Scrotum.; October 5, 2018 at 7:01 PM
JM said...: Well said, Winnie.; October 5, 2018 at 7:09 PM
thecontrarian said...: The COL/MIL game has been very dramatic. 1-0 MIL B8. I'm all in on Milwaukee.; October 5, 2018 at 7:22 PM

I'll be checking in from my fortress of solitude, here above the Arctic Circle.

JM said...: Rockies have Yankees disease. Can't hit anything. Brewers keep sending out Cy Young.; October 5, 2018 at 7:29 PM
thecontrarian said...: OTOH, Milwaukee can't get a runner in from third with no outs. Twice. And they're working on a third time. Charmed, I'm sure.; October 5, 2018 at 7:31 PM
Pocono Steve said...: Oh well. We'll only be down 0-1 after this debacle.; October 5, 2018 at 7:38 PM
ranger_lp said...: Sale threw 25 pitches...plan is to work him...; October 5, 2018 at 7:45 PM
Pocono Steve said...: After Cutch and Judge, I did find it encouraging that we were work some 3-ball counts.; October 5, 2018 at 7:49 PM
JM said...: I don't think I can listen to Ron Darling and this other mook. Even the time delay is better.; October 5, 2018 at 7:50 PM
ranger_lp said...: So much for getting Happ to face the RedSox...jeez...; October 5, 2018 at 7:54 PM
JM said...: Oh shit.

Defensive pitching sucks, as Suzyn says.; October 5, 2018 at 7:54 PM
13bit said...: Going to bed. See you all in a few months.; October 5, 2018 at 7:55 PM
Ken of Brooklyn said...: OH CRAP!; October 5, 2018 at 7:55 PM
thecontrarian said...: Time for another Percocet; October 5, 2018 at 7:56 PM
JM said...: The Master said it was a disastrous inning.; October 5, 2018 at 7:58 PM
13bit said...: The 2018 team shows up swinging and striking out.; October 5, 2018 at 7:59 PM
ranger_lp said...: There goes your no-hitter.; October 5, 2018 at 8:01 PM
JM said...: "There's a base hit... it's a foul ball..."; October 5, 2018 at 8:02 PM

ranger_lp said...: Andujar killed that rally...; October 5, 2018 at 8:05 PM
JM said...: Bleh.; October 5, 2018 at 8:05 PM
thecontrarian said...: Already weak execution. Happ has no more room for error; October 5, 2018 at 8:06 PM
13bit said...: Got them soul-sucking, broken toilet case of diarrhea GIDP blues...; October 5, 2018 at 8:06 PM
13bit said...: That’s okay, ICS is going to hit a 7-run homer soon.; October 5, 2018 at 8:09 PM
BernBabyBern said...: Had to miss the first inning, but that's OK, Happ owns the Sox. So, let me see where we're at here ...

Oh, fuck.; October 5, 2018 at 8:12 PM
JM said...: John and Suze say Happ would pitch Game 5, if there is one. Why not the fourth? Tuesday, he should be ready.; October 5, 2018 at 8:12 PM
Rufus T. Firefly said...: broken toilets suck.

So does the TBS announcing team.; October 5, 2018 at 8:12 PM
JM said...: Sorry, Bern.; October 5, 2018 at 8:12 PM
TheWinWarblist said...: I go to the fucking ER to fuvkfuc see a new fucking patient and it's fucking 3 to fucking 0.; October 5, 2018 at 8:13 PM
13bit said...: You know what? We can beat these assholes. Happ just has to hold, which I think he can, and these morons need to wake up and start hitting. Even if they win the World Series, we need to hire a completely new coaching staff. Keep all the old coaches on the payroll and put them in an RV and force them to live together for a year on the road in Arizona with no air conditioning.; October 5, 2018 at 8:14 PM
JM said...: TV is about one full pitch behind radio.; October 5, 2018 at 8:14 PM
el duque said...: If Happ settles down, we've got a shot; October 5, 2018 at 8:14 PM
JM said...: It's early yet. Not worried.; October 5, 2018 at 8:14 PM
thecontrarian said...: Darling is the driest of the Mets booth team. He misses Keith and Gary.; October 5, 2018 at 8:15 PM
JM said...: John is explaining why you can't predict baseball.; October 5, 2018 at 8:15 PM
Pocono Steve said...: Why'd he have to go and give us agita first, tho?; October 5, 2018 at 8:15 PM
BernBabyBern said...: That's OK, John, if I'm going to miss an inning, that was probably the best one to miss. One less garbage can I'll have to replace die to random kicks.; October 5, 2018 at 8:16 PM
13bit said...: We can beat these broken-down shitfaces. Have faith, Winnie.; October 5, 2018 at 8:16 PM
JM said...: Ditch Darling, he sucks. And I don't mean those old rumors about him.; October 5, 2018 at 8:16 PM
Rufus T. Firefly said...: MLB obviously told the umps to call the strike zone for sale 3 inches outside and low.; October 5, 2018 at 8:17 PM
13bit said...: Captain Klondike Bar with the situational hitting skillzzzzzzx....; October 5, 2018 at 8:18 PM

