he’s had an easier introduction to the booth than his bro— radio, no McCarver, no real pressure…. The first game he was really quiet, but he is getting better each time out (not unlike Bret) and today has been willing to say things like “that was a really bad pitch” and step in appropriately.
He also has the benefit of Producer/Engineer Kevin Cremin.
Snow in Colorado!
What is Pineiro looking at?
Goose - October 10, 2009
Sex Face
Jeff Sullivan - October 10, 2009
I thought he was looking over his shoulder for karma catching up with him ...
msb - October 10, 2009
I was trying to think of a way to use that angle but gave up
Jeff Sullivan - October 10, 2009
Even the Cards fans are waving white towels? Lame.
Goose - October 10, 2009
Aaron from right now is still unconvinced it is happening.
Aaron Campeau - October 10, 2009
Well I'll be a son of a bitch
Aaron Campeau - October 10, 2009
My guess is that Brendan Ryan's dong is either hilariously tiny or frighteningly enormous.
Aaron Campeau - October 10, 2009
Jeff Sullivan - October 10, 2009
Jeff Sullivan - October 10, 2009
Jeff Sullivan - October 10, 2009
You are scaring me.
msb - October 10, 2009
If the Cardinals win then tomorrow has four games in a row!
Jeff Sullivan - October 10, 2009
Go baseball!
Poochie - October 10, 2009
Nothing like seeing Joel to make Manny feel all comfy
msb - October 10, 2009
Now look I love guacamole as much as the next fat guy but there's no reason the break the fourth wall
Aaron Campeau - October 10, 2009
yum. guacamole.
msb - October 10, 2009
Preach it.
royalcurve - October 10, 2009
Guacamole makes a fine dinner.
msb - October 10, 2009
This pitching match-up would seem to tell us a lot about the NL vs AL
msb - October 10, 2009
You mean the fact that the NL is essentially AAAA?
Sundevil78 - October 10, 2009
The best player in all of baseball plays in the NL
Aaron Campeau - October 10, 2009
Vicente Padilla?
Sundevil78 - October 10, 2009
Did they forget that he dropped that ball on Thursday?
Goose - October 10, 2009
Perhaps they remembered that he was one of the main reason they even got to the playoffs
Aaron Campeau - October 10, 2009
I bet they still get into the playoffs without Holliday.
Goose - October 10, 2009
The point is that he's been tremendous for them and one error shouldn't change the way the fans feel about him.
Aaron Campeau - October 10, 2009
Oh I agree.
I’m just surprised at the reaction is all.
Goose - October 10, 2009
Good on them.
St. Louis fans are rad.
Aaron Campeau - October 10, 2009
www.vivaelbirdos.com
Dewey N - October 10, 2009
All SBN MLB blogs suck except LL, McCovey Chronicles and Royals Review
Aaron Campeau - October 10, 2009
Gaslamp Ball has some quality stuff sometimes.
Goose - October 10, 2009
I meant more in terms of the community.
Most of the SBN MLB blogs have decent content.
Aaron Campeau - October 10, 2009
I wonder what we've all had in common!
Jeff Sullivan - October 10, 2009
Bucs Dugout should be better
Jeff Sullivan - October 10, 2009
They would be more rad if they didn't wave those towels like everybody else.
Goose - October 10, 2009
Good god yes.
Eyeball Kid - October 10, 2009
No disagreement
Aaron Campeau - October 10, 2009
I wonder what dumb thing Mariners fans will do if we ever reach the playoffs again?
EnglishMariner - October 10, 2009
The Mariner chomp!
JamMasterJesus - October 10, 2009
The 'complain to the usher because someone is shouting/standing up' chomp?
EnglishMariner - October 10, 2009
Hee.
royalcurve - October 10, 2009
I don't even remember the Dodgers acquiring Padilla.
russak - October 10, 2009
2 days after Texas released him.
msb - October 10, 2009
He's a step up from Jason Schmidt
bluemax - October 10, 2009
Go baseball!
Dewey N - October 10, 2009
The best part about playoff baseball is the great pitching matchups we get to see
Wait
Gihyou - October 10, 2009
Pineiro was a 4.8 WAR pitcher.
Aaron Campeau - October 10, 2009
GOD
Graham MacAree - October 10, 2009
Actually according to SC he was a 5.3 WAR pitcher!
