Athletics Nation

Don’t insult Blanton that way :-P

For a second, I thought you said "hairier, catchier brother"

and I thought, “Is Napoli really that much of a catch?”

He's catchier

I think you have the makings of a screenplay here, Jennifer

It’s like The Parent Trap, only with baseball! Twins separated at birth, one ends up the catcher on the AL champion, the other a pitcher on the NL champion, and they discover the truth during the World Series….

AL Champion?

No, please.

It took out my gags

It's fiction

“Based on a ~~true story~~ random thought in a game thread”

this game is such a win-win for me

-red sox lose at home, massholes go home unhappy
-angels get swept out of the playoffs yet again

+1

This is exactly how I feel about it and it is awesome.

+7

By the end of the game

the Massholes might be too drunk to know they’re unhappy.

Or to know how to get home.

I just said basically this same thing to my dad and he didn’t appreciate it. :-\

Get ready for the meatball

FAIL FAIL FAIL!

Wow the story of the Angels post-season

Who gets the error?

I believe they rule that a single

Really? Shame.

Rocktopus - October 5, 2008 reply

Scored as a single

first 3 run single in postseason history. gotta love it!

eastcoasta'sfan - October 5, 2008 reply

LOL

Angels are out to set a major league record for FAIL pics.

i feel better

ak_A - October 5, 2008 reply

That was very gritty.

Ellis catches that

Not if Crosby body-checks him

And the added degree of difficulty

of the CFer… Ryan? Carlos? Someone definitely dies if that happened to the A’s.

I think Gallego once broke his arm colliding with Javier on a blooper to center

You could see that going totally wrong

right from the beginning.

Torii Hunter is not a very good "ALDS fielder" is he?

yeah but on the positive side that's only 3 games a year!

And hopefully only three more games total over the duration of this contract.

those 3 being this series with Boston

Schadenfreude!

andeux - October 5, 2008 reply

Incorrect, good sir.

link

::sigh:: it reminds me of the good ol’ days when my friends and I would call that kind of error “pulling an Angels” because it seemed like every time a fly ball split any players it would drop between them.

White Sox are the SOUTHSIDERS

and it’s fun to see the Slegna err their way to obliviion

I think either way, I'm picking the Rays to win it all anyway.

It always sucks when your team beats themselves. My aunt gave up and turned her TV off lol

BWHAAAAABWHAAAAAA....

I finally stopped laughing. I’m tempted to go over to HH to see how well that particular gaffe was received!

The lifeless bloody red pulp lying on the field would be the heart of the Angels. Feel free to kick it on your way by.

HH enjoys the Chokeland Pathetics

i nominate for them the Fake LA FAILos

Asfan4ever723 - October 5, 2008 reply

FAILos is good...

I think the Cubbies had those for breakfast yesterday morning.

Oops.

What in God's name happened to Josh Beckett?

He is terrible now.

oblique injury

His fastball has velocity, but it's hittable (straight?)

so he’s throwing tons of breaking pitches and the Angels are on them now.

And we have a ballgame! I hope it keeps going back and forth. More fun that way.

The Angles are still going to lose.

Napoli theater or not.

ha ha, getting to laugh no matter who scores, i love it!

Josh " i dumped Leeann Tweeden" Beckett

Asfan4ever723 - October 5, 2008 reply

F U Beckett

That pitch got what it deserved.

Pity Boston has a shitty pen.

Torii Hunter SHOULD have no trouble

The commentators are getting very skeptical of his defense.

This will be Torii's last postseason game.

Ever.

Should we expect to see Torii

on the side of the road with a sign that says, “Will play CF for food” at the start of next season?

Maybe his next contract should have an incentive clause to not play in the playoffs

No. He will stay an Angel.

They just won’t make the playoffs. :-)

I like to imagine him being homeless after his performance in the ALDS.

I'd rather not see the Slegna in the playoffs for the next...say...10 years.

