It's better than tying up your hopes and dreams
in that afterbirth Pierre-Marie Altidore-Cespedes.
Go find his highschool highlight reels.
The kid was ridiculous. Then he gets to GU and is incapable of doing anything but wetting the bed.
Boo!
I’m just bitter the Giants collapsed on themselves and didn’t make it.
Buster Posey shot my dog.

If the Red Sox come back and win this series it means they would have won 3 games in a row
back in 2004 they won 4 games in a row. But three and four together and you get 34. 34 is Adenhart’s number. Book it peeps the Red Sox are going to ALCS.

Isn't this guy on TBS also off of the NESN broadcasts?
Isn’t that like having Blowers covering the M’s during the playoffs? Isn’t that going to piss opposition fans off?
I was at Shea for the Felix-Slam!
Personal M's record: 5-4.
This went from 'eh' to 'suck' pretty quickly...

Pedroia is from Woodland, CA. About 1/2 hour from where I grew up.
It’s the only way I can justify rooting for the Sox outside of Angel hatred.

Speaking of rally monkeys
Is there any way that we can collectively beg SafeCo to stop with the Larry the Cable Guy thing during rallies? It’s a trend I really hope they don’t bring back next year.

"Now that the Twins are in the postseason, (Joe Mauer) is leaving nothing to chance."
Umpire Phil Cuzzi begs to differ.
The only logical conclusion:
Phil Cuzzi hates sideburns.
the crew chief's "explanation"
“The challenges in working foul line: Number one is, we don’t do it a lot. It’s a tough one to practice,” Tschida said. “Your first movement is always to get out of the way because we’re not accustomed to having fielders come from the side. … So getting into a position is a little bit foreign. It’s a little bit uncomfortable, and I don’t offer that as an excuse for an incorrect decision, but it can contribute to the call becoming a little more difficult.”
The crew chief's "explanation", summarized
Umpiring is difficult.
Insult to injury
“Phillies left-hander Jamie Moyer is recovering at a Philadelphia hospital from a blood infection. Moyer’s wife, Karen, said in an e-mail to The Associated Press on Saturday that her 46-year-old husband is fine now after an infection following abdominal surgery. Moyer was expected to stay another night at the hospital. He had surgery last week on tendons in his left groin and lower abdomen.”
Holy shit!
I never heard anything about this -was it a baseball-related surgery?

Who says I'm rooting for the Red Sox? I'm simply rooting for the Angels to lose.
FUCK THE ANGELS! FUCK THE ANGELS! FUCK THE ANGELS!
They have cable but not DVR
It is not a hard concept to understand and I am sure you would comprehend it were you not so dense
Base hit please
Fuck the Red Sox.
Let me rephrase that, fuck the Angels, but a little bit less than the Red Sox.
The Red Sox must have traded for A-Rod, because they just choked big time.
FUCK THE ANGELS! FUCK THE ANGELS! FUCK THE ANGELS!
They tried to trade for him five years ago but haggled over a few million dollars
In hindsight it was a huge mistake since they Yankees got Texas to pay much of his yearly salary over the next few seasons
Now you are technically wrong and that is the best kind of wrong