Aaron Campeau - October 10, 2009
Like Felix!
Poochie - October 10, 2009
No?
Dewey N - October 10, 2009
Dave Cameron said Felix is a five win pitcher therefore he is a five win pitcher
Poochie - October 10, 2009
The verb in was "was"
Dewey N - October 10, 2009
*in the sentence
Dewey N - October 10, 2009
You are taking "like" to literally
Poochie - October 10, 2009
You are taking "like" too literally
Poochie - October 10, 2009
I don't know how to take it any other way
Dewey N - October 10, 2009
You take it how I want you to take it
Poochie - October 10, 2009
How is that?
Dewey N - October 10, 2009
Not like a little bitch
Poochie - October 10, 2009
You lost me
Dewey N - October 10, 2009
GOD
Graham MacAree - October 10, 2009
He's had a fantastic year, yes
Also: Padilla, Vicente
Gihyou - October 10, 2009
You mean starting Vicente Padilla in a playoff game isn't going well?
I’ll be damned.
Goose - October 10, 2009
Well that unfortunate.
Goose - October 10, 2009
That was
Jesus
Goose - October 10, 2009
Honestly I am thrilled that Joel has become decent.
I never disliked him.
Aaron Campeau - October 10, 2009
It's not his fault we never thought to teach him to throw a sinker.
Sundevil78 - October 10, 2009
Obviously we should sign him for 4 years 48 million.
Slurvey - October 10, 2009
WWBD
What Would Bavasi Do?
Sundevil78 - October 10, 2009
WHAT THE HELL IT'S A 2 WIN FASTBALL!
Slurvey - October 10, 2009
It's not our fault he's a flaming emo
Big Jared - October 10, 2009
Brendan Ryan looks like he took a time machine from the 1920s
bluemax - October 10, 2009
His neck must have made a stopover in 1978
Aaron Campeau - October 10, 2009
That wasn't a strike
bluemax - October 10, 2009
Ethier!
bluemax - October 10, 2009
Fuck.
Eyeball Kid - October 10, 2009
That pitch could not have been Ethier to take out of the park
OlSalty - October 10, 2009
Nice lisp
Sundevil78 - October 10, 2009
Whoopsie!
Eyeball Kid - October 10, 2009
The in-game manager interviews are annoying during the regular season, but during the playoffs they are downright rage inducing.
Aaron Campeau - October 10, 2009
.
lemonverbena - October 10, 2009
He looks like a monkey to me
Dewey N - October 10, 2009
to me he has always looked like the Looney Tunes' day-dreaming Ralph Phillips
msb - October 10, 2009
I would appreciate a side-by-side comparison
Jeff Sullivan - October 10, 2009
Yes ma'am
Dewey N - October 10, 2009
I can see it
Jeff Sullivan - October 10, 2009
I think he might be albino
Dewey N - October 10, 2009
If I had the ability to capture a screenshot from a cartoon I would ...
about 2.30 min. in…
msb - October 10, 2009
Print screen + MSPaint?
Eyeball Kid - October 10, 2009
You can also link to an exact time in a youtube link.
Like this
lailaihei - October 10, 2009
thank you!
I can barely play you tube on this machine ….
msb - October 10, 2009
He's checking to see if run support is here yet
Gihyou - October 10, 2009
What a stache.
Schuxu - October 10, 2009
Beltre made these much more sexier.
Schuxu - October 10, 2009
Muse!
Eyeball Kid - October 10, 2009
WAIT WHAT!
Slurvey - October 10, 2009
They played Exo-Politics going into a break!
Eyeball Kid - October 10, 2009
DAMMIT I MISSED THIS!
Slurvey - October 10, 2009
By 'they' I mean TBS
Muse weren’t actually there, sadly.
Eyeball Kid - October 10, 2009
oh... But Muse!
Slurvey - October 10, 2009
No politics.
Slurvey - October 10, 2009
Terribly sorry.
Eyeball Kid - October 10, 2009
I'm liking Aaron Boone on the radio side
he’s had an easier introduction to the booth than his bro— radio, no McCarver, no real pressure…. The first game he was really quiet, but he is getting better each time out (not unlike Bret) and today has been willing to say things like “that was a really bad pitch” and step in appropriately.
