So if and when the M's get back to the post season, will Niehaus be able to cover the game in any fashion?
I was listening to a bit of the game on the radio last night, it might have been McCarver. It really struck me, it was pretty much a talk radio sports show about how his feelings and opinions on advanced stats, with a baseball game interrupting the conversation. Really really terrible baseball game coverage.
the guys who run the blog are good dudes and post some decent commentary. But game threads are hard to follow because people reply fail, don’t use the subject line, and do that +1 shit.
the other RickO’Reilly has a column on the lack of shyness among unclothed athletes, with the immortal line
“Other guys, though, would make excellent nudist camp directors. I’m still not sure I’ve ever seen Yankees outfielder Johnny Damon clothed while walking through a clubhouse. The man is naked more often than Michelangelo’s David. "
“I wouldn’t just say that he’s inoffensive, but that I actively enjoy listening to him. He may botch the odd call and like the word “fisted” even more than Dan Savage does, but his work bears no trace of the smarminess and self-worship that mars that of so many of his peers, and if he gushes it always seems to be out of high enthusiasm for the game"
I don't even dislike him as a person. I think the media makes him look way worse than he really is. He's just socially retarded; his intentions are good...
Reember a couple of years ago when Alex got off to the good start, and Kelley wrote the column about how he was finally a Yankee and then it all went to hell in a hand-basket?
Instead of those six million people going through that, I’d rather if it had been the 25 members of the yankees experiencing it 240,000 times over each.
in the GTE here, but this is over the line. Most of my wife’s family died in the Holocaust and there are a hell of a lot of things that should’ve happened “instead” of the Holocaust.
If you want to keep on, that’s your choice. I just wanted to say my piece. I guess I just feel that if politics is off the board then maybe the Holocaust could be too. This is not a community of one, so if others don’t agree, I understand.
Politics are banned because they're so divisive. It's the same with religion.
Everyone here agrees that the Holocaust was an immense travesty. That’s why I found it okay to joke about – everyone knows it was beyond terrible, and so there’s little risk of anyone thinking I was serious.
I want to make Pentagon Bombing jokes taboo since I was sort of related to somebody that died there even though I never meet them and have no idea if they are either male or female.
An inning opening double changes the inning completely. If you look at it like earned runs do and assume (moronically) that the rest of the inning would have played out exactly as it did, they score 1-2 runs (1 is obvious – 2 is they took second when Mauer scored from second on that single to right).
Phil Cuzzi – Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
On October 9, 2009 Phil Cuzzi made a blatant mistake on a fair/foul call in the 11th inning on the ALDS (Minnesota Twins @ New York Yankees). …

Ron Darling on whether Joba should start or relieve in the ALCS (paraphrased)
“Well if he pitches well here there’s no reason why you would change his role.”
Presumably, Darling also believes that if Joba doesn’t pitch well here, they shouldn’t then give him more innings.
Just say he should relieve. Express your thoughts.

Not a Yankees fan, but A-Rod is awesome and I hate the Angels and Red Sox more. So that home run was fucking awesome.
BrettJMiller - October 9, 2009
Screw A-Rod.
Don’t cheer for baseball players just because they’re good.
katal - October 9, 2009
I don't even dislike him as a person. I think the media makes him look way worse than he really is. He's just socially retarded; his intentions are good...
BrettJMiller - October 9, 2009
I think he's a massive tool but he's probably no more of a massive tool than other professional athletes
he just has a much, much higher profile.
Aaron Campeau - October 10, 2009
Talking dogs don't exist
Dewey N - October 9, 2009
For a long time I thought you two were the same person.
katal - October 9, 2009
Wait hold on how is A Rod allowed to do that?
Dewey N - October 9, 2009
The Twins better win damnit.
w00tah - October 9, 2009
Go Cardinals!
Poochie - October 9, 2009
Not playing today!
bluemax - October 9, 2009
Wait wut
Poochie - October 9, 2009
So you've decided to jump onto the Cardinals bandwagon now?
Dewey N - October 9, 2009
Yes now that they're the underdog
Poochie - October 9, 2009
Everybody loves the Cardinals now
Dewey N - October 9, 2009
I'd rather see the Rox in the WS but that's just me.
lailaihei - October 9, 2009
They had their shot.
katal - October 9, 2009
Rox and Cards are pretty close on teams I want to win the WS though.
