****OFFICIAL 2013 MLB POSTSEASON THREAD****

[Buck]

Is there not one of these already? I did a search.

Bucs up 5-1 on Reds in the 7th in their Wild Card game.

Rays @ Indians tomorrow.

[Buck]

2nd Homer for Russel Martin, Pirates up 6-1 Bottom 7.

[Deberg_1990]

Awesome for the Pirates! Hopefully this will be the Royals next year.....

[kcxiv]

Yeah, im pulling for the Pirates. 6-2 in the 8th.

[eDave]

Home run or no?

[Buck]

9th inning, 3 outs away. Up 6-2.

[Buck]

2 outs away.

[Buck]

1 out away.

[Buck]

Pirates win.

[JoeyChuckles]

Jealous.

[tk13]

Good for them. Pirates are a complete unknown for me. I could see the Cardinals sweeping them out of the playoffs, or riding the wave all the way to the World Series.

[Al Bundy]

Good job Pirates. I really want them to beat the Cardinals.

[MotherfuckerJones]

Go pirates! Liked them when I was younger as my NL team if my white sox weren't doing any good. Now it's good to see them winning.

[chefsos]

Hey, bumpity. TB/CLE happening.

Almost an umpiring controversy in the first inning. Swisher foul tip w/ 2 strikes, Molina caught it but 3B ump ruled it hit the ground. To their credit, they huddled up and got it right and rung up Swisher. Fuck him anyway!

[tk13]

Rays strike first. They just don't quit.

[DaKCMan AP]

Delmon Young!

[DJ's left nut]

So fastballs down the chute = bad.

Don't throw any more of those Salazar.

[Pasta Little Brioni]

These one gsme WCs are dumb as fuck IMO

[chefsos]

Someone correct me if I'm wrong: Cincinnati is the first MLB team to enter and exit the postseason without playing a game at home.

[chefsos]

That's a pretty big 2 out, 2 RBI double by Jennings.

[Simply Red]

Rays strike first. They just don't quit.

Love their coach.

[rolltide2014]

Someone correct me if I'm wrong: Cincinnati is the first MLB team to enter and exit the postseason without playing a game at home.

IIRC Baltimore won last year in Texas and the Cardinals won in Atlanta, and then with Pittsburgh winning last night, I think you're probably right

[siberian khatru]

3-6-1 DP to end the inning

[Dartgod]

The best scenario would be for the Indians to have a one run lead going to the 9th and have Chris fucking Perez blow it in spectacular fashion.

I'll take an old fashioned beat down, however.

[chefsos]

What in the wide wide world of sports was Molina doing out there?

[siberian khatru]

Indians hitting like the Royals

[tk13]

Cleveland's going to regret blowing all these scoring chances here in about 2 hours.

[ShowtimeSBMVP]

Batting Stance Guy ‏@BattingStanceG 1m
Astros WhiteSox Twins don't pitch like this.
--Indians

[Pasta Little Brioni]

F'n rays

[NJChiefsFan]

Love their coach.

I do as well.

[Pasta Little Brioni]

Someone step up and knock in a run.

[Dartgod]

While I'd prefer that the Indians die a horrible post-season death, the result will be playoff games in that horrible stadium the Rays play in.

[DJ's left nut]

Hey Nick - try choking up a bit sport.

Jesus man, you don't have to get it all back at once.

EDIT: Sure as the sunrise, low, low, up - Swisher doesn't adjust a bit and gets gassed. That's a terrible AB and you just can't give away opportunities like that in a 1 and done setting.

[siberian khatru]

Indians = FAIL

[Pasta Little Brioni]

Chisenhall! Kelt em in it on D

[kcxiv]

Indians laying a big ass egg lol.

[Pasta Little Brioni]

Doyers are next don't worry

[SPchief]

I'm guessing the Indians are wishing that the Twins, Astros, and White Sox were in the playoffs. That way they could actually win.

