October Game Thread

[nvalvo]

We all want Texas as a hypothetical ALCS matchup, right?

 

[Ferm Sheller]

Emotional as we'll ever see? Not as emotional as Oil Can Boyd.

or Rob Dibble

 

[rembrat]

or Rob Dibble

Who?

 

[Ferm Sheller]

If Baltimore loses, we don't run the risk of RShack polluting the ALCS game threads. There's that.

Want might be too strong. I'd say "prefer," if only to be away from the AL East familiarity

They're the best team in the league outside Boston. Give me one of these two over Texas please.

 

[Green (Tongued) Monster]

or Rob Dibble

Or Jose Lima

 

[fiskful of dollars]

Imagine how cool he'd be if he could see!

Thought that's what you meant...

 

[E5 Yaz]

Or Jose Lima

rembrat doesn't know who he was either

 

[RIrooter09]

They're the best team in the league outside Boston. Give me one of these two over Texas please.

Their historically low run differential says otherwise.

 

[shawnrbu]

How did Lonnie Smith Saunders not score?

 

[Sprowl]

Go Tronna Go!!

 

[BornToRun]

Bourn got that in quickly.

 

[staz]

That was catchable

 

[rembrat]

rembrat doesn't know who he was either

Lima time.

 

[nvalvo]

Looked like Bourn was there...

 

[Sprowl]

How did Lonnie Smith Saunders not score?

He was playing it safe, in case the ball was caught -- which it should have been.

 

[rembrat]

Bourn choked.

 

[shawnrbu]

Looked like Bourn was there...

He catches that if the roof is closed.

 

[Bergs]

How the fuck did he not score?

 

[DeJesus Built My Hotrod]

Bourn should have had that and Saunders should have scored

 

[rembrat]

I'd bunt here.

 

[Bob Montgomerys Helmet Hat]

Bourn should have had that and Saunders should have scored

It would have been awesome if both of those had happened

 

[BornToRun]

And there goes Tillman.

 

[shawnrbu]

Quick hook from Buck. Hope Farrell is taking notes.

 

[DeadlySplitter]

small start by Tillman

 

[ledsox]

Heck of a slice on that ball Bourn missed.
Moot point for Saunders, just like Bogey in the '13 series.

 

[Al Zarilla]

Quick hook from Buck. Hope Farrell is taking notes.

Buck praying for the strikeout. Is this guy a strikeout pitcher?

 

[rembrat]

Quick hook from Buck. Hope Farrell is taking notes.

If Buck had managed his team to the division win maybe he would be the one taking notes right now.

 

[Green (Tongued) Monster]

Buck praying for the strikeout. Is this guy a strikeout pitcher?

yes

WTF

 

[DeadlySplitter]

and Travis comes up even smaller.

 

[nvalvo]

They're the best team in the league outside Boston. Give me one of these two over Texas please.

By fWAR, both the Orioles and Blue Jays are better at hitting and pitching than Texas. Texas is better in the field than Baltimore.

 

[InsideTheParker]

Nice dp.

 

[Coachster]

Something about Givens and taketh away, right?

 

[Mighty Joe Young]

small start by Tillman

He didn't exactly get rocked .. two seeing eye flyballs - one of which should have been caught plus a line drive.

 

[Al Zarilla]

yes

WTF

Acts like a double play pitcher.

 

[glasspusher]

Love these patient hitters

 

[luckysox]

I honestly can't figure out who to root for. I thought it'd be Baltimore, but somehow I think it's the BJs. WTH?

 

[Bergs]

If Buck had managed his team to the division win maybe he would be the one taking notes right now.

Your unequivocal Farrell love gets old, but that was well-played.

 

[nvalvo]

Sometimes, at times like these, we learn things about ourselves.

 

[Mighty Joe Young]

Well .. of the AL teams in the post season the only one I'm worried about is the Blue Jays .. so Go Orioles

 

[InsideTheParker]

Now that we're in it, I find I dislike B'mo less.

 

[staz]

After identical 89-73 records, this is splitting hairs, but I'd rather not face Britton/Brach/Givens. Also, Chucky is a terrible in-game manager, so go Jays. I guess.

 

[nvalvo]

This is a very good game, though.

 

[Sprowl]

Now that we're in it, I find I dislike B'mo less.

But, but... how could you dislike Canadians? We're such a cute little people.

 

[54thMA]

Watch Dumbo hit another bomb.

Or not.

 

[glasspusher]

But, but... how could you dislike Canadians? We're such a cute little people.

I'm still in mourning over Rob Ford.

 

[Madmartigan]

This crowd is raucous. The thought of the sox pen trying to preserve a late lead in this building in a postseason game scares me a little.

 

[Mighty Joe Young]

I'd take those three over Sanchez, Happ, Estrada and Stroman.
