I'm the only one who's happy about this...
Are not!
Yay!

I am watching this with a friend who is a Red Sox fan – we are finally both on the same side.

What an odd feeling that must be.
It is kinda weird...
Did that guy have a fucking vetriloquist's dummy?
Even Joe Buck said "Really?"
It amused me that the subject wasn't pursued any further on air.
I hate the fact that at this point I want the Yankees to win the World Series

and can’t figure out why it is that I actually feel myself actively rooting for them deep down

Go NL!
I don't know why but I can't bring myself to root for the Phillies...maybe if Moyer were on the roster it would be different

And the Dodgers…well…my Dad’s an old-school Reds fan so I’ve been brought up to dislike that team because of the old Reds-Brooklyn Dodgers rivalry

and dear God there is no way I would root for the Angels

Which leaves the Yankees!

I know it's not the popular opinion around here

but I’ve always liked Raul so I’m going Phillies.

Basically, as soon as the Twins went out it was NL all the way.

I was pro-Twins too

I went
1. Twins
2. Cardinals
3. Yankees
4. Phillies
5. Rockies
6. Dodgers
7/8 please just kill me

and I like Raul, and I like the Phillies, but I can’t root for them to win for some reason.

I think it’s because they won last year.

I have no idea why I’m rooting for the Yankees- some internal force is making me do it, but it makes as little sense to me as it does to you

I can understand that

I have no love for St Louis, but wanted the Cards to win, just because I felt they should. This game is strange sometimes.

I'm pretty sure

It means you have cancer.

Yep, he's broken.
Then I can use the Make-a-Wish foundation to wish for a Yankee win?
No.

Absolutely not.

Cano looks cold
YES!!!

NO PUN INTENDED

Who put the Extract of Retard

In the Angels’ Gatorade?

The Make-a-Wish Foundation
They're coming for YOU!
Joe Saunders face is saying "I'm here to serve your insurance needs".

What the heck is up with the pictures, is it just this season or has it been this way for awhile?

There was a certain photographer

That did a lot of the photos this year – if there is a sort of weird shadow to them, or the player’s face looks a little fisheye/distorted, it’s her work (I’m pretty sure it was a woman). There was something about it on a Tigers’ blog at the beginning of the season.

Looking at Saunders

I don’t think she did his, but she definitely did Burnett’s.

C.C. Sabathia is my favorite, KC Royals are the goofiest.
I would not purchase insurance from that fellow

He has no gold teeth

Um...

The proper word is “teef”.

ATTA BOY CAPTAIN YANK
What'd he do?

I have hockey on.

Opposite field home run.
I hate that that's good news right now :(
I'm still not sure that it is.
How was Joe Buck so restrained on that call?
I figure if I start drinking now

The loss won’t have that much of an effect…

Oh Aybar, you delightfully DeBarge looking fucker!
I once got him and Ervin Santana confused

It’s the hair.

Ohhhh no you di'int
SINGLE HIM HOME
Hit it, Bobby.
Not too hard though!
Little bit hard.
Like... dinger hard.
How does that help extras!?
I'm not bewildered extras! is one word
I predict another Yankees run
But that would make a score of 4-3
A walk does you no good here way to swing Bobby
Whose birthday is it today, Torii? Yours?
Vlad time

Time to prove he’s the man.

Oh, this is killin' me!
Come on Vlad, pretend it's Campillo
HAHAHAHAHA Angels Baseball!
Come on cruise mode
AND WE ARE TIED!

YES!

Well that was rather wussy by Vlad.
"He's from Virginia so he's used to the cold weather"

Also, cold bodies

WAY TO MAKE ME MISS THAT, STUPID PUPPY
GODDAMMIT SAUNDERS KEEP THE HITS DOWN
THIS GAME IS STUPID. :P
Clutch DP there, Del.
They sound so disappointed that a call went against the Yankees.
SIT DOWN JOHNNY!

YANKEES FAIL!