[DJ's left nut]

It's hard to beat 'em up too badly, afterall they can only beat who they play. But their record against winning teams was awful. The Tribe made the playoffs by beating up on shitty teams. When you watch guys like Swisher give away an AB like that, you definitely understand why they struggled against quality ballclubs.

Put them in the East or the West and they probably win 80 games. The Royals, OTOH, probably don't drop off that much in a harder division because the style of ball they play is pretty equally effective against good or bad teams - pitching and defense will play against anyone.

[Dartgod]

I hate that fucking drum.

[Sure-Oz]

Shut them out TB...eff the indians

[Pasta Little Brioni]

Eh indian fans at least deserve a winner. Rays don't give a fuck.

[Deberg_1990]

Indians = FAIL

Complete frauds

[SPchief]

Swing the bat you pussy

[Sure-Oz]

Complete frauds

Exactly...fucking losers ate up shitty teams

[DJ's left nut]

Eh indian fans at least deserve a winner. Rays don't give a fuck.


I rooted for the Phillies in the World Series a few years back for just that very reason.

I felt dirty for months afterwards.

But the good news is that you can console yourself with the fact that Indians fans don't give a fuck either. Indians players have essentially spent the season begging people to get out there and watch a game or two.

And unlike TB, who plays in a dump, The Jake is a damn nice stadium.

[Pasta Little Brioni]

Fuck!

[Pasta Little Brioni]

So many sad faces and tears!

[Dartgod]

That'll shut them up.

[chefsos]

Ew. Bukkake.

[SPchief]

Suck it tribe, you'll be back in 4th place next year.

[tk13]

Another Cleveland playoff success.

[DJ's left nut]

I'm glad to see the least deserving team in the post-season pack it in.

It's hard to blame too much success over 162 games on the schedule, but it sure seemed like these guys were playing the White Sox, Twins and Astros every single night.

Begone, mediocre ballclub. I like me some Francona, but the rest of you fellas were way out of your depth here.

Blatantly stolen off of twitter but in their "magical month run to the postseason" Since August 27th, they went 16-1 against teams under .500 and 5-10 against teams with a winning record.

[kcxiv]

Doyers are next don't worry

Possibly but there is more then one game to score a damn run. Good luck getting to Kershaw though.

[kcxiv]

0-0 after 1

[Simply Red]

Good job Medlin.

[kcxiv]

Dodgers up 2-0 going into the bottom of the 2nd.

[Simply Red]

Gattis will redeem - please remember this post.

[kcxiv]

haha, Braves just fucking themselves. that double play was LOL

[kcxiv]

Gattis will redeem - please remember this post.
Well he has to come up huge, you jinxed him. lol

[Simply Red]

Can't even beat the Dodgers - wow.

[kcxiv]

YESSSSSSSSSS A-GONE with a 2 run shot 4-0 Dodgers!

[Simply Red]

Well he has to come up huge, you jinxed him. lol

no i didn't idiot - he hit a single.

[kcxiv]

no i didn't idiot - he hit a single.
lol, guess you forgot that baserunning error too huh idiot?

lol

[kcxiv]

Dodgers take game 1 6-1.

Kershaw struggled bad with his control all game long, but only gave up 1 run on 3 hits went 7.

Tomorrow's game at 3pm pst.

[chiefsfan987]

so far this postseason blows. Not a single game has even been competitive yet.

[Frazod]

Dusty whacked as Reds' manager.

I would post a link, but I don't give a shit.

[MIAdragon]

[siberian khatru]

Matt Moore got lit up. Somebody keep sharp objects away from Duncan Idaho today.

[kcxiv]

Hanley with the RBI double dodgers up 1-0

[tk13]

Looked like the Braves were about to choke one away again on a defensive blunder, but they got a huge double play. Still lead 2-1. Dodgers have an inning to get something or have to beat Kimbrel in the 9th.

