This is very good to see

It’s only a matter of time

Let's try again

Walkoff thread mojo!

"Timlin's a veteran. He knows how to keep himself ready."

Viagra?

Won't work

There is an hour lead-time before that stuff kicks in.

Not that I know anything about it, of course.

So you should take one every hour of your life...just in case?

that hurts just thinking about it

And every four hours....

….you’d have to contact your albino physicist. Or something.

I just lost a round of Text Twist on the word "vermin."

I should’ve gotten that, considering I’ve been watching the Red Sox for five hours.

Yuck. Mice.

And rats.

This is so predictable

Keep it up Timlin

You are Jim Mecir, Keith Foulke, Post injury Santiago Casilla and Justin Speier all in one

...and the mouse said, "Look, get my ass out of this trap-"

“-and I’ll get you a leadoff walk, which, according to Gameday” said the mouse, “gives you a 24.5% chance to score, and thus, win the game. SQUEEK!”

Now ask the raccoon.

HOLY CRAP!

COME ON RAYS!!!

I don't understand what that graphic on the base path means.

It’s always the same number. It would probably help if I had the telly un-muted.

I think it's the number of feet in the lead

By feet I mean the measure not the end of the leg

By lead I mean the distance from the base not the radiation proof element

Yeah, the red means they're too close to first to steal

and when they’re in the green, that’s the “go zone”- the lead they need to steal the base.

I think they call it the "lead tracker."

Something about how far the runner is off the base.

We're the Red Sox, you have to give us the call.

Francona was just reminding the ump that MLB has already decreed the Sawx are to win again

Then the ump said "you're the one who brought in Timlin"

Timlin

sounds like the name of a mouse, no?

Woo-hoo!

Wait, who just got ejected?

Sawcks pitching coach

I can't believe I had to follow most of this game on my PHONE.

But are you in LOVE with your phone?

It's the feel good story of the year.

Or whatever crap that commercial says.

"I think I'm falling in love... with a PHONE."

I take back what I said about replacing humans with machines wherever possible

At least he didn't bunt it off his face.

wow

Holy shit. The runner at second was on third almost

before the pitch.

Jennifer - October 11, 2008 reply

Woohoo - winning run at 3B

thanks for starting the runners, Maddon

If they don't score now...

I don’t know what I’ll do, but it won’t be good. Watch out.

C'mon boys now or never can't give the Sox extra lives

God I love baseball

and beer.

"Fisted"

Ick

Okay, seriously?

That “experience vs. exuberance” line is so over.

So's the game!

woot!

YYYAAAAAH

YES

Yes, oh yes, woohoo!!!!

WOO!

Yay! It's over and the good guys won!

Boo! Now I have no reason to delay cleaning up the cupboard!

Englishmajor - October 11, 2008 reply

Yuck. Racoon diaper.

and everyone says raccoons are "clean" animals

cuz they wash their food

feeel......the heat!?!?!?!

mikeprooo - October 11, 2008 reply

That was a piss-poor throw, good arm or not

Mike Timlin: MVP.

Blicks - October 11, 2008 reply

Lol @ Perez slapping home plate during his slide

Between BJ's mohawk and Craig's clothes...

my TV is hurting.

"fisted"

Seriously how many times has the announcer said that during the playoffs.

mattman - October 11, 2008 reply

I would have bet my house that TB wins when he brought in Timlin

I don’t own a house but I could have bet yours

Trainman - October 11, 2008 reply

I would have bought a Credit Default Swap from you.

It’s what keeps the economy going!

Gosh, what a bad throw by Drew.

Two great games in the NLCS so far.

The post-game interviewees...

…rarely look directly at Sager.

I wonder why…

If I must watch an endless game...

I’m sure glad it ended this way.

bear88 - October 11, 2008 reply

New Post-Game Thread!?

Done.

What IS that mascot?

Looks dead.
