[xbrokendownx]

[LeftWideOpen]

Rays in 3.

[rcrook]

Rays in 4

[CarlosLunes]

lets go white sox!

[Vanilla Bear]

Rays in 5

[StandMyBrothers]

Rays in 3

[crit]

Rays in 3

[MyWorldEntire]

I can't pick against this team. I did it in '05, I'm not going to do it again. White Sox in 5

[sodamnclever]

sox ftw.

[DaveFeelsRight]

go sox go

[sweetforever]

Hate to say it, but Rays in 5

[sodamnclever]

go sox go
nice avatar.

[ForlrnPerplxity]

Rays in 3

[robat19]

not the sox

[pand75]

Rays in 4

[Smithers]

rays in 4. for some reason, i think they lose Kazmir's start.

[xbrokendownx]

his increasing ERA every month is probably the reason you think that haha

[DaveFeelsRight]

I don't think it will be a sweep. This could be the last chance for jr and thome to get a ring.

[Scott Weber]

i hope it's a sweep.

[Chris M.]

Rays in 4

[imirish06]

The Rays are a great story but I'd love for Griffey to play in the WS.

[duhpunk]

rays in 4.

[Scott Weber]

ughhhhhhhh i could barely sleep.

[IceAge/HeatWave]

i had a dream: chicago cubs v. chicago white sox. game 7 of the world series. ken griffey jr. hits a walk off 3-run homer to win the game (they were down by one run). and he retires as soon as the games over.

i suppose it's because i hate the cubs. but i would cry if that happen. i look at griffey as a father to me.

[DaveFeelsRight]

so PUMPED

[DaveFeelsRight]

i dont think this was posted...

http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/news/story?id=3621395

[DaveFeelsRight]

oh, and i hope i dont hear that fucking cowbell at all in this series

[Smithers]

oh, and i hope i dont hear that fucking cowbell at all in this series
ha. good luck with that one. that's like asking for no Frank TV commercials.

[DaveFeelsRight]

ha. good luck with that one. that's like asking for no Frank TV commercials.:-(

[Scott Weber]

i've been watching games all year and I really don't even notice the cowbells that often.

[CarlosLunes]

i have only watched red sox @ rays games, and the cowbell is the most noticeable aspect of the broadcast

[Scott Weber]

guess i just don't notice, maybe it's the mlb.tv feed. i never really noticed the drum at indians games either.

[DaveFeelsRight]

i've been watching games all year and I really don't even notice the cowbells that often.that cowbell was definitely there earlier in the year

[Scott Weber]

let's do this!

[DaveFeelsRight]

i hear it already!

shields was spot on for that at-bat

[Scott Weber]

shields looking good.

[SilenceBrokenTT]

So what's up with their new stadium plans...

[DaveFeelsRight]

i think ozzie should start swish over wise for once

[Scott Weber]

i don't get TBS in HD :(

[DaveFeelsRight]

i don't get TBS in HD :(i do, but its acting up really bad right now soooooo :-(

[DaveFeelsRight]

needle dick has a good inning

[Scott Weber]

yeah he owned pena, 3 swinging strikes.

[DaveFeelsRight]

good job konerko. waiting for the right pitch.

[Scott Weber]

haha griffey's bat speed = not what it once was.

[DaveFeelsRight]

haha thats all hes been doing with us, striking out on 3-0 count

[DaveFeelsRight]

ugh

[Scott Weber]

LONGO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! x

[Scott Weber]

this is a classic CC at bat, foul 2 pitches off and then strike out without taking a single ball.

[duhpunk]

I love Evan

[Scott Weber]

fuck!

[duhpunk]

damn, just foul...

[DaveFeelsRight]

well needle dick settled down after that bomb

[duhpunk]

lol. Nice catch

[Scott Weber]

nice baserunning by Navarro to take a double on that.

[DaveFeelsRight]

metrodome flashbacks X-)

[DaveFeelsRight]

thank god that stupid bloop doesnt come back and bite us in the ass

[Scott Weber]

great 2-2 pitch by vazquez, that had some serious snap to it.

