YES YES YES
Ironic those are the words first muttered in this thread.

You think we’d be happier.

My heart is full of hatred and loathing.
ONE MORE OUT BABY
We got out of it!
1 more out....

Just one more fucking…. YES

GROUNDBALLS!
YES!!!

HOLY HELL YES!!!

HOLY SHIT

thank you

END THIS GAME NOW
FUCK OFF DOG
Well...

Now I remember what I hated about last season.

YES YES YES YES YES
HORRIBIFUCKUS
Thank you merciful Cthulu
There's a difference between merciful and asleep.
What a relief.

Inning over.

Must. Score. Runs.
Fitting that I'm already terrified 2 and a half hours into the baseball season
Bullet fucking dodged.

My blood pressure is going to be hell for the next six months.

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS
So... Wilson redeems himself with a homerun?
LOPEZ FOR SS

(Remember when he was supposed to be a SS? What the fuck, right?)

Look at all them grounders.

Thanks White & Wak.

*cough* League
Today's strikezone is a real hugger-mugger
I feel my discontent was very fatidic
ALL RIGHT ROB JOHNSON IS UP
AFTER GUTIERREZ
Mike Sweeney I guess?
Wak won't pinch hit

Especially after Johnson hit a home run

Considering he's standing in the dugout with a jacket and beanie on, I don't think so
This is like the most stressful opening day I can remember.
AMAZING

League got out of it.

GUNSHOTTOMYFACEASUARUS REX
Jack Wilson makes amends!
I feel bad about lashing out at C-Nage.
Thank you for the apology
GTE.
English?
GTE = Game Thread Emotion
meaning?
Emotion in a Game Thread
The emotion one displays during a game thread.
And how said emotion is different than the way one may normally conduct his or herself.
How can it be simplified anymore?
Game Thread Emotion

General Telephones and Electronics.
Has Niehaus been calling him Figgy throughout the game?

I guess I should have expected that Y, but it sounds too Christmas-y.

Gettin Figgy with it!
So, Puddin' would be a bad nickname?

…just checking.

Home run Guti please.
Kevin Kouz: -.344 WPA

FAIL.

League is a handsome lad
Back right the fuck off
You have Felix
I called second dipsies right when we traded for him
If I poked you with an index finger you would fall over.
Right onto you ;)
At least you will touch a girl.
Be touched

There’s a difference. Ask a strip club

But if you fall over a stripper, aren't you touching her?
Fucking tell me about it.
New Orleans!!!!
I'd shave his treasure trail
I think I just threw up
You're not going to last long around here then.
That will haunt my dreams.
HIT A DINGER
Welcome back Baseball.
BASEBALL CAN EAT NUTS OUT OF MY SHIT
I dislike this matchup
Ziegler against anyone is a bad matchup
Ziegler v. a LHB I'm ok with
Might this game be headed to extras??
Extras suck ass if you have a steak in them
Why would you keep your steak there anyways
Steak?

Get meat off your mind, dog

Dammit
Aw come here sugar
I'm just slow is all
I like it slow
You're a peedophile
You frequently have lyme disease
I didn't even realize you could get it twice
Does that turn you on?
Yay spirochetes!
I think I do english pretty well for a pooch
You're a damn sight better than Scooby-Doo

and much less annoying than Scrappy.

Food's always on your mind, isn't it
There's hope
Fucking submarine pitchers
Go away Ziegler.
Really hate this Ziegler guy.

Especially in MLB 2010 The Show.

Submariners are my least favorite thing on The Show.

THROW THE FUCKING PITCH ALREADY DAMMIT!

Wow, I missed Figgins being extremely annoying earlier

Awesome.

You throw like a DOUCHE
No more racetrack music please
SWING AT THAT DAMN MEATBALL
The ups and downs, are why I love this game.
Might want to protect the plate a little there
You're just calling balls and strikes at random, aren't you?
That was right in there
So were a lot of pitches tonight that were not called
We're in walk-off territory.

Happening earlier than usual this year.

This would be a walkoff we don't want.
I really don't like Zeigler.

I hate submariners.

So you dislike the Rainiers?
Haha I get it.
I want Sims to karaoke Big Poppa.
Let's go Robinho

Draw a walk or something.

JUST LIKE THAT
Rob Johnson with two walks.