I have a friend who has a dog

That, like Swisher, can’t seem to keep its tongue in its mouth…

Come on Eyebrows, mash one.
Keep the tie going!
That was a fun play!
It sure was!
And another scoreless inning!
The Black Jack Taco commercials are very entrancing and I now wish to purchase many Black Jack Tacos
I just want more shoes...
Me too, a little.
Actually no, maybe I just want a regular taco.
The black ones scare me
COME ON NAPS
Is that an order?

because I don’t even know the guy.

No, just a suggestion.
Then I'll pass.

He looks busy anyway.

"Jeter's critics are now silent and buried in a five foot hole under a rock in a cave somewhere"

God McCarver is a fuck butt, it was a 320 foot homer for shit’s sake

And then McCarver talking up Jeter's defense
Yeah, I heard that too

What a douchebag. Because of one home run, sure. :p

To right field in the new Yankee stadium

In most parks that’s probably caught

It was routine flyballish
Oh shit come on bring in Joba
Tie game vs. Rivera is the perfect recipe for a duces-all nirvana
Make em pay, Bobby!
For something!
Perhaps you have a history with this pitcher, who knows?
Bad blood maybe? Think back!
He used to be a Yankee?
He might like pepsi better!
Boooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!
WOOOOOOOO PHILCOKE
If Cody Ransom were to throw a scoreless inning he'd probably gain the support of the Yankee faithful
Who's Cody Ransom?
x

Well, he's adorable. Looks bald though. And his uniform sucks.
The Yankees have the most hideous uniforms in baseball
You're not wrong.
I love being not wrong
He is not on the playoff roster I think
Son of a horseshit
OH NO HE THREW A BAD WARM UP
Come on Torri!
Come on Torii!
Yankee fans are the worst
AHHAHAHAHAHAHA FUCK YOU JETER
WHEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!
That was A-Rod's ball.
VLADDY VLADDY VLADDY
Please....
He's gonna hit a pitch below his ankles out of the ballpark.
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Is he your daddy?
I refuse to refer to him as Big Daddy Vladdy.
We need rules that for catchers to stay in the catcher's box
EEP!

C’mon you duct tape and twigs motherfucker….

YES SIT DOWN BITCH
SON OF A B ITCH!!!!
BLARGHALAHARGLEE
I made a similar sound...
FUCKITY FUCK FUCK FUCK
Vlad is so old
WHY THE FUCK DO YOU ALL WANT THE ANGELS TO WIN??
We hashed this out in the Poll thread, did we not?

Some members of this community would prefer a Yankees win, some of us prefer the Angels.

Yeah I know but it seems like everyone who's commenting is for the Angels
They had a Regan style mandate in the poll
Tonight, yeah. Seems that way.
I don't

but since I’ve turned the sound on my alegiance is starting to shift.

Because the Yankees are the biggest rival in our history and we hate them and also they have won 26 World Series so fuck them
But it's the fucking Angels
But it's the fuckin Yankees
I mean, I don't like the Yankees either

But it’s the fucking Angels

I mean, I don't like the Angels either

But it’s the fucking Yankees

I see your point
But it's the fucking Angels
Both of you

GET A ROOM!

Sigh

I guess you have to be of a certain age to appreciate it

I don't know if you're actually being serious or not, but you're probably right

I’m sure the fact that I wasn’t old enough to be a big baseball fan in the 90’s has a lot to do with it. I just don’t hate the Yankees that much.

Go read the poll thread
Yeah I've read it
This is such horsedroppings
I have to agree

I was a Mariners fan during the 90’s and hate the Yankees plenty because of it but time lessens all wounds and as far as the “how much have you pissed me off lately” principle applies to this I have to root for the Yankees in this circumstance.