The comments at Halo Heaven are hilarious for that play

Such a long string of expletives. We at least try to keep it clean over here.

I can imagine the venom

being spewed by that crew. I think I’ll check it out later so I can laugh even more. I’m counting on Boston to crush them tonight.

We do?

Expletive wise

Dirty jokes wise, we win hands down.

For a guy who had a .266 BABIP on the year,

watching Saunders give up a bunch of runs on a ball in play that should have been an out has a degree of karmic justice.

josh beckett losing all his clutch winner when it counts most -ness

Way to miss the bag.

This game is sloppy.

This is a terrible game

The pop up, Ellsbery should’ve been on 2nd after that “single”, bad and worse pitching by Becket and Saunders, Becket missing 1st base. Whoever the winner of this series is, I look forward to the Rays (or an outside chance the WhiteSox) tear them a new one.

I want it to be Rays/Red Sox

The Rays have home field that way, and have owned the Red Sox at the Trop this year.

won't matter in a 4 game sweep, no?

Nope.

But on the other hand the Rays have also owned everybody at home, and having 4 home games instead of 3 is a huge huge advantage when they’re .500 on the road.

True enough, but imagine this

Game 7 in Anaheim, F-raud goes in with a 3 run lead, and gives up a grand slam, then Hunter, Tex, Vlad strike out the bottom of the 9th. Rays celebrate on LAAA’s home turf. The whole place is dead silent, so quiet.

Tempting

I’d rather it not go 7, but K-Fraud blowing a save and getting the loss in Game 7 sounds absolutely awesome.

Boston does not want to clinch

Beckett sucks tonight.

Torii's middle name is FAIL

Beckett's probably done after 4IP

Delcarmen? Porn?

As long as it's not Paul Byrd

Looks like it'll be Beckett

what? Pron? I missed the reference.

Byrd and the pron

Paul Byrd has evidently written a memoir in which he details his experiences as a Christian Big-Leaguer, including his fondness for the pron.

Here is an ESPN interview with Byrd that talks about it.

Thanks,

If Pron is the worst problem in baseball club house, I would feel pretty good with the state of the sport.

Time to steal a couple of bases

It's the Bermuda FAILangle

Daddy, there's that man again!

boo

or yay

take your pick

(boo)

Wow

Maybe should have taken Beckett out…

No biggie

Francona is an idiot as just proven by that at bat

And for not stealing with Veritek at plate

Has managed very wull up to this game

well

slegnA being set up for a possible K-FAIL

Providing Francona gets off his ass and take him out

like NOW

lol Kendricks first hit of the series. The Red Sox should be embarrassed.

*Beckett should be embarassed

He is looking worse and worse as this game goes on.

True.

And Kendrik gets a hit

I thought we had choked the rally monkey, what happened?

The Rally monkey has a big family

carrying on his tradition

Isn't choking the rally monkey what Paul Byrd has been struggling with?

Why is Torii laughing?

He saw the new FAIL picture we made for him.

Thanks, Blackberry!

Ah, Angels in the outfield, Oh wait, that's Anderson

GA FAIL

This is the biggest FAIL series

I’ve never seen the word get thrown around so much.

We're going to need a whole

series of those “FAIL” pics. That would make for a very interesting Fanpost.

Wow.

Craig looks kind of normal tonight.

Maybe the sight of 35K

drunks made him sober up.

Colonel Saunders is cooked.

I hope the pen lets the game get completely away from slegnA.

Veeeeevvvvaaaa

I hope the game keeps going back and forth a bit. The Red Sox being at home has reminded me why I dislike them… so the hate is roughly even now lol

Stupid massholes

Please, Sox: lose so I don’t have to listen to the retards at work tomorrow who will suddenly remember that they’re ‘Sox fans’, juuust in time to celebrate

schmifty - October 5, 2008 reply

vivaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

Well that was Custian.