He also has the benefit of Producer/Engineer Kevin Cremin.
msb - October 10, 2009
Ryan's stache slowed him down going into first there.
Sundevil78 - October 10, 2009
Go Dodgers!
Dewey N - October 10, 2009
Ryan Franklin could've done better
Dewey N - October 10, 2009
WHY HAS PADILLA BEEN SO GOOD WITH THE DODGERS
Dewey N - October 10, 2009
AAAA
Kinslerhomer - October 10, 2009
Exactly.... NL is GARBAGE!!!
Sundevil78 - October 10, 2009
I KNOW IT FRIGHTENS ME AS WELL
Dewey N - October 10, 2009
Robots!
Eyeball Kid - October 10, 2009
He shouldn't've swung at that same pitch two times before
Dewey N - October 10, 2009
"Only realtors are members of the National Association of Realtors"
thank you for that helpful nugget of information.
msb - October 10, 2009
And only High School drop outs are realtors.
Sundevil78 - October 10, 2009
So Smoltz is still good.
lailaihei - October 10, 2009
His slider has been awesome so far.
EnglishMariner - October 10, 2009
Only in the NL
Sundevil78 - October 10, 2009
Not true.
lailaihei - October 10, 2009
Okay, he's totally hittable in both leagues?
Agreed
Sundevil78 - October 10, 2009
If by NL you mean North american Leagues
Jeff Sullivan - October 10, 2009
Yeah, kinda makes you wonder why Boston gave him up only to let Paul Byrd make 5 starts
vivaelpujols - October 10, 2009
I am surprised that broadcasters are showing pitch f/x constantly on their playoff streams.
It will make even the casual fan realise that robots are needed ASAP.
EnglishMariner - October 10, 2009
Why did I choose to root for this goddamn team?
Fucking Cardinals.
(I’m hanging here tonight since apparently my unique brand of pessimism angers them over at VEB.)
craig3410 - October 10, 2009
Na na na na, na na na na, hey hey hey, gooooooodbye!
Wilder. - October 10, 2009
This is just fucking disappointing.
That is all.
section331 - October 10, 2009
I'm happy.
Wilder. - October 10, 2009
I know
And I’m happy FOR you.
But not for me. :(
section331 - October 10, 2009
Seriously,
Fuck Tony La Russa, fuck Matt Holliday, fuck Rick Ankiel.
I want them all GONE this fucking offseason.
craig3410 - October 10, 2009
I hope the Red Sox roll themselves out of the playoffs like the Cardinals are doing.
ThundaPC - October 10, 2009
I'm disappointed in the Rockies because I wanted all four series to be sweeps
Jeff Sullivan - October 10, 2009
Fuck that. All that does is make the playoffs even more boring.
That’s why the ’07 playoffs were so shitty
gregrabble - October 10, 2009
I just want these playoffs to be over as quickly as possible
Jeff Sullivan - October 10, 2009
I'm on the opposite end. This is the only way I can really get my baseball fix this month.
gregrabble - October 10, 2009
I care more about hockey than these playoffs and I hate being distracted
Jeff Sullivan - October 10, 2009
This is the boat I'm in.
Eyeball Kid - October 10, 2009
I am disappointed that we won't have four games in a row tomorrow
Jeff Sullivan - October 10, 2009
I have 0 interest in hockey. I've got football but that's just once a week
I don’t give a fuck who wins the world series as long as it isn’t the Angels, but at least it’s a form of entertainment
gregrabble - October 10, 2009
I also hate things that interfere with House
Jeff Sullivan - October 10, 2009
And House isn't even good!
Jeff Sullivan - October 10, 2009
House is pretty good. The Office and Scrubs are better though.
gregrabble - October 10, 2009
Scrubs?
Is that still on?
Sundevil78 - October 10, 2009
One more season!
gregrabble - October 10, 2009
The baseball ends and there is nothing until spring training radio
I suppose I could re-watch the 2000 MLB Japan All-Star series, or a double-bill of Curveballs along the way and Kid from Cleveland
msb - October 10, 2009
With great sexcess?
Eyeball Kid - October 10, 2009
Freudian slip
Sundevil78 - October 10, 2009
Cardinals fans are loud
Dewey N - October 10, 2009
Jason Motte has a neck as wide as his head
Dewey N - October 10, 2009
Rick Helling-esque?
msb - October 10, 2009
It's actually wider.