You weren't even there for 1996
What the fuck are you talking about?
Clearly I am trolling
I guess you were successful!
But seriously fuck the Yankees
Writing "The fucking Angels" doesn't make me feel rage or anything. They're still just the Angels.
Just the word "Angels" fills me with hatred and rage
You know I think you might have mentioned that once or three million times? I get it.
JOBA IS NOW A TRUE YANKEE YAY
JOBA IS LIKE THEIR FELIX
I thought Joba was their fat Brandon Morrow.
The truth is likely somewhere between!
If Felix was chock full o' spray cheese...
Hey, everyone!

The Sounders are going to the playoffs!!

Dammit, why couldn't Vlad's bat have flown out and taken Joba's head off?

I fucking hate that cunt.

If the Yankess had traded for Mike Cameron I would be rooting for the Yankees
How did Saunders only allow two runs?
We're getting close to the promised land!
Joe Saunders is a bitch
Not starting Posada is stupid

I guess Girardi is still bitter about losing his job to him

Putting Phil Hughes in the bullpen was a stupid move.
YES YES YES
SUCK MY BIG BLACK DICK JETER YOU FUCKING ASSHOLE
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
HAHAHA BEST SS EVER, RIGHT TIM?
Hahahahaha Itzturis looks like the spy.
No no! Pinch hit for Naps? Aw man.
This is retarded
Napoli is not so happoli today. :(
"No one I'd rather have the ball hit to in game 7, bottom of the 9th"
SAY SOMETHING TIM
Not a big fan, GMJ.
Mike could have done that.
Obviously Phil Hughes chokes in the post season and they should've traded him for Washburn.
Looks like this one is going to stay tied!
Rivera in now

New Yawk’s a-skurred!

No I do not want a taco made out of shingles
Ew.

No old chicken pox taco for you, huh?

I mean the black panels on roof tops
Ooo

Yeah, you have a point – they do look like that a little, don’t they? :/

I love the fact that

There is “Southern Barbecue” at Yankee Stadium.

We're doing it!
Go us!
One inning to go!
I think we're gonna make it!
Quit running you queen
Oh, Jeter, you hag.
He already tagged you Jeter you dumbass.
Damon should grow his hair long again
I hate this part
Lots of Rivera means lots of extras! if the Yankees don't score!
COME ON HUNTER, YOU SHITE!!!!
Is it frigging SNOWING?
My friend noticed that, too...
NO GODDAMIT NO!
YEAH MOTHERFUCKERS LET'S GO
DON'T PUT IN FUCKING FUENTES!
COME ON YOU RETARDEDLY NAMED SLAP HITTING NOBODY END IT
WHY WOULD YOU EVER WANT BASEBALL TO END
A brother's gotta watch My So Called Life sometime
If you refer to yourself as "a brother" then you most certainly do not
You are a white male
Nigga that ain't nothin' but vitiligo
Human family cockmongers
Should I make a pot of coffee?
WE MADE IT
WOOOOOOOOOO
I COULDN'T HAVE DONE IT WITHOUT YOU
YEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSS
Extra baseball!
It's worth double the price I paid!
NICK SWISHER IS GOING TO PITCH
How is this not the primetime series on Monday?
A Rod is so selfish
Izturis looks like a tiny penis.
Yeah damn those weathermen!

Always trying to ruin your fun!

Is Tim McCarver actually a Yankee fan?

If he is it seems odd that FOX would let him do the games.

LET'S GO MELK-DAWG
I'm so glad Jake Locker is good at football now.

Angels don’t get him! hahaha

McCarver surprised that a below-average CF didn't get that
Double play baby
Aww yeah sexy
WHAT KIND OF FAGGOT SHIT IS THIS
Anyone else think Girardi is an absolutely great manager?
I think he is terrible
Why? I agree with like all of his moves.
Not starting Posada was retarded
Really?

