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.
if I remember right
the local guys still get to do the radio broadcasts of all the games in the postseason.

Take another look at Joba's picture.
He may very well be a retarded child
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.
I still had umpires that are consistently bad. I don't care that they are consistent.
I fucking hate you Mariners
Rivera is good in the post season, huh?
Thanks for the heads up, Broadcaster!
.
“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"

Looking at the guys seated behind the dugout.
Suddenly I don’t feel quite as ashamed about Safeco.
Rivera, Posada, Jeter
One season, these three will all fall off the cliff at once. And I will be happy.
Posada has his name around the collar of his catcher's gear.
Like someone else might think its his. How egotistical. I hate you, jorge posada.
One capitalizes to show respect.
Thus a lack of capitalization denotes a lack of respect.
I really hope every team in postseason has trouble with their bullpen.
If the Ms have a “good” bullpen then they will be more indemand if all their relievers fail.

Rationally, if we trade Felix to an AL team then we have no shot of reaching the World Series until 2020.

The playoffs have not only made me realize that I favor the angels over the red sox.
But that I’d also prefer Beltre to sign with LAA, too.
This is my thought exactly.
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.

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.
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.
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'll ban a Holocaust denier but I just can't draw the line under something that clearly wasn't meant to be taken seriously

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).
I like using semi-colons; they make me feel smart.
