It is a tie game there is still hope
It;s not over

by by god are we making it easier for them

yay. swinging at another ground ball.

great here comes Fuentes…..

52.2% Win Expectancy
With Fuentes coming in?

Watch that number change fast.

Why is Fuentes going in to face Arod and Tex???
you're joking, right?
coming to face Damon and turn Teix around
it's so awesome

having such a weak-ass pen.

Damon and Teix. I have a sneaky suspiscion Bulger will face A-Rod.
I hope you're right
Jeezus Fuckin pinned up on the cross christ!@!!!!!!!!!!!!

  NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Im really sick I cant watch this ninth inning
damn....I'm going home.

watch out for a mom-mobile having road rage issues on the 10 West

At least this way

the true heart of our lineup will bat in the 9th?

Rivera Morales Mathis?

Sosh removed our hottest hitter. May have been the right move, but still.

*kendrick

mathis came in for izturis, who pinch hit for napoli

hence the

question mark at the end of my sentence?

no, hk is still in

mathis is batting in napoli’s position..

Hold onto your nuts

…I think that was the Fuentesaur leaving the pen

Confirmed sighting
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!
I swear to God I already watched this game on Saturday.
Still got 4 innings to go

for that type of game

it's eerie

isn’t it?

only the weather and starting pitchers seem different.

raptor jesus!!!!!!
Does sosh exist to piss me the fuck off?
angels aren't around to win.

they’re just around to fuck with our feelings.

what means “Win”?

I'm starting to really believe that

yet I’m the biggest Soth backer I know.

bulger has no weakness

agianst lefties or righties

I WANT HIM IN

5-4 Angles, is 3rd most likely score
First and second?

lower scoring one run Angel wins. Can’t get those scores any more.
vr, Xei

3-2, 4-3 Angels
Let's throw 3 fastballs to A-Rod.
I don't think he'll need 3

Story of this series… Tex making up for the rest of the Yankees infielders’ consistently terrible throws.

the ones he doesn't get, the umpires give him
He actually is a huge improvement over Giambi. I remember we constantly had

baserunners thanks to poor fielding.

scioscia is mismanaging this one

from allowing jepsen to come in to face 4 lefties, and now using fuentes

pray for the best

we're supposedly a lucky team

would be nice to have some starting now.

Only giving up 4 runs on 4 home runs is pretty lucky.
Sosh is a Contrarian
He had no choice though

Oliver had to come in and save the game lets root for him

well Scoscia can obviously can not bear the pressure anymore is going to bring out his secret weapon in losing games
Who the fuck is that\? Howard is the secret weapon.

  Oh you mean the Q?

FUENTES??

omg…… game over….

and I’m one of the most positive Angel fans I know.

Its nervous time
that is not winning baseball

what a bunch of losers

Scioscia:

“Fuck baseball in November, I have to get ready for Thanksgiving!”

KK..get him out now
If the Yankees don't score this inning, I will finally be convinced in a higher power.
And his name will be Brian...
stop showing that shit!
Fuentes got Damon

4-3 DP,

* Ground Out, not DP.

My bad.

Baseball luck

is 80% skill

yeah, but the skill is 90% luck
i understand 70 percent of this.
Oh.

Mark up to bat.

Oh.. poetic justice..

Jeter really is so amazing

I mean, really. Who else would know a shortstop should be playing cutoff man on a double into the center field gap? So awesome that he knew exactly where to be.

he invented the cutoff you know
JOE FUCK IS THE BIGGEST ASS SUCKING ASS HAIR LICKER EVER!!!! IF HE COULD JUST SUCK ONE OF JETERS ASS HAIRS!!!!
nice loving Jeter closeup
all that was missing was the soft focus..
hey!

let’s talk about jeter some more!

Right Buck

Tex wasnt shouting at Jeter at all

I have a baaad feeling about this!
2 Outs, Strike Three
OUT!

hey Mark, you suck.

I can not believe they're still stroking Jeter

He caught the ball, turned around, saw the guy inbetween bases trying to get back and threw him out. What’s so awesome about that?

uhhh it's DEREK JETER

THATS what’s so awesome! duh!

Oh, thank you for clearing that up, I was confused
no problem

i think people often forget how awesome he is. fox should really talk about it more often

Tex, done.

Fuentes K?

