Game 162

[fordman84]

Really, that wasn't a legit hit. 1st baseman was holding runner but didn't move off of the bag with the pitch. Terrible defense which I am very grateful for.

Everyone knows that, but run still counts. Can't believe ATL is actually going to choke this bad.

If anyone is watching MLB gameday, what is that symbol on the right side of the ATL ballparks picture? Should I know that? Looks like one of those dharma initiative symbols from LOST.

 

[fordman84]

I hope they both win so they have to play each other tomorrow! Bwahahahahaha

Of course is TPA wins, then I might just fly out and buy really cheap playoff tickets to see a game in sunny Florida

Just think that the Atlanta fans should not be upset with Pence or Linebrink. There is a reason this team completely imploded. Time for a new manager I think. This one is no Bobby Cox. That is for certain.

Well, looks like TPA is about to end it, BOS is about to pad the lead, and ATL down to last couple of outs.

Congrats to your Cardinals! Just three weeks ago I thought they were dead in the water.

Think I'll catch game 2 on Saturday, the tickets aint bad here, like $35 for grandstand seats which aint bad at all

Wow, Cards just made up an 8 1/2 game lead to win that Wild Card in September. I think the Phils just really screwed up. Cards are on a big roll and they've got one of the best offenses in baseball with solid pitching to boot. Phils had their choice. D-backs or Cards. They are getting what they wanted.

Bottom of the 9th for BAL, lol@ BOS

Thanks, I really thought they were toast but baseball is a funny, funny sport and that team underachieved all year. Still won 90 though.

Man, I keep looking at that replay of the go ahead run. Who is that ATL first baseman? Asleep in the field. The ball is looped his way and he waits forever to even break on it, and then has no chance. That dude is going to think about that one for a LONG time

You gotta play your best. If you try to pick your opponent you end up like the Spurs...firing up the hot team even more.

Man, TPA and BOS both failed to score with runners on 3rd and less than 2 out.

Could this night be anymore awesome? Hoping the Sox hold on. If they do the Rangers are pretty much in a win-win. How do you think the Tigers feel knowing that the Yanks have put 12 pitchers on the mound (maybe more)?

 

[fordman84]

flashback alert: batting for NYY is Greg Golson. I saw that name and the first thing I thought of was LL and that argument we all had with him a couple of years ago. Don't miss those days!

 

[fordman84]

Papeldong on the mound for BOS. Is it wrong taht I would love to see him give up the game and then NYY beat TPA. Still forces a playoff, but we get to see two teams back into the playoffs?

No I like that scenario too, last thing we need is either team riding an emotional high into the series.

 

[dmc0015]

Yanks in prime position to take the lead.

Let's go Crush!

Golson the boneheaded play!!!