46 pitches here in the 3rd, two out.; October 5, 2018 at 8:20 PM

13bit said...: SCROTUM; October 5, 2018 at 8:23 PM
Rufus T. Firefly said...: Darling is a fuckwad.

Grew up in Masshole ville and played for the Mutts.

What could be lower?; October 5, 2018 at 8:24 PM
13bit said...: Lower than the old wad of Big Red on my boot heel...; October 5, 2018 at 8:25 PM
JM said...: Fuck.; October 5, 2018 at 8:25 PM
13bit said...: I’m never going to say the word “scrotum” again on this blog after that double.; October 5, 2018 at 8:27 PM

ranger_lp said...: Pickles is not on the roster...; October 5, 2018 at 8:29 PM
Rufus T. Firefly said...: The umps decided this one in the first. Giving sale a two foot wide strike zone with four inches below the knees.; October 5, 2018 at 8:31 PM
JM said...: Green.; October 5, 2018 at 8:31 PM
thecontrarian said...: At this rate there IS NO Game 4 for the Yanks.; October 5, 2018 at 8:31 PM
JM said...: Umps never biased at Fenway.

Well, there's another hit.; October 5, 2018 at 8:31 PM
JM said...: Jesus. Almost another Homer.; October 5, 2018 at 8:34 PM
13bit said...: Got them “somebody made a change purse out of my scrotal sack blues” and I ain’t a gonna be treated this a way....; October 5, 2018 at 8:34 PM

BernBabyBern said...: The Yankees' phone doesn't work. In the playoffs. At Fenway. Imagine that.; October 5, 2018 at 8:41 PM
thecontrarian said...: Want to know the difference. Of course you do. Here it is. Mookie didn't hesitate to throw to first and almost got Torres. Judge waited just a hair too long to see if Benintendi was really going, and lost the edge. We're going down if we don't wake up.; October 5, 2018 at 8:41 PM
JM said...: Only three, six to go. IF they come back, how crushing would that be?

Sale gone in or at end of sixth, at best. Then the soft underbelly.; October 5, 2018 at 8:41 PM
JM said...: John reminded us that last year, we lost the first two to Cleveland, then won. Lost the first two to Houston, and almost won.; October 5, 2018 at 8:44 PM

TheWinWarblist said...: Well said Rufus.; October 5, 2018 at 8:49 PM
JM said...: Porcelain groin Hicks.; October 5, 2018 at 8:49 PM
thecontrarian said...: We can ill afford to lose Hicks at this point. Oh shit...........; October 5, 2018 at 8:50 PM
Rufus T. Firefly said...: Umps are calling this for the league office.

Strikes SIX FUCKING INCHES OFF THE PLATE called for sale.

The league office obviously wants this to be a five game series.

JM said...: Nice tirade.; October 5, 2018 at 8:51 PM
Rufus T. Firefly said...: What the fuck. Just watch game five. The fucking asshole league office wants that, so the umps will make sure.; October 5, 2018 at 8:52 PM

JM said...: Rufus, what are you drinking? I want some; October 5, 2018 at 8:56 PM
Rufus T. Firefly said...: He'll have to hit a ball six inches outside and six inches low for a home run in order for the Yankees to score.; October 5, 2018 at 8:56 PM

Rufus T. Firefly said...: BUCK Foston!; October 5, 2018 at 8:58 PM

JM said...: Nice martini. Best gin there is, omo.; October 5, 2018 at 8:59 PM
Rufus T. Firefly said...: How can you hit a fucking pitch a FOOT outside?

The umps are giving that to sale.; October 5, 2018 at 8:59 PM

JM said...: And got him.

We need to wear Sale out this inning. He's not up to snuff on stamina, methinks.; October 5, 2018 at 9:09 PM
Rufus T. Firefly said...: Buck Foston!; October 5, 2018 at 9:09 PM
Rufus T. Firefly said...: Need to light him up.

