I don't know if the term 'switched on' is the right term or the right way to describe, but I am all on for [tonight].
Bot:
They made a mistake in waking a sleeping giant over here in this clubhouse ... You just don't do those kinds of things. You wake a sleeping giant? There's gonna be some consequences and repercussions, that's for sure.

OMG, we got a DP! What a break that Lofton or their 3b coach screwed up. Lugo, you are one lucky man that he did not score.

thatdietcokegirl said...

shit.

this is intense y'all!!


(tho not nearly as intense as 04. i don't think??)

Lord Lynch said...

The Loudest Roar Yet.

This is not fun. Seriously.

New Zealand intercourse left.

Ron said...

oh, and Sveumed!!!

andy said...

That is fucking magic thats what that is

johngoldfine said...

sheesh

Lord Lynch said...

Betancourt in.

nick said...

I just came up to say...Fuckin' Huge! I'm biting my nails, but what a game! still a lead and the bot for the long run....

SoSock said...

er, I think I just broke several things, woke up the wife, scared the dog, and I'm not sure, but I believe I hear a siren......oops

Benjamin said...

Betancourt in.

Sir Jahmez said...

Maybe the Spiders' third base coach is Dave Roberts?

Rob said...

That was the most tense inning of the ballgame right there. But the way it ended!!! That can really turn the tide right here!

Wow.

s1c said...

New Zealand intercourse left

am sorry, but the only thing that comes up is sheep.

Unknown said...

unbelievable..........get's get a couple here

thatdietcokegirl said...

the guy on the radio loves being like 'they'll be talking about ________ for a long long time'


omg. RUNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNS!!!! PLZ!!!!!!!!!!!

Amy said...

Time for my dumb question of the night---what is with the references to iced tea, Allan?

OK, we really need to score some runs so that we can all post freely for the next six outs.

Sir Jahmez said...

Time to knock that look out of their eyes.

laura k said...

sheep???? oh shit.

kiwis rule.

allan said...

Lord Lynch said...

l-girl.

Their kiwi accent makes sex sound like six

tim said...

Well, I'm here! Just in time. Had spinach dip with dinner and WHAT THE FUCK LUGO THERE

thank god that their 3B coach was Sveum for that play.

and WHY ONLY PAPELBON?

SoSock said...

Anybody need a 3rd base coach? I think I know of one that will be available :)

thatdietcokegirl said...

so will it be beckett or paps for the 8th?

laura k said...

nz = xena = YEAH!!!!

(gabrielle = drool)

ok back to baseball

amy, i'll tell you the ice tea reference later. it's a long story.

nick said...

one more thing before I go back. I can't wait, if for nothing else, so I don't have to hear how the Rockies can't lose when they won 21 of 22. A great record..but fuck, they did lose--what's this nonsensical bullshit?

Anyhow. fuck yeah!

later.

allan said...

ICED TEA!

allan said...

Lord Lynch said...

Two little guys get the big runs here.

SoSock said...

Dear RS Nation
I am SO glad I didn't F* things up by opening the wine bottle tonight without a double digit lead.
Please note I finished the bottle in the 6th, and refused to open another. When we get 7 more I will resume drinking profusely!
Sosock

Not bad for a former Yankees fan, eh? ;)

Lord Lynch said...

I can't believe it. I missed it.

Damn my stomach.

Amy said...

Ben, my cat has had that misfortune during games. My dog is safely on the floor, since the last time I clapped loudly in a game, she thought I was telling her to get off the bed.

(Obviously I am more relaxed, talking about the pets.)

Anonymous said...

Fuck it guys and gals; I tried to sleep but it wouldn't happen...the memory of Dustin's bomb will keep me awake all day.

Dustin Pedroia...doing it for little guys everywhere!

Smith: "You hear that, Mr. Anderson?"

(train getting louder

Smith: "That is the sound of inevitability"

SIX outs to GO!!!

Alright, going back into the bar now...

Amy said...

I want another DP. Is that asking for too much?

laura k said...

jeemer on a short leash, then bot, i think.

ofer, nice quote!!!

SIX OUTS AWAY and we are NOT batting in the bottom of the 9th

s1c said...

Bot, I want the bot!!!!!
I want the bot

WE GOT THE BOT

laura k said...

and that's your short leash right there, here's playoff tito

THANKS JEEMER WE LOVE YOU

thatdietcokegirl said...

ok this was kinda lame. jeemer shouldn't have even started this. and after the leadoff hit, yank him.

SoSock said...

Snuffer! - NOW IS YOUR TIME!

Colin said...