[Buck]

Dodgers caught stealing down by 1 in the 9th w/ 1 out (now 2 w/ the CS).

[Buck]

So Kimbrel walks the next guy. Dodgers would have had that guy on 2nd anyways. Shit luck.

[Buck]

Doyers lose

[tk13]

Braves bounce back and win. Both NL series tied at 1.

[tk13]

And just like that Miguel Cabrera gives Detroit a 1-0 lead over the Oakland Moneyballs with an RBI single. Bartolo Colon getting hit around.

[Pepe Silvia]

This will be another first round exit for Oakland, its what they do.

[Pasta Little Brioni]

And just like that Miguel Cabrera gives Detroit a 1-0 lead over the Oakland Moneyballs with an RBI single. Bartolo Colon getting hit around.

Awful movie

[chefsos]

Two of the cheesiest doubles you'll ever see net Boston a run. 3-1 over TB in the 3rd.

[MIAdragon]

I'd like to say, too, that I still love Koji. I think I speak for most O's fans as well. He's just been electric for your guys.

[tk13]

Evan Longoria is such a beast. Looked like the Red Sox were about to run over Tampa and finish them off, but Longoria hit a 3 run HR to tie it.

[Al Bundy]

Grant Balfour ‏@GrantBalfour 1h

Love all the big talk coming from #Tigers fans. Bring it on. I'd be mad too if my squad was headed towards an extended vacation. #OAKtober

[SPchief]

Rays give up the tying run by not throwing home with 1 out

[SPchief]

Heh, and then they double switched into the catcher spot while giving up the DH earlier in the game hits a walkoff

[tk13]

Meanwhile Carl Crawford hits his 2nd homer of the night for the Dodgers.

[Simply Red]

no longer care. Have fun. Go eat at shitty In/Out tonight in celebration. This is the same Braves. Injuries killed our juice the last two months, or things woulda been different.

[kcxiv]

2-0 is not enough, we need a few more runs to be safe.

Crawford had 9 homers all season 3 in the last 2 games lol

i could go for animal style right now.... i think i might.

[tk13]

Give the Braves credit, they've fought back. Took a couple defensive lapses, but it's tied 2-2.

[kcxiv]

2 unearned runs. it happens

[tk13]

Braves have to be pretty happy. Freddy Garcia of all people held his own... and they got Kershaw out of the game. Battle of the bullpens in a tie game.

[tk13]

LMAO And just as I post that Elliot Johnson hits a triple. Braves threatening. Puig misplayed it though.

[tk13]

RBI single. Braves lead! Elliot Johnson, offensive juggernaut. Nice move Dayton!

['Hamas' Jenkins]

....

As good as he is, he's just reckless enough to do something stupid that will cost the Dodgers a playoff game they can ill afford to lose. He'll miss a cutoff man, get gunned down trying to steal, or get thrown out. Dude's got too much Milton Bradley in him.

[O.city]

Puig fucked that all up

['Hamas' Jenkins]

Walking the winning run on base to face Adrian Gonzalez. This is really fucking smart.

[tk13]

Well that was a scary move. Worked out. Onto the 8th. One more inning and they can get it to Kimbrel.

['Hamas' Jenkins]

Dude missed a three-run bomb by about a quarter of an inch.

[tk13]

Puig leads off the 8th with a double. Here we go.

[tk13]

And Uribe hits a bomb. Wow. 4-3 Dodgers.

[tk13]

And the funny thing is they tried to have Uribe bunt on the first two strikes. Funny how that works.

[O.city]

When someone wants to bunt, gladly throw them a meatball and take the out

['Hamas' Jenkins]

I'd fire Gonzalez the moment he left his PC for that. How do you not bring in Kimbrel there?

[O.city]

That was just a terrible managerial mess.

Take the out, bring in kimbrel for 2 k's. Surely to Christ he can get Schumacher and Ellis to k

['Hamas' Jenkins]

He only needed one K.

