Fuck all these great fielding plays.

 

[Winged_Wheel88]

YES!!!!!!!

Another sac bunt ends up getting the job done. 3-1 Detroit! A MUCH needed run.

 

[Winged_Wheel88]

I miss Higgy.

I don't feel at all comfortable with this slim lead. I feel like a guy who is positioned precariously over a seat of flaming sharp spikes who is trying hard not to fart but earlier had a plate full of beans for dinner. One slip...one lapse of concentration...and it's all over in one gory blaze of fire.

2-out basehit for Oakland.

 

[Winged_Wheel88]

Walk.

 

[Winged_Wheel88]

BIG sigh of relief.

Top of the ninth.

MOAR RUNS

 

[Winged_Wheel88]

Tigers went down 1-2-3 in the ninth.

Here we go! 3 long outs away from advancing to the next round......

 

[Winged_Wheel88]

Seeing-eye single to lead off. FUCK.

 

[Winged_Wheel88]

Men on 2nd and 3rd with nobody out. Dear God.

 

[Winged_Wheel88]

Epic fucking choke job, Valverde. Epic.

Epic fucking choke job, Valverde. Epic.

Couldn't happen to a better closer.

Well maybe K-Rod.

 

[Winged_Wheel88]

I'm gutted.

 

[4thstreet]

it's the series clinching game,they're ahead 2 runs,and Leyland takes out Benoit.
fuck the set-up/closer shit now,you keep the guy pitching hot in.

 

[GagneFire12]

Just wow. Even if this team loses game 5, they have been the best story in baseball. Hands down.

Change his name to Valfarte.

 

[sherbert1421]

I had a bad feeling that valverde would choke and sure enough....

If verlander doesn't pitch a complete game tomorrow, tigers are done

I'm gutted.

"That ball wouldn't have been out of a lot of parks."

"Name one."

"Yosemite."



I gotta say, this team of Smoltz and Ripken doing color is top notch. Get them with Gary Thorne doing Play by Play and you have something.

MASN switches up their broadcast teams a lot, I have no idea why, but partway through the season they started pairing Thorne with Mike Bordick a lot. I really think they work well together, they were fun to listen to.
