2009 MLB Playoffs

Re: 2009 MLB Playoffs

Holy crap, I guess that makes two things we can agree on, then.

Papelbon's been way too full of himself for a long time, now. He can get away with pacing forever, and trying to stare down batters when he faces the Clevelands and Baltimores of the world. But NY and Anaheim aren't buying it.

Re: 2009 MLB Playoffs

Red Sox and Yankee fans united over hating the Angels? That's an unholy alliance if I ever saw one. Jon, I know how you feel about potentially hating the Angels more than the Yankees right now. Many times in the last three or four seasons I've experienced a similar sensation vis a vis the Red Sox.

For the record, I was hoping Boston won that series, but as a Yankee fan I couldn't help myself but giggle like a schoolgirl at the 9th inning. Sorry. Papelbon just acted like a dick in the Bronx one too many times.

You can't be serious. Rimbaud is a gay hippy.

FYP.

My only hope for the next series is that Joba beans Napoli in the head.

Re: 2009 MLB Playoffs

Another blown call, and a good argument for 2 blown calls there. Ball appeared to bounce off Utley in the box, then it looked like Helton slid his toe across the base on the throw.

6-5 Philly now.

For the record, I'm a weird bird, he's just weird.

Old is the new weird?

Re: 2009 MLB Playoffs

Really good play by the Rockies catcher on the 1-2-3 DP, I would have stepped on the bat, thrown the ball into right, and broken my ankle.

You're a weird bird. You're completely contradicting yourself now.

For the record, I'm a weird bird, he's just weird.

I'd say my point has been, and continues to, be made for me. Thanks for playing along guys.

I want to hear more about the point, though!

Re: 2009 MLB Playoffs

I guess I haven't been following along closely enough.

Carry on, then...

Re: 2009 MLB Playoffs

Is this just a cool factoid,or is there a deeper point here?

Not being sarcastic. Just curious where you're going with this...

Everyone's taking turns shooting cannonballs in Swansong's complaints. I think that's what is going on here.

Re: 2009 MLB Playoffs

Well...we have 3 outs to get at least 3 runs against Rivera. Any baseball magic left...now would be the time to use it, Metrodome...

Looks like the AL isn't screwing around this year. Let the ANA-NYY series begin.

You can't be serious. Rimbaud is a Twins fan.