['Hamas' Jenkins]

A truly horrifically managed game.

[Pepe Silvia]

I'd fire Gonzalez the moment he left his PC for that. How do you not bring in Kimbrel there?

That was bad.

[Simply Red]

that was ugly - didn't even show up that series.

[tk13]

Atlanta sports teams might have just had the worst single day in recent memory. That almost needs to be a thread topic. I'm not sure I can come up with a worse one offhand. Football team makes a 13 point comeback on MNF, then blow it in the final minute and now their entire season is in question. Then their baseball team comes back from a 2-0 deficit to blow it in gut punch fashion, eliminating them from the playoffs.

[kcxiv]

As A Dodgers fan, what makes this even better is WIlson with the win and Uribe with the go ahead home run. lol Giants! lol

[L.A. Chieffan]

URIBE DOESN'T BUNT

[Frazod]

I'd fire Gonzalez the moment he left his PC for that. How do you not bring in Kimbrel there?

It's like Matheny was whispering in his ear.

Oh well. No matter how things shake out, at least I won't have to worry about my team playing the wife's team next week. I don't tend to get laid much when that happens. :D

[kcxiv]

Bill Shaikin ‏@BillShaikin 7m
Fredi Gonzalez on not using Kimbrel to start 8th inning: "6 outs was something that we weren't even talking about in the dugout." #Braves

when you have the best closer in the game, you dont even think about him going 6? how many times did Rivera do it? Fire the dude.

[L.A. Chieffan]

URIBE URIBE URIBE URIBE URIBE URIBE URIBE URIBE URIBE URIBE URIBE URIBE URIBE URIBE URIBE URIBE URIBE URIBE URIBE URIBE URIBE URIBE URIBE URIBE URIBE URIBE URIBE URIBE URIBE URIBE URIBE URIBE URIBE URIBE URIBE URIBE URIBE URIBE URIBE URIBE URIBE URIBE URIBE URIBE URIBE URIBE URIBE URIBE URIBE URIBE URIBE URIBE URIBE URIBE URIBE URIBE URIBE URIBE URIBE URIBE URIBE URIBE URIBE URIBE URIBE URIBE URIBE URIBE URIBE URIBE URIBE URIBE URIBE URIBE URIBE URIBE URIBE URIBE URIBE URIBE URIBE URIBE URIBE URIBE URIBE URIBE URIBE URIBE URIBE URIBE URIBE URIBE URIBE URIBE URIBE URIBE URIBE URIBE URIBE URIBE URIBE URIBE URIBE URIBE URIBE URIBE URIBE URIBE URIBE URIBE URIBE URIBE URIBE URIBE URIBE URIBE URIBE URIBE URIBE URIBE URIBE URIBE URIBE URIBE URIBE URIBE URIBE URIBE URIBE URIBE URIBE URIBE URIBE URIBE URIBE URIBE URIBE URIBE URIBE URIBE URIBE URIBE URIBE URIBE URIBE URIBE URIBE URIBE URIBE URIBE URIBE URIBE URIBE URIBE URIBE URIBE URIBE URIBE URIBE URIBE URIBE URIBE URIBE URIBE URIBE URIBE URIBE URIBE URIBE URIBE URIBE URIBE URIBE URIBE URIBE URIBE URIBE URIBE URIBE URIBE URIBE URIBE URIBE URIBE URIBE URIBE URIBE URIBE URIBE URIBE URIBE URIBE URIBE URIBE URIBE URIBE URIBE URIBE URIBE URIBE URIBE URIBE URIBE URIBE URIBE URIBE URIBE URIBE URIBE URIBE URIBE URIBE URIBE URIBE URIBE URIBE URIBE URIBE URIBE URIBE URIBE URIBE URIBE URIBE URIBE URIBE URIBE URIBE URIBE URIBE URIBE URIBE URIBE URIBE URIBE URIBE URIBE URIBE URIBE URIBE URIBE URIBE URIBE URIBE URIBE URIBE URIBE URIBE URIBE URIBE URIBE URIBE URIBE URIBE URIBE URIBE URIBE URIBE URIBE URIBE URIBE URIBE URIBE URIBE URIBE URIBE URIBE URIBE URIBE URIBE URIBE URIBE URIBE URIBE URIBE URIBE URIBE URIBE URIBE URIBE URIBE URIBE URIBE URIBE URIBE URIBE URIBE URIBE URIBE URIBE URIBE URIBE URIBE URIBE URIBE URIBE URIBE URIBE URIBE URIBE URIBE URIBE URIBE URIBE URIBE URIBE URIBE URIBE URIBE URIBE URIBE URIBE URIBE URIBE URIBE URIBE URIBE