Guess that answers that question.

thatdietcokegirl said...

or ya know, i could just completely agree with l-girl and red sock's jubilant irreverence and confidence.

yah, i'll do that ;D!

Joe Grav said...

WHAT THE F*** TITO..
THE WHOLE POSTSEASON YOUVE BEEN SO PROACTIVE AND NOW THIS?!?!$@?!#!#?

you're willing to go to Pap for 6, so why spot them baserunners first? STUPID

Anonymous said...

Goddamn...I log back into this site and it gets tricky again!

Amy said...

Thanks for the link, Allan. I will have to watch the video later. The Sox need me to focus on the game now. Iced tea story will have to wait, I guess.

nixon33 said...

interesting...6 out save.

mook said...

I think they should have Beckett warming right here....juuuuust in case.

Colin said...

Getting tense again. I hate how Fox always mentions the "tying run." Come on Bot, let's do this. Keep the faith.

s1c said...

6!!!
Bot in for six, not that it matters because in the bottom of the eigth I am smelling, schadenfrude!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


"http://www.darkharbor.com/snoopydance">Happy, happy, happy dance

Amy said...

How about a TRIPLE play?

allan said...

gregg zaun on buffyvision says he wants hafner to dong, he wants to do a big dance.

FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK YOU ZAUN

laura k said...

fox is just trying to overdramatize it. don't fall for it.

we are six outs away from jigs and champagne.

s1c said...

Ok, this margaritta is for JN!!!

Bot!!!!

tim said...

gregg zaun on buffyvision says he wants hafner to dong, he wants to do a big dance.

And why are you still watching buffyvision? It's on FOX...

Lord Lynch said...

Buck should eff off to football.

Benjamin said...

K

laura k said...

tim, we have fox on buffyvision. in between innings, buffy and the rodent gregg zaun appear with "analysis"

allan said...

thatdietcokegirl said...

PRONK

allan said...

gameday: bot to hafner: 98-99-99

laura k said...

we just scared the dog!

SoSock said...

"Heat against Heat"

I repeat - WTF

How about Heat against someone who's struck out 100 times in this series!

tim said...

Yeah, I'm aware of that...but I choose to listen to mindless advertising as opposed to that shit.

Amy said...

WTF? Why no DP? SHIT THAT.

Lord Lynch said...

WTF. He who hesitates is lost.

Bad golf shot left.

Ron said...

That's ok guys, got the out.

mook said...

Dammit.

s1c said...

Left from lord lynch

Ok, I am now assuming this is from the snagglepuss cartoons as in exit stage left!!!

allan said...

smart play to hold it, no throwing errors needed.

4 outs to go

SoSock said...

okrag - you're going DOWN! NOW!

Benjamin said...

sosock: I seriously heard that as "beef against beef".

Amy said...

Tim, where have you been?

Lord Lynch said...

Bad Boy Band, s1c, is 5ive.

s1c said...

I sense it

Dear Doctor,

smooth in the field.

Thanx,
RSN
JN

Benjamin said...

Nicely done.

tim said...

LBJ TY!!!!!!!

nixon33 said...

COCO WHO??????!!!!!!!!
YEAH!

mook said...

Yes!!!

That was close tho...

allan said...

ONE INNING TO GO -- 3 OUTS

Amy said...

LBJ gloved that one well! THREE MORE TO GO! Pap looks good, as usual.

Benjamin said...

Red rain indeed.

8 efficient pitches.

Anonymous said...

Now for all you kids at home; that is how to shit on the opposition.

s1c said...

ok, I admit it, I lost an out there somewhere!!!!!!

Ish-where are you, we need the uncle joe updates!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Colin said...

If you listen closely, when Bot struck out Hafner, about 15 female Red Sox fans were immaculately conceived.

Lord Lynch said...

Ultra Nate Record remains.

And I love the song Red Rain...

SoSock said...

INNING OVER!
Warm up the bus!
The fat lady is singing!
All those other cliches!

And Dice is about to get a Game 7 WIN!

Gambrinus said...

i think i've had like 20 heart attacks during this game. i should probably seek medical attention...right after it's over.

Colin said...

Bloody brilliant!

s1c said...

940 comments as I type this and in my blotto haze that is an accomplishment not to be ignored, I sense it, I sense it, it is forever ingrained, another fuck yeah comeback!!!!!!

gawd I love this team!!!!!

Benjamin said...

.164 WPA performance for Paps that inning.

Lord Lynch said...

I shit it when I heard the silence from the crowd when it hit the bat.....

What am I babbling on about.

I want insurance.

tim said...

Tim, where have you been?

Exam yesterday afternoon - went back home for the night and came back up to school this evening for a meeting, dinner @ sports bar/eatery and am now back.

