ALCS Game 3

I got a lot done the past four days and I realize that if the Angels had been in the postseason I would not have gotten any of it done and I would be a miserable wreck and stressed even of we were up 2 games to none over any team.

And yet, I still wish we were there. Cliff L @ Andy P • First Pitch 5:07 PM...

andrus out

he made the mistake of looking into the fierce eyes of a great competitor like Pettite.

another mistake to avoid with Pettite, never tell him a secret or do anything wrong in front of him. Even if he partakes in the bad act, he will rat you out.

tbs > fox

for one simple reason
constant pitch tracker.

Joe Buck, Tim McCarver
are the other reasons TBS>Fox

not that these guys are that great, but it is still a huge upgrade

I wonder how many calls

will go in Andy “the ancient one” Pettite’s favor?

not too many

wait until you see the zone cliff lee gets

Yanks throw the game

just to make Cliff Lee look like the yankee killah of 2009?

whats the deal with texas jumpin out with early leads.
Cliff Lee

threatens to leave the team unless they score early. Even in games where he’s not pitching

Wow, someone actually complained about the amount of rosin on Lee's hat? That seems really silly
Lee is simply incredible and owns the postseason (so far)

He will soon own the city of NY like Lebron could never do if he had gone there…

Soon™

I fear the Rangers will own the AL West as well for some time to come…

Why would they own the west?

They did no better this year than last year. We just did much worse. A few free agents and kendry will easily make up for the wins we needed to take the west

Well, it's not as much as I have great confidence in the Rangers

(but I do :P) as I have little confidence in our current team and even less that the offseason is going to make any difference – if any.

I have faith that we will get something done

And if the rangers lose lee, which honestly they might, things might be very interesting

That spoiled EJ's manlove for Brett Gardner's hustle
He still have his Cliff Lee manlove to fall back on
So in the history of baseball playoffs (since forever)...

Only 7 times has a pitcher had at least 10 strikeouts and 0 walks.

Lee incredibly owns 4 of those. And is on pace to easily notch another. In-fucking-credible playoff pitcher. If there was ever money in the bank, right now it’s him.

Is it too early to talk about a perfect game? Ha! Of course, except with Lee, it’s at about 50/50 on the money line.

Looks like it was too early

But Lee is already up to 65 pitches. He won’t be going 9 unless he quits with the striking-guys-out routine.

Boooooo!

Gone is the perfect game and adding to his postseason resume.

Yanks on the verge of being down 3-1 in the series
huh?
With Carol Burnett as the Yanks Game 4 starter

That’s as good as a loss.

oh I see

And I agree.

So technically...

…if they held on to game 1 (still scratching my head on that one), hold on to this one, and do what you say…

They could have swept the Yankees?

((does math))

0% of people in the world predicted that. I’m scared ;) Of course they lost game 1, have not won this one, and have not started game 4…

Does that mean Jorge Lawrence is the catcher?
No, I got that wrong

Vicki Posada

With a uniform made out of a curtain.
This game is going to be all on Pettitte

and usually it is Lee that has the rough first inning.

it sure is better weather than when we played last year.

Not raining…not having to wear long sleeves and earmuffs… NOT FAIR!!!!

5 fastballs in a row. All at 88.
TBS needs new camera guys
dang so close
VLAD!

Stick it to them! C’mon man. Don’t be an imposter.

((didn't mean to reply to yours))
just like game 3 of last year's ALCS.
(( Can hear Angel fans nodding and saying "See, that is why it was ok to let him go" :/ ))
that's what I was saying...
Well, he's definitely pulling an A-Rod sans 2009...

…but not sure they would be in the playoffs and a chance to go to the WS without him.

Post-season Vlad o-fer
My head is nodding.
Skankee fans are so hard up for a baserunner

They cheered that hit like a homer

Can't lie - Rooting for Texas and Lee...

The Yankees can win it all next year anyway with Lee – one less title is fine with me.

I'm rooting for the National League
Yeah but this isn't the NL yet - and in case your rooting fails...

…I rather Texas win one than the Yankees

Gardner did'nt have to slide into 1st base that time.
Nice throw Bengie
Wouldn't it be hilarious

If Jeter signed with somebody other than the Yankees in the off season? It won’t happen but it would be funny as hell

The Pirates and it'll lead to a dynasty.
He should sign with the Pirates
okay, I'll play.

The Cleveland Indians

How about the Montreal Expos.
Yes Swish that was a strike
CLIFFORD ! CLIFFORD !
CLIFFORD ! CLIFFORD ! CLIFFORD !

S.T.F.D. Uhaul!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Cliff Lee is the AWESOME

today

Lee only at 94 pitches. That means:

8 innings for Lee
1 inning for Feliz
and 20 shots of Vodka for John Sterling and Suzyn Waldman.

If Ron does the right thing
rehab and a condom you
You already drank your 20 shots.

No more for you.

As much as I hate the Yankees

If the Rangers win this series, just think of the future LSB trolling. It was bad enough when their franchise was 1-9 in playoff games.

Checking in late.

Don’t really care who wins. Except I hate NY and am not that fond of Texas. Quite the conundrum.

texas=lesser of two evils
did you arrange for late check-in Sir?
dang molina - could you run any slower
I'd like to see Benji and Juan Rivera in a race.

I’d be darn close.

Does this girl get to sing the National Anthem at every game?
I meant God Bless America
It is NYC after all...

