If you are worried about Lester starting -- though at this point, why are you worried about anything -- consider that Colorado is pinning its post-season hopes on a guy who has not pitched in a game since August 10.

«Oldest ‹Older 601 – 800 of 955 Newer› Newest»I love McKielty!
I love no modding either!!!!!!!
Faux News just confirmed A-Rod opted out of his contract. It's because he is "unsure of the composition and ownership" of the Yankees.
Major schadenfreude for this Seattle boy and Mariners fan. RSN allows me to hate the Yankees by proxy, too!
Amy, nice!
suddenly, buck decides the slappy news is more important than the sox winning the series.
FUCK FOX! THE SOX ARE WINNING A WORLD SERIES YOU CUNT BAGS!
i take it back
it does have to be a sweep!!!!
Tim - the snoopy dance song that is the theme music for the charlie brown specials. The one that Schroeder is always playing (probably some beethoven rip off lol).
Shut up about the MFY a-rod. We are six outs away from a sweep!!!
Danndann, no worries. Having the best player in baseball on your team is not the worst thing in the world.
I just don't see it happening I-girl. My worry is not that A-Rod will sign for us, that would be great but rather that he'll miss the playoffs with the Giants etc. and Lowell will be offered huge money by the Yankees.
COULD they SHUT UP about A-Rod? We have the last two innings of the WS here.
See, this is why I hate A-Rod. He couldn't wait until tomorrow to release this news. ASSHOLE. I don't care how good he is.
SHUT UP, Fox!
The Sox are six outs away. Can we please talk about that?
Great limerick, Amy!
Rookies are ruling the day.
Ellsbury, Pedroia, and hey!
Dice-K's pretty great,
and Jeemer's first-rate
It's a DYNASTY, hip-hip hooray!
I wanna send this site to henry's blackberry. that would be awesome...haha
"no one should sign a-rod. that would be funny"
hahahaha

did you hear that people: a death blow to the yankees
ain't that worth a slap?
(not that i'm thinking ken rosenthal is our baseball guru)
thanks god that yexas deal didnt go down.
i love you manny "birthday cake" ramirez
Wow nice DP! Too bad DPs dont win championships suckers!!!!!
thatd be trot, m. yass.
Danndann, my name is L-girl. Just so you know. :)
THanks, Laura and Westcoast. Loved yours, Westcoast. Getting all those names in is a challenge.
to be fair, rosenthal was blowing the red sox in his fox column today - saying that boston is on the cusp of a dynasty.
SHIT!
The bases are empty with 2 out now.
We are SO doomed.
Come on FLO. We could use even more padding. :)
Apologies...its 3:15am gimme a break lol ;-)

Another nice limerick!
Cheer up folks, put the A-Rod news behind you, mute the TV if you must.
Because, it's....
Screw Slappy. I want Lowell on our team. Any day and twice on Sunday.
Danndann, no prob, blogger makes my name look weird in lower case. It happens about once a week. :)

I wish the commentator would STFU about the MFYs!
INEVITABLE!
Bring on the porpoise!

oh gawd not another one letter at a time spelling (lol)!
Last time I said "the porpoise" I naturally followed it with "your highness your highness" and NO ONE SAID ANYTHING.
Not a Blackadder fan among us? Say it ain't so.

At the end of this game, they better not ask Tito about the situation at third base. I will puke in my mouth.
i just think of the monkees porpoise song.
good chune.

It's Fanny-Porpoise

Glad to see I am not the only one who would take Lowell over ARod.
I don't want our team to be like the Yankees, spending millions just to get an older established player who comes in with ego and history that messes with the team's chemistry. Look how we all bitched about the Drew deal and look how long it has taken for him to adjust. ARod would be far worse, given his ego and salary. Save our money to acquire and keep talent like we now have.
OK, the inning is back. Back to the present.
Woo-hoo, Ofer!
Awesome! I give it an Esser.
oh gawd not another one letter at a time spelling (lol)!
did it get in your way????
lmao
i'm coming apart here
champonyay is ready
Let's go MBM!
Oh look, Corpse ass makes his way into a WS game - when his team is LOSING!
If you don't want to hear about A-Rod, STOP TALKING ABOUT HIM, huh???
amy, slappy is younger than the doctor.
Ortiz has been walked, yet again
We are NOT going back to the Fen
Manny is swinging
and Tito is singing
We'll give you some cake when we win