By far less annoying than the other 5 options, and the Twins are fucked so there’s no reason to root for them.
lailaihei - October 9, 2009
If there is some way for the Dodgers to win
and Manny to look horrible I am all for it.
Rich Langford - October 9, 2009
Second'd.
katal - October 9, 2009
He's sucked for a month or so.
bluemax - October 9, 2009
Reember a couple of years ago when Alex got off to the good start, and Kelley wrote the column about how he was finally a Yankee and then it all went to hell in a hand-basket?
I want that to happen again.
msb - October 9, 2009
Friends don't let friends read Steve Kelley.
katal - October 9, 2009
I don't even know who that is.
royalcurve - October 9, 2009
Columnist for the Seattle Times.
Here’s Deadspin’s take on him.
katal - October 9, 2009
Sigh.
Eyeball Kid - October 9, 2009
What I love is that after agitating for his return for a decade, Kelley is now ready to shoo Griff out of town ...
msb - October 9, 2009
aaaahhhhh, were than were so.
here
msb - October 9, 2009
Thanks you two.
royalcurve - October 9, 2009
I hear rumors of a Play-Rod Dinger
Robert - October 9, 2009
The Play part of Play-Rod is short for Playoffs
Robert - October 9, 2009
I thought it was because he's a baseball player.
katal - October 9, 2009
I thought it was a joke about masturbation
Dewey N - October 9, 2009
I could have been trying to spell Notclutch-Rod but my brain had one of its moments.
Robert - October 9, 2009
No because I just came up with this.
Robert - October 9, 2009
Posada is perhaps my most hated Yankee.
Eyeball Kid - October 9, 2009
I wish all of the world's burn victims could focus all their pain towards the yankees.
katal - October 9, 2009
Six million people died in the Holocaust.
Instead of those six million people going through that, I’d rather if it had been the 25 members of the yankees experiencing it 240,000 times over each.
katal - October 9, 2009
No the Jews were good enough
Robert - October 9, 2009
I know there's a lot of leeway
in the GTE here, but this is over the line. Most of my wife’s family died in the Holocaust and there are a hell of a lot of things that should’ve happened “instead” of the Holocaust.
StuHamm - October 9, 2009
I'm saying I wish her family hadn't gone through it. Read more carefully.
katal - October 9, 2009
I understand you perfectly.
StuHamm - October 9, 2009
I don't like you.
katal - October 9, 2009
All I said was your comment was over the line...
StuHamm - October 9, 2009
Katal is kinda a big deal around here.
Robert - October 9, 2009
Clue me in.
StuHamm - October 9, 2009
You also chose where the line was.
The rule here typically is that you can’t make one subject taboo without starting on a very slippery slope.
Plus, GTE is GTE.
katal - October 9, 2009
I totally get that.
If you want to keep on, that’s your choice. I just wanted to say my piece. I guess I just feel that if politics is off the board then maybe the Holocaust could be too. This is not a community of one, so if others don’t agree, I understand.
StuHamm - October 9, 2009
Politics are banned because they're so divisive. It's the same with religion.
Everyone here agrees that the Holocaust was an immense travesty. That’s why I found it okay to joke about – everyone knows it was beyond terrible, and so there’s little risk of anyone thinking I was serious.
katal - October 9, 2009
I'll ban a Holocaust denier but I just can't draw the line under something that clearly wasn't meant to be taken seriously
Jeff Sullivan - October 9, 2009
Understood.
StuHamm - October 9, 2009
There's really no way to say that without me sounding like a giant tool
Jeff Sullivan - October 9, 2009
Sounds like a good opportunity to talk about your penis
OlSalty - October 9, 2009
Will I get banned for denying that Jeff's penis is as big as people say it is?
Robert - October 9, 2009
Apologies for driving the conversation towards your penis...
unless you planned it that way all along
StuHamm - October 9, 2009
We'll never know!
Jeff Sullivan - October 9, 2009
YOU DID
Dewey N - October 9, 2009
I want to make Pentagon Bombing jokes taboo since I was sort of related to somebody that died there even though I never meet them and have no idea if they are either male or female.
Robert - October 9, 2009
Is your wife reading?
Jeff Sullivan - October 9, 2009
Nice throw, Joe.
ThundaPC - October 9, 2009
He's just not ready for the big time. Not yet.