ARod career off Fuentes

1-2 with HR (GS)

not counting the last AB
Sosh visiting mound, AROD up

o my, fuentes worst enemy…

Sit the motherfucking down you motherfucking motherfucker!!!
and here it is! redemption?
according to gameday, tex was awful in that ab.
Redemption time, Fuentesaur.
SIT THE FUCK DOWN TEX
20$ million = 2$ million per strikeout
that was a bad pitch in game 2 bad pitch selection by mathis not fuentes fault
ya know

when I read Torii’s “noooooooooooo” quote, I believed that a little. and you’re right, to a degree but the location was horrible. so I still say 60/40 Fuentes.

still talking about jeter

nobody – AND I MEAN NOBODY – gets that strokage.

especially over a play that is one hundred percent dumb runner

but before he threw it he looked at third!!!! and didn't even throw it there!!!!

get this…he threw it to 2nd!!!! for the out!

i would throw it at him

just to shut him up

yeah

same effect. and if Fuentes gets warned, so what?

the Yanks aren’t going to retaliate anyway…

Just put him on base. Just do it, we've got Gardner on deck. Walk him!
If Fuentes gets ARod 0-2

And throws a “fastball”…

A-rod would never expect it!

CLOSE IT DOWN NOW

For those of you NOT keeping score at home:

U-Haul is batting .077 for the series.

Don't pitch to him,

plunk that asshole

Sosh tells Fuentes

Sosh: Walk em. Put the winning run on please.
Fuentes: Sure coach.

vr, Xei

lol. NOW we do that.
IBB. I approve.
i approve the ibb

instead of trying to pitch around him

Crowd not too keen on it
can't understand it

if I was there I’d be ecstatic with the IBB. as I am here.

I approve..

probably a good move

IBB

day late dollar short

But a good call.
You wanted to walk the leadoff hitter in a 1 run extra inning game?

Glad you’re not managing

I have confidence he can get one more out

in two tries, yes. otherwise he wouldn’t be our closer at all…

I understood Rev advocating a walk in game 2.

In this situation, the IBB works for me.

Smartest 4 pitches of Fuentes' life, right here.
tori hunter

should shut his mouth

or get a fucking hit
or not get picked off

or make errors
or gidp
or try and get an rbi

Nah

I’m glad he said it.

how dare he question a "solid" closer
Any other month + quotes you wanna bring up?

I blame Scioscia as much as Fuentes for not walking A-Rod in that situation.

suck it pussy

your boy sucks

My "boy" on this team

is actually Darren Oliver.

As far as bullpen dudes go, anyway.

then

I MUST COMMEND YOUR TASTE IN RELIEVERS

Not joking either

seriously, do a search some time for what I’ve said about the guy…dating all the way back to his first appearance with the Angels in 2007, where he struggled.

ive always been baffled

by how awesome he has done for this team.
always waiting for his age and prior career numbers to come into play … never happened

Rosenthal probably made that up.
can't be mad about that
smartest move ever
And don't let him steal second.
NEVER SEEN THE WINNING RUN PUT ON WITH 2 OUTS

thats respect

Or a lack thereof in your "closer".

lol youve never seen barry bonds play then i guess

Wonder what mgl says about this IBB
Hey look

there’s the IBB we were missing two nights ago.

48 hours late sosh
Go Ahead run on the basepaths.

With the winning run in the batter’s box.

Joy.

winning run from Game 2*
Technically he tied game 2.
Technically, Hairston scored the winning run.

And just struck out. :D :D :D

okay, easy fly ball right here..

I wonder what it's like to have the national media constantly talking you up...

no matter what happens.

As Don Drysdale would say

“Why waste your time throwing four pitches when you can get the job done in one?”

this series has not been good to my health.
Why not just HBP AROD?
I'm wwith you on this one...

…with the added benefit he’d get tossed before he could do any damage

if this guy beats us

im going to punch all my coworkers in the face.

Might make Fox News
co-workers saved
you should really offer to do this more often
Oh God, McCarver, shut the hell up
Is there a volume lower than mute?
i was wondering

thanks

that was a gigantic swing
get this googly-eyed mofo out.
teeny lead..

don’t even worry about him, he’s just trying to distract you

fuentes is throwing as hard as weaver did
or soft, whichever
Raptor Jesus!!!!!!!!
YOURE THE BEST CLOSER OF ALL TIME, BRIAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
May lightning strike you down.

Maybe you meant Bryan Harvey.

HELL YES

FUENTESAURUS ROAR

I'll give Fuentes credit there
Game Over!

Ooops, i mean strike three.
vr, Xei

what could've fucking been, man.
i'm sorry, rev.

f-bomb rules. today’s a pass, right?

Wow.

Fuentes with another K.

okay, when this hell hole of a game in the bottom of the 9th please
awesome

fuentes succeeding guarantees something good to happen

Lol

Why didn’t we see this Fuentes two days ago?

Same Fuentes

Just didn’t walk Arod last time.
vr, Xei

except for one pitch, we did
YES!!!!!! that WAS a good move!
ATTAGIRL FUENTES
some respect man...
65.6% Win Expectancy
Can that thing figure in shit baserunning as well?
No, it's all 100% empirical

But it’s pretty accurate, I compared it with my simulator that knows the real hitters and pitchers.
vr, Xei

Yeah

if the Angels have a runner on first and no one out, just go ahead and calculate it as bases “empty” with one out.