It’s not that bad…

That's funny I see MGL and I have absolutely no interest in what comes after it
Well you are both flaming dickbags
Plus I would argue you can wuantify offense much better than you can defense to err on the side of offense
You put the best lineup on the field during the playoffs and anyone who suggests otherwise is insane
Molina has hit lefties somewhat ok before

but even assuming they are even, you are still wasting bench players to pinch hit, and playing down one catcher

I think his face looks like a road map of Mars
Extra inning rain delay?
OH MAN WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS
AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
THIS SERIES IS RIGGED ROBOTS ROBOTS ROBOTS
A ROBOT WOULD HAVE MADE THE SAME CALL
A BROKEN ROBOT, MAYBE.
He didn't touch the bag!
Neither did any other second baseman

All night long.

I fail to see your point
The point is that a robot would actually call the game by the rules
No a robot would call the game how I want it called
I program the robots
Dogs can't program robots
So it is a good thing you are a person!
Cartoon dogs can
My SN suggests that I am a cartoon dog
I've met you
We are on the same softball team
Is my memory so hazy?
This means nothing

Those coons and their crazy based ball....
Don't know what this means but it is getting a rec and ac will explain later
I was also going to suggest that I didn't know Yuni was a movie star
Not a cartoon dog but a real dog
You obviously know nothing

About the South African Robot-Programming Dog of Johannesburg.

Erick Aybar thought that was unbelievable
Actually

He thought it was unfuckingbelievable. :D

THIS IS THE MOST FUCKED UP SHIT I HAVE EVER SEEN
UNBELIEVABLE
WHY SHOULD HE HAVE TO TOUCH THE BASE
I AM FUCKING FLUMMOXED
Nope he never touched it

He’s been doing that all night.

That's how all players ever have done it.
I realize it's a call that is usually a given but technically the ump is correct

You have to touch the bag for the runner to be out, and he didn’t.

Most people drag their foot over it.

It is absolutely retarded and the fact that it happened to the Angels is the best thing ever
Yes, yes it is.
There's "technically"

And then there’s “consistent”.

And then there is "fuck the Angels" which is what matters
THANK YOU FOR DECIDING THE GAME UMPIRE
ahahahahahahaha

oh Timmy

This will be even funnier if the angels get out of the inning
Like holding in the NFL....they call it when they need to
Just ask the Seahawks!
NO GODDAMMIT NO
Did Fuentes die?
AND THE BASEBALL JUST KEEPS GOING
BASE-BALL!

BASE-BALL!
BASE-BALL!
BASE-BALL!
BASE-BALL!
BASE-BALL!
BASE-BALL!
BASE-BALL!
BASE-BALL!
BASE-BALL!

I wish that call had decided the game.

Now it’ll take an extra sentence for every columnist/pundit to vent about phantom tags.

To what lengths will Scioscia go to avoid putting Fuentes in?
Shouldn't that be hard and HOT in his face???
Ken Rosenthal did just say

“it is coming down hard and cold in his face.”

They should send Upton here
More bad umpiring!
HIT HIM IN THE CHIN PUBES
Sooo

How bad do y’all think they’ll let things get before they call this clusterfuckery?

Did you watch the playoffs last year?
I did

But it wasn’t this late in the game….

ANGELS BABY ANGELS
YES YES YES YES YES
DIDN'T EVEN HAVE TO USE THE RALLY MONKEY
DAMMIT DAMON AND YOUR FUCKING GAY LITTLE ARM
I could barely throw the ball back to the pitcher so I have sympathy for him
That is understandable considering your species
FUCKING YES CHONE!
Looking for the local got the express

McCarver is fresh

SWEET BABY JESUS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I genuinely felt nothing just then.
Annnnnd now the game gets called due to rain
Hahaha

wouldn’t surprise me one bit.

That was codswallop

Pure codswallop

they need a Fuentes cushion
Daisy Fuentes?
Not what I meant but I guess I'd rather sit on her than him
Come on, Goddammit
Fuentes delivery is gayer than a Roman day care
Daisy Fuentes?
No Brian the pitcher that plays for the Angels
That posted twice

Once, apparently in the wrong place.

I thought you were going to do it on every mention of Fuentes.
I could

Would that make this game easier to tolerate?

Thinking about it

I’d rather you didn’t.