That’s what separates a star like Joe Mauer from a yankee like Jorge Posada or Brett Gardner.
katal - October 9, 2009
The Tigers made the playoffs after all!
drblacknwhite - October 9, 2009
What the fuck was that?
gregrabble - October 9, 2009
You stupid cunt.
Eyeball Kid - October 9, 2009
Why do bands cover the Beatles?
You’re not going to do the song any better. Focus your efforts elsewhere.
katal - October 9, 2009
Joe Cocker made With A Little Help From My Friends better
Poochie - October 9, 2009
But then the Wonder Years went and drove his version into the ground.
katal - October 9, 2009
I agree
Dewey N - October 9, 2009
Hey has anyone realized this game went to extras?
Dewey N - October 9, 2009
Is two out the last three for the Twins some sort of record?
Robert - October 9, 2009
I want to be a Twins fan
Dewey N - October 9, 2009
Every game they play seems exciting
Robert - October 9, 2009
I have vivid memories of at least 4 of our games against them from this season.
You’re totally right; the Twins are an exciting team!
katal - October 9, 2009
HOLY SHIT
Dewey N - October 9, 2009
GO TWINS
Dewey N - October 9, 2009
Sweet!
ThundaPC - October 9, 2009
HAHAHAHAHAHA
gregrabble - October 9, 2009
YES HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
Slurvey - October 9, 2009
Whoo-hoo!
drblacknwhite - October 9, 2009
WOOOO! PLAYOFFS!
w00tah - October 9, 2009
WOOOOOO!
Eyeball Kid - October 9, 2009
Go Twins!
Robert - October 9, 2009
Go 30 innings!
Dewey N - October 9, 2009
Amazing
Jeff Sullivan - October 9, 2009
Joey Joe Joe is gonna do it
Jeff Sullivan - October 9, 2009
I wonder which Joe I mean
Jeff Sullivan - October 9, 2009
Joe Girardi was my guess
Dewey N - October 9, 2009
Suck it Twins
Dewey N - October 9, 2009
THEY HAVE UMPS EXACTLY FOR THAT REASON
drblacknwhite - October 9, 2009
Outfield umps...
drblacknwhite - October 9, 2009
Ummm that was fair...
lailaihei - October 9, 2009
FUCK YOU UMP!
Slurvey - October 9, 2009
FUCKING UMPIRES
kentroyals5 - October 9, 2009
Fucking hell that's abysmal officiating.
Eyeball Kid - October 9, 2009
Yeah he was right on top of it and still blew the call!
Sundevil78 - October 9, 2009
Robots...?
gregrabble - October 9, 2009
That was a horrible call.
It wasn’t even close. My two-year-old gets that one right.
JLProck - October 9, 2009
I understand an umpires job can be difficult in some situations
That was not one of them.
edddgar - October 9, 2009
Hit his glove too
kentroyals5 - October 9, 2009
Go Twins!
Dewey N - October 9, 2009
The Twins should be winning right now.
Eyeball Kid - October 9, 2009
Inside the park double
gregrabble - October 9, 2009
Four singles make a run!
Dewey N - October 9, 2009
It is hard to get three straight hits and not score a run!
Rich Langford - October 9, 2009
Wow both teams seem to be getting very lucky on defense
Dewey N - October 9, 2009
It's so obvious that these teams want to play as long as possible
Robert - October 9, 2009
Look at 'em, they LOVE it!
section331 - October 9, 2009
Dissapointing.
w00tah - October 9, 2009
What the fuck
Dewey N - October 9, 2009
I love Twins baseball
Dewey N - October 9, 2009
We should become Twins fans as our next meme
Robert - October 9, 2009
That meme has been happening already
Dewey N - October 9, 2009
Oh, for the love of fuck
Can we just end this shit with a dinger and get it over with. Minnesota?! HELLLOOOO?!
section331 - October 9, 2009
That was fucking great!
Sundevil78 - October 9, 2009
Twins pulled a Mariners.
w00tah - October 9, 2009
This game makes me hate the Yankees even more.
JLProck - October 9, 2009
No Holocaust jokes here
But I still agree with you.
katal - October 9, 2009
And fuck Carlos Gomez, too.
JLProck - October 9, 2009
Well to be fair, Mauer had to get 2 hits and the Twins should be ahead.
lailaihei - October 9, 2009
Fuck the Yankees
Wilder. - October 9, 2009 via mobile
HOLY SHIT
Dewey N - October 9, 2009
CAP'N CLUTCH
Dewey N - October 9, 2009
Rats.