[L.A. Chieffan]

Uribe

[tk13]

Well starting the inning with Carpenter wasn't too crazy. He was solid this year, they had the best bullpen in baseball. That was the Braves' biggest strength.

Once he gave up the double to Puig though, hard not to go to Kimbrel to shut it down.

[kcxiv]

lol, always in troll mode haha

[kcxiv]

I think the point was, he said he didnt even think about it. I dont see why he wasnt in in the 8th though especially when there was a day rest between games and he had only pitched in 1 of the 3 previous games and that was game 2.

[Setsuna]

....

Retarded. He hit .470 in the NLDS. Eat a dick.

[BIG_DADDY]

Watching Uribe and Wilson jumping around and hugging each other in Dodgers blue is enough to make anyone :Lin:

['Hamas' Jenkins]

Retarded. He hit .470 in the NLDS. Eat a dick.

And if Fredi Gonzalez had a brain, you're likely going to Atlanta to face Minor in an elimination game because he completely botched that Johnson double, plus he got completely hosed trying to steal earlier in the game.

I didn't say he's a bad player, I said he's reckless enough to cost you a game you can ill afford to lose. He did that yesterday, but Gonzalez bailed you out.

[L.A. Chieffan]

There was only one out when Johnson hit that triple. Even if Puig plays it perfectly he scores later in the inning. Let's not forget all the plays Puig DOES make that stops a runner on first from trying to stretch a single or throws out runners with his elite arm. The amazing plays he makes far outweighs the bad.

And if you want to play the manager is an idiot game you could say Mattingly bailed out the braves by putting in Belisario in the first place.

[kcxiv]

Yeah he would have scored on the Costanza hit even if he held him to a double. Crawford or skip doesn't have the arm to make it close. Kemp or Either then maybe.

[tk13]

Oakland and Detroit turning into a good one. Oakland actually took a lead off Scherzer who came in for the 7th... then Detroit matches with a HR.

[Dartgod]

I think the A's got hosed on that HR. If the fan doesn't interfere, I think Reddick catches that ball. But the umps got it right. Not enough evidence to overturn it.

[tk13]

Tigers take the lead. Boo. A's don't want to blow this and face Verlander in Game 5.

[Pepe Silvia]

Huge hit by Cespedes. Even bigger boot by the RF.

[tk13]

A's are going to have the bases loaded with no outs. They've knocked Scherzer around.

[C3HIEF3S]

A's getting something brewing.
Bases loaded 0 outs now.

[O.city]

Why stay with scherzer

[C3HIEF3S]

Why stay with scherzer

Good question, he hasn't looked comfortable since he came in.

[Pepe Silvia]

Leyland is senile.

[Pepe Silvia]

Reddick why would you swing at that?

[Frazod]

Reddick why would you swing at that?

Yeah, that was awful.

[tk13]

Swung at ball 4.

[Pepe Silvia]

Yeah, that was awful.

I can understand being fooled by a pitch that starts in the zone but that pitch was going nowhere but in.

[Frazod]

Swung at ball 4.

It was more like Ball 7.