I'd rather I didn't, either

Good to know we’re on the same page.

ONE RUN YOU PINSTRIPED NINNIES
Time for Fuentes to end the game in some way
COME ON CLUTCH ROD
HE MAKES ME WANT TO CLUTCH MY ROD!
Rec'd for false.
Not that I was looking for an excuse to bring this up but I assure you I do have a penis
I was thinking about posting this.
Y'ALL READY FOR THIS
I bet when Fuentes really reaches back to throw some gas he makes a little "enh" sound
It's not tennis
NOW TIE IT BACK UP!
You are some kinda psychic.
OH MY GOD YES SEXTRAS!
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
RODDDDDDDDDDDDDD
AHAHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHA
ARE YOU. FUCKING. KIDDING. ME.
JESUS. FUCKING. CHRIST.
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
MORE BASEBALL!
I can't say I am upset!
MADGE IS GETTIN' THE BIG O TONIGHT
He's sleeping with someone else now
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
WHO SAYS A-ROD ISN'T CLUTCH
We'll never have to read an "A-Rod chokes in October" story again!
The A-Rod redemption stories will be just as annoying!
I'm sure the media will find a way to give credit to Jeter somehow.
"Jeter gives back rub that enables Rodriguez to hit solo home run.
I CANT BELIEVE IT

Buck Showalter told me before the series that the Angels would win because they had a left handed closer. HOW COULD HE BE WRONG?!?!

BECAUSE SAID CLOSER WAS TRADED FOR JEFF FUCKING CIRILLO

SO HE MUST SUCK

I LOVE YOU A-ROD
Rooting for the Yankees feels so weird.
Just root against the Angels

it works for me.

These are the dirtiest exxxtras I've seen in some time
I want more
Until the rain drowns everyone in the stadium
So I understand rooting for the NL to win the WS

But how can any human on this site be rooting for the Angels? I can’t imagine a less likeable team

the Yankees are less likable as are the Braves Cubs and Red Sox
Red Sox and Cubs I'll give you

but why the Yankees and braves?

How could you not hate the Yankees?

How could you not hate the Braves in the 90s? The chop, the arrogant borrrring southern announcers, Chipper Jones, Dave Justice, Steve Avery bllllleeeeccccchhhhh

I like all that stuff though

Arrogant southern announcers and chop are things I like

Yes but you have retarded tastes in everything
and the chop is clearly racist
The chop is racist in the eyes of a few loud people but not in the eyes of millions of quiet who don't give a shit

And yes, my tastes are retarded

No its actually racist and that's not changed because a million racists think its not racist
Not every single Native American has said "OMG THATZ RACIST"

Actually like 95% haven’t said anything

99% actually
It's racist in the eyes of everyone who knows what a stereotype is

But yay, let’s celebrate the fact that so many people don’t.

Including those of the race allegedly being offended!
STC
I am glad to have witnessed yet another Corco subthread.
It's been at least 5 months

I’ve been almost completely inactive

And yet

I am somehow around whenever these arguments spring up.

They're all too busy being drunk and gambling to care amirite
I hate the Braves more than the Yankees
Yankees and Red Sox are both less likable.
But the Angels represent everything that is wrong in the world

Sure, the Red Sox are worse…but how are the Yankees worse than the Angels?

The only way I could ever root for the Yankees is if they are playing the Red Sox.
The Angels are evil though

Southern Californae and what not

Anaheim specifically
Los Angeles of Anaheim really specifically.
GO BASEBALL GO
Evil hasn't won since 2000

They’re due

By this reference of evil I mean the Yankees

GO YANKS!

