This Angels/Red Sox game in Boston is still going. 2:15 AM in Boston and they're in the 12th inning, courtesy of a long rain delay and the Sox scoring 3 runs in the 9th. Awesome.

The guys in the booth are audibly yawning.

This game is some five hours old, is in the 12th inning, had what I believe was a considerable rain delay somewhere in the middle, the remaining Boston fans are singing to themselves in the stands and the winning run just got cut down at home plate on a double off the wall.

 

Dan Schulman Dave O'Brien is a trooper and I am tremendously entertained.

 

On to the 13th we go!

And it would have been over in the ninth if Cameron didn't get thrown out trying to advance to third base.

[Guest]

Just saw that they had to come back out and play at 1:30 ET today also.

[UMFan83]

What time did that game actually end?

[CubmanPi]

Pretty sure I saw that it went until 2:45am. Less than 11 hours before the next gametime. Ouch.

[UMFan83]

Man Red Sox fans are much cooler than Cubs fans:

Jaime [expletive] Garcia with a perfect game through 7.

If it has to happen, Im glad its vs. the Brewers.

[UMFan83]

Normally I cheer for perfect games....not today.

[Schwarber Fan]

perfect game over on 4 pitch walk to McGehee

[Cronos006]

Loses the perfecto on a walk to McGehee.

 

Something else still going on. Or not. Still throwing a heck of a game.

I know this isnt the general Cubs sentiment, but my Brewers hate outweighs my Cardinals hate, which is still strong. I spent 4 years going to school in Wisconsin, and everytime a Wisconsin team beats a Chicago team, they act like they just won the Super Bowl/World Series/NBA Championship. After they took the Super Bowl, I couldnt bear them getting the World Series too.

Guyer with his first MLB HR tonight :banghead:

And?

 

Remember when Sam Fuld was tearing the cover off the ball? You probably thought it was horrible we included him in the trade for Garza also. Well, he's OPSing .442 over the last 15 game and he's down to .714 for the season.

[Sammy Sofa]

On the upside it's a middling zero of a player that another team's fans will annoyingly latch on to instead of Cubs fans.

there's a gigantic difference between fuld and guyer. fuld was always going to be a AAAA guy or a 5th OF. guyer was ranked #10 among cub prospects by BA and put up big numbers in AA last year, and then continued to rake this year.

My point was one home run doesn't make it dumb to include the guy in a trade. It might end up being dumb if Guyer a solid pro, but right now, who knows. Also, it's a typical AramisFan overreaction.

Are you refering to Fuld or Guyer?