They found someone who can belt it out…the song that is!

only when the soul patch is in town
I don't know but she's not that good. But I guess since she's related you gotta let her sing.

yikes

She is Stienbrenner's gran-daughter, so yeah.
I honestly just muted the TV

She is that bad

How dare you SOB's ridicule George's grand-daughter!

George Steinbrenner single-handedly saved the Yankees and baseball, and was a saint amongst men! Sorry, I was channeling a skankee fan there, yeah, the girl can’t sing. Please bring out someone better next time, like Roseanne Barr or an American Idol cast off. They certainly couldn’t be worse.

you scared me there for 1/2 second
It's the beer bro.

And I was reminded how NY fans chastised us after George’s passing. You’d think that he cured cancer from the way skankee fans were carrying on about what he meant to the game, and how he saved baseball. Screw NY.

those fucks tried to use the "we cried for you when NA passed" arguement.
AND...

George was older than dirt – and died of old age.
Nick was murdered by a drunk and was 20something…

HUGE difference.

George died on the day of the All-Star game so HE could get the attention.

Old people Die ! What the hell's the big deal ?
But. But. But..

He Was The Godfather Of Baseball. He’s better than Jesus and The Beatles—combined.

Skanks...

Choking in front of them home crowd

"the"
Well in spirit of the texas fans, Them crowd is quite appropriate!
S.T.F.D. tiny Tims
Wompin' and a Wompin', Ridin' and a Ridin'
Anyone think Lee will go all nine today?

Even though, there’s no need because the ’pen the Rangers have.

Pitch count is at 115

Maybe they let him go 130 to get the CG.

What the shit?

So Religion is as real as the WWE
Amen.

Scientology commericals seem to have been taking off.

Why does Cliff have anthrax on his cap?

I work for TSA and know anthrax when I see it.

Heard Girardi

was not gonna bring that up to the umps…

this thread is just Dono jerkin off to the rangers?
Got his boss-ass neww avatar to pimp
If the Skanks were winning he would be having a boner over them instead
Why does Jorge complain after every at bat.
that was ridiculous
CLIFFORD ! CLIFFORD !!
Derek Braunecker is beyond happy.
CLIFFORD CLIFFORD CLIFFORD !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
forget crawford and everyone else.

I want LEE

I want an offense that could actually score enough runs for our pitchers
One run might be enough. We're used to that, right?
Well

Pitchers like lee aren’t ever available. Lowest postseason ERA ever or something.

Okay, the Angels REALLY need to trade for Lee. They could offer:

Kazmir, Fraudney, Mathis, Rivera, Callaspo, and Wood. Fair enough?

free agent
THIS
new TV contract

why not spend a few

Oh, and...

cha ching cha ching cha ching…$$$$$$$$$$$$$$Cliff$$$$Lee$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

this made me laugh.
My proffer or my baseball stupidity?
k3yerout Gardner!
Bourjos would'nt have let that ball get past him like Gardner did.
true - Bourjos would have caught the ball.
And he would have thrown him out at 2nd base.
VLADDY VLADDY VLADDY
He's the one in the middle.
PLEASE

take the camera OFF Washington – we do NOT need to see him chew

wash and his crazy coke ticks.
Hit the ump win a prize
late roll call

I now realize that my love for the Angels may possibly be eclipsed by my hatred for the Yankees.

VLADDY VLADDY VLADDY !!!!!!

JESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

this ranger team is really good.

and very hot.

Ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooh

Sexy

Sizzle Sizzle Fo Shizzle
Jack Zduriencik deserves much of the credit.
So if the Rangers go to the WS...

Would he become the ALCS MVP?

Jetter is, and deserves it

he had that spectacular jump throw today

And AL Executive of the Year
JESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS
This pitcher will be a Yankee legend someday

He already know the delay and stall tactics

Why is Cruz out at second???

Buck knows his baseball

Hit a grand slam
Saaaaaaaaaaaaaweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet!
I SO LOVE THIS!!
Benji first to third?
Openin' up a can O Wooop Assss
Ha Ha!

Yankees blow

Yankees Bullpen!
Lots of empty seats behind the plate
Beer run?
Restroom run for tissues
cliff lee's contract is going to be ridiculous.
I wonder if Nolan Ryan's wife is getting tired of baseball yet.
shut down Clifford
girardi

getting out managed by a crackhead

Nick with the attempted jump throw fail

Only the Jeett

look at them LEAVE
It is fall in New York.
I love me some Yankee smack down!
Dodger Stadium???

where’d everybody go

Blow out! Rout! Ass whipping! Ripped 'em a new one!

Just some thoughts.

i think you gotta start chubby chocolate every game

is tiexiera playing this series?

What a fantastic inning
OOOooooooooooooooh Jessssssssssssssssssssssssssssss!!!!!
Woah, someone threw a beer bottle into the Texas bullpen
Time for Neftali to be Frankie Rodriguez.
Close it out Happy
This is not the time for the plate ump to feel sorry for the Skankees
Don't nibble Nefi

you’ll give the umps a reason to stay and let the Skanks come back

Lee anyone?
Weaver/Lee/Haren postseason rotation…..

And a bad offense behind them
Is it possible Lee's value just went up another 5-10%?

While he stays literally invincible (what is it, 7 starts now? 8?) in the playoffs, he might get a bigger contract than anyone could have imagined…

Might make Sabathia’s contract look like minimum wage.

And it's gross to think the Rangers could/should be up 3-0 right now...
DANG what a pitcher