WHAT?

Ha! He walked Rob Johnson
Rob Johnson is having a good game.
We need to move him up to clean up
Quota for the season: met

He can go ahead and disappoint us for the remaining 161.

Fucking pinch run for Johnson.
He's supposed to be speedy for a catcher
Rob Johnson is the best player on this team.
Fucking shoot me now.
Wilson sacrifice coming up?
Productive Robo Rob is weirding me out.
Do something Wilson, do somettttttthing!
Rob Johnson doing well aside from the dropped pitches
Time for a Jack Wilson dinger.
When did Rob Johnson become good?
Over/Under - Potato.
I'll take the carrot.
Hmm, this sounds really gay acctually.
Pinch runner please
I'm going to give Johnson a second chance this year.
That might be dangerous

He’ll break your heart

2 walks and a homerrun
Aw fuck Andrew Bailey

Boned.

We're not losing yet.
Do A's fan's just boo everyone??
They lead miserable lives.
No that's Philly.
They cheered Byrnes!
Here comes the IBB to Ichiro?
Lets go Clutchiro.
I hate this fucking team
Walk Ichiro for Figgins?

What?

This is some gayass bullshit up in here
Johnson and Wilson both cup adjusted at the same time
This figgers.
Comeon FIGGY!
Okay Figgins, annoy the hell out of them.
BITE MY HAIRY FLESHY ASS YOU PANSY!
MAKE HIM PAY FIGGY
Thats what you do to the other team.
Wow, 15 walks.
This ump is completely retarded
Got all those pitches against Ichiro wrong
Anyone smell a Figgy inside the park homer?!
Aw fuck. Andrew Bailey... nevermind
This game needs more walks
Come on Figgy.
walking Ichiro to get to FIGGINS!

Big mistake!

Totally cool with walking Ichiro for Figgins
If Chone drives him in he will endear himself to Mariners fans everywhere.
They're walking Ichiro to get to Chone?

Unbelievable

I know, right?

What are they possibly thinking??

They are thinking that Chone might represent the easier out
Unfathomable!
The fools!
Boy might there be egg on their faces
Egg futures must be doing well.
And semen

Face babies!

Quit it with the fucking pitching changes
Time to regress to SUCK Bailey...
So figgers is a terrible nickname when you are 4 beers in
Only 4 beers so far?

Amateur.

Let's go Figgy.

Do Work!

Chone, get a hit here and I will always pronounce your name right
Let's hope Bailey isn't healthy yet

at least enough to pitch effectively here tonight

Wow... Ichiro has never had a negative clutch season.

I’d walk him too.

Come on BlackLemore
Angie needs to do a few more of those laces up

Don’t need to see that.

FSN late night edition!!
Oh for heaven's sake can we not do this again
What do you have against cleavage?
She's decent looking for a gal pushing 40
Poor Greinke he's going to have to cut himself to sleep again.
eternal sleep?
I'm going to enjoy Matt Klassen's slow descent into madness on Fangraphs.
UPDATE!!!

The Royals still suck.

I think we're about to manufacture something here
Figgins isn't Chinese
We need Chinese position players so this joke can be used more.
I like how if we do score a run

then we use Aardsma in the 9th!

We better score 3 runs
Lets make this game even more tiring.
Get ready for a lot close games this year...I love it
I'm afraid of Andrew Bailey.
He's amazing.
You are KIDDING me on that strike.
HOW THE FUCK WAS THAT A STRIKE!?!!?
WHAT THE HELL!
First my wisdom teeth and now this.

I’m gonna chock myself full of the vycotin.

Kinda fucking high to be a strike, jeez.
Need an Angels style RBI
D'awwww Figgy has a small adorable strike zone on gameday.
BLOOP SINGLE C'MON!
That breaking ball is sick
So has anyone mentioned Robots tonight?
FIGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGY
That shit was bendy.
YES YES YES YES YES
FUCKING AWESOME
YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS
Bad throw! Safeties!
Ok phew.

COME ON KOTCHMAN.

YOU ARE SO ANNOYING FIGGINS!
YEES YESY ESYESYYESYESYESYES
Hey, look at that, a break!
Hahahahahahahahahaha

fuck you with our pestering style!

thanks for the help Kouz!
That's payback for wilson
Wow, Kouz with an error
He was robbed!

