10/20: Open LCS Games Thread

Wake up, NYC. You’re still in the ALCS!

Ron Washington should start doing coke again.

Did the Yankees not learn that yesterday?

For example, it wasn’t until today that I learned that Thames’ given name is Thepowerfulmarcus. Thank you Jon. The More I Know.

…that’s what we’ve done here’

Did Joe Buck just admit to drinking while on air? It would certainly explain an awful lot.

Baseball America has rated him the second best pitcher in the Pacific Coast League this year behind only Michael Pineda. I can’t wait until next year. Go Mariners!

Even so, fuck you Blanton.

Damn you, David Justice.

I wouldn’t have understood it was good-natured ribbing, had you not told me.

Please stop him from pitching

Oh, how the mighty have fallen.

Thanks Tim.

oh my god

you know that little 10 second legal ID thing they do at the top and bottom of the hour? at the time (10 years ago), the small station i worked at (which occasionally did royals broadcasts) didn’t have the automatic legal ID/add click over that most people use today. one had to listen to the broadcast, hit the mic slider up, game slider down, say something brilliant like " it’s currently x degrees in downtown _, now back to Cardinals baseball on your ozark sports leader K—-" then repeat the slider move in reverse. simple, right? it gets weird when the people on the game broadcast end don’t say "lets pause 10 seconds for station identification". Buck like to have around 14 refreshing ice cold Bud Lights and stop giving them. all i can figure is that he has a urinal under his desk, because i couldn’t leave to piss until he did it.

now, there’s always some flexibility in the legal id, you don’t break into the middle of a play, or even pitching series, but one time (of many) he didn’t give a legal ID break at the top of the hour. or the bottom. at 48 after, he drops it (just before i piss myself), i do the legal ID, rush to the bathroom and feel the sweet release. at 55 after the son of a bitch did another legal ID. i guess he was trying to catch up. i was crapping, so there was 10 seconds of dead air. about the time i get all wiped up, my boss calls in to scream at me for being so lazy i can’t work for 10 seconds every half hour (i had to cue adds at the top and bottom of innings, but whatever). thus, he sucks.

also fun, he frequently fails to hit the kill switch during commercial breaks, which is entertaining when he’s spewing slurred profanity during an ad for a local bank or somesuch. awesome. a real pro. you have to make SURE you turn the level down, but then he’ll jump back in 5-10 seconds early or late, so you always look like a douche bag even though he’s the problem.

I firmly believe I appreciate Denny more than most people, because that dude really is a class act.

no Timmy Cam?

In the middle of a crucial at-bat, immediately before Sandoval took the lead back for the Giants, the announcer’s comment was, “one of five children.”

Really great name idea, drug company.

SHAVE THAT BEARD OFF YOU DON’T DESERVE IT

They couldn’t before?

One of them is a major league shortstop.

I’m pretty sure that the pitcher was just terrified of him in the on-deck circle.

Why is the Giants home dugout on the third base side instead of first?