[C3HIEF3S]

2 down

[Pepe Silvia]

Shit themselves.

[Frazod]

Damn, if only that had dropped in.

AND WHY AM I ROOTING FOR OAKLAND???? :banghead:

[Pepe Silvia]

I wouldn't want to be Callaspo right now.

[C3HIEF3S]

Unbelievable

[Frazod]

DAMMIT CARL

:cuss:

[tk13]

Well that was terrible. Bases loaded no outs, get nothing.

[Frazod]

Anybody else got that "Loser Dad" song from Moneyball stuck in their head right now? LMAO

[Pepe Silvia]

Anybody else got that "Loser Dad" song from Moneyball stuck in their head right now? LMAO

Exactly what I was thinking. ROFL

[Pepe Silvia]

I also kept thinking about that little instrumental ditty they played throughout the movie.

[thebrad84]

That's a painful loss for the A's. Brad Pitt has got to be upset with that crushing defeat..

[KC_Connection]

A's relievers choked there. Now they get Verlander for the 2nd consecutive year in Game 5.

Billy Beane may just be cursed.

[lewdog]

Good game going in Tampa.

2-1 Sox in the bottom of the 8th.

TBS.

[lewdog]

Rays strand a runner in the 8th.

Sox with good relief pitching tonight.

[tk13]

About to fall apart for Tampa. Rodney imploded... bases loaded in the 8th.

[lewdog]

About to fall apart for Tampa. Rodney imploded... bases loaded in the 8th.

Rodney's a douche. Probably game over for Tampa.

[tk13]

Sac fly scores a run... 3-1 Boston. Tampa goes to their last reliever in the bullpen.

[tk13]

Miguel Cabrera just unloaded on the A's. Tigers strike first in game 5, 2-0. Of course.

[KC_Connection]

Verlander may actually throw a no-hitter tonight the way everything is working. Billy Beane's A's are just cursed in the playoffs.

[KC_Connection]

Perfect through 5. Something historic tonight? He certainly has the stuff to do it.

[kcxiv]

A's arent going to win this. I have alot of cool friends that are A's fans, and this has to be killing them. 2 years in a row Detroit just took them down. Win 1 of 2 games to move on and nope. Verlander is on it.

Oakland A's are kinda like the Chiefs in the 90's lol Solid team, but cant get over the hump.

[MotherfuckerJones]

Money ball is shitty ball in the playoffs.

[tk13]

What's amazing is if they lose, they'll have lost 6 of the 7 ALDS they've been in under Beane. All 6 losses would be 3-2. They'll be 0-6 in game 5's.

[kcxiv]

Yep, thats brutal, 2 outs in the bottom of 9. Its basically a wrap.

Beane may make regular season fun, but its a dagger for the post season. This is brutal

[kcxiv]

Maybe its not a wrap 2 on 2 outs. hmm...

[Pepe Silvia]

you knew it would happen, Oakland never advances, I think they did one time back in '06 but were swept be the Tigers in the ALCS>

[kcxiv]

Over. Poor A's fans. Shitty feeling.

[DJ's left nut]

They live in Oakland. They're probably Raiders fans.

Fuck 'em...

[kcxiv]

Raider fans and A's fans totally different, but yes, some are the same, but not the ones that go to the games. way way way different crowd, night and day different

[KC_Connection]

Raider fans and A's fans totally different, but yes, some are the same, but not the ones that go to the games. way way way different crowd, night and day different
Yep, I feel bad for the A's fans. 6 straight game five losses in the ALDS.

[chefsos]

Yep, I feel bad for the A's fans. 6 straight game five losses in the ALDS.
I sometimes wonder if I'd like to trade places with them. Would you? Or would any number of Royals fans here? I mean, it would be great to be there every year, but not so great to get your heart ripped out every time.