[duhpunk]

the only thing that scares me about the Rays is if they put in Percival and he continues to pretend he's not hurt.

[Scott Weber]

the only thing that scares me about the Rays is if they put in Percival and he continues to pretend he's not hurt.
percival isn't even on the playoff roster, buddy.

[DaveFeelsRight]

pena is out

[Scott Weber]

oh shit, Pena is out? wtf???

[duhpunk]

percival isn't even on the playoff roster, buddy.
Really? I had not heard this

[DaveFeelsRight]

thats a nice break for us. hopefully it isnt serious for you guys

[Scott Weber]

FUCK, come on carl, get there.

[DaveFeelsRight]

a...bunt?

[Scott Weber]

shields had an easy play at 3rd...........

[DaveFeelsRight]

aww fuck

[Scott Weber]

i really miss harold, he is a great commentator.

[DaveFeelsRight]

WISE


x

[duhpunk]

dammit!!!

[tD77]

Sweet!!

[Scott Weber]

i feel sick.

[Drew Beringer]

DEWAYNE WISE!

wow that was a bullet

[Scott Weber]

TERRIBLE pitch by shields.

[DaveFeelsRight]

good hit dye

[Scott Weber]

shields is throwing like shit

[DaveFeelsRight]

good inning, good inning

[duhpunk]

wow. What a craptastic half inning for us

[Scott Weber]

shields was a mess that inning, that's his worst part of his game, falling apart an inning at a time and serving up the long ball.

[Scott Weber]

AKI!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! asdhaskjdhaskjdhasjkhdqw!!!

[DaveFeelsRight]

needle dick is going to fall apart now

[duhpunk]

yeah Aki!!

[Scott Weber]

LOL @ griffey, just retire already. i love you but that out is so easy 10 years ago.

[deadstar]

White Sox are hiding Griffey in center. Afterall, it is the easiest outfield position.

[duhpunk]

AKI!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! asdhaskjdhaskjdhasjkhdqw!!!

you almost spelled it right

[Scott Weber]

jesus upton, what the fuck?

[DaveFeelsRight]

5 strike outs already?

[Scott Weber]

god why is aybar here and not Pena, this sucks.

[SilenceBrokenTT]

Speed killz

[DaveFeelsRight]

close play at home, fuck

[Scott Weber]

great, great throw by wise.

[Scott Weber]

man, that was a nice slide.

[DaveFeelsRight]

omg

what the fuck p,gd

[Scott Weber]

LONGO!!!!!!!!!!!!AHAHAHAHahahaHAHAH A

[SilenceBrokenTT]

Damn that was a quick turnaround

[DaveFeelsRight]

fucking longo

[duhpunk]

YEAHHH Evan :-)

[Scott Weber]

I am wearing my Longoria jersey with so much pride right now

[DaveFeelsRight]

i knew that was gone as soon as he hit that

[thesteve9x]

Longo is tearing up his post-season debut. That 2nd one was an absolute blast.

[gonz]

This game is awesome

[DaveFeelsRight]

this is going to be a better series than everyone thought

[duhpunk]

I am wearing my Longoria jersey with so much pride right now

If I had the cash for one, I'd be sporting it now too

[thesteve9x]

That throw by Wise was so money, that guy is going to play a huge role in this series.

[DaveFeelsRight]

terrible at bat by konerko. some hittable pitches

[DaveFeelsRight]

4-5-6 havent done shit this game

[Dr. Acula]

I see Javy is turning in another sterling performance.

[Scott Weber]

gross catches them napping!

[duhpunk]

So sick of these same four commercials

[Scott Weber]

let's go shields, don't let this spin out of control.

[DaveFeelsRight]

wtf was that peirzynski

[Scott Weber]

lol ozzie, nice call

[duhpunk]

owned by navarro

[DaveFeelsRight]

yeah seriously

[Scott Weber]

navarro has such an accurate arm.