Jose Arredondo's the Angels best reliever

And he’s up in the 5th.

Unless Scosia has subscribed to the Joe Maddon School of Bullpen Management (which I hope not), this means the Slegna are incredibly desperate.

desperate....of course

if they lose their season is over.

Oh yeah

But this looks like an unusually smart move for Mike Sciosia.

Bizarro Scioscia

“Bizarro hurt leverage now!”

scatterbrian - October 5, 2008 reply

I wonder how many times we have to mention something on AN

before we start getting ads.

KFC or pron?

Anything.

Are we doing a test?

KFC!!

Paul Byrd!

I want the Angels to trade Arredondo and keep K-Fraud.

Makes their pen that much worse.

And lets Arredondo have a promising career (7th in all MLB in ERA among those with 40+ IP) somewhere else.

North Siders?

FYI-

The White Sox play on the SOUTH side of town.

The NORTH siders have to “wait till next year”

again

theswinginas - October 5, 2008 reply

Jesus...I can't ever get it right!

(see this morning’s post)

Taj Adib - October 5, 2008 reply

We're going to hold that against you.

As well you should...

I’m like Beckett right now. I used to be so good in the clutch, but now I just keep messing up and over-exerting myself. It’s bad for the AN team.

Taj Adib - October 5, 2008 reply

There is no clutch

You’ve just been unlucky in today’s great crapshoot.

geographically challenged?

I think you mean wait for 100 more years.

Wow Kendrick with another hit. I am amazed.

Really? He's a good hitter

Not a good walker but he can hit.

I am just shocked because he’s been so terrible lately. But I guess once he got his first hit he probably went up there more relaxed.

PLEASE TRADE ARREDONDO.

He doesn’t deserve to be on a team like the Slegna.

What's the Slegna?

Angels. Read backwards.

read it backwards ;)

It must be weird to be dyslexic and read Hebrew

lol!

this is truly an ugly game

and not only because both teams are so disgusting

I feel like I'm watching A's-Rangers in Arlington

Soaker - October 5, 2008 reply

yeah...!

I just saw a sign that said "Sweep"

and misread it as “Sheep” – I really need help.

I keep mistaking that LAA for FAIL

Two of the letters are already in it

there is an "LA" in "Fail"

To be honest with you

I don’t really want to see another K-Fail blown save.

It would kill the chances of him resigning with the Angels.

And I want him to resign with the Angels, as he continues to deteriorate. It’s money that can’t be spent on Teixeira/big bat.

I think the Angels already know whether or not they're going to try to resign K-Rod

(I don’t think they will) – but one outing won’t affect things one way or the other.

so go ahead, K-Rod, blow the game again!

If that outing is a playoff ending walk-off?

I want them to resign the FRaud.

Arredondo is too lights out for the Angels.

What the hell was that?

ugh!

lol this game is so ugly

Innovative fail

It's just standard "Game 3 at Fenway baserunning stuff"

If only Billy McMillon had hit a blooper to CF instead of a liner to 2B

A Melhuse flair would have been nice too

No.

It’s just standard ~~Game 3 at Fenway~~ Angels baserunning stuff.

what's that smell?

this game

Time for the usual Shields Fenway Meltdown

That sounds like a sponsorship

“Tonight’s Fenway Meltdown, brought to you by Shields™, your bullpen leader in fire ignition!”

I want a Mark Kotsay walk-off

off of K-Fraud. How sweet would that be?

It would have to be an inside-the-park job, hit right through Torii

Shot through the heart

and you’re to blame, you give baseball a bad name

Too bad

I wanted to look at Okajima’s cute necklace some more.

here you go

I’m putting the link since I’m having trouble doing photos directly

So a guys wanders into a game thread

with a duck under his arm.

Evening everyone.

AFLAC?

I'm glad you asked

So the thread-tender says, “Nice pig.”

Guy says “It’s a duck.”

Thread-tender says, “I was talking to the duck.”