[L.A. Chieffan]

Ban from the Cardinal thread after one post? Weak sauce. The game is tied for crying out loud, knock the sand out ladies

[L.A. Chieffan]

Cardinals are supposed to be this class organization that plays the right way and then they go out and nail the Dodgers best player in his first PA. Nice

[L.A. Chieffan]

Anheuser-Busch makes horrible beer

[L.A. Chieffan]

Haha Hamas what was that shit about Puig! ?

STFU

[kcxiv]

Trolling at its finest lol

[L.A. Chieffan]

What a great outfielder Jay is, WAY better than PUIG

[L.A. Chieffan]

Didn't even tag him. This umpire is a joke.

[ShowtimeSBMVP]

We need replay the tag was never made at plate.

[Al Bundy]

No tag on the play... umps.

[L.A. Chieffan]

Cardinal fans will no doubt make the case that Yadier is the greatest catcher of all time and does not make mistakes regardless of instant replay.

[L.A. Chieffan]

McGwire visited his old locker before the game to pick up his roids he forgot

[L.A. Chieffan]

It's good to know mid west teams can buy off umpire crews, its not just a major market thing

[L.A. Chieffan]

It's completely obvious now that Kelly intentionally hit Ramirez in the beginning of the game since they're such pussies pitching to him the entire game.

Stay classy

[KC_Connection]

Dodgers are going to lose this game without Kenley Jansen having pitched an inning. Donnie Baseball, everyone.

[tk13]

Gotta bring in Jansen here.

[KC_Connection]

Finally. Only took him five innings pitched and two baserunners on to get him in.

[KC_Connection]

I sometimes wonder if I'd like to trade places with them. Would you? Or would any number of Royals fans here? I mean, it would be great to be there every year, but not so great to get your heart ripped out every time.
Without any assurance that we would ever end with the ultimate goal, probably not. Crushing playoff losses are the worst in any sport. There's something to be said about the numbness of perpetual losing.

['Hamas' Jenkins]

https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-XmB4gp3Wxg0/TqbCUNfEwcI/AAAAAAAAA-A/kHL68XSOWZk/s350/carp%252520napoli.gif

[tk13]

That didn't work. Beltran is a monster in the playoffs.

[KC_Connection]

And that's why you use Jansen to start an inning, not with two baserunners on where all it takes is a hit to win.

Beltran is so damn clutch. HOF in my books.

[Al Bundy]

Beltran is the only Cardinals player I respect. Hell of a player, and the Royals were really fucking stupid for signing a broken down just off 'Roids Sweeney.

[Pasta Little Brioni]

Boy Queeffan got awfully quiet ROFL

I love how Chiefs fans call other Chiefs fans QUEEF fans.

You know what people don't talk about in public anymore? Pussy farts.

[L.A. Chieffan]

Nice work cardinals, your dirty bush league tactics carried over to today. Hanley is a scratch. Stay classy

I don't think Kelly meant to hit him. He had control issues in the inning. He threw a wild pitch to the very next batter to put two men in scoring position. Thats with Molina back there. Your fishing in the wrong ocean pal.

Don't pet the trolls.

[oldandslow]

Didn't even tag him. This umpire is a joke.

You really are an idiot.

1) Every umpire on the planet would have called him out on a play like that...

and 2) He did tag him...glove is on the forearm.

[chefsos]

Lots of offense today.

DET/BOS, 0-0 in the 5th. Jhohnhnhyh Phehrhahlthah got caught off 2B on a grounder to first with no one out.

Idiot.

Then the Tigers, of course, got a couple guys on after that. Coulda used that baserunner and that out, dontcha think?

Still no score, mid 5th.

Idiot.

[chefsos]

Oh, holy shit, Boston doesn't even have a hit through 5. Ten punchouts.

I don't care if I'm jinxing Sanchez; he ain't my guy.

[tk13]

Still a no hitter... but Sanchez has walked the bases loaded with 2 outs. At 111 pitches. Red Sox can do some damage now. Tough call here.