And yes, rooting for Derek Jeter does make me feel soul-less
This ALCS is awesome because it's the only time LL ever disagrees about anything baseball related
And it's the first playoff game that has actually put out
You forgot the Twins Yankeee game from last Friday
That game was somewhere between baseball and beyond baseball and doesn't count
No wait just kidding
Adrian Beltre is overrated and may be questioning his sexuality
Fuentes was really relieved from not having to face Jeter and thus let his guard down
God damn it Huskies
I feel like turning some kind of wood furniture into kindling.
Why is that?
She is cold and needs to make things hot
RC ANGRY
Why? Look at all these extras!
You're right. What am I thinking?!
What are you thinking?
What am I thinking?
I was hoping you would tell me
I want the Angels to win this one, and I'm afraid they aren't going to.
That sounds rough
It is, kind of. But I do like the baseball extras!
Seriously I hope this goes 21 innings and someone dies from exhaustion or hypothermia
And somehow they'll blame the Angels because Little Timmy died watching in the snow and rain.
This game's still going?
"It's difficult looking up at all of those raindrops and trying to find the biggest one"

-Tim McCarver.

SWISHER IS SO GOING TO PITCH!
ONE FUCKING HITTER REALLY ARGH
So, how big are the puddles on the field going to be before this one gets called
A game ending in a tie would be perfect
The Make-A-Wish Foundation is Pro-Yankee

of this I am sure

FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK

I HATE LOS ANGELES WHY NOT MAKE NEVADA A COASTAL STATE

Ahaha GMJ is such a joke
5 years/55 million!

He may be a joke but holy shit

Yes that is my point

That they are walking Maicier Izturis to get to him.

I feel good for the man

If somebody offered me $55 million over 5 years guaranteed to be a total piece of shit I would totally take it

I LOVE PLAYOFF BASEBALL BECAUSE IT MAKES MANAGERS RETARDED
YOU ARE WALKING A GUY WHO IS SUCH A PUSSY HE IS WEARING A MUFFLER
This isn't going to end well for you, GMJ.
Do you have to buy a hat of a playoff team to get Flaps!
OH GMJ STILL SUCKS
Awwwwwww, the best fans in baseball can't stand a little rain?
What a shocking development
Why haven't they cut him?
2 MORE YEARS AND 22 MILLION DOLLARS

if my calculations are correct

I'm sad because this reminds me of Silva
WHY DID A 5TH OUTFIELDER GET SO MUCH MONEY?????
I LOVE YOU BILL STONEMAN
SURELY THE YANKEES ARE RUNNING OUT OF PITCHERS
STOP ROOTING FOR THE ANGELS
I AM DOING NO SUCH THING
GOOD
I AM
THAT IS INCORRECT AND SHOULD BE RECTIFIED IMMEDIATELY
No.
Yes, actually

Los Angeles is an evil city. Beyond that, the LAAoA have won a World Series more recently than New York

Do you think you're going to convince me to change my mind about who I'm rooting for?

By giving me your opinion on Los Angeles? Sorry, no.

Then I am sad for you and your people

You will soon be disappointed

What do you mean "you people"?
Thanks for the advice.
Los Angeles isn't evil and it isn't the problem here.

It’s Anaheim.

We agree then but for completely different reasons

Either way I cherish the rarity

According to Gameday,

they still have Gaudin, Pettitte, and Sabathia.

those are starters
Indeed, that's why this is all so grand!
ANGELS ARE RUNNING OUT OF PITCHERS!
Not really
Is he not their third starter?
Yes
Does that no mean they are running short?
If they lose tonight, they probably won't need a fourth starter.

Have Santana go tonight, Lackey go on a day less rest, the Angels are good to go.

I thought it was Scott Kazmir
Good lord, you are all still here?

there is still a game going on????

Whorehey will hit the walk off
ok yeah the Yankees are screwed in terms of pitching
Where's my Santana fastball update?!?!?!?
Jeff is really screwing the pooch on this one
Abreu must have asthma or a torn hamstring
He's just not a good outfielder.
I think Derek Jeter is going to hit a dinger to win this
That would be fucking insufferable.
They should walk him to prevent it
As long as it doesn't win the series it is somewhat tolerable.
Why is the 'I' in pie in red?
"pieing the captain?"