ThundaPC - October 9, 2009
...I hate the Yankees.
w00tah - October 9, 2009
Fuckity fuck fuck
Wilder. - October 9, 2009 via mobile
WHAT THE FUCK
Slurvey - October 9, 2009
Yup..I'd enjoy the Yankees not winning the World Series please.
kentroyals5 - October 9, 2009
Of course.
drblacknwhite - October 9, 2009
Of course.
Eyeball Kid - October 9, 2009
Wow I bet the Twins will feel really gassed after this game.
Robert - October 9, 2009
How many pitchers do you think they'll have for the next game?
Dewey N - October 9, 2009
Since their season is already over I bet they will try something zany at the end of game 3.
Robert - October 9, 2009
FUCK YOU, YANKEES!
FUCK BABE RUTH, JOE DIMAGGIO, LOU GEHRIG, AND ALL THE OTHER DOUCHEBAG LEGENDS YOU’VE HAD!
JLProck - October 9, 2009
Now that Jeter's got Gehrig's record
I hope he gets his disease too.
Eyeball Kid - October 9, 2009
I think it'd be great if Jeter was the first major leaguer to acquire the Swine Flu.
And not some bullshit low-end case, but a really, really, really, reeeeaaally bad case of it.
JLProck - October 9, 2009
Fuck this
I blame the retarded left field ump
gregrabble - October 9, 2009
Good place to start.
kentroyals5 - October 9, 2009
Then you can move on to Carlos Gomez and the rest of the anemic Twins hitters that couldn't score a run when the bases were loaded and no one was out.
JLProck - October 9, 2009
And Joe Nathan blowing it in the 9th.
drblacknwhite - October 9, 2009
Delmon Young hit a smoking line drive
Jeff Sullivan - October 9, 2009
I missed that part.
I only saw them load the bases with no outs, then missed some and came back to see Carlos Gomez hack at the first pitch.
JLProck - October 9, 2009
The Yankees bought that win!! They bought it!
kentroyals5 - October 9, 2009
Baseball doesn't need instant replay.
Are you fucking kidding me. How that kind of thing could happen and cost the twins the game is just beyond me. How can Bud Selig justify that?
Give me a fucking break.
killer_ewok18 - October 9, 2009 via mobile
2 challenges a game!
But you can do as many HR replays as you want!
Slurvey - October 9, 2009
Cost the Twins the game?
Jeff Sullivan - October 9, 2009
Possibly.
An inning opening double changes the inning completely. If you look at it like earned runs do and assume (moronically) that the rest of the inning would have played out exactly as it did, they score 1-2 runs (1 is obvious – 2 is they took second when Mauer scored from second on that single to right).
Llewdor - October 9, 2009
I like how Mark Teixeira sounds
Dewey N - October 9, 2009
He can go Tech share-a needle with an aids patient
OlSalty - October 9, 2009
Or stop by Josh Hamilton's for the after party.
JLProck - October 9, 2009
Who knew this would be A-Rod and Tex's coming out post season. Fuck them
Wilder. - October 9, 2009 via mobile
Well that fucking sucked
OlSalty - October 9, 2009
Yankee fever!
Jeff Sullivan - October 9, 2009
The Dodgers better fucking win the World Series
Wilder. - October 9, 2009 via mobile
I would just love Teixeira clubhouse with those guys right now
Jeff Sullivan - October 9, 2009
How did this comment go unnoticed?
Bringing back a golden meme
edddgar - October 9, 2009
I noticed it, but refused to acknowledge it, out of spite.
msb - October 9, 2009
But sheep...
Wilder. - October 10, 2009
RSN seems to be out in full force
Good going Anaheim.
Robert - October 9, 2009
It's the battle of the douchebag fans.
Duh Nation is gonna win every time.
JLProck - October 9, 2009
Douche-off!
section331 - October 9, 2009
I see the Angels as the dancing guy.
Pop that collar, son!
JLProck - October 9, 2009
It IS Los Angeles, after all...
section331 - October 9, 2009
And Boston is the douchey tattoo capital of the U.S.
JLProck - October 9, 2009
True
Also, guidos!
section331 - October 9, 2009
The good news for Joe Nathan is that now there are several goats!
