I remember 2007, I don't wish that kind of pain on any baseball fan. (nm) - musubi Sep 28, 21:39 2
- Thanks. The M's lost 94 games this season. I went to my 3rd game this season tonight. Due to impending bedtime, we left in the 4th inning, down 2-0. - psilotum Sep 28, 21:44
- What worries me is that I think Hanson is heading for surgery and JJ's knee issues seem serious. - David Sep 28, 21:43
*head asplodes* -- nm - znufrii Sep 28, 21:38
lesson of the day: don't let Joe Biden pray for you -- nm - moles Sep 28, 21:27 1
- don't give Dan Shaughnessey any more ideas for stupid books. -- nm - Mel Profit Sep 28, 21:28
FB status of the night: "Somewhere there is a four-year-old Sox fan wondering if the team will ever win a World Series in his lifetime." - TFox Sep 28, 21:25 8
- and the Cubs 4 year old fans already know it is hopeless -- nm - peglegpete Sep 28, 21:44
- That is funny -- nm - Bacon on a droid Sep 28, 21:31 6
  - how many titles has Boston won in the last decade, all sports? 7 or 8? - Bacon on a droid Sep 28, 21:34 5
    - in a shocker, Redmond didn't get the joke. -- nm - TFox Sep 28, 21:34 4
      - I did get it but it had me thinking on a tangent. Yes before the sox one the WS fathers and Grandfathers were saying they wanted to see the Sox win - Bacon on a droid Sep 28, 21:37 2
        
        Of course now the 4 year old will be 80 before they win again -- nm - Bacon on a droid Sep 28, 21:40
        
        Until the Revolution can exorcise the demons of four lost MLS Cups, no Boston sports fan can sleep easy. -- nm - Reagen Sep 28, 21:39
      - It's that four year olds don't have a conception of a lifetime, right, right? - Reagen Sep 28, 21:37
mara - we won!!! and I got Revenge of the Spearman! - loosilu Sep 28, 21:24
now i can see what these chuckleheads do on survivor . . . -- nm - moles Sep 28, 21:23
B O O M -- (link) - psilotum Sep 28, 21:22 [Backboard] 2
- Would you care for a delicious glass of apple pie? -- nm - David Sep 28, 21:25 1
  - Sounds... odd. -- nm - psilotum Sep 28, 21:45
dan shaughnessy is gonna have an awesome column in the morning, right? -- nm - moles Sep 28, 21:21 1
- it'll rival the next day killing of Gumpy. - Mel Profit Sep 28, 21:23
Remember when Tampa Bay gave Longoria a contract extension after he'd been in the majors a week? That was smart. -- nm - David Sep 28, 21:20
That was just awesome. Home runs back-to-back! - JaxSean Sep 28, 21:18 2
- Hey, I watched two of those shows *and* all the baseball. -- nm - David Sep 28, 21:21
- Go listen to electropop. -- nm - TFox Sep 28, 21:19
So, is he now Robert fucking Andino in Boston? - the wrong element, bad guy Sep 28, 21:17 2
- he would be, if it wasn't our own fucking fault. - TFox Sep 28, 21:20
- This is the first Gut Punch Event, Post World Series wins. - Mel Profit Sep 28, 21:19
Who coaches the Sox next year? -- nm - Bacon on a droid Sep 28, 21:13 4
- If it's anyone other than Francona, the Sox braintrust are dumber than fuck. - Will Hunting Sep 28, 21:15 2
  - I hope they are that stupid, if one rumor going around is true. - the wrong element, bad guy Sep 28, 21:21
  - This. -- nm - Krusty Sep 28, 21:18
- Francona will pick the coaching staff. -- nm - Mel Profit Sep 28, 21:14
Wow! -- nm - Bacon on a droid Sep 28, 21:08 2
- ::high five:: -- nm - The Ruiner Sep 28, 21:09 1
  - I am not a jinx! - Bacon on a droid Sep 28, 21:10
Results aside, this is about as good as sport can be. -- nm - Will Hunting Sep 28, 21:08 11
- Word! Great night of baseball, just amazing. -- nm - Krusty Sep 28, 21:11 4
  - Now for the boring ass plAyoffs. I am all for single game eliminations -- nm - Bacon on a droid Sep 28, 21:12 3
    - For me most playoff games are nail biters. You don't have more games to play later. You win the series or you go home. - Krusty Sep 28, 21:16 2
      - True for baseball but I would hate anything but single games in football playoffs -- nm - Bacon on a droid Sep 28, 21:32 1
        