His facial hair makes for an opitical illusion so you don’t think he is a total mutant.
Sundevil78 - October 10, 2009
His gameday smile is cute
Dewey N - October 10, 2009
Jeff Sullivan - October 10, 2009
D'aww
Dewey N - October 10, 2009
Jeff Sullivan - October 10, 2009
He's like real-life Bluto
OlSalty - October 11, 2009
Jeff Sullivan - October 10, 2009
I am enjoying this meme and hope that you don't use it for a long time and then bust it out randomly sometime next year.
Eyebrows - October 10, 2009
Cute...
The judges would also accept “retarded” and/or “drunk”
Sundevil78 - October 10, 2009
Hey I know this flat billed guy...
Schuxu - October 10, 2009
PearPearPear
msb - October 10, 2009
Love the Pear!
section331 - October 10, 2009
That commercial makes me want to throw my Blackberry on THE GROUND!!!
Sundevil78 - October 10, 2009
Throw it on the ground over here
msb - October 10, 2009
In a Yankees vs. Angels ALCS
Who do you root for? I don’t think I will be able to get any enjoyment at all from that series.
Snowman1025 - October 10, 2009
Sawx
gregrabble - October 10, 2009
Yankees
For the Yankees v. Dodgers World Series!
Sundevil78 - October 10, 2009
I cannot stress enough how much I'd like that to not happen.
Eyeball Kid - October 10, 2009
Yankees Yankees Yankees!
Jeff Sullivan - October 10, 2009
Only if you promise me that they will be sadly humiliated by Torre's Dodgers
msb - October 10, 2009
Yankees.
but yeah, as soon as the Cards and Twins go out I couldn’t give a fuck. As long as it’s not the Angels.
Eyeball Kid - October 10, 2009
Angels
Dont want the Yankees to win.
Schuxu - October 10, 2009
I've gone to more Yankees games than any other team and I quite like the players on the Yankees
Dewey N - October 10, 2009
And fuck the Angels
Dewey N - October 10, 2009
Angels, it's their last year of success before they don't win an AL West in 10 years.
I want their fans to lose the World Series and then never see the playoffs again.
lailaihei - October 10, 2009
I like that way of thinking.
Schuxu - October 10, 2009
Yankees
I’d rather root for an NL team to beat the Yankees.
ThundaPC - October 10, 2009
Yankees
Aaron Campeau - October 10, 2009
Go Angels!
Poochie - October 10, 2009
A run!
go Cards!
Eyeball Kid - October 10, 2009
So how many Ex-Ms showed up in this game?
Schuxu - October 10, 2009
LaRue had a list of all the ex-Ms in the postseason
a few days ago
msb - October 10, 2009
Thanks!
Schuxu - October 10, 2009
So only Weaver is missing so far for this game.
Schuxu - October 10, 2009
I completely forgot about Chris Woodward.
Eyeball Kid - October 10, 2009
C'mon Cardinals! Extras!
Give Ethier a chance at the cycle!
msb - October 10, 2009
They're in "slam range"
Sundevil78 - October 10, 2009
Gay
Eyeball Kid - October 10, 2009
And there's Jeff Weaver, right in the center of the celebration.
ThundaPC - October 10, 2009
I would like to see the Dodgers win the World Series so Red Sox fans have more to bitch about.
Wilder. - October 10, 2009
Oh whoops.
The reason is because of Manny.
Wilder. - October 10, 2009
I called the Padillia shutdown and the manner in which he would accomplish said shutdown!
Poochie - October 10, 2009
Can't help it
laxtonto - October 10, 2009
Thief!
Eyebrows - October 10, 2009
I will treat this as flattery.
Eyebrows - October 10, 2009
going to be the last chance to use it
I don’t expect to see it again unless he pitches in the AL (unlikely) or is around for an inter league matchup vs. the M’s
laxtonto - October 10, 2009
Well that had to be rather embarassing for Cardinal fans.
First yesterday’s events, then getting dominated by Vicente freaking Padilla in route to getting swept out of the first round? Ouch.
Goose - October 10, 2009
It must have been ruff for some LLers.
CapSea - October 10, 2009
Nope, not embarrasing
Poochie - October 10, 2009
Ah, the old Idiot Runs Onto the Field