Jeff Sullivan - October 9, 2009
I hope the Yankees champagne themselves into Miguel Cabrera's life tonight
But for now, Go Angels!
section331 - October 9, 2009
Gotta love Wikipedia
Phil Cuzzi – Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
On October 9, 2009 Phil Cuzzi made a blatant mistake on a fair/foul call in the 11th inning on the ALDS (Minnesota Twins @ New York Yankees). …
msb - October 9, 2009
Fuck the Angels, too
Wilder. - October 9, 2009 via mobile
No! Where's Eyebrows? He'll save me!
section331 - October 9, 2009
So does this just blow over in the morning or do we see some kind of investigation into MLB umpiring?
oc - October 9, 2009
They'll just keep promoting Umpire Camps
Only a month away!
ThundaPC - October 9, 2009
I think it's already been forgotten
OlSalty - October 9, 2009
Cuz dingers!
OlSalty - October 9, 2009
Mmmmit is high... it is far... it is...
GAHN!
oc - October 9, 2009
Some papers seem intent to keep it going
see
msb - October 9, 2009
He is coming to crash your next birthday party Mike.
kentroyals5 - October 9, 2009
Mike Lowell looks really old.
chezbergrur - October 9, 2009
He's looked that way for a while now
It’s sort of sad, because he’s one of the Sox I like…
section331 - October 9, 2009
Classy guy for sure.
chezbergrur - October 9, 2009
Bay would be doing that quite a lot if we signed him.
ThundaPC - October 9, 2009
At Safeco?
msb - October 9, 2009
GAH
JamMasterJesus - October 9, 2009
Jeff Weaver is made of toothpicks and nuclear reactors!
section331 - October 9, 2009
Does anyone have a gif or clip of the Mauer foul call?
Eldukey - October 9, 2009
Bucknor is such an interesting fellow.

by interesting fellow, you mean self absorbed dick head?
Sundevil78 - October 9, 2009
reply fail...
Sorry too many beers
Sundevil78 - October 9, 2009
EYEBROWS!!!!!!!!!!!!
royalcurve - October 9, 2009
WOOOO!
section331 - October 9, 2009
What! where?!
msb - October 9, 2009
Wait, what?
section331 - October 9, 2009
I thought maybe there was a sighting or something
msb - October 9, 2009
No
I was just voicing my one-ness with Eyebrows, since we seem to be the only two for the Anaheim folks lately.
Also WOOOO AYBAR!!!!
section331 - October 9, 2009
Ahhh, solidarity
msb - October 9, 2009
It's all I have!!!
:sniffle:
section331 - October 9, 2009
I'm for anyone who can beat the damn yankees
msb - October 9, 2009
Fingers and toes crossed....
section331 - October 9, 2009
My "EYEBROWS!!!" comment was posted right when he scored the go ahead run. Wooo!
royalcurve - October 9, 2009
Ooooooo
Beckett’s steamed. CB Bucknor hates all baseball players.
section331 - October 9, 2009
I haven't really been paying that close attention
has Bucknor’s wiiiiiiiiiiiide zone helped or hindered the pitchers?
msb - October 9, 2009
I don't know
I haven’t been paying that much attention, either; I just know that Beckett was pissed over a strike call…
section331 - October 9, 2009
Well, at least this is something different.
ThundaPC - October 9, 2009
SWEEEEEEEEEP!!!!
section331 - October 9, 2009
"There's a guy in the umpire's dressing room who feels horrible."
well, that will make the Twins feel so much better.
msb - October 9, 2009
Can't hold grudges forever
50 cent - October 9, 2009
Agree to disagree
Robert - October 9, 2009
I'm sure Cuzzi will be behind home plate for game 3.
Sundevil78 - October 9, 2009
It wouldn't break my heart if Pap gave up his first post season run ...
msb - October 9, 2009
I wonder what kind of little bike short dance he'll do tonight?
section331 - October 9, 2009
Aw, that's cute!
I didn’t know Ricky Schroeder pitched for Boston!
section331 - October 9, 2009
Why 'cute'?
JamMasterJesus - October 9, 2009
I'm being sarcastic.
section331 - October 9, 2009
That makes sense.
JamMasterJesus - October 9, 2009
ANGELS!!!
Poochie - October 9, 2009
That Yankees-Twins game was one of the worst things I have ever seen.
The A-Rod homer was kinda awesome, but jesus christ Minnesota.
