WHAT A FUCKING FINISH! Oh.......replay time

[Lock Jaw]

What a weird ending though

[Damian Rey 2.0]

If their looking interference I think they're shit outt luck. Edwin slid straight into second

[Damian Rey 2.0]

BAG GAWD THEY'VE DONE IT!.

Odor makes a good throw its inning over. He knocks out Bautista, Jays knock him and Texas out.

[Damian Rey 2.0]

God what a fucking finish. Jesus I love baseball.

[Bad News Gertner]

YES!!!!! ALCS baby!

Time to waste a lot of champagne again, and no doubt get champagne/beer all over various cameras/mics.....

[Damian Rey 2.0]

Somebody call Drebin

[Lock Jaw]

Somebody call my momma

[Damian Rey 2.0]

Happy thanksgiving to all my Canadian friends I have on here, btw.

Fuck man this ending pumped me up. Might go outside and throw the whiffle ball around.

[Ol Dirty Dastard]

Donaldson with the hustle play, and Odor poetically eating shit on a double play. Would feel bad for Matt Bush because what a fucking hero, but you're on the wrong team bud.

Unreal. Like Damo said, it's not the best teams who advance, it's the team who is hot with the best fortune. 3 weeks ago, Jays were on the fucking brink.

[Bad News Gertner]

The better team always wins.

[Ol Dirty Dastard]

My cousin had Texas nailed from the onset even before the wildcard game. Said they were a massively lucky team as proven by their runs for and against stat.

[Damian Rey 2.0]

Unlike the Orioles, they're peaking at the right time.

*WARNING: ANALYTICAL BASED COMMENT COMING*

I never thought the Rangers were that good. Much like the Orioles, their run differential wasn't very good and my belief is you can't outrun barely outscoring your opponent. Especially when you hit the playoffs.

Texas got to beat up on the sorry Angels and Athletics. Toronto beat up on the Rays but every other team in their division was in the hunt. And the Rangers, while deserving because the game ain't won on paper, were not, imo, as good as the other division winners or Toronto.

I thought they matched up well with Baltimore, a similarly constructed team. But not Toronto, who yielded a strong rotation and deep as fuck lineup.

[Ol Dirty Dastard]

I've never seen the Jays catch all the luck like that before, everything seemed to work in their favour.

[Damian Rey 2.0]

You handsome bastard.

[Ol Dirty Dastard]

Toronto beat up on the Rays but every other team in their division was in the hunt.

haha! Rays were the only team in the East the Jays didn't have a winning record against. Rays served the Jays a steaming pile of shit, and almost cost them a playoff spot. Jays matched up terribly against them.

[Bad News Gertner]

The Rays always own the Jays. Especially at the Trop. No matter how bad they are. I have nightmare of Joe Kennedy killing the Jays.

And now Kennedy is dead. Serves him right.

Probably would have been exposed a lot earlier if it wasn't for their insane 1-run game record this year. Made it seem like they had a lot stronger rotation and bullpen than in reality.

That type of baseball magic can work in the playoffs but only if the rotation is lights out great and not just because of some really great luck going their way.

[Ol Dirty Dastard]

Texas has a pretty damned good bullpen. And Darvish with Hammels at the top of your rotation gives you some strength at the top of the rotation.

Everything that possibly could have gone wrong for them went wrong and the Jays ambushed them. They were asleep for game 1 and the Jays had been playing essentially what were elmination games for the better part of 3 weeks. Game 2 was like the weirdest fucking thing I've seen with Darvish serving up meatballs and game 3, Lewis wasn't the guy for the job. They got to Sanchez, but it was a close enough game, and the Jays bullpen while not particularly deep, can compete... and they were in enough of a hole where they couldn't afford a mistake, and Rougy Odor screwed the pooch.

[Evil Vito]

I wonder how many Rangers fans still have nightmares of Game 6 of the 2011 World Series. That game convinced me that they will never ever win a World Series.

[Damian Rey 2.0]

1run magic is impossible to control and near as much to repeat. I remember Showalter getting chapped at Brian Kenny for saying his team wouldn't repeat some ridiculous 1 run record they had and Showalter seemed to think it had to do with how the team was built.

Good on Texas for getting there.

[Ol Dirty Dastard]

Definitely saw some cracks in the foundation. I think they also psyched themselves out with all the bullshit with the Jays.

