I now find myself happy the Rays lost the other night.
Otherwise, we wouldn’t be able to do this tonight.
A video store without TV's?
Or a policy that means you only watch movies on the TV’s you have?

Oh you know, because he's watching the game
and he’s supposed to be watching Freddy Prinze Jr. and Rachel…nevermind.
Ah, got it
I thought you were talking to me and I was wondering if I missed something.
Nice Guys Finish Third - Hopelessly lost, but makin' good time.
So I am not getting the game on TBS.
It’s the fucking Steve Harvey show. Is anyone else having this devastating turn of events?
TBS says baseball is on but in fact The Steve Harvey Show is on
What is this bullshit
How the fuck is it possible to fuck this up, TBS?
Yesterday's Pants
A blog-thingy about the Mariners and stuff.
'cause you know, nothings says fun
like Bloopers and Steve Harvey.
and the radio broadcast on damn near impossible to receive 850
Just called Comcast
it’s a TBS issue and they’re “working on it”. Fuck.

Everywhere.

Think of all the Rays fans not able to watch the game. Fuck Boston fans, though.
white people drive like this you know

weirdly
about 4:30 on the live broadcast of PHC, Keillor anounced they were told they’d be losing the satellite, and that stations along the line (and the audience) should be prepared to lose the feed.
sun spots?

I think the consensus is that this will be the highest-rated episode of The Steve Harvey Show ever.
Top of the 1st is over. It’s scoreless. Ortiz struck out.
Sports and Bremertonians. Because we can.
I think this will be the only episode of The Steve Harvey Show
watched by more than the families of the cast and crew of the Steve Harvey Show.

According to BP
TBS lost power at their Atlanta studio and satellite facility.

If they lost power at both
it’s probably a pretty massive issue, because yeah, they should have backup generation capability.

This four-camera feed is still pretty cool. Kudos to lailahei.

It's actually rather soothing just to watch the game in its natural state.
No bullshit commentators. Sadly, though, it is delayed too much to enjoy when the game is on TV.
view
I wish one of those cameras was the left-center offset camera, but with the PitchTrax on the screen. That’d be awesome. I’ve hated dead-center ever since ESPN tried to sell us on it, claiming it was their way of building up to K-Zone. Dead-center is crap, yet it’s the default pitch-by-pitch position in a couple of parks (Saint Louis, namely).
Sports and Bremertonians. Because we can.
Yay TBS feed
on a side note, it really pisses off Robert with me being able to communicate here and him being banned and theres nothing he can do about it

If Jarkko Ruutu’s daughter married a son of Jordin Tootoo, her name would be (first name) Ruutu Tootoo, and would therefore be hilarious.

They have alternate umps standing by, right? It wouldn’t make sense to replace the plate umpire, then leave an umpire on one of the two foul lines. Either it’d be a six-man crew on the field or four, I would think.

my dream ad campaign
I always wanted some ad agency to have the balls to make a campaign where it was the company’s name, then the word “bitch.”
For example, let’s set up some commercial where some kids are at a table, and one of them asks their mother what they’re having for dinner. The mom would then come in with pizza and exclaim, “Pizza Hut, bitch!”
…and there’s your tagline. Who would forget that? It’d be incredible. All it takes is a pair of cojones and you’d have the most memorable ad campaign in history.

…only at Pizza Hut, bitch!"

also
It’s not like you can’t say “bitch” on television either. If the FCC won’t let the ad air during the daytime, then you’ve at least got the most successful primetime ad campaign in history.

Sweet! I won $25! USC didn't score more than 75pts.
Lame when you wager with your friends on your team, and it’s based on the degree of suck.

Yup, I turned that shit off when they finally dressed out a new homeplate ump.
I think the game officially ended around 6.

"you have to get 27 outs, sometimes more than that."
(incredibly tense silence as everyone realizes this isn’t true)
It is true.
For instance, a dropped third strike.
Wow, I feel like an idiot...
For not thinking of the most obvious way to have more than 27 outs. Really, I guess pitching four strikeouts in an inning, and losing one to a dropped ball, probably only counts for three statistically.
hmm
I think the pitcher would get credit for four strikeouts, though he’d only get credit for recording three outs (i.e., one inning pitched).

Is it "tragic" or "inevitable"? I'm confused about which is currently in favor.

But this was the first game I attended at Safeco Field. The boxscore doesn’t account for the many brushbacks, nor does it account for the unfounded bravado that Chad Curtis displayed at one point.

No outs, man on first, Upton on deck, Pena in the hole.

So, the Red Sox are about to take 2 out of 3 at the Trop and the Rays took 2 out of 3 at Fenway.
But but but but homefield advantage!
Most irritating stat I'm tired of hearing about:
Rays’ W-L record when Longoria drives in a run. The Rays win when their players drive in runs? No shit, really? For realsies?
No they're not

I wonder what happened in that episode of The Steve Harvey Show…
Sports and Bremertonians. Because we can.
So I'm just going to assume that the Red Sox are going to win tomorrow.
If that is what is going to happen, I hope they completely obliterate the Rays. I hope they score 8 runs in the first inning, so I can turn it off and not watch the rest.
That was quiet the downer game
But Tomorrow the Sox will eat dirt!
Things have been going downhill
since Ortiz’s HR yesterday. Tomorrow’s game has an aura of inevitability about it.
I challenge everyone who thinks it's over to not even watch tomorrow.
If you don’t watch, don’t check the score etc. I have no problem with anyone saying it’s over.

Maybe playoff experience does count for something after all.

Nah, I’m kidding. Rays will figure it out and go on to Philly.
If the Sox win this then prepare for a winter of 'rookies choke veterans prevail in October' arguments.
And then watch the M’s got out and pick up Mike Timlin to a 2 year, $7M contract.