LOL

And the duck says

it’s not all it’s quacked up to be.

My joke?

Or life in general?

Which ever you think is funnier.

Hmm, tough call.

Angels baserunning or their defense?

Time for the Bay daily homer

I'll wager all of it, Alex

Hmm...Looks like no Papelbon,

Masterson for the 9th. Which could mean a beeg problem for LAA if it goes extras. Maybe Speier vs. Papelbon with the series on the line?

Hahaha

Game changing play was the epic FAIL.

Man I really love that it happened with 2 outs and the bases loaded because all 3 runs scored.

FAILFAILFAIL

hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha

Are they going to have a LVP for this series

Torii Hunter wins it easily

This team is full of FAIL!

Torii Hunter = Player of the game.

Love that Angels baserunning!

Have you EVER played in Fenway, Torii?

Holy crap was that dumb.

Soaker - October 5, 2008 reply

Hey! It’s Can Dream Or Alice!

LOL

Lowell should not be playing with his bad hip anyway.

LOwelL?

Slegna doesn't deserve the ALCS

not with the way they’ve played in this series. Absolutely the worst baserunning/defense/offense/baseball I’ve seen.

*don't deserve

Are they chanting FAIL?

Is this the FAIL-DS?

:p

Time for Shields to revert back to his Fenway ERA form

Then if it goes extras, we get K-Loss but lets see it end here somehow

Put in Bulger! Or Bootcheck!

Viva Frank TV!

I will never get tired of seeing that

I love how he hangs his head in shame

It’s so satisfying.

No K-Rod to preserve the tie?

Does the poow wittle fwowew k-wod need his psyche pwotected?

nope

just saving him for, uh, ALCS?

I think I love you.

So what are you so afraid of?

I'm afraid that I'm not sure of a love there is no cure for!

AN Karaoke!

I’m kind of hoping the Angels will score in the top of the 10th so FRod can blow it in the bottom half :)

That would be good if it happened but it's better for him to come in tied

in the 12th when they run out of reliable pitchers. I would like him to come in next inning with the score tied and David Ortiz to hit one 120 mph right at him.

And Kotsay pulls a

**And Kotsay pulls a (insert former Red Sox bench OF here)

FAIL-Rod to blow it in extras, I guess

Because 10 hours of baseball wasn't enough...

Good thing I leeeve for theees.

There's only one October 5th!

How effing exciting

All this game needs now is some K-Fail

I want some Pap Smear fail as well.

Next series

Ah, the playoffs

Where we shift hatred from one series to the next.

Plenty of Fail to go around this post-season

[censors inappropriate joke]

Alright, time to end it

LOL Papelbon simply owns the slegnA

Gotta laugh at the SlegnA watching knowing there could be impending doom coming.

End it before Dexter starts!

Even though I probably will watch it tomorrow when I’m not falling asleep.

Dexter's already over here.

Don't ruin it for me

It starts in 15 minutes here.

No spoilers,

but how was it?

Lemme guess -- bloody?

Last ep. there was sex and donuts.

And speaking of sex and blood....

True Blood is weird.

We canceled our cable a month ago

So pretty much no tv for us now.

Same here

I don't have the premium stuff.

I usually watch those shows online.

Is there anything better?

Sex and cake.

And baseball.

Well yeah

that goes without.

Time for the walk-off

Ortiz ended the 2004 ALDS

with a walk-off against the Angels (also a sweep)

FAIL-Rod=hahahahahah!

LOL Jackass is on the mound

Here we go K-Fail

Let’s go FA-IL

I’d even settle for him loading the bases and someone else giving up the walk/hit that scores the run.

Sulk-off would be acceptable too.

:D

Sometimes I don’t mind watching old highlights.

Especially tonight

They’re showing all the good ones.

Why does FAIL-Rod always fall when he throws

He went to the Eric Byrnes School of Throwing Like a Douche-bag

So did I!