[DaveFeelsRight]

it feels like we're down by 3 or 4 runs

[Scott Weber]

steal 2nd, BJ

[Scott Weber]

harold reynolds is the best in the business, he fills time with factoids and tidbits better than anyone else espn has.

[duhpunk]

harold reynolds is the best in the business, he fills time with factoids and tidbits better than anyone else espn has.

baseball on ESPN is boring as hell most of the time

[Scott Weber]

look who's up...

[duhpunk]

possible hat trick again?

[Scott Weber]

pitching away

[DaveFeelsRight]

i dont want to see vazquez in the 6th

[duhpunk]

Come on Vagquez, pitch to him

[Scott Weber]

longo needs to make something here because CC is a guaranteed DP

[Scott Weber]

Evan!!!!!!

[duhpunk]

I'll take it. Would have loved a moonshot though

[DaveFeelsRight]

get the fuck out of here needle dick

[WFUJerseyJon]

I want to be Evan Longoria. It's just not fair how good he is.

[Scott Weber]

come on CC, let's see a triple.

[duhpunk]

you're doing it wrong CC

[Scott Weber]

Cc!

[duhpunk]

much better

[Scott Weber]

cliff! wait on that!

[duhpunk]

how many long fouls is cliffy gonna hit?

[duhpunk]

we defnitely need a new stadium; just not in st pete

[DaveFeelsRight]

i dont want to see vazquez in a sox uniform ever again

[Scott Weber]

enough about the catwalks already

[duhpunk]

Scott, are you capable of concieving Evan's babies? Your facebook status concerns me..

[Scott Weber]

Scott, are you capable of concieving Evan's babies? Your facebook status concerns me..
i would if I could right now.

[DaveFeelsRight]

i predict a griffey strike out, konerko ground out and a alexei fly out

[duhpunk]

I really hope I am eligible to buy tickets for the ALCS if TB makes it

[DaveFeelsRight]

1/2 so far

[duhpunk]

fuckkk

[DaveFeelsRight]

we HAVE to score here

[Scott Weber]

he leaned into that. fucking AJ.

[DaveFeelsRight]

fuuuuuuuuuuuck

[Scott Weber]

balfour is a beast!

[duhpunk]

atta boy Balfour

[DaveFeelsRight]

uh oh

[Scott Weber]

WTF is cabrera jawing at?

[sodamnclever]

[duhpunk]

[DaveFeelsRight]

[Scott Weber]

SIT THE FUCK DOWN Cabrera you fucking bitch. You got owned.

[duhpunk]

[DaveFeelsRight]

[Scott Weber]

shit's weak. shiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiit's weak

[pand75]

Why the hell did he do that? It wasn't even inside lol

[duhpunk]

haha

[DaveFeelsRight]

at times like these i miss quentin

[duhpunk]

anyone want to give me a quick recap. i had to go to class when it was 3-1. i come home and now it is 3-6! lame.
I skipped class to watch this and don't regret it at all. It's been an intense game

[Scott Weber]

you could clearly see ozzie say "if you don't....you fucking walk him"

[Scott Weber]

I'm skipping work, haha.

[sodamnclever]

I skipped class to watch this and don't regret it at all. It's been an intense game
I was considering it, fucking quizzes.

[duhpunk]

come on hat trick!

[duhpunk]

you could clearly see ozzie say "if you don't....you fucking walk him"

I'm not a sox fan but I love Ozzie for shit like this

[Scott Weber]

lolololol konerko

[DaveFeelsRight]

you could clearly see ozzie say "if you don't....you fucking walk him"i think he said,"i dont care if you walk him"

[pand75]

lol Sox

[duhpunk]

I'm skipping work, haha.

and I apprecate your enthusiasm

[Scott Weber]

i think he said,"i dont care if you walk him"
no way, he defintiely said "you fucking walk him"

[DaveFeelsRight]

2 innings to get 3 runs..4 to take the lead. not with this line up.