By Figgins! Cos he’s black!

AHAHAHAHAHA
BWAHAHAHAHAHA KOUZMANOFF BLOWS
This game is ridiculous.
C'MON CASEY!!!!
IN SOVIET RUSSIA

I CANT EVEN THINK OF A JOKE FOR THAT FUCK YOU KOUZMANOFF

I HAVE JUNGLE FEVER
Whenever Figgins does something annoying he makes the same face that I make when I hit the post button
FUCK YEAH HIGH THROWS TO FIRST
COME ON KOTCH!!!
Mariners win the pennant!!
HOLY SHIT

KOTCH ROCKET TIME

Kouzy you sexy son of a bitch
HOORAY FOR SHORT DUDES
SQUEEZE PLAY MOTHERFUCKERS
KROTCHMAN TIME!
MIGHT CASEY!
Surprised that wasn't a strike.
Figgins is like a black cat.

Error machine.

Should have leaned into that one.
WALK INTO THAT CRACKER
Cmon take one for the team Kotch
TAKE IT IN THE SHORTS

IT’LL SCORE A RUN

GOD

KOTCHMAN’S CHANCE

Time for another KOTCH ROCKET
Do it Kotch Man Do it Kotch Man
Ump finally gives us one
Ribbie walk comon
This ump sucks.
Haha that was a strike.
Nice hit Casey!
Umpire abruptly reverses his strike zone this inning.
Nice that he's screwing them over now, too.
At least he's consistently fucking awful
Bases clearing double. Bases clearing double.
Walking in the go ahead run would be fitting.
Is it too much to ask..

For a Kotch Rocket?

This at bat will sum up our entire season
Entire season in a nutshell
That's a big nut
Is this one of those places where I'm not supposed to say what I want to because it sets a bad double standard for the other posters?
Don't break site rules
hmmmph
Do it anyway

What’s the worst that could happen?

He gets banned?
I could get hollered at by Matthew and that's worse than a thousand boxxxings
A boxxxing sounds hot.
I don't see a problem with this
I have no idea what you mean
Just read his flag
No turning back.
So much pressure
WE'RE GOING TO WIN THE SERIES!
Time for a makesie upsie hit
I feel bad things.
PUSSY HIT PUSSY HIT PUSSY HIT

CLUTCH MOTHERFUCKERS
And FIggins gets to 3rd!
Hey neat I still actually care about baseball
KOTCHMAN IS AN RBI MACHINE
I love you Casey!
Pour it on, I don't want to see a save situation.
BEST

TEAM

EVER

Go Bradley!

Dont let Aardsma blow it!

That was an abysmal job by Dave Sims on that, but I accept it since he was probably as surprised as I was.
I love ex-Angels players
It's the Royals strategy, but with a team that doesn't suck.
Im gonna bury my head in your Kotch, Man!
Time for a Bradley walk and a Byrnes grand slam
I'm hoping Bradley beats the umpire in the face with the bat
OH MAN THAT WAS GREAT
What a great night for Kotchman! That's why he is hittin third eh?
Lock him up long term deal!!
YESYESYESYESYESYES
A possible win for League!
Next best thing to a win for for Felix!
Can we please have Kelley warming up too?

You know, just in case?

CASEY KOTCHMAN MOTHERFUCKERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
BRANDON LEAGUE IS A POTENTIAL WIN VULTURE
MINUS GIVING UP THE RUNS THAT GIVE HIM THE WIN
That was Sean White?
But he doesn't hit his wife.
Well at least we get to see Aardsma now.
Bradley looks pissed.
I love you Milton Bradley
I am giffing that if Jeff doesn't
Oh god Milton
Christ that is one angry man
I'm afraid from here
Someone needs to be sent a happy basket
Agree
Jesus, he just death glared the fans.
What if he doesn't like the flavor of muffins in the basket?
Don't put a return address.
Oh he'll find you
He'll always find you
He just taunted the fans after making a catch. I actually love it.
Milton Smash.
There you go, Bradley
BROKEN BAT!!!!! YES!!!!!!!!
BRADLEY FUCK YES!
Nice bat snappage
OH MAN BRADLEY
NOO HE'S SO ANGRY

CUT HIM!