        It works for football. I'd hate to see a three game series of some kind. -- nm - Krusty Sep 28, 21:38
- It will make for a great DVD... that I will never buy. -- nm - Jelly Sep 28, 21:10 1
  - Heh. -- nm - kelly Sep 28, 21:11
- It's FAN-tastic! -- nm - Jose Reyes, NL batting champ Sep 28, 21:10 1
  - See what happens when you play it to the end Jose? -- nm - Will Hunting Sep 28, 21:11
- Agreed. Baseball needed a shot like this -- nm - amoxy Sep 28, 21:09
- Even in my bitterness, I appreciate how great this night was for the game of baseball. -- nm - David Sep 28, 21:09
This wouldn't be believable as a movie plot. -- nm - David Sep 28, 21:07
What a surreal night -- nm - prayformojo Sep 28, 21:07 1
- Are there any more games to switch to? -- nm - The Ruiner Sep 28, 21:07
Worst. Alliance. Ever. -- nm - TFox Sep 28, 21:06 20
- The Red Sox and Braves should have a Chokeoffs series. -- nm - David Sep 28, 21:08 16
  - The Red Sox had the bigger choke. - the wrong element, bad guy Sep 28, 21:13 12
    - The Braves lost 8 out of their last 10 including 5 in a row (2 of them against Washington). Not a lot of pride shown. -- nm - David Sep 28, 21:17 11
      - Girls, girls. You're both hideous. -- nm - Reagen Sep 28, 21:19 10
        
        Cinderella is mopping the floor in the corner, laughing her ass off as we try on the slipper. -- nm - TFox Sep 28, 21:19 9
        
        If the O's had played this way all year, we'd be in the mix. We went like 8 & 4 vs Tampa/Sox in the last 3 weeks. -- nm - Will Hunting Sep 28, 21:21 7
        
        Didn't basically the same thing happen last year, a very nice run to end the season? -- nm - Krusty Sep 28, 21:23 6
        
        They finished 6-6 last year, with a 2-1 series loss against the Yankees before those games. - the wrong element, bad guy Sep 28, 21:38 5
        
        They played well last year after Buckwalter came aboard. That's probably what he's remembering. -- nm - David Sep 28, 21:41 1
        
        Yeah, they played a lot better than before he got there. - the wrong element, bad guy Sep 28, 21:49
        
        They had an impressive run here to close out the season, no doubt. - Krusty Sep 28, 21:40 2
        
        I really hope it carries over, but I just can't see it happening. - the wrong element, bad guy Sep 28, 21:47 1
        
        Yeah, a lot of question marks for next year. I may not be a fan but I like when the O's are good, feels right for baseball. - Krusty Sep 28, 21:54
        
        no, we're trying to figure out how a slipper works. - Mel Profit Sep 28, 21:20
  - "It's now 0-0 in the 17th inning, with the last 14 batters thrown out at home." -- nm - Reagen Sep 28, 21:09 2
    - "And what's going on in left field, Carl Crawford has just vomited on himself" -- nm - rollo Sep 28, 21:12
    - Thanks, I needed that small laugh. -- nm - Jelly Sep 28, 21:10
- you guys are the Sue/Kelly of Wild Card Survivor -- nm - moles Sep 28, 21:07
- heh -- nm - prayformojo Sep 28, 21:07
- Way to seal your fate. -- nm - The Ruiner Sep 28, 21:07
and there it is - prayformojo Sep 28, 21:06 1
- America's Team! -- nm - The Ruiner Sep 28, 21:06
Ouch -- nm - amoxy Sep 28, 21:06
wow. -- nm - Mel Profit Sep 28, 21:06
go to bed mel -- nm - tRuMaN Sep 28, 21:06
Aaaaand it's booze time. -- nm - Jelly Sep 28, 21:06 1
- P.S. Two ticky-tack fucking home runs that couldn't have added up to being five feet over the wall in the corners. -- nm - Jelly Sep 28, 21:06
Hit. -- nm - The Ruiner Sep 28, 21:06
well so much for that -- nm - moles Sep 28, 21:06
Most since *52*?!? -- nm - The Ruiner Sep 28, 21:04
Fight! -- nm - The Ruiner Sep 28, 21:02
wow. - Mel Profit Sep 28, 21:02 4
- did he drop the catch, or just miss it? -- nm - tRuMaN Sep 28, 21:03 2
  - I can't tell if he should have had it or not. -- nm - TFox Sep 28, 21:06
  - Crawford missed it by a fingertip. -- nm - Mel Profit Sep 28, 21:04
- E-PIC -- nm - The Ruiner Sep 28, 21:03
boom, mel's wish is granted. bed time -- nm - tRuMaN Sep 28, 21:02 3
- No, now I have to root for...*shakes head* I can't even say it. -- nm - Mel Profit Sep 28, 21:03 2
  - you don't have to. you really don't. -- nm - loosilu Sep 28, 21:06
  - this is the part where Girardi pulls a Crash Davis - moles Sep 28, 21:05
Orioles magic, feel it happen! -- nm - moles Sep 28, 21:02 1
- Playoffs 2018! Woooo! -- nm - budice Sep 28, 21:03
Omfg -- nm - TFox Sep 28, 21:02
NOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!! - David Sep 28, 21:02 1
- Now you know better than to make an alliance with the Red Sox. -- nm - Krusty Sep 28, 21:06
F*ck! -- nm - Jelly Sep 28, 21:02
ACK!!! -- nm - The Ruiner Sep 28, 21:02
[deleted] 9
- This has been a crazy night of baseball. I love this sport so much! -- nm - Krusty Sep 28, 21:03 8
  - It is not bad when the games actually mean something. -- nm - The Ruiner Sep 28, 21:05 1
    - This! -- nm - Bacon on a droid Sep 28, 21:09
  - Root for your god damn team. -- nm - TFox Sep 28, 21:05 1
    - Sorry. Though it would have felt wrong if the yanks had helped your team get in. -- nm - Krusty Sep 28, 21:08
  - Sorry, David. :-( -- nm - Krusty Sep 28, 21:04 3
    - As I said on FB, I've been strangely detached since the fire. - David Sep 28, 21:07 2
      - I really hope he doesn't catch Wohlers syndrome. I like that kid. - Krusty Sep 28, 21:22 1
        
