If we were playing "Caption This", I'd use: Umpire: "Look, I'd love to explain that call to Terry himself; he didn't need to send the batboy out to argue."

He would have been out. Bay was playing really shallow there. His throw barely hit the cutoff man. It still was the good call. You want to be really sure that the runner has a good chance to score on that play before you send him; Bay's throw was a little off, but he got that ball in fast. EDIT: All right, someone tell the directors at FOX and TBS that the shots of worried looking fans in the crowd was played in '04. EDIT 2: Caray's "The clock has struck midnight on the Cinderella Rays" would have been more apropos if it wasn't the first fucking game of the series!. I pine for Buck and McCarver. There, I said it.

Ok, I think good Dice-K took bad Dice-K into the clubhouse and shot him after the first. His velocity is up and he's hitting the corners like mad. Now if we could have the top half of the inning last longer than a minute we might have something.

Take a shot whenever Caray or Martinez talk about losing a ball in the lights or the catwalks. You'll be shitfaced by the 5th.

Walk the bases loaded and then get out of it. Textbook Dice-K and I can't stand watching it.

Clear your cookies.

That, and they are just terrible on defense. Torii Hunter dropping a can of corn in game 3, the three run single, Kendrick's bobble on a possible DP ball that let the first Boston run score tonight, guys taking the wrong route to balls or diving when they should just let it drop, they just kicked themselves in the ass so much out in the field in this series.

They should be.

I thought it was a great episode tonight. Plenty of plot development with Ted and Stella with the Barney/Robin story still lurking in the background ready to be unleashed. Robin's dance of joy in the bathroom was just awesome. Did I catch some Robin Sparkles moves in there?

Good God, what happened to Rosenfels in the 4th?

Neither Howard or the runner going to 3rd had reached the base before the interference occured, so they have to return to their original base.

That's a solid conference win at the very least. Also, beating the Grand Poobah of this thing is something to hang my hat on.

"Scenario #2: He hung himself in his fucking closet." "Update: We still don't know where this fucking guy is."

Yep, Orlando Cabrera hit it.

Also, the rumor is that Dr. Feelgood is the next album release on October 14th. Finally, a video game rendition of Dr. Feelgood that isn't from the Genesis era!

The Angels' power just completely disappears during the playoffs, it seems. Even with Texiera. They had one XBH out of their 11 total hits and I was blown away when they mentioned that the Angels haven't hit a home run in their last 7 (now 8, I guess) postseason games. That's with Texiera added to an offense with Vlad. Wow. EDIT: If my calculations are right, that means their last homer was Vlad's grand slam in Game 3 of the '04 ALDS.

That jacket is fucking puke green.

Don't forget the NBA.

62 saves don't mean shit in October. This game is unfolding almost exactly like last year's game 2. Edit: SoSH just exploded.

Now why the fuck is Masterston still in the game? You really want to put that much pressure on him? Lopez is there for a fucking reason, Terry. EDIT: Who the fuck dresses Craig Sager? I mean, seriously, someone is fucking with us.

I'm not getting Francona's bullpen use tonight. He brought in Okajima a little too early, IMO. That probably leaves Delcarmen and Lopez (for lefties) for the 8th before Papelbon. Of course, he had to do it because Dice-K couldn't get past the 5th....AGAIN!