Cheap burgers = good.
Showing up at 7:30 and ordering beer and appetizers until the game started = bad. (we wanted our burgers during the game!)

All in all a good time (hopefully) - no blotto tonight though, need to do a powerpoint presentation up for class after this.

allan said...

bot - 3 outs, 8 pitches, tranquilo

Amy said...

Are we ready to play in the SNOW???

Ron said...

If you listen closely, when Bot struck out Hafner, about 15 female Red Sox fans were immaculately conceived.

I have no idea what this means, but I'm laughing my ass off.

andy said...

my nipples are starting to bleed this is so intense

SoSock said...

phren - might have been...
That 1st bottle is probably cloging my ear channels

laura k said...

THREE OUTS TO GO

s1c said...

now for all you kids at home; that is how to shit on the opposition.

LOL,LOL!!!!!!!

am sorry, but I am a happy drunk and the last delivery of the night has been accepted!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

laura k said...

i wouldn't mind a little INsurance here

thatdietcokegirl said...

I want insurance.

Colin said...

Chief - it means impregnated via non-intercourse means, like how Mary had Jesus.

tim said...

Andy said...

my nipples are starting to bleed this is so intense

Sun Oct 21, 11:23:00 PM


ROFLMAO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAA

you had to see the Fun Run episode of the office to appreciate this.

Amy said...

Tim, I expect that many of my students (as well as their prof) will be a bit bleary eyed tomorrow.

laura k said...

i should say a little MORE insurance

Ron said...

Shut the fuck up McMoron.

Joe Buck covering for the (other) idiot.

allan said...

bot - seriously intense stare on the bench. dam!!!

nixon33 said...

PAP LOOKING LIKE A PSYCHO ON THE BENCH

s1c said...

my nipples are starting to bleed this is so intense

you do not, i repeat do not want me to go there!!!!

laura k said...

mcmoron has to rag on manny under the guise of praising him

stfu tim mcc

Benjamin said...

Colin: I may be Jewish, but I know it's Mary who was supposed to have been immaculately conceived, not Jesus.

SoSock said...

insurance = Bot

But a couple more WOULD be nice!

David said...

doctor!

allan said...

dr. doubles, i presume!!!!!!

Benjamin said...

Tee hee hee

nixon33 said...

THE DOCTAH!

tim said...

THE DOCTOR WILL SEE PATIENTS NOW!

Amy said...

Extra bases! Doctor Doubles! Post season medicine.

laura k said...

phrenile, so far i've met mostly jews who know that (like me). but i learned it in art history.

s1c said...

doctor oh my gawd the doctor has delievered!!!

Colin said...

Yeah I know I screwed that one up. I was hoping people still caught my drift :(

Figured I'd catch some of the game. Beats writing stories about tobacco lawsuits for tomorrow's deadline.

tim said...

Tim, I expect that many of my students (as well as their prof) will be a bit bleary eyed tomorrow.

There's not a Leaf game tonight so probably won't happen in this country :P

Amy said...

Just how many times are they going to talk about the damn Lofton base running gaffe? Will he be Cleveland's Buckner?

mook said...

do we see coco in the field in the top of the ninth?

Ron said...

Chief - it means impregnated via non-intercourse means, like how Mary had Jesus.

I know what it means, just know what you mean. Either way, it was really funny.

Anonymous said...

Man it'll be terrible if Lowell goes after this season. Come on, one more run and then get out...I need some sleep!

SoSock said...

"If you're just joining us..."

you might not be as sick of listening to us belabor the same plays as those who are real fans

Lord Lynch said...

Just spoke to my brother, who is crazy like me and staying up. And he has three young kids!

He reckons his swearing is getting worse.

s1c said...

do we see coco in the field in the top of the ninth?

You betcha brother, you betcha!!!!!!

Benjamin said...

Just how many times are they going to talk about the damn Lofton base running gaffe? Will he be Cleveland's Buckner?

No, but their third base coach is Cleveland's Sveum.

laura k said...

dear dj werd

we will love you even more if you give us more insurance here

love

joy nation

Ron said...

Score now : 5-2

Score if Lofton scored: probably 5-3. Enough already.

tim said...

Just how many times are they going to talk about the damn Lofton base running gaffe? Will he be Cleveland's Buckner?

Mayor Buckner eh?

Of course not, theres no such thing as CURSES - fox isnt showing closeups of cleveland players faces talking about the ghosts of indian past.

Benjamin said...

Ask and ye shall receive.

thatdietcokegirl said...

HELL YES!!! 6-2!!

Amy said...

DREW ON FIRE! Here's that extra insurance run you asked for, Laura!