He's overly dramatic.

you spelled "fail" wrong.

Is it, "K-Rod"

GAH he is in the WORST fielding position after he throws. So ugly

But in perfect position to catch a 250-mph hit to the face.

This is exactly what I want.

I want this loss to hang soley on KRod.

I want some of what the BoSox PXP guy is smoking

“Both sides have played superb defense, it’s been another very well-played game.”

lol he’s obviously not watching the same game we are

It's wearing on his mind.....

You can see it! He’s terrified that Ortiz will be the one that beats him.

K-Rod should inflate his postseason ERA

above that of Joey Devine.

WHAT?! a BREAKING BALL in the DIRT!? FAIL-Rod NEVER throws breaking balls in the dirt!

PUUUUUUKKKKKEEEE!!!!

Greek God of Walk-offs?

So that what Youkilis means

Walk-off?

YES! I'll take it!

I hate everything about these two teams.

yeah but it's great

because one of them is always getting beat!

I like the color red.

I don't.

It makes me look like the Kool Aid guy.

Oh Yeah!

[busts through wall]

Finally, a voice of reason.

Now, now

I think Boston has a tasteful logo. Also, I think the “Sweet Caroline” thing is charming.

I hate the lettering.

I hate the stadium and that stupid wall and pole. I kind of like Tito.

It’s a pedophilic song about Caroline Kennedy
.

"Sweet Caroline" is not charming.

In a 2007 interview, Diamond revealed after many decades that the inspiration for “Sweet Caroline” was President John F. Kennedy’s daughter, Caroline Kennedy, who was eleven years old at the time.

Oof.

0-2 hit

YOUK!!!!!!

Oh No Mr. K-Rod..

Do you feel the icy fingers of failure closing around your throat yet again? Angels fans everywhere will blame you for this……the few that are left anyway.

Francona

PLEASE lift Papi for a pinch runner.

Perfect set-up

Sac bunt. Fail-Rod fields. And heaves it down the RF line.

Can't wait.

ugh!

Let's go Lowell... end it here

I disagree

I hate Lowell, I want him to fail.

I like JBay. Why didn't he get a hit here.

“Can he be the hero?” They are so obsessed with creating a hero in every game.

Is Mike Lowell's batting music really "Iron Man"

That's my entrance music at work.

Can he walk at all?

Or if he moves, will he fall?

Is he live or dead?

Iron Man? or Iron Lung?

radio guy is pretty funny to listen to

very sarcastic throughout the game

That's embarrassing, Mike.

Hahaha

Biggest bullshit call right there. He didn’t swing at all.

He shouldn’t have made the umps look bad by assuming lol

I love the guy who yelled "What game are you watching" to the ump

I want an E-5 Chone-off

A choke-off?

I always want the chonies off.

Who's on deck?

JD?

Lowrie.

No, they should be using Kotsay

I need my prediction of a Kotsay walk-off to come true.

omg bases loaded. There are so many possibilities.

Point at the sky, maybe god himself will come down and argue with the umps.

Holy crap!

He points to the sky when he walks the bases loaded, too!

Wild pitch to end the Angels' season?

Rocktopus - October 5, 2008 reply

that would work

Walk off walk.

Shades of NLCS '72

I hate knowing shit like that.

Walk off walk.

Just for the shame of it all.

pam5981 - October 5, 2008 reply

I like the way you think.

I don’t want them to have any kind of sulk off, though… because they would always replay this one since it was against the Red Sox. And I kind of love the specialness of the A’s experiencing it.

Me too

Walking in the run would be ever so much better.

Don't swing rookie

Lowrie's good about that.

I want a literal Walk-off

as in a BB.

Why is he smiling?

He doesn't have to work tomorrow

Neither do I...

but I’m not smiling.

I think she’s talking about lesbian action. Sadly, she loves a phone.

Yeah, that's a pretty lesbionic embrace by the fireplace.