I just put 1 pound on the Twins to win the WS.
80/1, why not?
It's funny how a game like today's can be a clarifying event.
I just realized that, no matter how much I hate the Angels, I hate the Red Sox much, much, much more. Because I find myself in the position of cheering happily for Vlad & Co. here.
And the fact that it’s a 3-run two out 9th inning comeback to complete a humiliating sweep is just that much more sweet.
Still, I want to see a Twins/Rockies series.
Jigsaw falling into place
My dad's getting up there in years; I suppose if the Yankees win it would give him one last opportunity to be insufferably smug about baseball before he shuffles off.
That’s how I’ll be spinning a Yankees WS win.
Jigsaw falling into place
Nah, Boston is clearly the greater evil here.
It’s not really a tough call. Just like in World War II you could acknowledge that the Soviets were rotten, evil motherfuckers whilst still strongly preferring them over the Nazis.
Actually, the Soviet/Nazi paradigm explains the way I feel about a lot of postseason baseball matchups.
Jigsaw falling into place
So the Angels are the Shapeshifters and the Red Sox are the Romulans?
FUCK THE ANGELS! FUCK THE ANGELS! FUCK THE ANGELS!
And if we kill Terry Francona, but make it look like the Angels did, we get the Red Sox to join our side?
FUCK THE ANGELS! FUCK THE ANGELS! FUCK THE ANGELS!
I would argue that while your paradigm is accurate, the sides are obviously reversed.
FUCK THE ANGELS! FUCK THE ANGELS! FUCK THE ANGELS!
As I said earlier, today's game was very clarifying for me -- even I wasn't sure which team I disliked more.
Now I can answer the question confidently: the Red Sox are my least-liked team in Major League Baseball.
The Mets used to rank up there but now I mostly feel sorry for them.
Jigsaw falling into place
The TBS broadcast is screwing up the score!
It showed a 7-7 tie, then a 7-6 Sox lead!
Well crap.
At least we won’t have a Yankees/Red Sox ALCS.
FUCK THE ANGELS! FUCK THE ANGELS! FUCK THE ANGELS!
Imagining Bill Simmons' tears = yet another reason I root against the Red Sox
Jigsaw falling into place
DIE RED SOX DIE BWAHAHAHA
Now I need to see the Twins polish off the Angels in the ALCS.
Yes, the Twins. Gonna take some doing to get to that.
Jigsaw falling into place
Never underestimate the nefarious powers of the Metrodome.
I fully expect the Twins to take at least one game in this series before going down. That stadium fucking refuses to die.
Jigsaw falling into place
Oh yeah!
I completely spaced that they’d be going back to Minnesota.
Maybe I have a bit of hope for them now…

I should hate Torii Hunter. After everything, I should loathe Torii Hunter. He's an Angel, for fuck's sake.
But I don’t. Still kinda like the guy. Overpaid? Well that’s not my problem, I just like him is all.

Go Twins.
If the yankees sweep, then the ALCS doesn’t start for five full days. If the ALCS ratings drop, it will be suggested that this was due to the long break between the division series and league championship. Major League Baseball then may try to remedy this by shortening the length between games in the playoffs. This will negatively affect the Mariners, as once we finally return to the playoffs we’re going to want as many days off as possible, since that will maximize the number of potential Felix starts.

I would dearly love to see Carl Pavano humiliate the Yankees tonight.
That would be at least three different varieties of ironic-awesome.

It’s almost as if interest in the earlier game was driven by hatred for the Angels and Red Sox or something.

Wait who the fuck puts avocados on a burger?
Every time I see that commercial it puzzles me in a new way.
I think the shadowy avocado lobby needs to sack up and face the fact that avocados have, at best, limited uses
Guacamole and that’s about it.
Jigsaw falling into place
Avacado has many uses in addition to guacamole.
by Aaron Campeau on Oct 11, 2009 4:43 PM PDT up reply actions
Also sliced as part of a burrito.
And many others.
by Aaron Campeau on Oct 11, 2009 4:45 PM PDT up reply actions
Okay, I shall accept 1.) salad and 2.) Mexican foods as proper uses for the avocado
And note that guacamole falls into the latter category.

Avocado, turkey, bacon, tomato and swiss is a divine sandwich.

"Let this big fucker come in and walk the world here." - Dave Niehaus on JJ Putz
I like how an involved discussion about avocados and the shadowy avocado lobby has taken precedence over talking about the game.
Carl Pavano has struck out 5 batters through 3 & 1/3, all of them swinging. Odd.
Jigsaw falling into place
Ooh, and his first called strikeout of the night comes against Teixeira.
Nice. Six on the day so far.
Jigsaw falling into place
Man Pavano is just mowing them down.
If this game is played on real grass instead of turf he’s still got a perfect game.
Jigsaw falling into place
Of course Andy Pettite is STILL pitching a perfect game himself.
But that’s less noteworthy or admirable.
Jigsaw falling into place
Why prefer the Yanks?
Genuinely curious. Seems hard not to like the Twins from where I stand.
(Though I stand in the Midwest.)
Jigsaw falling into place
I like the Twins fine and in a perfect world I would want them to win
but I don’t think they stand a chance in hell of beating the Angels in a seven game series.

Man, Pettite made Cuddyer look like a little-leaguer
Two swinging strikes on balls up around his eyes.

The good thing about MIN losing
About the only good thing, would be saying goodbye forever to baseball in the Metrodome.
Reminds me of games in the Kingdome, good times but a horrible facility (shudder).

I don't really care who wins these games. I just want to see all the bullpens fall apart.
This will only make our bullpen seem better when the winter meetings start. I want a serious bidding war for Lowe and Aardsma.
And nothing makes people more desperate than failure.
Thank you Graham.
