This isn’t going to get any easier, is it?

The key is to get angry
Remind yourself that he cheated on you with your sister that one time back in June. Then let your imagination run wild with how many times he PROBABLY cheated on you unbeknownst to you, and you’ll move from denial to anger.
I am going to come into your house at night and rec up the place.
The juxtaposition of the bold Playoffs
and a Mariner logo made me wistful
Volquez
Had the fourth lowest xFIP of any starter in September. He’s the worst of the bunch, but he’s still pretty darn good.
He's wearing the right hat,
he’s just playing for the wrong team.

Anyone know if this is on radio,
and if so, which station(s)?
"Why is it every time I need to get somewhere, we get waylaid by jackassery?"
710 in Seattle then I think.
"Why is it every time I need to get somewhere, we get waylaid by jackassery?"
I think 710 isn't airing the first game
but will be airing the later games.

The Rangers/Rays game isn't on 710 or 950.
I don’t think we have a local radio feed.
"Why is it every time I need to get somewhere, we get waylaid by jackassery?"
For free?
I might go check that out.
"Why is it every time I need to get somewhere, we get waylaid by jackassery?"
Not sure, I just noticed it on the front page.
I sometimes find myself engaged in combat with hobos.
Damn.
Looks like it’s just a link to your local ESPN radio affiliates. 710 isn’t carrying the first game (for whatever reason), so it looks like I’m out of luck.
"Why is it every time I need to get somewhere, we get waylaid by jackassery?"
I'm watching it on a link from myP2P.eu
but you need to download a program called StreamTorrent to do it.

Probably not allowed here at work.
They get grumpy when we download things.
"Why is it every time I need to get somewhere, we get waylaid by jackassery?"
Yup.
MLB found the link that atdhe uses and banned it, and one of the other sites posted just gives me all the ads around the edges but not the feed.
I think I'm stuck with something like Gameday, or just getting updates on here or the radio.

I don't think I agree with this argument other than the added revenue more playoff games will bring.
The Rangers are already going to be appealing to free agents because they are a team on the rise.
The worst season the Angels have had before this season was 2003. I am just not convinced that winning a world series will dramatically alter their 2011 season. But I could be wrong or missing the point.

It's not a fad, I don't hate the Rays
but, they’re kinda boring, they lucked their way to the best record in baseball, and their fans don’t show up to their games
If you win a World Series, bring in some money, buy a stadium that's not unreachable for fans... they will come.

Um. #stoptalking RT @johnfayman: Cabrera: “He and the umpire pitched a no-hitter. He gave him every pitch. … we had no chance.”
Well, if one of the starting pitchers is on acid, it could happen.
C.C. would probably need a LOT of acid.
TBS now saying Target Field may be the best in baseball.
1.) It doesn’t have the best ROOF in baseball.
2.) They’re weather is bad.
I thought that when the ball hits the bat a second time, it becomes a foul ball.
Actually, I’m pretty damn sure. They should have had to end that at-bat again.
Rule 6.05 (h)
After hitting or bunting a fair ball, his bat hits the ball a second time in fair territory.
The ball is dead and no runners may advance. If the batter-runner drops his bat and
the ball rolls against the bat in fair territory and, in the umpire’s judgment, there was
no intention to interfere with the course of the ball, the ball is alive and in play. If
the batter is in a legal position in the batter’s box, see Rule 6.03, and, in the umpire’s
judgment, there was no intention to interfere with the course of the ball, a batted ball
that strikes the batter or his bat shall be ruled a foul ball;
The correct call was made.

Michael Cuddyer is a player I have absolutely no emotions about.
He is the “Jason Kubel” of the Minnesota Twins.

"This is the year of the pitcher. It's also the year of the manager, so many managers have done a great job this year"
I wonder if that includes all of the managers that were fired this year.
I cracked up in the after game comments from Charlie Manuel when asked about the no-hitter.
“It was great managing.” Then he starts cackling.
The first game? Seems doubtful, since he played hundreds of games on the Mariner's payroll just recently.

Smoltz (or is it Darling) is talking about how the Twins’ .300+ BABIP shows that they have the right approach at the plate.
Repeatable kills!
Are the Twins zombies? Usually when you kill something, you don't have to do it repeatably.

Who's the guy that was just saying that he thought Halladay might have had some nerves coming into his first playoff start?
He sounds like James Woods and it’s quite distracting
At first I thought there was a bad commercial.
Then I thought you had some sort of gardening issue.
Then I remembered that the Giants weren’t playing today.
And THEN I figured out what you were talking about.

So Halladay spends 12 years being glorious and pitching for a nowhere team in the same division as the Yankees
Finally gets traded to a contender and throws a no hitting in his first fucking playoff game and I miss it? Ho-lee shit.
Anybody have any ideas on how to see this game complete without buying into MLB packages? iTunes selling replays? Anything?
I missed it too. It's bullshit.

Let a team in that actually wants to win. I know, I sound ridiculous, but christ you’d think being raped by the Yankees 500 times is enough.

From hearing the score, what the fuck assholes.
I have never hated anything as much as I do yankees and yankee fans. I want them all to die horrible, slow (but not too slow), agonizing deaths, preferably lockjaw or something that ate their voice boxes first so they’d shut the fuck up.

This is like the worst scenario possible. No one can take away my Lee jersey or the fact that we had him. I will always remember 2010, as the year we had two (2), count them, two (2) CY pitchers to watch and a totally worthless season. This year must always be remembered for it’s futility. This year surpassed all previous years for the M’s futility. I’m hoping that means nothing ever comes close to this again.
