Does that Adams guy still bang his stupid drum out in centerfield?

 

[Raider Nation]

 

[Premier]

They sent Molina to have Loney set up again in the next inning.

That whole sentence would seem insane 6 months ago.

 

[Raider Nation]

Bourne's identity: horrible.

 

[Limp Ditka]

Not on top of Rays bullpen happenings, but how isn't there a LHP ready to go for Chisenall/Bourn if the leadoff hitter (ETA to add: Or Gomes) gets on?

Because Bourn sucks?

 

[Eephus]

Jeez Swish

 

[Raider Nation]

Swisher bringing back memories of his last few postseasons in pinstripes.

You could send a toddler up to the plate and he'd have a better chance of getting a hit.

 

[Premier]

Yea he looked like he was trying to send one to the moon. Kind of ridiculous.

 

[Limp Ditka]

Looked like he blasted through a couple of lines before he came up.

 

[Raider Nation]

I really wanted to see Tito poop all over the Red Sox. :(

 

[Eephus]

The Indians' best hope now is Rodney laying a turd

 

[Premier]

The Indians' best hope now is Rodney laying a turd

That was always their best hope.

 

[Premier]

Welp, time to get on the Rodney Coaster.

 

[Raider Nation]

Oh well. The #1 objective is to get rid of the Red Sox, and I suppose Tampa is better equipped to do that than Cleveland.

 

[pollardsvision]

Kershaw up high, now bringing the hammer.

 

[pollardsvision]

Nice work there in the OF for the Braves.

 

[pollardsvision]

Wow. Not gonna beat Kershaw with boneheaded plays.

 

[pollardsvision]

Oof. This one might be over.

 

[Limp Ditka]

AGone!

 

[Premier]

Beej Upton vs. Kershaw should just be an automatic out. Like they don't even have to play it.

Watching the Rays the other night, I glanced at the TV when Jennings came up to bat, and my mind thought it was Upton for a split second.

That was such a happy split second.

 

[Raider Nation]

Is there a way the Dodgers can win this series in 2 games so we won't have to watch the BORING-ASS Braves much longer?

Minor and Teheran are about to throw back to back gems. Stay tuned.

 

[Doctor Detroit]

Reds firing Dusty isn't that surprising to me.

Only 4 years left!

Reds firing Dusty isn't that surprising to me.

Maybe not, but be careful what you wish for Reds. Hasn't he made the playoffs everywhere he's managed? How did his teams do before he arrived (honest question - I don't know)?

Dusty joined the Giants along with Barry Bonds, the Cubs during Mark Prior's first full season and the Reds during Votto's rookie season.

I've defended Baker on this board a lot because I think he generally does a good job with the man management parts of the job, but he's been fortunate to fall into three situations at fortuitous times.

He leaves the game (for now) with 1671 wins and 167 games over .500. He's had a good run.

I heard on the radio he is 0-9 in elimination games

 

[culdeus]

I had no idea that ESPN had also put Rachel Nichols out to pasture. They sure turn over their nookie girls quickly these days.

 

[Uruk-Hai]

Honestly, I have no idea how good Baker was as a manager. But, if he was just plain lucky in all 3 stops, I'd think at least 15 teams would want to see if he could get lucky a 4th time.

 

[Don Quixote]

Walking Reed Johnson to get to Heyward worked about as well as I would have expected.

I'm not wishing for anyone.

 

[gump]

Finally a good game.

 

[FunkyPlutos]

Why do they let the Braves' pitcher have that crap on his hat???

 

[Doctor Detroit]

I like how Jason Grilli puts his Soul Glow on the ball on every pitch, and no one even considers calling him on it.

Why do they let Hanley put stucco all over this helmet?

And why do we care?

I didn't say they were bad. I said they were boring. And they still are.

 

[Eephus]

Was Brian Wilson this annoying when he was with the Giants or has his schtick gotten more tired?

Always annoying. Very much so.

Outside of Puig and Kershaw, what's intetesting about the Dodgers?

Uribe? Schumaker?

Eh he was pretty funny for like a week or two a couple years ago

I'll give you Hanley. Gonzo and Zack aren't interesting. In fact, Gonzo seems like a run of the mill schmuck.

Greinke is pretty interesting. Belisario is an interesting bullpen arm as is Kenley Jansen. If Brian Wilson isn't interesting, it sure isn't from lack of trying.

 

[Raider Nation]

I played the most Major League games while never appearing in the World Series.

Who am I?

No cheating, jerkfaces.

Ernie Banks seems like the obvious answer, so it's probably not him