[Damian Rey 2.0]

I dunno. I'm sure it was talked about but i try not to think about that stuff. Toronto was just a better built club and in this case the better team won. Been a fun October so far.

[Ol Dirty Dastard]

Jays looked about a billion times better in this series than they did in the ALDS last year.

[Ol Dirty Dastard]

I'm hoping Cleveland takes a steaming dump on Boston tomorrow. Cleveland is so fun to watch. And I can like Andrew Miller now since he's not on the Yankees.

[Damian Rey 2.0]

Haha not really invested in that series to be honest.

[Ol Dirty Dastard]

game 1 was a hell of a game. game 2 was interesting because of the david price eating chode in the playoffs drama.

[Frank Drebin]

1run magic is impossible to control and near as much to repeat. I remember Showalter getting chapped at Brian Kenny for saying his team wouldn't repeat some ridiculous 1 run record they had and Showalter seemed to think it had to do with how the team was built.

Good on Texas for getting there.

I remember the 2012 O's and their magic. Went 29-9 in 1 run games and 16-2 in extras. 2013 they went 20-31 and 8-7

[Clerk]

Indians winning it all baby. GO INDIAN GO!

[DaveWadding]

The Cubs are going to get destroyed tonight. I'm going to have to medicate myself to make it through.

[Ol Dirty Dastard]

Hey man if Hammels can get pummelled like he did so can MadBum against the Cubs juggernaught.

[Ol Dirty Dastard]

<iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/X97Agg8gu7A" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

A little Blue Jays homerism mixed with some impressive fortune telling from back in August.

The only real dickhead on the Rangers is Sam Dyson. He is honestly a fucking jerk. He's such a little wang in all of his interviews.

[DaveWadding]

Hey man if Hammels can get pummelled like he did so can MadBum against the Cubs juggernaught.

Except the Cubs just wait around and wait for a pitcher to make mistakes. Bumfucker doesn't make mistakes in October.

[RP]

Ehh Hammel isnt even in the rotation for the Cubs this series. Not sure what you're on about.

[DaveWadding]

Ehh Hammel isnt even in the rotation for the Cubs this series. Not sure what you're on about.

He meant Cole Hamels of the Texas Rangers.

[RP]

makes more sense lol

[Droford]

Indians finish off the Red Sox tonight..they will beat the Jays in 5. Book it.

[Ol Dirty Dastard]

Indians should be able to handle the Jays, but stranger things have happened than the Jays beating the Indians.

Regardless, Baltimore didn't even get a sniff, so haha fuck you

[Evil Vito]

I think the rainout yesterday definitely helps Boston in this series. I could easily see them coming back and winning.

[Ol Dirty Dastard]

Nope. No team in the east other than Baltimore is any good. Baltimore still wins the world series.

[Droford]

Maybe something crazy happens and the Orioles fire Buck. Guaranteed World Series next year.

[Evil Vito]

Buck Showalter is the greatest manager in the history of Major League Baseball and has been running an uncrowned dynasty.

[Evil Vito]

I am absolutely stunned that Buck Showalter is only 60 years old.

[Droford]

Buck Showalter is the greatest manager in the history of Major League Baseball and has been running an uncrowned dynasty.

The Orioles have one of The best records in baseball since 2012 but nothing to show for it. I think his managing in the Wild Card game is the beginning of the end. Everyone loves buck partly because he brought winning baseball back to Baltimore however I think people also realize he's not going to get them all the way to a world Series. Much like his last 3 stints he did most of the dirty work and then someone else came in and got the team to the World Series. Its been the running joke with him but I think there's truth to it.

[Ol Dirty Dastard]

Showalter has never won the big one. He's too in love with himself.

[Droford]

The fact that I called the Red Sox getting swept last week makes this pretty awesome

[Evil Vito]

I don't like the Dodgers but god dammit...I don't want Murph to be one step away from going to the World Series again.

[Evil Vito]

One of my fellow Mets fan friends texted me immediately after the Mets loss last week "I guarantee the Nats win the World Series now, that's just how these things go."

Hope he's wrong.

[Droford]

Nats are huge chokers just remember that

[Ol Dirty Dastard]

The fact that I called the Red Sox getting swept last week makes this pretty awesome

lol it's funny that you don't think this thrills me just as much as it thrills you. You're just a shithead about it.

As a Jays fan, believe me, we would love this sweep to happen, because we replaced Mr. 230 mil with the bargain that was J. Happ, who already in a start where he had to battle, was more effective than David Price ever was in the post season, and had a far better regular season.