        The good news is that we're basically finished now. The bad news is now that I have time to watch baseball again, well, you know. -- nm - David Sep 28, 21:29
i hate baseball -- nm - prayformojo Sep 28, 21:00
Pleasant mother phesant pluckers -- nm - prayformojo Sep 28, 21:00
O dear -- nm - moles Sep 28, 20:59
This is unbelievable. Kimbrel *and* Papelbon? -- nm - David Sep 28, 20:59 5
- Maybe it is because I started watching. - The Ruiner Sep 28, 21:01
- and Pap was a machine before it. -- nm - Mel Profit Sep 28, 21:01
- Same score, same situation with the team way out in front in the wild card. This is uncanny. -- nm - David Sep 28, 21:00
- He looked untouchable. -- nm - TFox Sep 28, 21:00 1
  - (just like Kinbrel) -- nm - TFox Sep 28, 21:01
I just want to go to bed. -- nm - Mel Profit Sep 28, 20:59 1
- Now imagine if we add two more wild card spots next season! -- nm - Bud Selig Sep 28, 21:00
*shakes head* -- nm - Jelly Sep 28, 20:59
Hit. -- nm - The Ruiner Sep 28, 20:59
someone forgot to tell Chris Davis he's not a major leaguer. - Mel Profit Sep 28, 20:56
Hit. -- nm - The Ruiner Sep 28, 20:55
One more. -- nm - Jelly Sep 28, 20:54
cmon yankees.... -- nm - prayformojo Sep 28, 20:53 2
- seriously. - kelly Sep 28, 20:54 1
  - bozos! -- nm - prayformojo Sep 28, 20:55
Gotcha, bitch. -- nm - TFox Sep 28, 20:51
Come on, Papelbon. -- nm - David Sep 28, 20:48 3
- how did you root for both teams? - mud Sep 28, 20:52 2
  - They didn't play each other any, so it was easy. Tomorrow would have been trickier. -- nm - David Sep 28, 20:54 1
    - makes sense -- nm - mud Sep 28, 20:55
Time for paps to earn that money. -- nm - TFox Sep 28, 20:48
mara!!! we need secret weapon -- nm - loosilu Sep 28, 20:45 15
- Okay. It said "defensive units halved," and you know, we're the ones defending. -- nm - mara Sep 28, 20:47 13
  - they're defending themselves too. -- nm - loosilu Sep 28, 20:48 12
    - And it still doesn't make sense to me. One nation attacks, the other defends. Call to arms specifies attacking units, secret weapon specifies - mara Sep 28, 21:01 4
      - maybe attacking/defending units are defined by their attack/defense power? -- nm - loosilu Sep 28, 21:03 3
        
        That occurred to me, but we're placing units with higher defensive scores, so if that's what's halved, it's still our disadvantage. -- nm - mara Sep 28, 21:06 2
        
        Oh, well, all that matters is that it worked. :-) -- nm - mara Sep 28, 21:10 1
        
        yep, I'm not gonna quibble. :) -- nm - loosilu Sep 28, 21:17
    - There was really no need to panic. We were winning. -- nm - mara Sep 28, 20:49 6
      - I'm a panicker. they already beat us several times. -- nm - loosilu Sep 28, 20:52 5
        
        also, thanks! that somehow made me queen. -- nm - loosilu Sep 28, 20:52 4
        
        Saw that! -- nm - mara Sep 28, 20:55 3
        
        if I knew anything about how to manage a battle, I would be doing that right now. -- nm - loosilu Sep 28, 21:04 2
        
        Sadly, I'm the minister of defense right now. As far as I can tell, that means I can put other player's troops on heroic. -- nm - mara Sep 28, 21:07 1
        
        yep. you're supposed to toggle between heroic/fortify based on who's attacking. and you retreat units if you need to open a slot. -- nm - loosilu Sep 28, 21:26
- like now. -- nm - loosilu Sep 28, 20:46
At least now I'm officially not the Braves jinx. -- nm - Dano Sep 28, 20:44