RAWWWWWR

Perfect inning Brian

Nice work, Brian.
the t rex died for our sins
Raptor Jesus MFers

okay!! just end this in 9 guys! i cant handle seeing fuentes again

Fuentes is done..

we’ll see our depth next.

no we wont cuz we’re winning right here!

Angels 60% favorites
Redemption!!!!!!!!!!!
The Power of Fuentes compels you.
Can we please score a run? The longer this game goes, the more of a chance I die of a heart attack.
Isn't anybody going to say "Fuck all you haters who doubted Fuentes"?
Even I would have to say doubt was entirely justified.
no.

game 2 is still fresh in my memory.

Lets Go Halos

Clap Clap, Clap Clap Clap

Rivera, KMO, Mathis

Someone man up and END this.

mathis is AFTER kendrick
Who's pitching for the Yankees? Hughes?
when napoli hit those two bombs over the monster last post season

i thought we were witnessing the emergence of a bad ass.

boy has he been far from it

I think he's been hurt.
he always looks so confused
something's different

he’s slumped before, but I recognize his slumps, and he always works his way out (usually sooner than later). this is nothing even close, it’s like 5x the magnitude and endless.

20HR from a part time catcher, not shabby
i thought he would be an offensive force in the post season
he may well be
does Soch put Ervin in here?
Matt Palmer would be better.
no need, we're winning it here
nope

we’re winning right here..

oh don't you hope someone just gets pied in the face

lets go juanito! do something for once

Pinch hit for Fuentes if he comes up?

oh wait, AL.
vr, Xei

I can literally feel my heart pumping for its life...

I may die with any more of this stress.

it's when it is not pumping that you have a problem
Juan homer time.

Me wanty.

check your email.

FUCK THIS

LETS END IT NOW

Leave the skanks on the field
got to give Fuentes credit

he looks locked in that pitch in game 2 i think was mathis fault Fuentes put it right where Mathis put his glove

rivera

should he just quit baseball?

K-Mo lefthanded is solid here
mathis walk off
Lollllllllllll bahhhh haaaa
i've seen crazier things

….wait no i dont think i have actually

Rivera sucks my butt.
Man

how’d Jeter know where to be on that ground ball? That was PHENOMENAL!

One for the hi-lite reel.
What anticipation by Jeter to be scratching his nuts just at the right time to get that ball...
Great baseball instincts
Really

you just can’t teach that stuff.

No Rivera..

Please, please no Rivera..

Wonder if they pitch to KMO with Mathis up next?

I kinda doubt it.

MATHIS ISN'T UP NEXT

HK is still in the game..

GI Joe leaving Hughes in the game
common lets go kendry

KMO WALK OFF HOMEER!

Come on Kendry

do your thing

Do it for Cuba
K-mo needs a big hit right now

He’s been quiet for most of the postseason

Juan is a giant fucking turd.

turn the page.

Rivera and Morales.

All fucking year, guys. All fucking year you two have been strong. And it ain’t like you have never seen these guys before. Can’t we get ONE of you to join the party? PLEASE?

at the beginning of the year juan was good but he has sucked since september except the one hit in boston
juan has been trash 2nd half

matthews was much better second half compared to sniffer

I want

Kowbell walkoff

Stick with Fuentes next inning if it comes to that...

All lefties/switch-hitters. Plus he looks really good right now.

Bet you didn't think you'd be saying that10 mins ago
haha

That’s probably true.

Come on Kendry...
SCREW THESE BASTARDS
i still cannot believe abreu did that
yeah

it was no Izzy, but damn…

60.8% Win Exp, with 1 out
Please K-mo

Please please

dammit

thought that was a double

me too
Me three
me 4

but give Tex some credit, that was a damned good play

it was not that good he was standing right there
stupid teix
"Tried to defect 12 times and was successful the 12th time"

blinding flash of the obvious.

Oh, and i hate U-haul

Sinking line drive...

and a sinking feeling in my stomach

Nails it and once again right to somebody.
Tex

Grinning like a fool

I wish Teix would catch swine flu.

common now, no need for that shit

oh god

more innings

wow..that was anticlimatic

the yankees are much like that annoying roach that just wont die
they're doing exactly to us what we thought we would do to them
"They are who we thought they were!!!"
and we left them off the hook!
And off to the tenth...

and they still haven’t used Rivera.

Saving him for the save, rather like we unsuccessfully saved Fuentes.
closers are useless to the home team now

we either walk-off or lose..

this.

We have a chance to come back, even if we give up the lead.