Price didn't do himself any favours with the "saving my playoff wins for Boston" comment. Obviously it was benign and he is a very nice man who'd never slight anyone... but to look where he's at now, it's made him into a bit of a joke.

Spilchuk is currently in a closet, surrounded by his own feces.

Jays have already over achieved after their woeful September where they went limpdicked. Everything for the fans at this point is a bonus.... plus, at least our team isn't Baltimore.

[Ol Dirty Dastard]

Nats are huge chokers just remember that

sort of like a certain team in Baltimore.

[Droford]

Indians in 5

[ClockShot]

Francona going for the kill.

Kenny Loggins has entered the game.

[Ol Dirty Dastard]

Indians in 5

Baltimore world series run you predicted is going well too.

[Evil Vito]

It feels like Droford actually placed a bet on the Blue Jays after the Wild Card game and is now attempting to reverse jinx it into cashing in at all costs.

[Ol Dirty Dastard]

lol best part is if Cleveland beats Boston then beats Jays, Droford will take credit as though he had done it.

[Damian Rey 2.0]

He's just mad Baltimore blew a 4 game lead and his brilliant manager blew it.

[Damian Rey 2.0]

Can't wait till the Yankees sign Machado and Droford gets to see him shit on Baltimore every year

[Ol Dirty Dastard]

oh man this ninth inning is going to have me shitting myself. Really want the cleveland sweep so Jays and Cleveland both go in a bit cold.

[Ol Dirty Dastard]

plus Boston's failure will thrill me.

[Damian Rey 2.0]

Don't really care who wins. But I'm excited to watch.

[Damian Rey 2.0]

Btw the postseason coverage outside of Bob Costas has beenl awful.

[Ol Dirty Dastard]

oh yeah. I don't mind Ron Darling, but it's pretty woeful. As I've said, Dennis Eckersley is a god damned embarrassment as a commentator.

[Damian Rey 2.0]

He sucks. Whoever they've had doing play by play has sucked.

Darling is actually pretty good. Don't care for Ripken. At least Joe Morg....oh....I mean....Harold Reynolds isn't in the booth.

[Ol Dirty Dastard]

lmfao

[Ol Dirty Dastard]

Cody Allen is all nerves right now. Makes me thankful that Osuna is a serial killer.

[Droford]

Tis a shame Ortiz can't k to end the game

[Ol Dirty Dastard]

shutup Droford you're jinxing the indians.

[Evil Vito]

Indians are totally gonna blow it now.

[Droford]

lol best part is if Cleveland beats Boston then beats Jays, Droford will take credit as though he had done it.
Well I did say that Boston would get swept before the series even started.
Can't wait till the Yankees sign Machado and Droford gets to see him shit on Baltimore every year
That's never going to happen.

[Ol Dirty Dastard]

what did you think would happen when the Jays played Texas, jackass?

[Droford]

I'm pretty sure there's no one in Cleveland who would have predicted a 3 game sweep

[Droford]

Cleveland in 5 over the Jays

[Emperor Smeat]

:-\ Red Sox got swept. Between this series and the end of the season, Sox won just 1 game since the Rays series.

:wavesad: Big Papi.

[Evil Vito]

Either Toronto or Cleveland will be in the World Series. That's pretty wild.

[Bad News Gertner]

Jays are going to destroy the Tribe

[Evil Vito]

Seeya Boston! Now you can get back to writing about how the world owes you another Super Bowl.

[Damian Rey 2.0]

Can't wait for the press conference 47th Machado at Yankee stadium, where he professes he's always been a Yankees fan and gets to live out a childhood dream. It's gonna be a Kodak moment

[Damian Rey 2.0]

JAKE FUCKING ARRIETA!

Hey Droford, who'd he used to play for?

[Damian Rey 2.0]

Fucking Joe Cool no selling the homer while the dugout goes nuts.

[Frank Drebin]

JAKE FUCKING ARRIETA!

Hey Droford, who'd he used to play for?

They wouldn't have been able to fit him into the rotation in BAL anyway. pffftt.

[Frank Drebin]

Even year magic running out. Still alot of time, but a 3 run blast to start off the scoring is no joke. Hoping for an Arrieta meltdown is a tough proposition.

[Droford]

Can't wait for the press conference 47th Machado at Yankee stadium, where he professes he's always been a Yankees fan and gets to live out a childhood dream. It's gonna be a Kodak moment

He was a huge A Rod fan and I'm sure A Rod has told him not to think about playing for the Yankees.

