I will never understand how Dobbs is a 'key contributor' to a playoff team
and Justin Leone is barely hanging on to a baseball career.
I think it's funny Fox calls their pitching thing Fox Trax
because that worked sooooooo well in their hockey coverage.

You think these sorts of jokes will ever have a sell-by date?
Or are they just too easy to slot into any baseball scenario?
J.P. Howell wants you to Bach the fuck up.
You know, I really don't like Brett Myers as a person (the smacking-his-wife-around bit is essentially unforgiveable)....
…but I have to say that I love the fuck out of the fact that he brought a bat with him to his pregame press conference. Backing it up, too.
Runs like a slob, though.

God, Chad Billingsley is detonating like a poorly-made IED.
J.P. Howell wants you to Bach the fuck up.
You know what was interesting? Manny fucking up again last night, costing the Dodgers a run that would have conceivably tied the game.
If he hadn’t admired his would-be home run that stayed in the park, he would have made it to third base instead of second, and then scored on the subsequent wild pitch.
Fuck Manny. I vacillate on my feelings towards the Dodgers and Ramirez, but for now: fuck Manny.
J.P. Howell wants you to Bach the fuck up.
The wild pitch probably wouldn't have happened with a runner on third

Yeah, that occurred to me as I was writing my post. But still....we'd be cracking jokes about B.J. Upton until next week over something like that.
On the other hand, Manny’s loafing has become so normalized that we accept it as part of his game.
J.P. Howell wants you to Bach the fuck up.
Nightmare scenario: what if it's the Rays/Sox series...and the Sox win?

Yes, but this presupposes a soul-destroying Rays loss.
The WORST matchup would be Phils-Sox, without any really interesting narrative to grab me (though I’d root for the Phils). Rays vs. Phils would please me the most, precisely for the reasons that it would piss off the network executives. I could settle for Sox/Dodgers so long as the Dodgers won out.

I must have missed this. Did Moyer mention that he spanks his daughter?
FWIW, I see nothing wrong with that at all, assuming it doesn’t cross the line into outright abuse of course. I got more than a few well-timed spankings as a kid (all fully deserved), and I won’t lie: that shit worked for me.
J.P. Howell kindly requests that you please Bach the fuck up.
You spanking your kid, or you recieving spankings?

For me I'd say both.
I'm back to liking midgets too much (Scrappy's comes first, don't worry).
Receiving spankings.
I remember them quite clearly. I also remember that nothing short of that would make me behave on those occasions. They were rare, and they weren’t even necessarily painful (I remember it was always the anticipation of it that freaked me out more than the actual spanking), but they were effective.
I wouldn’t be opposed to giving them as a father, when necessary. Emphasis on necessary. I’m a softie at heart, so I dunno if I could ever actually go through with it though.
J.P. Howell kindly requests that you please Bach the fuck up.
I give them on occasion as a father.
And it works.
Screw you, Mariners. I'm back in football's loving arms.
Not at all surprising. After all, they worked on me.
And I was notoriously difficult to tame as a young kid.

It may yet happen.
Would it sound weird if I told you that for the past two nights in a row I have fallen asleep to fantasies of the Rays absolutely humiliating the Sox in the ALCS? Last night it was this awesome fantasy of Shield pitching a perfect game up until the last out of the 9th inning, where he promptly beans Coco Crisp on the first pitch, then strikes out the next batter on three pitches.

Only Game 7 could be a walkoff
Game 6 would be in Fenway. And in a 3-0 scenario, a walkoff is not what you want in that situation.

Did MLB playoffs switch from 2-3-2 without me knowing?
Dammit, I'm a moron
But then you knew this.
J.P. Howell kindly requests that you please Bach the fuck up.
Part of my original Shields fantasy has the Rays winning the game 33-0
Thus fulfilling the requirement of both a perfect game-turned-no hitter AND the highest scoring game in baseball history.
J.P. Howell kindly requests that you please Bach the fuck up.
Games 4, ,5 and 6 have to be close
with games 4 and 6 won in extras. In game 7 they have to wipe the Sox off the face of the earth.