Jesus Milton.

Careful there buddy.

YES SNAPPED BAT
YEAH FUCK THAT BAT!
It's DA time!
Classic Milton
Holy cow I love you Bradley.

Break that bat.

CLUBHOUSE CANCER!
Ready GO.......
FUCK YEAH BRADLEY!
Time to give it to the DA haha
The bat had it coming
Uh holy crap Milton
Never leave me Milton
Bradley

Bradley.

Yes, breaking your bat on the ground is always awesome
Well broken Bradley.
We've walked 8 times in this game. I love you Jack Zduriencik.
GO BRADLEY GO
ALL ABOARD THE AARDSMA EXPRESS
Dear God I'm terrified.
Dear God I'm terrified.
Don't let us all die in a train wreck
Love him more every ab.
We're such enablers
Milton Bradley made that Kotchman single possible.
That was badass
That just gave 8 Chicago area sportswriters something to write about tomorrow.
Obviously Milton Bradley made Aardy blow the save.
That and the blowout loss by Zambrano
Better than talking about today's game against the Braves.
Take it out on the ump....

I guess the bat works too

Broken bat strikeouts are the best kind.
I still can't believe .990 fielding percentage commited that error
I almost ran on to the field to Casey
Please Aardsma

Get the save and make it quick and painless.

Thankfully almost nobody on the A's can hit a homerun
Time to tell it to the DA

God I hate that line.

i cant believe DA only gave up 4 homers last year
SHHHHHHHHHHH!
And 109 warning track hits
Thank you, Safeco!
I kinda want Aardsma to make this a heart attack.
SHUT YOUR HOLE
God Aardsma please throw strikes
Good start for Aardmsa, pretty strike right over the corner

Oh wait

Yeah Bradley

We need more dirtbags.

DIRTBAGS!!
Well here we go.
The belt must constitute the bottom of the strikezone tonight
I'm figuring cock to shoulders
MORE WALKS PLEASE
HOW THE FUCK WAS THAT A STRIKE
This inning will go:

Walk, Walk, Strikeout, Walk, Strikeout, Walk(Run), Strikeout

Heart attack Aardsma or dominator Aardsma tonight?

Oh look he’s getting squeezed.

That's a fucking strike!
Come on,, Aardsma needs all the strikes he can get.
Niehaus is in fine form.
This is goddamned ridiculous
I love Beltre, but can you imagine if we had him at bat instead of Figgins last inning?
He probably struck out
HOW THE FUCK WAS THAT NOT A STRIKE AND ONE BEFORE IT A STRIKE!
holy fuck

where are these pitches missing?

This is a disasterous strikezone
At least we won't have to worry about Aardsma missing the low strike
Chavez swings at ball four.
Did Bradley just glare at the fans?
Well they were yelling at him.
He glares at the ground and sky
And his bat
Well the bat's racist
Wow this ump wants us to lose.

Pitch 1 and 4 were center of the zone

Come on Aardsma

They even let you start easy with Eric Chavez

Man, you see Milton look into the stands after the catch.

This guy is fun to watch.

You think people would know not to swing at Aardsma high heat.
Baseball players are stupid sometimes
Bradley death glance
Worst ump ever!
Stare down by Milton!

Awesome

1st fyball out.
I want Milton to succeed in the worst way
I don't really give a crap how he does.

But if we win I want him getting some credit, since clearly it’s his clubhouse presence.

If he's acting like this and succeeding, I will absolutely adore him

If he’s acting like this and failing, I will absolutely despise him

IN WHAT UNIVERSE ARE PITCHES #1 AND #4 BALLS?
Opposite world.
Apparently this one
And Bradley looks like he is about to jump into the crowd and bludgeon a heckler with the ball
HAHA MILTON.

Uncontrollable swag.

Why wouldn't Wak put Byrnes in LF after the pinch run???
We'd lose the DH
You burn the DH at that point and pitchers then hit
We lose the DH.
We can't use the DH then.
Langerhans is a better fielder
Bradley should've nailed an Oakland fan
No water bottles around.
Milton is getting power-heckled out there in left

He shot that look to the stands after catching that ball, and you could see people leaning over and yelling at him in the background a moment ago

Fans are now chanting "Bradley sucks" I believe.
ONE MORE ONE MORE
DA fuck yessss
Looks like DOMINATOR Aardsma.
AARDSMA WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
Matsui and Morales back to back HR!
Wooo go Twins!
SUCK IT ELLIS
TELL IT TO THE MOTHERFUCKING DA!
STEEEEEEEEERIKE THREE!
YES!!