I meant in Game 2, when we saved Fuentes for the 12th, only to see him blow it.
We need a 1-2-3 inning right now.
thanks a lot bobby abreu
Advantage Yankees

With Mariano still available for 1-2 innings.
vr, Xei

They lied to me, though Jeff was 7th.
hahaha i think multiple comments have actually tried to correct you
HK,

i’m sorry to ask so much of you but, please, please, please, dig into that reservoir of yours and deliver us a win.

man.

i feel like death.

goddammit

not more extra innings.. why can’t we just win this shit?

Bonus baseball and another few years lost of our lives.....weeeeeeeeeeeee
I don't want to be a downer, but....well, nevermind
...well, that was a particularly useless post.
a;sldkfja;lfkj;lkdsjasd;lkjads;lkjdsf;lkasjdf;ldaskj!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Betty Ford Here I Come
i wish like hell i was impartial right now.
Battle of the Bulge
I spot a Bulge

r

yikes.

uh oh.

not a good sign

velocity down, no command and he’s rubbing his shoulder

As a lifelong Rams fan...

“Bulger” makes me nervous

lets go bulger
That first pitch didn't really breed confidence.
Oh look, it's the guy who tied the game.

Revenge plx

Why not bring Palmer in this situation?
Wow, its Kate Hudson.

I wonder who she’s dating now?

Madonna

or someone wearing Madonna’s underwear

That eliminates 1% of the population.
Who's glad we didn't trade Wood for a reliever now???
Or was it that Wood had no value?
How the hell did we blow that lead???

Ahhhh damnitall they had it won!!!

Get Matt Palmer up, damn it.
holy shit

I’d take him out right now

3 pitches not even close.
what the fuck is this idiot doing?
yeah bulger doesn't really look like he has...anything today
he does not know why he is in the game
WHY DO WE MAKE IT SO HARD
Dammit, throw strikes.
dont walk him!

the one thing 2002 team did better than us was hit the long ball….and protect leads……and play fundamental baseball…

and just win, in general.
then go ahead and go home
can't.

this team somehow breeds hope. it’s inexplicable.

Bullpen. We had a nigh invincible pen once Franky replaced Weber.
Actually

we hit significantly more home runs this year (173) than in 2002 (152).

But otherwise, yes.

strike him out!
count's full...

make him swing at something.

WOW

nicely done

wow didn't see that coming afte the first 3
wow....breaking ball 3-2...big ballz
made me nervous there for a second
that was a very confusing series of pitches.
Wow

Way to battle Bulger

KKKKKK!!!!

battle of the bulge!

struck him out the hard way

Like drawing an inside straight.
vr, Xei

im still nervous
Posada was so impressed by that curve he had to touch himself
Great comeback to get the K.
Pat Sajak Head Power!!!!!!
this is what the 8th inning should have looked like

:(

Nice comeback, Bulger
That was so Nolan Ryan.

From 3-0 to the K.

they're looking to be the hero...

gotta set’em down with tasty inside stuff that they can’t handle!!

alright

just because you battled back from 3-0 last at bat doesnt mean you should try to do it again

His curve is good

Fastball, not so much. Yet.

baseball is a game of failure

and our team has failed quite a bit at everything these past 3 games

We're just getting it out of our system.
if we can win this game

then i think we can tie it tomorrow

So what ur saying is they have been successful ?
successful at failing

indeed

Our starting pitching has actually been pretty good. We're facing the best offense in

baseball and our pitchers have kept us in every game.

Yeah, for a $200 million wal-mart of a team

they’re really not that impressive at the plate yet.

Strikes, kid, throw strikes.
1 more out plz
this is what it looks like

when a guy who can get lefties out pitches

Georgia shout out.

Hey, I live there. And it sucks!

Well this series has been a battle so far.

This series is taking years off my life.
Please be careful with Swisher
wow,,,,,,,good cut there

dont throw that no more please

Buzz the tower right here Bulger
BULGERRRRRRR!
Great job BULGE!
walk off over / under 0.5
Thoughts?

On pinch-hitting Willits for Mathis?

Mathis can actually hit the ball into the outfield

Willits can’t

There's a catcher tagging out a strikeout-in-the-dirt victim

4 ALCSs too late.

almost had a josh paul moment there
some times i wonder if we would have won that game the next inning
Yes

yes we would have.

And then the series.

In 2005...

The ball wasn’t in the dirt.

I know

nor can you fault Paul for not tagging a guy he had no reason to think he should have to tag.

Anyway to turn the simulator into a stimulator
The TIme is NOW !!!
When will then be now?
We might pinch hit GMJ for Mathis

Then move Bobby Wilson in

I don't think they want a rookie catcher in there right now
JEFF MATHIS?!!?!??
MATHIS!

What are the odds!

I would like to shoot the person

who invented the bunt. My least favorite part of the game.

Except for that one
