Cubbies major strand. I wanted to want the Cubs to win, but after the first Murphy HR of game one I realized I was a Mets fan! This is fun.

 

[Al Zarilla]

Wrigley looks a hell of a lot older than Fenway in those views.

 

[staz]

The only thing better than the impending Maddon spinfest will be watching the AL champ steamroll these NY frauds.

I will remember this and smile.

Talk about a win/win; I'm buying what you're selling here.
 

 

[SemperFidelisSox]

Mets were 9-11 vs AL teams this year and won't have homefield, but they look dominant right now.

 

[Jordu]

Big hat tip to E5 Yaz for the Paper Lace reference.

 

[rembrat]

Where is Thor?

Murphy is overdue to wake up

 

[glasspusher]

I just put cookies in the oven and in comes Colon? Coincidence? I think not!

 

[Madmartigan]

How about a long ball to make this at least slightly interesting?

 

[Bob Montgomerys Helmet Hat]

Where is Thor?

Totally agree.  He seems like the logical move.

 

[54thMA]

Colon coming in from the bullpen to the mound looks like a freighter coming into a port.

At ebb tide

 

[Al Zarilla]

Nothing against Cespedes, but I hope it comes down to his substitute up in a key situation.

 

[54thMA]

And there's the Marlins fan behind home plate again; what the fuck is with this guy

 

[Al Zarilla]

Sandoval wants to stand next to Colon for the comparison.

 

[glasspusher]

Good pitch, terrible fishing there

 

[86spike]

Swung out of his cleats

 

[54thMA]

As they say in New Yawk, that out was YUGE

 

[glasspusher]

Sandoval wants to stand next to Colon for the comparison.

 
Jon Broxton nods in approval

That's the perfect script

And there's the Marlins fan behind home plate again; what the fuck is with this guy

http://www.jsonline.com/blogs/sports/280594072.html

He is known as “Marlins Man” because he is seated – well, actually he mostly stands – in the front row behind home plate wearing a bright orange Miami Marlins jersey and visor. You can’t miss him. He sticks out like an orange thumb.

So, as it turns out, “Marlins Man” is on my connecting flights Monday from San Francisco to Kansas City as the World Series returns there for Game 6 on Tuesday night. So, on the layover in Phoenix, I asked him the questions folks have told me they wondered, mainly:

Who?

Why?

How?

As for the who part, the man is Laurence Leavy and he lives in North Miami Beach, Fla. He is an attorney who runs a 47-employee law firm in Miami – thus, the Marlins garb.

Why does he do it? He is a self-described sports nut who tries to go to every major sporting event he can – World Series, Super Bowl, NBA finals, Kentucky Derby, etc. He estimated he travels upwards of 300 days a year across the country to attend these events.

“I love the energy at these big sporting events,” said Leavy, who has a vast multi-sport memorabilia collection. “It’s like an addiction. You wish your team could have it every year. I was at every game when the Marlins played in their two World Series.”

How does he get those great seats, you ask? He told me he gets them primarily on the secondary market but also has developed contacts in various cities, such as San Francisco, from attending sports events in the past.

Basically, Leavy decided if you’re going to take the time and effort to attend these events, you might as well sit in the best seats.

Fenway has gotten a shit ton of TLC

 

[rembrat]

Why would he do it again?

 

[glasspusher]

Fenway has gotten a shit ton of TLC

 
No joke. Looking back at the video of 1986 and 1975, it looks positively dilapidated compared to today.

 

[staz]

Wow. What a clown store.

 

[phrenile]

Even the ivy has given up.

 

[Madmartigan]

Schwarber is actually worse than Hanley

 

[brienc]

No one watered the ivy in left field.

 

[glasspusher]

Why would he do it again?

 
Because he's an idiot? Jeez.

 

[rembrat]

The only thing better than the impending Maddon spinfest will be watching the AL champ steamroll these NY frauds.

Please.

 

[Bob Montgomerys Helmet Hat]

Fenway has gotten a shit ton of TLC

Theo has big plans for Wrigley.
 
And Schwarber is a great DH

 

[kieckeredinthehead]

2015: the year baseball teams realized left field was an actual position that people play

Even the ivy has given up.

Winner!

You don't miss decent defense 'til it's gone. 
 
I think I'll write a country song.

you can’t tell me that if you were rolling is as much $$$ as this guy, you wouldn’t go to every major sporting event?

 

[Gdiguy]

Totally agree.  He seems like the logical move.

 
Thor in the NLDS was a 'break glass in emergency' kind of thing - worst case, up 3-1 with Harvey/Thor/DeGrom in games 5/6/7, I don't think they use him out of the bullpen.
 
Colon has been great this year, I don't see any problem with Colon unless it gets much much closer

 

[54thMA]

Schwarber is actually worse than Hanley

 

Imagine this guy in left for the Red Sox; the game threads on this forum would burst into flames

Dont forget mama, trains, trucks, prison, or getting drunk.

 

[SemperFidelisSox]

I think Castro has everyone fooled and is actually retarded.

 

[glasspusher]

huge squander by mets. They're toast.

 

[CaptainLaddie]

Feels like the Cubs have a bit of momentum here, if momentum was a thing.

 

[54thMA]

you can’t tell me that if you were rolling is as much $$$ as this guy, you wouldn’t go to every major sporting event?

 
Honestly, I wouldn't; I'm a Boston sports fan through and through, I wouldn't enjoy myself at a game if I had no rooting interest with either team, but that's just me.
 
If I had his kind of dough, I spend it on strippers, booze, cigarettes and fire engines.
 
Thanks for the explanation as to what his deal is.
 

 

 

[glasspusher]

Jhonny Peralta- Your cheatin' PEDs

 

[barbed wire Bob]

And a dog. A good country song has to have a dog in it.

 

[rembrat]

Please bring in Thor. Stop fucking around.