...but that's kinda hard with a three foot wide strike zone. People not named AnDUjar don't hit that well in those circumstances.; October 5, 2018 at 9:11 PM
13bit said...: Rufus, my good fellow, there is no need for decorum here. FUCK BOSTON; October 5, 2018 at 9:11 PM

JM said...: Not if it was the last vaginalike city on Earth.; October 5, 2018 at 9:15 PM
13bit said...: Yes, there is no need to restrain ourselves tonight. That would be asking too much from this crew. I guess there will be no juju intervention tonight. I’m going to walk the dog and 15 minutes and meditate by the World War I doughboy statue near me. I’m going to think about sacrifice, focus, and what really counts.; October 5, 2018 at 9:16 PM

Rufus T. Firefly said...: If there is a god, he will bring the automated strike zone next year.

This umpiring sucks.

No it SUCKS!

No, IT SUCKS!

NO,

IT SUCKS!, IT SUCKS!, IT SUCKS!, IT SUCKS!, IT SUCKS!, IT SUCKS!, IT SUCKS!, IT SUCKS!, IT SUCKS!, IT SUCKS!, IT SUCKS!, IT SUCKS!, IT SUCKS!, IT SUCKS!, IT SUCKS!, IT SUCKS!, IT SUCKS!, IT SUCKS!, IT SUCKS!, IT SUCKS!, IT SUCKS!, IT SUCKS!, IT SUCKS!, IT SUCKS!

Did I mention that the umpiring really sucks?; October 5, 2018 at 9:17 PM

JM said...: Rufus, what are you trying to say?; October 5, 2018 at 9:18 PM
Rufus T. Firefly said...: Gotta love the 'hoosegow'.; October 5, 2018 at 9:19 PM
13bit said...: I am told that the Apollo astronauts looked at Fenway from space and said “that looks like a gigantic asshole in the middle of Boston.“ I have that on good word from Mission Control. I have actually been against the automated strike zone until tonight. This is an abomination.; October 5, 2018 at 9:20 PM
JM said...: Hoosegow is a great old word.

Awry is good, too, but less colorful.; October 5, 2018 at 9:20 PM
Rufus T. Firefly said...: John M,

I think I mean the umpiring really, really, fucking sucks. Like absolute vacuum through a perforated pipe sucks.; October 5, 2018 at 9:20 PM
JM said...: Automate. Fire a few umps.; October 5, 2018 at 9:21 PM
JM said...: Oh, I see what you're saying.; October 5, 2018 at 9:21 PM
BernBabyBern said...: You know, as miserable as this game has been so far, we've still got 4 innings left, and we're only down 5. Not to sound like an optimist or anything, but in this crappy little bandbox-that-looks-like-a-parking-garage park, that ain't all that much.; October 5, 2018 at 9:22 PM
Rufus T. Firefly said...: 13bit, are you sure they didn't say festering boil?; October 5, 2018 at 9:22 PM
13bit said...: They can all go to their hotel tonight and look into the abyss, then decide whether or not they are going to play like champions or drown like rats.; October 5, 2018 at 9:24 PM

Fire the one behind the plate tonight, and all the other ones that 'want to be the focus of the game'; October 5, 2018 at 9:24 PM

BernBabyBern said...: THEY JUST REFERRED TO JOHN STERLING AS "THE GREAT JOHN STERLING"!!!

These announcers still suck, but at least they got one thing right.; October 5, 2018 at 9:25 PM
JM said...: You can't spell Trump without Ump.

Think about it.; October 5, 2018 at 9:25 PM
13bit said...: Rufus, they might have mentioned festering boil and they might have mentioned bloody hemorrhoids, but there was a lot of static on the line and there is some debate at Mission Control about what exactly they said. What has been established beyond a doubt, though, is that they all started vomiting into their space bags while they were discussing this serious issue.; October 5, 2018 at 9:26 PM

JM said...: You hear guys like this, making good money doing TV games, and any criticism of Sterling goes out the window. He and Susan give a fair assessment, and they have personality. Not like these mortician mouths.; October 5, 2018 at 9:28 PM
Rufus T. Firefly said...: God bless NASA. They are very observant.; October 5, 2018 at 9:28 PM
13bit said...: “Mortician mouth” is a good praise. I was driving across country years ago and the only way I could listen to games was on SIRIUS and, at that time, you only got the home team announcers. When they played Boston, I kept thinking how did those assholes sounded in the Boston booth.; October 5, 2018 at 9:30 PM

Actually, I don't care.; October 5, 2018 at 9:35 PM