Clearly this is a sex act and Derek Jeter is a homosexual

Bernie Baseball is likely involved.

I’m waiting for Bernie and Batista to collaborate musically.

Way to corkscrew yourself in the ground skid pants
Fucking Aybar
It really doesn't get good until the 13th
Run slower, Posada
This has really not been a good series for Aybar at all
It just occurred to me that I am disappointed that Aybar wasn't hopping mad earlier
Walk to Tex, another A-Rod HR to win it
Jeter gets the credit for scoring the winning run.
I've got a bad feeling about this
This shit just got real.
They should walk him and pitch to that no good choker Gay-Roid
Seems they are taking my advice
What happened to Bernie Williams?
The year is 2009
They are pitching around Tex.
WHY WOULD YOU DO THAT
OH MY...

HERE WE GO

What in the flying fuck

Why would you pitch around Teixera to get to A-Rod?

And god damn I want the Angels to lose even but that’s retarded.

Platoon advantage plus short porch in RF
Alright I guess that makes a little more sense, but Arod's splits don't really dictate that.
Because he has none
Santana's do
But I think it might be negated by not being able to issue a walk
My blood pressure can't take this.
Juuuuuuuust missed it
WHAT A FUCKING CHOKER
NO GOOD FUCKING HOMO CHOKER CHOKED
STUPID PAY-FRAUD GO BACK TO SEATTLE

oh wait…that would be awesome

I like how they stuck with him for two fucks
WHEW I thought for a second he had become clutch
Should have stepped into the pitch and taken one for the team.
I want the Angels to win on a hilarious Jeter error
Hilarious A-Rod error would be fun, too.
If the Angels have to win, this is how I want them to do that
How about a reenactment of the 2001 ALDS where instead of Jeter redirecting the throw, he shoves the catcher out of the way to take the throw and gets creamed while dropping the ball?
Is there a video of this online anywhere?
No

<img src="http://i27.tinypic.com/xf89dw.jpghttp://i27.tinypic.com/xf89dw.jpg"/>

No

I miss that scoreboard graphic

Legibility was so nice

I want this game to hit 30 innings

Because that would mean that Jerry Hairston is actually an awesome pitcher

Aw, butterfingers.
%#*&*#@&$!(@37(!@*#&(!
Jose Lopez makes that play!
Trade

Lopez for Cano

Do it, Cashman.

Yuniesky fucking Betancourt makes that play
Come on, Chone. Choo choo!
Okay now I really can't decide who I want to win this
When is Napoli due up?
bahahahaha

ooops

He was replaced a few innings ago. Bummer, I know
That is beyond moronic
I don't get the rationale for that move at all.
As per previous subthreads I'm dying from cancer

the Make-A-Wish Foundation made that happen for me

Again, I question the rationale for that move
I'm rooting for the Yankees

I told the Make-A-Wish foundation to make sure they won this series

They apparently are complying

THAT was your wish?!

Wow, mean luck, dude…

Last Yankee pitcher warming up!
After Gaudin they have no one!
No one but Nick Swisher!
Even Swish! isn't an option!
What why not?
Because Jeter is better

and Swisher was pulled

CO-DY RAN-SOM

CLAP CLAP CLAPCLAPCLAP

So I have a party to go to

and if this game is going to go on forever I just assume watch position players

Make it happen, Joe Torre

*position players pitch
Joe Torre?
Joe Torre is the manager of the New York Yankees last time I checked
Joe Torre is the manager of the Dodgers.
what
Big Yankees fan, huh.
Not at all

I just find myself inexplicably attracted to them

Like I said- rooting for Jeter makes me doubt I have a soul

AHAHAHAHAHA
Managers are stupid and I don't care to pay attention to who is managing who
...

REALLY?

am I missing something?
Joe Torre manages the Dodgers.

Joe Girardi manages the Yankees. This has been the case for two years.