Just had to vent. Done.
going to get a flute glass at the end of this inning.
Papelbon warming.
Put the Champagne on ice now.
Six more outs to go.
Alex Rodriguez
Is golfing this post season.
So STFU.
Good one, sosock.
Last time I said "the porpoise" I naturally followed it with "your highness your highness" and NO ONE SAID ANYTHING.
Not a Blackadder fan among us? Say it ain't so.
I keep wanting to scream "smeg off!" every time Rosensmall starts blathering about the MFYs.
IT'S...
That cracked me up, phrenile!
Another point in the A-Rod thing; el Capitan hates him with a passion.
Might seem a minor point given Tek's professionalism but also do we want to get involved in a big 10 year deal we can't shift?
Smeg off? Red Dwarf?
Blackadder is brilliant. Skip the medieval one, that was a tryout, didn't work. The next four series are some of the funniest comedies ever made. The last one is also heartbreaking - it's anti-war comedy. WWI. Very very funny and very very dark.

Yeah, wrong British comedy. That's what happens when my fingers move faster than my brain.
Manny kinda looks like Lister tho.
Strike zone is fine.
I think I have to agree with the bozos that our strike zone has been very generous tonight.
Tim - RE the happy dance song you can find the sheet music here
Happy dance!!!
westcoast, beauteous!
except that lister is a football fan
Holliday almost whiffed on the Oki-Doki
But perhaps just from a couple of pitches that stuck out in my mind.

Redsock, what is the current record for run differential in a WS?
You folks sure have that haiku thing down. Very cool.
Helton looks like he would blow Bambi's head off at the sound of the word "Venison" ...
Thanks, Amy.
here comes mcc with his pithy sayings.
fox showing us the rockies "we are fucked and i am thinking deeply about my winter" faces
Apparently if we score 7 runs, we tie the record for most runs scored in four WS games.
Hey get out your brooms
another trophy coming
by way of the sweep
Technically these are senryus, though perhaps "offseason" counts as seasonal imagery.

Ofer... don't be afraid. :)
so earlier i asked my roomie if the packers were playing this weekend (football) - he said they were playing on monday, in denver. i quaintly mentioned that i'm glad that will be the only sporting event going on in denver that night! lets prove it!
phrenile, they're definitely not true haikus. but whatever.
So did our much-vaunted roadie crowd show up for this game? Fox hasn't been showing many.
we're just doing the 5/7/5 thing with no regard for anything else
My girlfriend would like to know why the owners of pretty much every team out there is "too cool" to wear a hat, shirt, jacket, whatever that represents their team. It's a fair question, I think.
I don't know why but part of me wanted to see Gagne in this game; there is no better way of showing your superiority to an opponent.
"Your so crappola we even let this guy pitch to you!"
Fox announcers warming up to say "the tying run is coming to the plate."
Crap.
Tranquilo?
FUCK. BOT PLEASE
Sorry Oki...it's time for the Bot.
Damn it Rockies...
trying to make it interesting, are we?
TOO BAD WE ARE WINNING THIS THING ANYWAY
Bot time
That certainly changes the game a wee bit.
Fragging kidding me, Jeemer, jeemer.
Play off Yerry makes a visit one batter to late.
Can you say "overused"?
here comes the obligatory Buck/McCarver talking like the sox are losing
ah - the old dong to come within one run trick.
we have seen that shit - it is weak.
you score -- you get the bot.
prepare to be snuffed.
Hey Colorado:
Shove the towels up your ass
Bot to shut the door
My girlfriend would like to know why the owners of pretty much every team out there is "too cool" to wear a hat, shirt, jacket, whatever that represents their team. It's a fair question, I think.
It's true, it's something you never see. Only the hats in the clubhouse after they win.
Hmmm. Good question. I have no clue.
Too rich?
Dang it. S'ok - we have bot, beckett, schilling, dice-k and anyone but gagne comin at you rockies!
I think I am smelling aco mvp situation. The bot and Lowell!
Tranquilo
5 outs to go .. it's bottin' time
I don't know why but part of me wanted to see Gagne in this game; there is no better way of showing your superiority to an opponent.
Definitely. Too bad it's a close game now.
That's cool. I ask 29 other MLB teams fans - what would you give for your team to be up by a run, and up 3-0 in the world series, with 5 outs to go?
Laura, I was starting to laugh about your Bambi comment, but then came that fucking HR.
Oh, well... we're still winning this.
Mess with the Sox and you get the Bot.
This sounds familiar -
Last time I checked, the team with 1 more run - WINS!
Not according to Fux.
Men only wear hats on Broadway.
Does anybody think oki was used too much in this series?
Definitely. Too bad it's a close game now.
Yeah that became a moot point just as I posted it lol l-girl; still better having him warming just in case!
Sir J- not really, but he did go 29 pitches last night.
It's all an elaborate scheme to get the # of comments up...
Those were the same pitch, but ok.
I ask 29 other MLB teams fans - what would you give for your team to be up by a run, and up 3-0 in the world series, with 5 outs to go?
An excellent point!
The ump has to call both those pitches strikes. That was ridiculous.
Meaningless Comment #730
does dave roberts play for colorado?
no?
they are fucked.

You see right through my cunning plan.
To paraphrase a dumb Spider: 'champagne tastes better when it's a close game'

Well played Coco well played.
Let's get some insurance for the Bot batters!
Phew. Glad that is a big field. :)
Hawpe, haven't you been paying attention? It's a BIIIIIIIIIIG outfield.
(gives me a chance to listen to XM radio and WRKO feed for a few minutes, which I wanted to do anyway)
Mirabelli did
not play at all for the 'ship
Time for chicken parm!
let's tack on a little INsurance, just for fun
More runs, please.
Any takers on a bet against Papelbon with three outs to go? No? Didn't think so.
TRES!
Can Tito.....Manage a trois?
Make that:
tri.
TRES!
Can Tito.....Manage a trois?
ewwww
So is Mirabelli the only player on the roster who did not get in? Oh, Snyder never did either.
baseball is fun.

Wow, cool.
I thought Ofer might post it in Hebrew.
Any other languages? Bicep, maybe?

Now it's time for the patented big inning to make it a laugher after letting the other team get kinda close

Shalosh (:
Kvar is already in Hebrew, BTW.
And hey, no modding, huh? I like it.
John Henry must have really sensitive ears. He was plugging his ears the other night, and now he's got earplugs in.
I'm having run fantasies, but it'll have to be on two outs.
Hmmmmm...this looks like it's gonna be all Bot.
well, i've had a great fucking dinner tonight.
a heineken, a stella and 4...wait, 5...coronas.
soon to be a bottle of champ!
put the goggles on, flo!!!!!
"poised to become the team against which all others will be measured"
that's us?!
that's us!
Very nutritious, Tim.
It's Bot time baby.
OK, Bot, do your thing. You can rest that shoulder tomorrow and thereafter.
OK- it's Bot time. Let's finish it here.
3 outs to go!
bot, get psycho.
Manny wants his cake
Papi has his goggles on
Bot, you wanna dance?
MANNY WANTS CAKE!
Re diets
In the Navy we used to say the perfect diet was an orange, beer and yogurt!
Orange for well who doesn't like oranges. Yogurt, because, well when you look at all those old people in the Ukraine etc, they ate yogurt.
Beer, well beer because you've got the choicest hops, the finest malts and well because it fragging tastes good.
Dear Bot,
We are waiting for the dance. Think you can get us there?
Thanx,
RSN
Joy Nation

WE ARE THREE OUTS AWAY FROM WINNING THE WORLD SERIES
