WS Game 7: A Curse Dies and a Curse Continues

[Jed Zeppelin]

Only thing I can think is the umps decided they want a "clean" win, no ITPHR through the 5 hole or anything like that if possible.

 

[The Big Red Kahuna]

I can't believe it hasn't been mentioned yet:

MEGA-TARP!

 

[ifmanis5]

If this was TBS they'd just run..

 

[PseuFighter]

this reminds me of the super bowl blackout.

 

[DJnVa]

WTF?

Why even use the tarp?

Like the ump said, they don't want game 7 decided because the field gets soaked. So cover it for 10 minutes.

 

[glasspusher]

Jesus this game had everything, good and bad.

No kidding. If this was a script, nobody would believe it

 

[Marciano490]

Allen is already out of the game. Shaw is in.

You're right of course. I meant Shaw. Looked solid there; Allen was rough.

 

[MiracleOfO2704]

As opposed to what? Going home?

Close meaning basically right by the tarp.

 

[Fred in Lynn]

Why is Joe Buck "hoping" we'll be playing in a few minutes? Is SoSH the only place that has people with advanced meteorology skills, i.e. can look at a radar map and knows the colorful areas mean a lot of rain.

 

[Obscure Name]

When did Arod get a job?

 

[Hagios]

Call it a tie. Shake hands. Go play golf tomorrow.

Yeah, like when the Coaches poll and the AP poll had different #1's so you'd have co-national champions.

 

[Comfortably Lomb]

Arod didn't get the memo that he is supposed to wear a clown suit while in the booth.

 

[canderson]

Pete Rose is the Bobby V of TV analysts.

 

[Tyrone Biggums]

Slappy repeating the same shit we already know

 

[teddykgb]

Yeah arod Chapman really showed his roughness and ability to compete by blowingb the game for his team. Not surprised that that's how you define those terms

 

[Jed Zeppelin]

Rose and Rod, what a TV show.

 

[Light-Tower-Power]

Joe West secretly can't get over the fact he's not the crew chief.

 

[Ferm Sheller]

Just crumple it up into a ball and stuff it in the bullpen or something. You can fold the fucking thing in the morning.

 

[DJnVa]

Why is Joe Buck "hoping" we'll be playing in a few minutes? Is SoSH the only place that has people with advanced meteorology skills, i.e. can look at a radar map and knows the colorful areas mean a lot of rain.

They will be playing in a few minutes

 

[KiltedFool]

Worried about the enforced wait impacting shaw and he's got to go through the meat of the order.

 

[PC Drunken Friar]

1215 start

 

[glasspusher]

If there's one thing Joe maddon taught me tonight, it's to let relievers start clean innings

 

[PrometheusWakefield]

Delaying this to tomorrow would be epic.

 

[ngruz25]

Most unlikely thing about this postseason is A-Rod turning out to be the best talking head on the set.

 

[snowmanny]

Frank says it will come down to who wants it the most.

 

[Mugsy's Jock]

All-Star game next year decides the winner.

Bravo

 

[Bozo Texino]

Just crumple it up into a ball and stuff it in the bullpen or something. You can fold the fucking thing in the morning.

I legitimately lol'ed.

This whole thing is way too tense for me, even without a rooting interest.

 

[troparra]

ARod should tell Pete Rose that this game is better than game 6 in '75.

 

[Ed Hillel]

Pete Rose is the Bobby V of TV analysts.

He's Ditka

 

[Fred in Lynn]

"Cleveland is going to do everything possible to score runs."

Hmmm. I wouldn't have thought of that, not having played pro ball.

 

[rembrat]

Rose wants to kill Maddon but the voices in his ear are telling him to chill.

 

[Warning Track Speed]

Pete Rose puzzled by the bunt call.

 

[ricopetro6]

arod with some good analysis

 

[garlan5]

Seriously he thinks Baez bunted on his own

 

[Harry Hooper]

We know we've entered the twilight zone when Pete Rose is actually making sense.

 

[Obscure Name]

WHY AREN'T THEY CUTTING TO COMMERCIALS

 

[jcaz]

If this thing is still tied in about 90 minutes when the real rain hits, we may be looking at a prime time finish tomorrow night. That would be literally epic, literally.

 

[LaszloKovacks]

This is a nice break before extra innings.

 

[Moviegoer]

Pete Rose puzzled by the bunt call.

Who isn't? I'm not sure even Maddon knows why he did it.

 

[McBride11]

Guess Shaw is feeling good

 

[Ed Hillel]

This is like tonight's MLB panel

 

[86spike]

arod with some good analysis

I hate that he's good at broadcasting.

 

[rembrat]

Rose sarcastically asking if they're gonna see Chapman again. I LOVE HIM.

 

[Comfortably Lomb]

Frank Thomas: we don't know what could happen. Either team could win.

Hard. Hitting. Analysis.

 

[Al Zarilla]

You're right of course. I meant Shaw. Looked solid there; Allen was rough.

I always confuse Shaw and Allen. Brit names, chunky right handed pitchers...at least Miller is 6' 6 and throws lefty. I get him fine.

 

[Fred in Lynn]

ARod should tell Pete Rose that this game is better than game 6 in '75.

This is some kind of game, isn't it?

 

[FortyFive]

game on!

 

[MyDaughterLovesTomGordon]

This is ... I don't know what.

 

[patinorange]

Seriously he thinks Baez bunted on his own

I'm a Maddon fan. I'm holding out hope that Baez was bunting on his own.