Noooooooo.

Oh, no wait, this is.

SHIT!

That would have been so epic if he had walked the winning run in.

It would have been great since the Angels first run was due to a bases loaded walk.

The ultimate walk. off.

seriously

and despite getting into yet another jam and almost losing the game, with the third out he STILL parades back to the dugout – slapping his glove and running his mouth

COME ON!

What are they doing using Lowrie in that situation?!

They should've used Kotsay.

He would have hit it to the moon

and pointed to the camera and said, “This one’s for you Steve, this one’s for you.”

K-Rod HAS to come out for one more inning.

Is Bootcheck available?

Sadly, he was DFA'd just after Ellis' walk off slammer

Get on the phone and make this happen

Someone has to have these connections.

Who's due up for Boston in the 10th?

Didn't Weaver's brother lose a WS game in extras by giving up a walkoff?

Don't make me look that up. I'm exhausted.

I'm going to wash my car in Iowa.

Bwahahaha thought so.

Same here.

Damn a rocket at Figgins

Close but no cigar

Yum rocket?

Is it time for Porn?

Great.

So who’s in for BOS? Byrd?

Aren't those little Boston

kids suppose to be in school tomorrow? If they’re not careful they will grow up and become ignorant alcoholics….

Not that there's anything wrong with that.

why bother trying to avoid your genetic fate?

It's getting past midnight

Last call is 2am in Boston. If the RedSox clinches past that, where are the fans going to go to celebrate?

The streets.

what you mean? alcohol flows free in the streets of Boston? I gotta go there one of those days!

No ED commercial?

BANKRUPTCY

NONPERFORMANCE!

FAILURE

It's different

I swear.

Winner!

I hate hearing the Massholes bitch about every little call that goes against them

That was a poor throw.

Pretend I just posted LL's lawn dart .gif [here]

lol omg how embarrassing. That would be me if I played baseball.

That's fantastic.

I love Lookout Landing

Oh my god.

I hope he got benched.

Dude.

We’re talking about the Mariners.

Oh yeah

Silly me.

boooooooooo!

LOL

WTF WAS THAT THROW?

damp squib?

LOL

This thread is crazy.

Oh Shit!

Did he just throw that ball straight into the ground?

Pretty much.

Good god

SHAMEFUL

WTF was that throw in from the OF

Looked Ibanez-esque

Crap.

NO NO NO NO NO

James Shields is right: Coco Crisp is a pussy.

my brother in law is purposely going against all teams I root for

Beat his ass.

I think Cash forgot how many outs there were.

This will be so anticlimactic and lame if the Red Sox just go down 1-2-3

who is going to blow the save for the Angels now?

Weaver will be staying in

Game threads are so much fun when we're not watching the A's.

why oh why are the angels winning?

I thought the sweep was a guarantee? Can K-rod come back in?

louismg - October 5, 2008 reply

Wonderful

I still have faith in Big Papi, bottom of inning but if not, they have to win tomorrow because Matsuzaka would be going game 5 and we don’t really want that in spite of his record.

Guys, remember. Boston can come back.

It’s not like Boston hasn’t pulled a walk-off 2-run bomb in the 12th inning of an ALDS game before.

I hate you

Well, they can now do that against a team I don't like.

PRETERMISSION

Oh and also I liked how they said “They already used KRod” as if he is even their best pitcher right now. Oh Noes! They used the guy who loaded the bases and almost blew the game already.

patented angels fashion… um gag me other teams go 1st to 3rd too.

PULL LOPEZ NOW.

Oh man, I finally realized what my son remind me of.

A hobbit. He is such a little hobbit.

Good god it’s late.

It is, it is.

how old is he?

One.

He has hairy feet and lives in a burrow with a round door.

Only 32 more years 'til he comes of age

lol

So…many…nerds…

??

He is adorable.

I want to pinch his cute little cheeks.