So Aardsma

Go Aardsma*
Looking good!
If I were an opposing team's fan I'd spend all game every game heckling Bradley

Totally worth it to try to make him go insane

This implies he is not already insane.
I'd make sure I was alone
That implies he's not already batshit crazy.
Well in the last thread you said you were abandoning the Mariners for the Royals, so you kinda are.
DA looks good.
Thats not a ball either
Come on Buck

Prove the Tri-Cities are a shithole

Hey.

I live here.

So do I.

And the Tri-Cities is a shitohle.

Compounding the problem is Travis Buck is a shithole, so he doesn’t have to do much to prove it.

That is one shitty strikezone
ONE. MORE. STRIKE.
That was close
Way to hit the mitt.
Bring the pitch down you fag
STOP THROWING UP THERE
What do we have to do to get a third strike?
Pitch better, I think.
But I'm no scientist
You gotta sell your soul... to Rob Johnson
STILL. ONE. MORE. STRIKE.
Lets Go AARDSMA!
Great Game!!! Way to go DA!!!
EXTEND YOUR ARMS WHEN YOU RUN LOPEZ
Why would you want that?
There's a lot more running at third than at second.

LLopez is going to be in shape this season!

Chone is rubbing it in.
Gotta love that.
Wow the stands emptied out fast...
If you were in Oakland you would run too.
CASE CLOSED! MARINERS WIN!

THANK FUCKING GOD

PEACE!

M’s winnnnnnnnnnn!

YESSSS!

1-0 BABY!

MARINERS WIN!

VICTORY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WE HAVE VICTORY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Can't win em all if you don't win the first!
What an uneventful game
you're kidding right?
No I think he's being completely serious.
And a new thread record!!
I don't think I can take this for 161 more games
WOOOOOOO

PERFECT RECORD!!!

One closer to our 70 billion dollars!
Amazing.

1-0. Most important win of the year :)

Fuck me raw you sexy horse?
You'll have to go to Enumclaw for that.
FUCK OFF OAKLAND
1.000 winning percentage bitches!
5 errors, what? 16 walks?

Welcome to the first game of the year

16 walks is a lot.
Basebal I love you!
I know, I am so happy that its back!
KEEP THE FAITH IN DA!!
I still don't trust him.
C'MON SWEENEY PIE!
i am in love with kotchman
V is for FUCK YOU OAKLAND
WE ARE UNDEFEATED

WE ARE THE CHAMPIONS OF TODAY

Casey Kotchman sounds like a tremendous douche
Jesus Kotchman is a boring interview
Kotchman looks a bit nervous
Kotch

all about the dubya

Casey Fucking Kotchman!
Kotchie looks a little impatiently bored...
And only mildy retarded
Eloquent dude.
I love my life

Seattle is winning at Major League Baseball

So is Milton going to get a suspension now?
For what?
The bat breaking?
Nah. He broke it on the ground, not on the pitchers head.
I'm sure they'll find something.
Be sure to read the Chicago papers tomorrow for the answer!
Gotta cover up for the Cubs losing by 11.

Getting rid of Milton clearly fixed that team!

Did Silva pitch?
I think he's the 4th or 5th starter.
Zambrano.

But in all fairness, he was facing a team with Jason Heyward.

Heyward will hit 40.

Screenshot it.

You can just search your comment when it comes time.
Breaking your bat after not having a great game and striking out in a big situation

Does not bother me one bit. The guy is ultra competitive and was pissed at himself.

And his bat, apparently.

That bat had it coming
I'm not too displeased with him overall.

Walked twice, worked counts, stole second base but the umpire didn’t agree. Overall did fine.

He did, however, whiff twice on fastballs just over the hands… something to watch for indeed…

I bet Sweeney gave him a hug in the dugout
Should we just start calling it the hugout?
and how about 2 walks and a homer for rob johnson?
And a GIDP and a passed ball...

He is so polarizing.

