NLCS Game Thread- CHC VS NYM

[Dollar]

Yeah that's probably as close as you could possibly get, but there's nothing there to overturn it.

And therein lies the rub. I can't disagree with you.
 
I guess it stems from my belief that if you truly are intelligent, you don't need to try to impress people. And I feel like he overtly tries to do that. "HEY look at me with the magician in the clubhouse! Themed road trips! And also I listen to the Grateful Dead and ride a bicycle to places. And I have an RV."

And that fucking hat he's wearing

He's like the Phil Jackson of baseball...if Phil never won a championship.

I'm confused. Did Maddon actually let a relief pitcher lead off the 8th inning, then switch to a different pitcher for the bottom half?

I feel like you don't GET Maddon's genius.

Perhaps you're right

 

[MakMan44]

 
Perhaps you're right

That's okay, I guarantee you're not alone in that boat.

 

[glasspusher]

I was going to add 04, 07, 13 as reasons I let it go. Still no good?

I won't let go of Grady leaving Pedro in, but I am very glad for 04, 07 and 13.

 

[Buzzkill Pauley]

Never

Amen, brother.

Tonight? No, Coghlan hit for Grimm and then Richard went in to pitch. ... (Am I missing something?)

 

[Al Zarilla]

Castro would drive me crazy. He watches the ball while barely running out of the box.

Thanks. I'm not watching, just going by the ESPN box score, which has Grimm actually having batted

 

[staz]

Terrible swing

 

[MakMan44]

Familia seems like a pretty good pitcher

 

[MakMan44]

Nice play Murph!

 

[staz]

Ida rather had Ross there, but I'm no Joe Maddon

 

[kieckeredinthehead]

Murph is going to get paid

 

[Al Zarilla]

Should have watched USC - Notre Dame.

 

[strek1]

On the SNY Post game Show Bobby V doesn't need gloves or an overcoat like those other guys cause he's a MAN.

And Keith needs that ridiculous coat with the fur collar why? He looks like he's going on date with the Captain of the QE-2.

 

[Darnell's Son]

Not a must win, obviously, but if the Cubs lose this one, they'll have dug themselves one hell of a hole.  

 

[rembrat]

Dusty looks dapper AF.

 

[strek1]

So lots of time splitting between this thread and Pats game I presume?

Might add some reruns of Cam Newton post-scoring grand standing from today's game. Newton almost could make one pull for Seattle.

 

[Average Reds]

With that hair, Syndergaard looks like Peter Frampton circa 1978.

That's Thor pitching, AR.

 

[strek1]

Need some anti-freeze to sit in those stands tonight.

Thor finds it balmy.

 

[fineyoungarm]

What a pitch that second strike was/is.

 

[Papo The Snow Tiger]

I dislike Joe Maddon as much as anyone, but it's really, really hard for me to root for the Mets. I'm rooting for the road team for the rest of this series. I hope it goes seven games, and whoever wins is so emotionally drained that they fold like a sad sack of shit against either the Royals or Blue Jays.

 

[rembrat]

I got 5 on it!

 

[Wingack]

The Mets mean business.

 

[Sprowl]

Not so dextrous, Fowler.

 

[fineyoungarm]

Arrieta starting game 3?

 

[rembrat]

Murph Murph Murph

 

[Wingack]

Murphy needs to tested for something right now.

 

[RIrooter09]

Murphy is unreal.

 

[Average Reds]

Murphy en fuego.

 

[BornToRun]

For fuck's sake, Murphy.

 

[Gdiguy]

Absolutely ridiculous. Talk about carrying a team

 

[strek1]

I've heard of athletes being in the Zone but this guy's in the "TWILIGHT ZONE".

 

[Average Reds]

That man is going to get paid.

 

[Bob Montgomerys Helmet Hat]

It's the power of Jesus

 

[rembrat]

That man is going to get paid.

Care to guess who?

 

[Wingack]

It's like someone told Daniel Murphy he could reverse SCOTUS' ruling on gay marriage if he keeps hitting postseason home runs.

 

[fineyoungarm]

It's the power of Jesus

Jesus Malverde?

 

[Cumberland Blues]

Saw too much JBJ the end of the season...I thought Wright's ball was a can of corn.

 

[Wingack]

Care to guess who?

 
Honestly, three for $35 to the Yankees.