But its moot because he will sign a long term contract with the Orioles.

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

Shit. Blue Jays/Cubbies book that.

[Evil Vito]

JAKE FUCKING ARRIETA!

Hey Droford, who'd he used to play for?

Pitchers hitting in the NL 4 life

[Damian Rey 2.0]

Can't wait to hear how vilified Manny becomes when he leaves because Baltimore is stuck paying the corpse of Chris Davis.

[Evil Vito]

As much as I wish I was watching Thor pitching to the Cubs in Citi Field right now, I feel like the Mets would have only fared marginally better than the Giants have this series. Mets stood a better chance of blasting a few out of Wrigley but Colon was never going to put together the kind of start Cueto did in Game 1.

[Ol Dirty Dastard]

He was a huge A Rod fan and I'm sure A Rod has told him not to think about playing for the Yankees.

But its moot because he will sign a long term contract with the Orioles.

So he can keep playing for a team whose fans never show up to the stadium?

[Droford]

Can't wait to hear how vilified Manny becomes when he leaves because Baltimore is stuck paying the corpse of Chris Davis.

I already explained how Chris Davis' contract won't really be an issue with Mannys contract.

[Ol Dirty Dastard]

You've also explained to us about how Baltimore was going to go to the World Series this year. Your credibility has come into question.

[Damian Rey 2.0]

No. You've come up with an ignorantly optimistic situation where Machado, for no logical reason, would take a discounted/deferred first 3 years of his deal to accommodate the albatross of Davis' deal before getting into big money after that deal is finally off the books.

Unfortunately for you, reality will hit and Machado will just walk over to Yankee stadium, where they'll pay him 25-30 a year with no deferrals and no being a nice guy for 3 years.

[Ol Dirty Dastard]

I have to say it'd be pretty lame to see Manny in Pinstripes. Hopefully he either just stays with Baltimore or goes to a big market outside of the East.

[Ol Dirty Dastard]

Christ. Can't believe Arietta hit .262 for the regular season. Dude has legit pop in his bat.

[Evil Vito]

Want the Cubs to win but that was an absolutely dreadful call.

[Ol Dirty Dastard]

I predicted the explanation too. Couldn't depict if he caught it at the same time his foot came off the bag.

[Damian Rey 2.0]

Maddon not fucking around. Going with Chapman now

[Emperor Smeat]

Cubs' Almora just missed on making a really amazing catch

[Damian Rey 2.0]

Well fuck me

[Damian Rey 2.0]

Almora keeps running and he snags it. Falling down to try and catch it fucked it up.

[RaginRonic]

I kinda wish the Blue Jays would be allowed to succeed in secrecy...looks like that's not permitted when it comes to the playoffs.

=(

[ClockShot]

Dear Cleveland Indians,

You're welcome.


Good luck,

The New York Yankees.

[screech]

I have to say it'd be pretty lame to see Manny in Pinstripes. Hopefully he either just stays with Baltimore or goes to a big market outside of the East.

Can't stand him, but it'd be neat to see Machado in the lineup with Trout.

I know the Angels couldn't afford him though.

[Frank Drebin]

Kinda surprised the Giants are starting matt moore. Thought for sure they would start Cueto on 4 days rest then mad bum on 3 if they were down 2-1

[Evil Vito]

Cueto is only on 3 days rest right now....but I think he should be pitching.

Feel like if you're an ace-level pitcher and you aren't demanding the ball on short rest in an elimination game, something is wrong with you. I think Kershaw should be pitching today for the same reason.

[RP]

<iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/YkhyBPI_xX8" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

[RP]

I was not shocked at all that the Giants pulled themselves off the mat and one.

I have no doubt whatsoever that the Cubs are taking care of business tonight.

[Evil Vito]

I hope for the Cubs' sake that they do win tonight. If they don't I feel like a good majority of their fans won't sleep until Thursday.

[RP]

I sure as fuck wont

[DaveWadding]

Cubs got even yeared right in the butthole. They're going to destroy Matt Moore tonight though.

[RP]

No one knows Matt Moore better that Joe Maddon. I'm not worried at all. Also, Rizzo destroys Lefties and is destined to break out tonight in a big way.

[Evil Vito]

Playoff Kershaw fucking up. God dammit.

[RP]

Have him in my DFS team tonight but so does everyone else so all good.

