Evil Empire has to be cratered

― The Hon. J. Piedmont Mumblethunder (Dr Morbius), Monday, 3 October 2016 16:32 (eight years ago)

that term, i'm not sure you know what it means, but i know better than ppl on the politics boards not to tete-a-tete for eternity

anyway, i don't exactly love the sox's chances due to the same unpredictable pitching that's been an issue all year, but otherwise it's the most optimal matchup

― if young slothrop don't trust ya i'm gon' rhyme ya (slothroprhymes), Monday, 3 October 2016 16:39 (eight years ago)

don't overcomplicate it; i like to root vs the deep pockets and uh, colorful fanbase

― The Hon. J. Piedmont Mumblethunder (Dr Morbius), Monday, 3 October 2016 16:41 (eight years ago)

ie if a BOS-SF World Series takes place I will likely not watch

― The Hon. J. Piedmont Mumblethunder (Dr Morbius), Monday, 3 October 2016 16:47 (eight years ago)

lol neither will 65 percent of SF fans, thinking in a deep and irrepressible part of their heart that they've already won

Tribe forever

― marcos, Thursday, 6 October 2016 12:31 (eight years ago)

honestly, I can deal with any postseason outcome that isn't even year bullshit I swear to god

up to and including a humiliating sox loss. really can't call this one tho - sox are v good but the pitching is unpredictable beyond porcello (and even on good starts he's always a potential dinger surrenderer) and the tribe is v good but kinda injured

― if young slothrop don't trust ya i'm gon' rhyme ya (slothroprhymes), Thursday, 6 October 2016 15:09 (eight years ago)

Rooting for Cleveland. Kluber is my jam.

― Van Horn Street, Thursday, 6 October 2016 15:42 (eight years ago)

Don't mean to insult any Cleveland fans, and I may regret saying so, but I'm much rather the Jays have to face the Indians if they advance. So I'll root for them.

cal otm. if you can't stay on the bag, slide better or don't run

― mookieproof, Thursday, October 6, 2016 8:50 PM (four minutes ago)

lol without looking cal stole something like 15-20 bases in his career

― k3vin k., Friday, 7 October 2016 00:55 (eight years ago)

(not watching this game but) literally no one besides cal i guess thinks the way the replay rule is being applied, to call runners out who lose contact with the bag for a split-second (OVERsliding the bag is a different thing obv), is a good thing. it's self-evidently stupid

― k3vin k., Friday, 7 October 2016 00:57 (eight years ago)

benintendi's dugout name has to be NoBenintendid right?

― qualx, Friday, 7 October 2016 01:02 (eight years ago)

― if young slothrop don't trust ya i'm gon' rhyme ya (slothroprhymes), Friday, 7 October 2016 01:15 (eight years ago)

"the offs" has a massholish ring to it

― The Hon. J. Piedmont Mumblethunder (Dr Morbius), Friday, 7 October 2016 01:16 (eight years ago)

I think I stole that one from lag00n, so, potentially

weird game

― call all destroyer, Friday, 7 October 2016 01:47 (eight years ago)

Tito is pulling out all the stops. He's got Kluber tomorrow. He's doing everything he can to win this one.

― Mr. Snrub, Friday, 7 October 2016 01:54 (eight years ago)

just turned on this game. saw the bases loaded and they don't score but ahead.

― Bee OK, Friday, 7 October 2016 02:12 (eight years ago)

yeah after seeing the fiasco of the AL wild card, it's just great to see Andrew Miller used properly.

― Van Horn Street, Friday, 7 October 2016 02:43 (eight years ago)

strongly disapprove of joe kelly being in this game, if it were up to me he would not even be in ohio

― call all destroyer, Friday, 7 October 2016 02:50 (eight years ago)

I swear the play-by-play guy is saying "Steee-rike" like in Naked Gun.

Hell of a game. "I wish the game didn't end like that" oh shut the fuck up Cal, they won fair and square. Pedroia swung.

― Mr. Snrub, Friday, 7 October 2016 03:52 (eight years ago)

quite a game for roberto perez

― mookieproof, Friday, 7 October 2016 04:10 (eight years ago)

I think Cal meant he didn't want the game to end with people yelling at a ref.

― Van Horn Street, Friday, 7 October 2016 04:14 (eight years ago)

didn't want the game to end with pedroia being pedroia

lol is crisp's arm just garbage now? that was damon-esque, cut-off man in short left, still one-hopped it to him

― illegal economic migration (Tracer Hand), Monday, 10 October 2016 23:57 (eight years ago)

crisp had a bad arm when he was in his prime!

clev f/ legends of crisp / michael martinez / rajai Davis / brandon guyer are 1 inning from sweeping boston

― johnny crunch, Tuesday, 11 October 2016 01:26 (eight years ago)

also tito obv

― johnny crunch, Tuesday, 11 October 2016 01:28 (eight years ago)

mlb players with bad arms are so weird to me, kind of analogous to professional basketball players who can't shoot free throws. i 100% can throw better than crisp can

― k3vin k., Tuesday, 11 October 2016 01:33 (eight years ago)

Lots of three-ball counts.

― Andy K, Tuesday, 11 October 2016 01:49 (eight years ago)

Scary closer episode for Cleveland fans. When I looked up Allen's stats and saw 8 dingers gave up this year, I thought this might get interesting.

― earlnash, Tuesday, 11 October 2016 01:53 (eight years ago)

"He was really hoping...to play tomorrow." Thanks, Cal.

I can't believe we swept the Red Sox without Carrasco, Salazar, or Brantley. Tito for president!

― Mr. Snrub, Tuesday, 11 October 2016 02:10 (eight years ago)

good for the indians, maybe after they get smoked by toronto somebody will think to ask why tito emptied the chamber in this series.

― call all destroyer, Tuesday, 11 October 2016 02:16 (eight years ago)

respect where due to the Indians - damn good team despite the mascot

― if young slothrop don't trust ya i'm gon' rhyme ya (slothroprhymes), Tuesday, 11 October 2016 02:17 (eight years ago)

Cle-Cubs wd be a great faceoff btwn the two best tactical managers

― The Hon. J. Piedmont Mumblethunder (Dr Morbius), Tuesday, 11 October 2016 02:38 (eight years ago)

Really curious if Salazar will be back for the CS.

― Mad Piratical (The Cursed Return of the Dastardly Thermo Thinwall), Tuesday, 11 October 2016 02:40 (eight years ago)

how exactly did tito 'empty the chamber'?

― mookieproof, Tuesday, 11 October 2016 18:08 (eight years ago)

Next game isn't till Friday so whoever was overworked last night can surely recover.