HE LOOKED LIKE HE WAS LOOKING FOR SOMEONE.
Shannon talked to Chone

“In that first inning we saw just what we hated every time you came in wearing another uniform”

HE'S SO ANNOYING
We have the most annoying team ever
A compelling argument
We have the most awesome team ever
*cough* White *cough*
A compelling argument
Alright

Now Fuentes blow the save

Great game.

Now time for the calculus homework I’ve been putting off. Ugh.

Can you imagine how we would be feeling if Figgens had this game against us while on the Angels
When he scored on that popup to short left field I was in awe.
The new Moneyball

Get 9 leadoff hitters who walk a lot and steal a lot of bases.

WHAT'S UP BIZNACHES?
Oh man you're late!
SHIT DOOD HAD THE ENDLESS KID BIRTHDAY PARTY
MASTER CHINN!
FUCK YEAH NOW IT'S BASEBALL SEASON
ARE YOU READY FOR THIS SHIT MOTHERFUCKER?
So did we break the record?
We are well over 4500 posts
Angels win :(
there goes the season
Hey, it's just as the computers predicted!

Mariners, Angels and Rangers in a 3-way race for the division lead with Oakland staring at our asses!

3 way tie even!
wouldve sucked to lose this game and be 1 back of everyone.
Its a devil's threesome.
.

“Mariners, Angels and Rangers in a 3-way race”

Sounds kinky.

Sounds foul
I'm still wondering why Ichiro got the green light to steal 3B back in the 3rd.
Doesn't Ichiro control his own green light?
Yeah, but I still wonder what he was going for with 0 out
Would you have been wondering this if the umps had made the right call?
Yes, I think so

Robots!

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think Ichiro is always greenlit
Wak has said that a lot of the players have the green light at all times.

He doesn’t call very many steals but leaves it up to the player to decide.

Oh boy are we going to see a lot of Figgins steals this year.

I think that’s his favorite part of the game.

He was safe!
Just didn't make sense to me

I’m too drunk to do the math, but the odds of him being safe at 3rd on a SB didn’t seem to outweigh the odds of him scoring from 2nd anyway with 0 out.

I'm with you

I’m way too drunk to have any idea what the odds were there

I agree, but I don't think we'd have given it a second thought if he was called safe.
When the ball beats you like that its hard to be called safe.
But when your foot beats the tag like that

You have a right to expect it.

Bradley's attempted SB, on the other hand..

He took FOREVER to bring his leg around

He was even more safe than Ichiro.
Was he?

He looked out to me. I need to go back and watch this replay now.

He was very safe.
Yuni hit a home run today.
2 run bomb but KC still lost because of their bullpen.
I know I should let sleeping dogs lie

But in anticipation of Kotchman’s praises being sung for the next 6 months, I present the last time a new 1B was our savior: April 4, 2005

Was good for a couple years.
He sucked when the M's needed him to be good though, in 2007.
Kotchman isn't getting paid like Richie.
Now why did you have to go and bring that up?
Because one of the assholes on the broadcast team said something about fantasy baseball

And Kotchman getting picked up in a lot of leagues after tonight’s performance.

And because of being a Mariners fan for all these years

It’s made me dreadfully cynical of anything good happening for us

I thought Jack Z made us all optimists.
I'm still convinced JackZ will have a heart attack

Just to fuck me over.

As I knock fervently on my wood desk.

Z hasn't quite managed to overcome my innate Englishman

but I’m definitely more optimistic than I was before!

It's hard.

We’ve been hurt before.

Thankfully we have Kotchman for only one year

So by the time he implodes like Richie, it will be with the Royals.

And the smile is back on my face!

Thanks for that

Oh Brendan!

Let us celebrate for a little bit, kthxbai ;)

Unless I missed it they didn't do rally fries tonight
Isn't that abomination at Safeco only?
They did it on the road if they found signs, which they usually did
In that case I dearly hope this is a sign of things to come.
No pun intended.
There were no fewer than two signs at the park.

I sat next to one of them… I was thinking that might be why the Dave Sims hat signs didn’t make the cut.

He did comment on my facebook post, though. Good times.

Oh hey you're right!
Did Carroll's sign make the broadcast?
So is it worth watching the full game or just the condensed game?

Sounds like it was a messy game.