Now I feel like an idiot
Well you should
Yeah, i guess

I may be wasted right now but that is still quite embarassing

I meant it as more of a general state of being for you

But I guess in a drunken state is progress

You should

especially since we talked about Girardi earlier

do you think I read every single comment?

I’d be dead of herpes by now if I did

Maybe this is the 2001 playoffs.
Certainly he has managed in the playoffs since 2001

like 2009, maybe

It's not like you to live in the past
It is but what
Torre has been the Dodgers manager since late 2007.
Oh. Late, sorry
Now I feel like an idiot
Aw! No injury!

Horseapples

HOLY SHIT HE LOOKED AT THE GUY ON THIRD HIS COCK IS MADE OF GOLD WHAT A PLAYER
No one does that anymore
RIGHT AT THIRD, TOO. LOOKED RIGHT THERE
HIS BALLS WEIGH 750 LBS EACH
IT MAKES HIS HUSTLE SO MUCH MORE AMAZING
THOSE ARE SOME HEAVY BALLS
YESSSSSSSSSSSS
BAM!!

I LOVE YOU A-ROD

Oh Vladdy you are silly
I still think Michael J Fox is faking it
I want Hairston to hit a dinger so bad.
For the love of GOD.
NO RANSOM????

FUCKING BULLSHIT

There's only one play here?

To bunt? This is the fucking AL, not the NL.

In this situation it makes sense
With a shit hitter
They don't even do that in the NL
Obvious walk coming
Please be over
Shut your whore mouth
Well no more game, but at least a good ending
AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
At least that was a fun way for the Angels to lose
Wow what fucking ridiculous decision.
YANKEES BASEBALL!
YANKEES ENTERTAINMENT STATION!!! YANKEES ENTERTAINMENT STATION!!! YANKEES ENTERTAINMENT STATION!!! YANKEES ENTERTAINMENT STATION!!! YANKEES ENTERTAINMENT STATION!!!
I LOVE NEW YORK
Just take the out at first you stupid asshole
I STILL HATE YOU JETER
Joba gives good hugs.
It's a shame the people he's hugging don't have sharp edges.
Perhaps you forgot about Jessica Biel.
BUT THE ANGELS MADE THE LEAST AMOUNT OF ERRORS IN 2009!

THIS CAN’T HAPPEN TO THEM

IF YOU WERE ROOTING FOR THE ANGELS YOU WERE ROOTING AGAINST PUPPIES ANYWAY

SO BE HAPPY

Um, the New York Yankees aren't puppies. They're a baseball team.
THEY MAKE PHILANTRHOPIC DONATIONS TO ANIMAL SHELTERS
Like every other baseball team.
Wow, I didn't see that Figgins bobble at first.

Replay. Wow.

Yeah they might have had him
FUCKING BRAINDEAD LATIN HOMOS
Oh well the cut off the end
And the Yankees win on an error

Well that kind of makes sense, SHIT!

Why Scott Hairston?

Shouldn’t Izturis get the pie in the face?

Scott Hairston is an Oakland Athletic!

So yeah, that makes no sense

Thanks, shitface.
You sir are welcome
You're too kind to be drunk posting.
I'm a nice drunk
Except for all the blatantly racist, non-ironic posts
I come from a family of racists

We’re nice racists that love people though

THESE THINGS ARE MUTUALLY EXCLUSIVE
Clearly you have never been around Corcorans

or you would realize that this is not the case

I have spent way too much of my life around people that think like you
Also my irony is unfortunately sometimes undetectably subtle
I'm not really convinced you're trying to be ironic, sorry.
And I have made more racist comments than you ever will

Yet I think the difference is clear?

That was a shit pie-in-the-face.
The new version of A Rod!
The 98 Yankees and 07 Red Sox lost their extra-inning ALCS Game 2's

and won the WS, so the fact that these Yankees won theirs clearly means they won’t.

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS
That might of been the funnest Yankees game I have ever seen.

And quite possibly the most hilarious. The A-Rod homer and the way it ended for the Angels was fucking perfect!
