5:30 game

I wonder if they would call the game based on the forecast, cause they sure as shit would never want a delay

5:30?

It's a 7pm start.

It's a 7:00 game on my schedule.

 

[SlinkyRedfoot]

It's a 7:00 game on my schedule.

Same with the Indians' and Yankees' schedules.

 

[apachef4]

Yeah, but mine's the OFFICIAL schedule. It's just that nobody but me knows it...

 

[SlinkyRedfoot]

HOU/BOS looks like a long shot, though.

Chance of rain between 40-90% from 2pm until 10pm.

 

[DirtDirtDirt]

Same with the Indians' and Yankees' schedules.

Oh shit, FoxSPorts said 5:30 at the end of their broadcast last night
My bad

Or their bad

 

[navamind]

in regards to the Sox-Astros game:

 

[DirtDirtDirt]

Extra Day of rest for the Indians rotation and pen worries me more than the Yankees getting that same rest

 

[SlinkyRedfoot]

Shoulda won this series

How do you figure that?

Friday night is a win if correct decisions and umpire calls are made

Dirt, you know you have to take three games to win a best of five, right?

 

[SlinkyRedfoot]

Cant say it enough, he will be special, maybe the most special of the Judge/Sanchez/Bird trio.....You just dont teach that swing, especially in that stadium

I can't say enough about how badly his face annoyed the shit out of me after he took Miller deep. I just wanted to take a tack hammer and break his orbital bones.

If he doesn't watch himself, he's going to approach Dallas Keuchel levels off annoyability.

 

[SlinkyRedfoot]

AROD and PAPI on Fox is fun to watch

Agreed. I liked it when Papi was stroking himself raw over things he'd done with the Red Sox and A-Rod said something like, "hey, you juiced up Mexican, the Yankees just won a game, so zip it, Pendejo."

I'm paraphrasing a bit, but that was the gist of it.

 

[SlinkyRedfoot]

Yankees were also down 0-2 and also won 1-0 that day.

They'd go on to win the series.

So why weren't they on your list of teams that had come back from 0-2 holes?

Only 3 teams have ever come back from down 0-2 after losing the first two games on the road.

2003 Red Sox over A's
1999 Red Sox over Indians
1995 Mariners over Yankees

And in the history of the "best of 5" series, it's also been accomplished by:

1984 Padres over Cubs
1982 Brewers over Angels
1981 Dodgers over Astros

I don't think you read his message correctly

 

[SlinkyRedfoot]

Entirely possible. What'd I miss?

 

[bksballer89]

Entirely possible. What'd I miss?

I thought the list he posted was teams who came back from 2-0 down after dropping the 1st two away from home.

 

[navamind]

HAHAHAHAHAHA

 

[redseat]

Right now light rain in Boston so they will play as long as possible... Probably will go into a rain delay at some point

 

[PEOPLESCHICKEN]

Same with the Indians' and Yankees' schedules.

no 7:08? 7:09?

I hate when MLB does that