[RP]

I love Tim Tebow so much.

[RP]

Maddon says Lackey was "Unapproachable " on the team bus today.

Lackey probably going ham tonight.

[DaveWadding]

I love Tim Tebow so much.

[Evil Vito]

Oh god if Murph is the hero here I might be done with playoff baseball for the year.

[Evil Vito]

Aaaaand that's it. Fuck this shit

[Emperor Smeat]

Umm does ESPN know something about this game everyone else doesn't?

This is there front page stuff for the game going on right now:
The Dodgers' bullpen wasted Clayton Kershaw's gutty performance Tuesday, allowing three runs in the seventh inning. Kershaw pitched 6 2/3 innings on short rest, leaving with the bases loaded. The Dodgers win Game 4 to extend the NLDS.

Game still has 2 and a half innings left.

[Damian Rey 2.0]

Time to let go Vito. You waste too much energy on silly shit, like an ex met having success elsewhere. Who cares? He's not on your team anymore. Just let him go and live happy.

[ClockShot]

BoSox keeping Farrell around it seems.

The Nationals are choke artists

[Ol Dirty Dastard]

you are a cheese goblin, Droford.

[Frank Drebin]

If the Cubs lose, I get $500+ so go Giants.

[Droford]

So after the Sox got swept and after the Nats choke away another one and after The Indians win in 5 If that makes me a cheese goblin then I guess I'm a cheese goblin (i have no idea what that is)

[Ol Dirty Dastard]

a goblin consisting mostly of cheese.

[Ol Dirty Dastard]

After all your predictions come true, Baltimore will still have been eliminated by the Blue Jays.

[Ruien]

Or Balt would have won the division. Blue Jays would have missed the playoffs. Or a ton of other shit. Ravens would also be going 13-0.

[Damian Rey 2.0]

Is Droford this bad in the NFL thread? Jesus.

I can't wait to hear how Baltimore doesn't need Machado when he walks and declines Droford's dumb idea that he'll take a 3 year pay cut to stay instead of cash in and leave.

The Nationals are choke artists, but Baltimore choked away the division, the wildcard game, out bidding themselves on Davis' contract, signing Fowler only to let him walk, giving Gallardo a contract to give back a 5.42 ERA, Trumbo falling off a fucking cliff in the 2nd half, Joey Rickard sucking balls and losing his spot to the guy who should've started from the beginning, Weiters taking the money and providing below average offense, giving O'Day a big contract to get a 3.7 ERA in return, and, oh yeah, choking in the playoffs.

[Evil Vito]

Time to let go Vito. You waste too much energy on silly shit, like an ex met having success elsewhere. Who cares? He's not on your team anymore. Just let him go and live happy.

If you wouldn't get upset seeing a guy who spent his whole career on your team get let go and transform into an MVP candidate IN YOUR DIVISION...I don't know what to tell you.

He was the first player in history to get a hit in all 19 games in a single season against his former team, clubbed 7 HR against them, pumped his first after every defensive stop and celebrated during every single game against the Mets like it was the World Series.

Why in the world would I want to see him win a ring? To further validate that Sandy completely fucked up in his assessment of him as a player?

[Ol Dirty Dastard]

Lackey is hittable tonight.

[Evil Vito]

Conor Gillespie has been quite a story. Wasn't even meant to start the Wild Card game and has suddenly turned into an offensive juggernaut.

[Droford]

After all your predictions come true, Baltimore will still have been eliminated by the Blue Jays.

And the Red Sox won the same number of playoff games as the Orioles.

[Evil Vito]

Travis Wood HR. Jake Arrieta HR. Matt Moore RBI single.

#ScrewTheDH

[Droford]

I should actually root for Toronto to win the WS because it'll increase the likelihood they pay out a bunch of money to EE and Bautista and maybe 43 year old RA Dickey comes back instead of retiring

[Droford]

Dodgers Giants NLCS

Somebody gonna die again

[Evil Vito]

Feel like if the Giants win the World Series again they may as well just stop having baseball during even years.

If the Cubs lose this series they might as well just give up. I

Nobody in their right mind could've guessed Murphy was gonna hit 40 plus points per ops+ higher than his career numbers. Nobody. Not even the Nats, because they'd be lying if they came out and said they saw it in him. The only reason they signed him was because they couldn't get Philips from Cincinnati. They just got lucky that Murphy had a likely fluke season.

