KingPK 0 Report post Posted September 24, 2003 Is it me, or does Tampa always try to stir shit up at the end of the season? I remember a few years ago a bit of a tiff with Boston and now we've got a beanball war tonight in Toronto. Sox MN is now 3, 2 if Seattle goes down tonight to the Angels (Anaheim leads 1-0 in the 4th) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rob E Dangerously 0 Report post Posted September 24, 2003 God Damnit.. Who wants to get Graeme Lloyd the hell away from the Royals? KC is 1 and 14 in the games that Boomerang Graeme pitched. WORST. ROYALS. RELIEVER. EVER. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bored 0 Report post Posted September 24, 2003 (edited) A's win in 10. About half-hour later Tim Salmon ends the Mariners hopes with a walk-off homerun in the 11th. A's are YOUR (well ok maybe just mine) 13-time A.L. West Champs. Barring a historic collapse by the Red Sox and the Mariners running the table the ALDS match-ups are pretty much set: Red Sox at A's Twins at Yankees Edited September 24, 2003 by Bored Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bruiser Chong 0 Report post Posted September 24, 2003 I'm hoping the Twins will be able to turn it on for the Yanks and get them out of the first round just to see the fallout. As for Manuel, yes, he's gone. He was on the fence a few months back but now that they've gone and completely blown it, I'd say he's gone, even though it wasn't really anything he did. He wasn't out there giving up the runs or not swinging the bat well. I was watching some of the Tigers/Royals game and caught the part where Llyod was pitching and I must say, I felt bad for the guy. Sounds like he does that on a regular basis, but perhaps not seeing him all the time (unlike Alfonseca) and seeing him be so horrible, got some sympathy out of me. Not like the Royals had a shot in the game, anyway. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Bobby Cox is God Report post Posted September 25, 2003 I find it very funny that tonight could be the end of the Phillies season. Haha, I hope all those critics who said they would dethrone the Braves are all watching that game right now. And I never thought I'd say it, but go fucking Marlins. 8-1 Braves lead, I can feel the home field. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Spaceman Spiff 0 Report post Posted September 25, 2003 Time to give up. Phillies - you guys choked. Big time. Lost 2/3 to the Pirates, lost 2/3 to the Reds at home, and now lost 2 to the Marlins. Fuck. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

KingPK 0 Report post Posted September 25, 2003 And Burkett continues his 1st inning ineptude. Ah well, Seattle's off tomorrow, so there's one more shot to clinch at home. Who would've thought David Ortiz would put up 31 HR and 100 RBI? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Not like the Royals had a shot in the game, anyway. Graeme seems like a nice guy, but he fucking sucks as a pitcher. The Royals are 1 and 14 in the games that he's pitched. Not to mention that he was acquired as a 'left-handed specialist' and Pena never really used him in that role. Oh yeah, it didn't help that he SUCKED against LHB too.
