2013 Playoffs Game Thread

This has to be one of the worst played world series ever. pathetic.

That was the last Cardinal WS. Worst coached (drunky and coke head) and worst played. F U Nelson Cruz.

Watched the game w/ the in laws (10! StL fans) last night...they just can't understand why the BOS players have unkept beards while Waino, Lynn, etc look so much more professional.

 

They seem to overlook the fact that Yadier has a TATTOO on his fricken neck!

Just keep repeating "Rally Squirrel" over and over again.

So annoying. Big night tonight in the StL...MNF and the WS. Lotta mullets and fanny packs running around!

Good lord is Ortiz on fire. This is getting ridiculous.

[ConstableRabbit]

Carpenter complimenting Ortiz through his teeth. Sounds like a [expletive] dick doing so.

cardinal fans seem to really enjoy calling ortiz an ape/gorilla/monkey.

i would've had a really tough time deciding on whether to let lester hit there. significantly increase your chances of scoring more runs with a pinch hitter, but he's been rolling and has a low pitch count, and the sox' bullpen hasn't been lights out. probably would've left him in to hit.

[Guest]

I don't know, I think I would have PH for Lester but at least Ellsbury got one run in after that.

Ross looked kinda safe there.

Ross looked kinda safe there.

 

I think he would have been if he didn't slide with the grace of a newborn gazelle. He had the right idea and just couldn't make his body do it.

 

 

I have to think that Lester in the 7th isn't so different than Workman/Breslow that it's worth basically punting one of your 2 chances to make it 4-1. At least they picked up one so hopefully it becomes moot.

Don't think he got the plate. Was a great throw anyways, I'll take the 3-1 lead.

it's quite possible that he goes the 7th and 8th, since his pitch count was only 69 thru 6. to me it would've been an easy decision if the sox had a lights out middle reliever. workman hasn't been great this year and breslow's numbers this year were somewhat of a mirage.

 

anyway, it's an interesting discussion, and i suppose one of the reasons that i like no-DH baseball.

That was a pretty epic paper airplane.

[Guest]

I forgot about Dempster too, he's probably the best bridge to Tazawa/Uehara.

McCarver just said Ortiz 'is not a slow runner at all.' Yep, time for Tim to retire.

matt adams versus lhp in his career: .208/.219/.375/.594

 

red sox: let's take out a lhp and put in a rhp!

[TruffleShuffle]

whelp, don't totally understand the move, but it worked out. hang in, sox.

Koji humiliates RHP and LHP equally, it's all the same downward spin you can't pick up.

Every game is full of cringe worthy observations from old Timmy. Last week he said, "A walk is as good as a home run."

oh he's definitely awesome, but he's been somewhat prone to allowing home runs (really his only achilles heel). just would've been terrified to put in an opposite-side pitcher to face a power hitting fat ass like adams when he is basically useless against lhp. but then again, everything is terrifying when the stakes are this high.

God Koji is a boss