And who cares? He's not on your team. What does sulking about it do? Adrian Gonzalez plays and murders the fucking Padres. Every. Single. Year. Murphy couldn't lace Gonzo's jock. But who cares? He's not in the hometown jersey so whatever fluke got steak he gets or career year he pulls out of his ass is moot because it ain't on the hometown team. He walked. Just let it go man.

[Droford]

Baez hustlin

[Ol Dirty Dastard]

I was still rooting for David Price in Boston for the most part and he was a HUGE fan favourite here.

[Damian Rey 2.0]

Haven't seen a guy move that quick since Showalter tried dodging questions about not using Britton

[Evil Vito]

I don't think Damian Rey understands how sports work.

[Evil Vito]

Kinda think I understand why RDD said Damian Rey was a far worse part of these threads than Droford. No easy accomplishment.

[Ol Dirty Dastard]

Vito, you do have a bit of a flair for the dramatic. I mean it's great lol but it's true.

[Ol Dirty Dastard]

Kinda think I understand why RDD said Damian Rey was a far worse part of these threads than Droford. No easy accomplishment.

RDD is a shitstick sometimes though. Damo just has his opinions, but it's not like he's a big dumb idiot like Droford.

[Evil Vito]

Go through the thread this year. The dude goes out of his way to be a contrarian to everything I say here.

Oh well. If the Mets don't re-sign Cespedes you won't see me in here anymore anyways.

[Droford]

I was still rooting for David Price in Boston for the most part and he was a HUGE fan favourite here.

Price should have gone somewhere with no shot at the playoffs so he wouldn't have to even begin to worry about pitching in playoffs. Wanna talk about stupid contracts..let's give 200 + million to a guy whose 0-7 as a starter in the playoffs. Brilliant signing for a team expecting to be in the playoffs every year of his contract. What are they going to do..not let him pitch?

[Ol Dirty Dastard]

he's contrarian with everyone. Just stick to your guns.

Like how I still believe wins are valid as a pitcher :p

[Ol Dirty Dastard]

Price should have gone somewhere with no shot at the playoffs so he wouldn't have to even begin to worry about pitching in playoffs. Wanna talk about stupid contracts..let's give 200 + million to a guy whose 0-7 as a starter in the playoffs. Brilliant signing

He got way too much money. At the time it was hard to see him go, but I was happy the Jays didn't offer him that kind of idiotic deal. Now Boston is paying the price (pun not intended but kind of lolworthy).

[Droford]

Whoever was filling out that scorecard was sitting almost exactly where I was sitting back in August

[Droford]

Lol if it's a Believeland vs Believen WS

Who believes more

Not to mention an almost city for city rematch of the NBA finals

Red Sox have been really dumb with over paying in recent years but at the same time signing Price was also a panic move considering the previous 2 years.

Lost out on both Lester and Scherzer for 2014's offseason and backfired big time with the no real ace plan for 2015's season.

[Damian Rey 2.0]

Go through the thread this year. The dude goes out of his way to be a contrarian to everything I say here.

Oh well. If the Mets don't re-sign Cespedes you won't see me in here anymore anyways.

Wtf are you talking about? Did you miss the part where I was stoked and rooting for the Mets with you last year, and fucking complimented them for figuring out a rather brilliant way to sign him going into this year? Or even recently, the agreement they need to resign Colon and look to replace Wright?

Dale has it right. I just give my opinions on things. Some agree. Some don't. If you wanna blow energy complaining to a FUCKING PADRES FAN about your best players playing on other teams then have it. I just don't see why you'd waste the energy, but it is your energy.

If I'm Droford or worse does that make you NegaDroford? Rips his team at every turn and gives up on them at every obstacle?

[RP]

Not looking good at all.

[Evil Vito]

Like how I still believe wins are valid as a pitcher :p

I remember him trying to tell me the Mets' MVP wasn't worth re-signing. roflllllllllll

[Evil Vito]

Oh well. I suppose it's better to be stressed about baseball than be stressed about a failed marriage. HEYOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

[RP]

At some point, Rizzo has to arrive or i'll have questions

[Evil Vito]

Cubs fucking melting down here.

[Damian Rey 2.0]

Oh well. I suppose it's better to be stressed about baseball than be stressed about a failed marriage. HEYOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

That hurts man. No need for it. Thought you were better than that. Apparently not.

[Ol Dirty Dastard]

Oh well. I suppose it's better to be stressed about baseball than be stressed about a failed marriage. HEYOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

making it a little personal over some banter over Daniel Murphy, aren't we?

[Evil Vito]

Was gonna make a nifty post about the last time the Giants losing an elimination game being Game 7 of the 2002 World Series with John Lackey starting for the Angels...but I forgot they made the playoffs in 2003. Dammit Marlins.

[Evil Vito]

actually I shouldn't have forgotten the 2003 Giants as they were responsible for creating this:

now you all can read future Vito Cruz rant posts in Mad Dog's voice

[Evil Vito]

Daniel Murphy is a homophobe

Feel like Droford would love to have him on the Orioles

[Evil Vito]

making it a little personal over some banter over Daniel Murphy, aren't we?

Nah, I merely pulled a modified Costanza

Cubs fucking melting down here.

We're coming back

[RP]

We have them right where we want them

[Ol Dirty Dastard]

good play by Pence. Total rally killer.

[Damian Rey 2.0]

So I go in the bathroom to cry after Vito hurt my feelings, and I come back to see the Giants up 5-2.

Matt Moore picking a wonderful time this far to find he top prospect potential.

[Evil Vito]

I gotta say I do like Pence a lot. Guy looks like he wouldn't look out of place in the crowd of a Grateful Dead concert.

[Damian Rey 2.0]

Pence is one of the best secret long term deals in recent history. Everything he does looks all herky jerky but he does it all.

[Ruien]

Go through the thread this year. The dude goes out of his way to be a contrarian to everything I say here.

Oh well. If the Mets don't re-sign Cespedes you won't see me in here anymore anyways.

But he adds a element to this thread with actual points. Droford just says idiotic things over and over.

[Ruien]

RP won't be sleeping tonight.

Going to feel bad for all the Cub fans at work if they blow this series.

[RP]

I'm not worried still. Lot of game to go.

[Ruien]

2 innings for 3 runs? That would scare me.

[Ruien]

Although the White Sox can't score 3 runs in an entire game so ya.

[RP]

I'll tell you this much. If we go to game 5. Jon Lester is an End game boss. And i feel good. But i'm not giving up on this game right now.

[RP]

I believe we are going to win this game tonight. I'm sticking by it. I think this one will be won in extra innings.

[Damian Rey 2.0]

Well they came back last night. So it's not impossible and the Giants don't have the greatest pen.

I'm pulling for the Cubbies just to see something different this postseason.

[RP]

We gotta get Matt Moore out of the game.

[Damian Rey 2.0]

Moore is fucking dealing tonight. And Bochy isn't shy. Doubt he pulls him assuming he gets thru the 8th

[Frank Drebin]

We gotta get Matt Moore out of the game.

They had their chance but Fowler got forced out at 2nd on that bloop in right. Not blaming Dex but that was the chance. Moore might have had one batter left because Rizzo is a lefty before he got pulled if they wanted to start playing matchups.

[RP]

Well if he pulls him he'd dumb cause there pen is junk.

[Frank Drebin]

Meanwhile....back in Chicago....

[Damian Rey 2.0]

I don't think he's gonna pull him. Meanwhile Gillaspie continues to be this year's unlikely hero.

[Ol Dirty Dastard]

Joe Panik

[Damian Rey 2.0]

Moore out. Law in.

[Damian Rey 2.0]

Here we go. 2 on, nobody out. And Bochy going to the pen again.

[Frank Drebin]

well, ill be damned.....still no outs

[Ol Dirty Dastard]

Things are getting interesting.

[Damian Rey 2.0]

Where the fuck is everyone? Zobrist with an RBI double. 5-3, 2 on in scoring pos, nobody out.

Chapman up in the pen. And Bochy coming out with a pitching change.

[Damian Rey 2.0]

I love baseball.

[Frank Drebin]

Alright, Willson. Show em why you should be the starter.

[Frank Drebin]

Fun fact: Willson Contreras is the longest tenured player in the Cubs organization. He was signed as a 17 year old amateur from Venezuela in 2009.

[Damian Rey 2.0]

Maddon and Bochy going toe to toe here. Two of the best wheeling and dealing.

[Ol Dirty Dastard]

Fresh Prince on the mound right now

[Ol Dirty Dastard]

WOOOOOOOOO

[Frank Drebin]

atta boy!

[Damian Rey 2.0]

FUCK YEAH!

[Evil Vito]

Hell of a rally right there

[Ol Dirty Dastard]

oh man fucking brutal throw to first. Brutal bunt by Heyward

[Damian Rey 2.0]

Well that ended up ok.