[stonedstooge]

Sanchez walks the bases full with 2 outs

[tk13]

And he gets a huge strikeout. No hitter through 6, 12 K, 116 pitches.

[chefsos]

Can't see any way he goes nine. Does he start the 7th though? He looked pretty shaky there.

[tk13]

Sanchez done to start the 7th. Apparently it's the latest a pitcher has ever been taken out in a postseason no-hitter.

[chefsos]

Leyland keeps running new arms out there, and the Red Sox keep striking out. 16 of 'em with 2 out in the 8th.

[Buck]

Tigers spinning a gem.

[tk13]

Through 8... Tigers taking a combined no hitter into the 9th.

[MIAdragon]

What an abortion

[chefsos]

I can just see Boston getting a combination of walks/errors/groundouts and winning this damn thing without benefit of a hit.

[chefsos]

I can just see Boston getting a combination of walks/errors/groundouts and winning this damn thing without benefit of a hit.Well, not if Detroit pushes a couple across now.

[tk13]

Drew saves the day with an over the shoulder catch. Still 1-0 bottom of the 9th.

[Buck]

Here we go.

[Buck]

Only 1 postseason no-hitter ever broken up in the 9th.

That means a no-no broken up in the 9th in the playoffs is more rare than a playoff no-hitter.

[SPchief]

Just looking at em

[siberian khatru]

Former ESPN anchor Karie Ross sitting next to her husband Dave Dombrowski

[Buck]

Nava single with 1 out in the 9th. No-no gone. Tying run on first.

[siberian khatru]

Well, ****

[MIAdragon]

Not today fucks

[Buck]

Stephen Drew chance to be this game's hero.

[MIAdragon]

Stephen Drew chance to be this game's hero.

Yes but does he even care?

[SPchief]

Berry's in Benoit's head

[Buck]

Yes but does he even care?

Wow I thought he did it.

[Buck]

Tying run at 2nd w/ 2 outs

[siberian khatru]

Berry with this Dave Roberts moment

[SPchief]

twsd

[Buck]

What time did this game start? Seems like it's been on forever for a 1-0 game.

Sox down to last strike.

Edit: First pitch was over 4 hours ago.

[MIAdragon]

Can the kid get it done?

[SPchief]

Why wouldn't you steal 3rd here?

[Buck]

Full count.

Drama.

[Buck]

Why wouldn't you steal 3rd here?

Is this a troll?

[Buck]

Tigers win.

[siberian khatru]

Boy that ball was up there forever

[MIAdragon]

Well shit, it's only one.

[Frazod]

Tigers win.

:thumb:

[tk13]

Apparently the first time in LCS history there were two 1-0 games on the same day.

[2112]

Tigers beat the Taliban 1-0 AMERICA REJOICE!

[chefsos]

Pedroia's a completely hateable gnome, but that play he just made at 2B (actually short RF to be accurate) was fucking ridiculous.

[tk13]

In 12 innings of the ALCS now... the Tigers have thrown 12 IP with 1 H and 24 K.

[tk13]

Scherzer with a no hitter through 5 with 9 K's. 76 pitches.

[chefsos]

<strike>Verlander</strike>
<strike>Sanchez</strike>
Scherzer with a no hitter through 5Q


I know we've seen this before...

[tk13]

Tigers blowing it open. HR, double, double, HR. 5-0 Detroit.

[chefsos]

I'm guessing the Sawx can now look forward to facing Verlander when this goes to Detroit. That's probably not fair.

[Frazod]

Tigers blowing it open. HR, double, double, HR. 5-0 Detroit.

Good. Fuck both big market giant payroll coastal teams in the ass with a rusty broken AIDS-infested flame thrower.

[tk13]

Boston breaks up the no hitter and then actually scores a run. So much for that.

[tk13]

Ortiz just hit a grand slam. And about killed Torii Hunter doing it. Tie game. Amazing.