My nephews and nieces

are terrifed of me for my cheek pinching.

I'm more of a squisher than a pincher.

That sounds wrong.

You squish babies?

wtf.

Yeah, same here

I can’t help myself.

awwwww!

Check your email.

If you lived on the West Coast like a normal person

It’d only be 9:40 and not 12:40

We're looking for ways to move back.

I suggest U-Haul and HW 80

pray for solo HR, I want more x-innings

MOAR BAASEBALLLLL

good start, dream!

Let's Go Red Sox!

My sister asks, “do the Angels have a monopoly on ugly players?”

louismg - October 5, 2008 reply

Youkillis is a gritty guy.

You know what gritty guys do here?

hit walk-offs?

Yep.

Grittily ground into a double play?

Eat grits!

errr.. hit home runs and be burly as all hell.

Chafe easily?

LOL

It’s been a long night.

C'mon Youk!

It would even better if the angels lost on

a walk off in the 12th inning.

Yes. Exactly.

Do it JBay

The stage is set for you.

BAYL

Must. Swing. Bat.

It's go time.

Let’s do this thing, Sawx!

louismg - October 5, 2008 reply

Alex Cora? Great.

You are just delaying the inevitable, Angels.

:D

Alex Cora hasn't had a homer all season.

Now’s the time.

WOW

Nice play figgy.

Shut up.

Get out of here. You are banned.

But..but..

fine, I’m joining HH and bashing the A’s… Bwahahaha couldn’t even keep a straight face.

DAMN IT!!!!!!!!!!!!

FUCK!!!!

Don't get too worked

we can’t be that upset when Boston loses.

That historical Angels-losing to Sux streak of futility is over though

ASS.

I stayed all the way just to see this shite?

Ugh

aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaand it’s time to watch Dexter. See y’all tomorrow!

What happens now?

Time for bed.

In. Deed.

Oh well

And we have Monday baseball!

Let’s go RAYS! Let’s go SUX!

Yay silver lining

dang

Precedent, Red Sox. Precedent.

You’re supposed to rape the Angels in the playoffs AND in familiar ground.

Fuck you.

NIghty night.

BANKRUPTCY

Cora was supposed to bail me out. :-(

I'd even rather have Crosby up instead

They could have pinch hit Casey

(Youkilis to 3B if they tie it up). Ah well.

Should aired that ED commercial

I know - and to think my erection wore off over an hour ago

even though I took my Viagra with the first pitch.

One won lost won - October 5, 2008 reply

Can you imagine the scene??!!

“if an erection lasts longer than three hours, contact your physician..”

……two hours, forty-eight minutes….
……two hours, forty-nine minutes…..
…..two hours, fifty minutes, hey, I think….what does it look like to you?! Is that softer than fifteen minutes ago!! Wait! ….okay, okay, let’s get to the emergency room…no!!…yea, let’s go…

Okay, we still have three minutes…if in five minutes, ….no …if in three minutes…

and what the heck are you supposed to say in the emergency room when you get there?

um, nurse, I have an erection that lasted more than three hours

what does she say then?

eastcoasta'sfan - October 6, 2008 reply

"Congratulations"?

alox - October 6, 2008 reply

Well, that would be better than

“Where?”

eastcoasta'sfan - October 6, 2008 reply

Must win for Sox tomorrow

Just my personal opinion but I do not like Matsuzaka’s chances if it comes back to Anaheim.

Lester will get it done.

One won lost won - October 5, 2008 reply

Lester won't let it fester

oaklandSMASH - October 5, 2008 reply

Probably more of a must win for the Angels, eh?

67MARQUEZ - October 6, 2008 reply

It's okay with me, the Angel victory

Play to exhaustion, both teams losing in front of the home crowd throughout the series. Still good outcome, IMO.

Lester vs. Wackey tomorrow

I have a feeling Lackey is going to get lit up like a Christmas treet

Nearly as good as watching K-Rod blow it