[Frank Drebin]

Heyward with the worst bunt. Luckily Crawford is having the worst day defensively hes had all year.

[Damian Rey 2.0]

Fucking Bochy out again lmao. He's gonna run thru the pen again.

[Ol Dirty Dastard]

Pure (Joe) Panik by Crawford on that throw.

[Ol Dirty Dastard]

Shoulda left Law in there. Coulda probably gotten out of the game.

[Frank Drebin]

Amazing

[Ol Dirty Dastard]

HELL YES

[Evil Vito]

Oh snap

[RP]

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO THATS RIGHT MOTHERUCKERS!

[Damian Rey 2.0]

Maybe. I think Bochy has felt burned by his pen too many times to stick with anyone

JAVIER PINCHE BAEZ

[Evil Vito]

If the Giants come back and win this, they're huge trolls

[RP]

I TOLD ALL OF YOU!

[Damian Rey 2.0]

Javier trying to give the Giants his good Baez

[RP]

I TOLD ALL OF YOU FROM THE FUCKING 5TH INNING!

[RP]

GO FUCK YOURSELVES WHAT!

[RP]

NEVER GIVE UP JOHN CENA MOTHERFUCKER!

[RP]

WHAT WHAT WHAT WHAT WHAT !!!!!

[Frank Drebin]

Welp....here we go.

[RP]

KENNETH BONE MOTHERFUCKERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Evil Vito]

Hope the Cubs can win the whole thing. Would be surreal.

Also maybe that would bring peace and harmony to the city.

[RP]

KENNETH BONE BELIEVED IN AMERICA AND AMERICA BELIEVES IN THE CUBS!

[Evil Vito]

And for the sake of all of our Cubs fans here I hope they win it all because the Bears/Cards/Colts all seem like huge dumpster fires this season.

[RP]

Meanwhile....back in Chicago....
http://www.inquisitr.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/panic-buttons.jpg

FUCK YOU FGT!

[Ol Dirty Dastard]

Roldy Chapman's gonna have to ear his pay here.

[Damian Rey 2.0]

Jesus what a fucking postseason it's been and we're barely thru the first round.

[Damian Rey 2.0]

Chapman looking to bounce back here. I'm fucking glued right now

[Damian Rey 2.0]

Javier Baez is walking away from this postseason, regardless of outcome, a superstar. He's put on a show with the bat and glove thus far

[Damian Rey 2.0]

The Cubs, despite, being shut down by Moore, made throw a ton of pitches for a guy who looks like he dominated. And it paid off getting into the pen.

[Ol Dirty Dastard]

albeit my baseball watching has been limited in the past decade, I've never seen anyone range like Baez.

[RP]

Chapman throwing cheese

[RP]

Theo trying to play it off like this is not a big deal.

[Damian Rey 2.0]

Chapman dealing here.

[Damian Rey 2.0]

Theo trying to play it off like this is not a big deal.

Hoyer, meanwhile, looks like his life's on the line

[Damian Rey 2.0]

ONE MORE STRIKE

The Even Year Giants are dead!

[Frank Drebin]

Ballgame, Maggle!!

[Damian Rey 2.0]

HELL YAYASS!

THAT RIghT!!!

[Ol Dirty Dastard]

Chapman throwing cheese

Get out of here Dennis Eckersley. Call it heat like a normal fucking person.

[RP]

THATS RIGHT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!11

[Damian Rey 2.0]

How much money do the Giants shell out for high leverage relievers this offseason?

[Damian Rey 2.0]

Jesus these last two games.

[Frank Drebin]

How much money do the Giants shell out for high leverage relievers this offseason?

Giants welcome Aroldis Chapman on 5 year 80 million dollar deal

[Evil Vito]

Would love to see the Cubs dick the Nats silly if they meet in the NLCS.

Cubs/Dodgers would be pretty swell too

[RP]

I said it before this game, we needed to get to the Giants bulpen. I said it an hour ago in this thread, we gotta get Matt Moore out of this game. Guess what. We got him out. We got to that bad bullpen and we raked hard. Love it. So much.

[Damian Rey 2.0]

I'd like to see Nats Cubs. I like a lot of the players there. Dodgers Cubs would be ok.

Regardless guaranteed a fresh world series matchup.

[RP]

Cubs want Dodgers for sure. We just need to dodge a possibly injured Kershaw? Give us that.
