Was George Bush sitting next to Patrick Warburton?

Maybe.

Halman can't get to the big leagues soon enough.

I hate this deafeated feeling...
All season with the Mariners, I gave up once the other team scored. Chances were I wouldn’t see a comeback. Now that’s how I feel watching the AL playoff games. I want more offense, godamnit!
Sounds like someone didn't watch the Phils or Braves last night

I did catch the Braves/Giants and it was good fun, although I'm not totally invested in either team.
But I care more about the AL games and both my teams are on the brink of getting swept.
I find it incredibly interesting that Tampa bats Jaso in the leadoff spot.
Can’t think of any other catcher that has batted leadoff

Wow, more bad ump calls
And the announcer can’t seem to see the obvious in the replay, either

Based on frequency and volume of comments, I suspect this Rays/Rangers game is as exciting as a Mariners game.

We have to work up gradually.
We’ll start with a fleet of Roombas for a groundskeeping crew.

Texas suceeds.
They get playoff money, they have new ownership, they have new tv contract, they have surge of fairweather fans, they have key players hitting their prime, Cliff Lee is starting to like Texas. Bad news dood.
The Rangers succeeding work directly against the Mariners future

Why root for the direct opposition to improve,
at the moment we need all the help we can get, and the team with easily the best farm in the division getting a lot more money is not a good thing.
by ChelseaMariner on Oct 9, 2010 4:43 PM PDT up reply actions
I'm not rooting for them to improve. They're already improved.
In reality, I’m rooting for the Giants are the Phillies.
Fair enough,
I’m just hoping that if they fail that the Mariners will take their place in the playoffs soon!

From Buck Martinez's wikipedia page
His most frequently used catch phrase is “Fisted,” which is used to describe what he likes to have happen to him at the hands of another man.
I just came from watching my Gamecocks beat the fuck out of Alabam-- Wha?? GO RAYS!!!

Once I heard they wouldn't have Morneau, I feared the Twins would be doomed.

Go Yankees! I love Jeter and his awesomeness.
I hope he wins the Pulitzer prize for writing the book on defense, and the Nobel Peace Prize because he is Bob Marley with a decent haircut.

Happens all the time.
Also, I wrote it because I’m a Mariners fan, and we are known for having the worst luck ever. I was hoping to spread that to NY.

Damnit Minnesota, why don't you have somebody besides Liriano who can generate a swing and a miss?
You're dead to me.
I feel like Megaman with that homerun music.

The Twins are boned.
The Yankees will come to the next series slightly more rested or, if we’re lucky, a bit more out of shape.

In the interim, everyone here will be more aggravating than usual.

It's the reason that hits closest to home.
I have other problems with them.

Cheer for the NL teams instead?

If it's a Phillies/Giants NLCS, then that's my World Series.
What an awesome series that will be.
I'm looking forward to that more than anything else that could happen.
I’ll probably root NL casually for the Series, again.

I'll have drinking/game watching partners in the NL the way things are shaping up.
The Sounders lack that on this coast.

I'll be cheering for the Yanks over the Rangers if thats what it comes to.
Can’t very well have Texas beating us to the World Series.
You're dead to me.
Went to get milk + a drink during the 2nd inning and decided against getting a 4loko.
Bad choice, what a terrible game.
I just realized earlier today that there is a C on the Twins' cap
Which probably means Twin Cities, huh?
Nah, they just never got over Left Eye's death.

Joe Mauer has a Minnesota accent
just thought I’d point that out…
That's what I heard.

They should have offered more, then.
Actually, I don’t know that they could have easily matched the other packages.

Okay, weird - both TNT and TBS are soundless for me.
I sometimes find myself engaged in combat with hobos.
Well then fuck Conan, because it's still happening, and he's not on until November.
I sometimes find myself engaged in combat with hobos.
AND STILL NO SOUND ON EITHER TBS OR TNT
What is going on???

OKAY. Is anyone else without sound on TBS/TNT? This is fucking weird.

Still no fucking sound. I'm changing the channel now.

AND HERE COMES THE TWI...oh no wait the Yankees still have Rivera, so the Twins are still fucked.
You're dead to me.
I WISH EVERY ONE OF THE YANKEES DIED FROM EATING DEAD SQUIRREL-LADEN INDIAN FOOD.

Thanks Yankees, I had forgotten briefly that I could be bored of a baseball game.
Hard work never killed nobody, but I won't take my chances.
And now it's time to ignore Facebook for the next three days.

There's the reason I hate the Yankees.
Advance to ALCS? Barely any celebratory reaction from the players and coaches. Even the champagne party looked half-assed. Like they “had to” do it for the cameras.
Fans are typically idiots.

God no. Then we would have to sit through the endless Canonization of each Yankees' player.
It’s hard enough stomaching it now, I couldn’t bear every sports news show sucking on Derek Jeter’s specteral dick.
Hard work never killed nobody, but I won't take my chances.
Two fucking hours.
Whatever. It’s better than the goddamned balloons they drag through Times Square every year.

Why have a champagne party when they didn't even win anything?
Or do the Yankees have an ALCS Appearances banner, too?

I want to fuck Joe Maddon and then introduce him to the band NoMeansNo.
