I hate baseball. It's too painful to watch other teams and fans be happy.

I understand what you're saying, but this series should be interesting, and I want to see the Rays win, so I'll tune in. I admit, I probably won't watch the NLCS much, but I think Red Sox-Rays should be a nice series.

 

I don't want to watch Dodgers-Phillies, I hate both teams. I'll watch some of the games, but probably only the last few innings.

Seems pretty darn likely it will be Matsuzaka @ Shields.

 

I can't wait. :D

BTW, I took out TBS in the title, as it reached the max amount of characters and I couldn't fit it in, but I'm assuming everyone knows it's on TBS.

why is Daisuke laughing at UNC?

[Roast]

I hate baseball lots right now.

 

That said, Go rays. I wont watch any games but I hope you win.

[Soul]

That's a great picture though. I must have missed that fight.

Nobody needs a reason to laugh at UNC ... but I'm wondering that as well.

I'm pretty sure I'll be able to watch the ALCS (if I'm around) just because the Cubs couldn't play in it anyway. The NLCS will be tough as will the World Series.

injuries or not, kotsay at first is puh thet ik

[reggiemiller rules]

I just noticed that the Red Sox have now passes the A's as the whitest team in baseball. Their whole team on the field except for Dice-K is white.

[chuckywang]

Is Francona an idiot? You have Okajima and Papelbon, why bring back Matsuzaka for the 8th?

[TruffleShuffle]

terrible 3-0 green light

[chuckywang]

Chip Caray is bad at math.

 

(graphic showing game 1 winner wins 55% of time in best of 7 series)

Chip: As you can see .. game 1 ... very important.

I'm not sure why Dice K was laughing at UNC, I found it on Google Images. Boo UNC (I live in North Carolina, but like the Illini) . :wink:
