I can't stand this picture of C.J. Wilson. Why did he pose like this? If you're going to pose for a funny picture, you must absolutely consider whether it will be funny given repeat viewings. This, like so many of my prized childhood movies, has failed the repeat-viewings test, and it's failed in spectacular fashion.

I liked them better before they sold out

To improve, they should try to become the musical southern cal of the west. - bRuins Nation poster on the Stanford band.

I still laugh at the picture.

And I still laugh when I watch Spaceballs.

I was hoping they’d chase him. Also holy shit safe.

Has Joe Morgan gotten more incoherent?

Ooh a lead.

That’s kinda shiny.

Fuck this series.

I don’t want to root for either.

Good luck with that.

Actually, in Japanese baseball, tie games exist; they only play 12 innings during regular season.

by HamFighter! on Oct 15, 2010 6:32 PM PDT up reply actions  

Didn't that used to be 10?

When did that change?

Not sure if it changed. I've always known it as 12, but could've been 10 at one time.

Wiki:

.. If there is no winner after 12 innings, the game is declared a draw, except in the postseason, where games that are tied after 15 innings must be replayed…

by HamFighter! on Oct 15, 2010 6:44 PM PDT up reply actions  

I didn't know that they RE-PLAYED games.

That’s interesting.

It's weird, though.

No matter how many times they air it, everything is the same.

I sometimes find myself engaged in combat with hobos.

Yeah, me neither.

Those things make it hard for me to take Japanese Baseball seriously.. I’ve heard it’s because they don’t want games going later than the last train.

by HamFighter! on Oct 15, 2010 6:53 PM PDT up reply actions  

While that's nice and courteous of them

6-hour 23-inning ballgames are simply epic affairs.

Man, that was a well-placed hit.

Stop it.

Go Rangers.

I can’t believe I am happy about a Michael Young hit.

by Droid Rage on Oct 15, 2010 6:37 PM PDT reply actions  

John Smoltz lied to me

He guaranteed CC would be better from that point on.

by Eyeball Kid on Oct 15, 2010 6:40 PM PDT reply actions  

And CC did not even cover home on that.

If Andrus has been on second he would have scored on the wild pitch.

I love when the broadcast booths get into it.

It makes the games that much more enjoyable. Next, they should randomly pipe in each other’s broadcast audio to the opposing team’s broadcast booth PA system. Get ’em all whipped up at each other.

Did hell freeze over?

Just looked at the score board and this doesn’t seem right.

Eat shit bum!

Someones cheating obviously.

They’ll figure it out.

Must be Cliff's hat.

That’s a BAD HAT!

I can't really root for either team

but it’d be kind of funny if Texas doesn’t win a home game this postseason.

This is going exactly as I hoped

CC is awful and the Yanks rally late.

This is all on Micheal Young and the fact that despite being over 30 he is still afraid of getting in front of a hot shot grounder.

How many times did we watch Adrian let a ball like that bounce of his chest only to pick it up and make a play.