[duhpunk]

i think he said,"i dont care if you walk him"
We're talking about Ozzie. He definitely said fucking in there somewhere

[duhpunk]

Why are these bitches looking for the walk?

[DaveFeelsRight]

you're only good as your starting pitcher...and we all know needle dick sucks

[duhpunk]

lol. Percival is Mr Miyagi

[Scott Weber]

3 more outs! i love Howell's stuff.

[DaveFeelsRight]

richard should have started this game. ugh.

[duhpunk]

let's see if Floyd can keep one fair this time around

[startBBtoday]

i can't believe all these people knew how to get to the trop

[Scott Weber]

roccoooooooooo

[Scott Weber]

the whole series is sold out, good sign for the franchise.

[DaveFeelsRight]

the whole series is sold out, good sign for the franchise.it looks like some of the rows in the upper deck are sealed off

[duhpunk]

i can't believe all these people knew how to get to the trop

where the fuck did they all park is what I wanna know. St Pete blows. Took us forever to find parking for the Red Sox series

[Scott Weber]

Insurance runs plzzzzzzzzz

[startBBtoday]

i still can't understand why these people weren't here all year

[DaveFeelsRight]

Insurance runs plzzzzzzzzzlol why? our offense will go 1-2-3 in the 9th

[Scott Weber]

i still can't understand why these people weren't here all year
because it's a city who has never had a reason to give remotely a shit about baseball

[duhpunk]

the whole series is sold out, good sign for the franchise.

doubt it. Attendance will he a little better, but won't be anything significant until the team moves to Tampa, which I don see anytime soon

[Chris M.]

Has it bothered anyone else that Harold Reynolds has been referring to the Field Turf as Astro Turf the entire game?

[Scott Weber]

doubt it. Attendance will he a little better, but won't be anything significant until the team moves to Tampa, which I don see anytime soon
how can it not be a good sign? i don't think anybody expects sellouts right away next year, but this is a good turn. but i agree st. pete's locatation hurts.

[Scott Weber]

Has it bothered anyone else that Harold Reynolds has been referring to the Field Turf as Astro Turf the entire game?
haha he's just used to the kingdome.

[startBBtoday]

because it's a city who has never had a reason to give remotely a shit about baseball


the average attendance the rays' first season was 30,000, you'd think their first winning season would be similar.

[Scott Weber]

come on BJ, be patient.

[rcrook]

no, if its not grass it's astro turf in my eyes. field turf, astro turf who gives a shit.

[Scott Weber]

harold is the greatest.

[duhpunk]

I might live in Tampa next summer to work, and I will likely get a half season ticket package if I do

[DaveFeelsRight]

peace upton

[Scott Weber]

wtf? that last pitch was not a strike, BJ's fault for giving the ump some lip on the last pitch is why he got punched out.

[duhpunk]

shit, I was in the other room. What happened?

[Scott Weber]

LOL konerko hahahahahahaha

[DaveFeelsRight]

hes so fucking old

[Scott Weber]

this is a hell of an at bat by konerko.

[DaveFeelsRight]

good. hes throwing everything hes got. hopefully it will make it easier for griffey and alexei

[DaveFeelsRight]

holy fuck old man

[Scott Weber]

that was so impressive, fuck.

[duhpunk]

that was the least exciting homer I've ever heard

[DaveFeelsRight]

holy christ griffey you are fucking stupid

[duhpunk]

man, wheeler is lobbing turds

[Scott Weber]

wheeler is going to throw 90 pitches this inning

[duhpunk]

you're doing it wrong

[Scott Weber]

i love how they talk about Ramirez like he's some young rookie when he's 27

[duhpunk]

finally. Jesus

[duhpunk]

:dance:

[Scott Weber]

phew!

[DaveFeelsRight]

i wouldnt call this a depressing loss, but it sure sucks.

vazquez blows

i dont want griffey in the line up tomorrow

[imirish06]

I don't often get to see the Rays play here. They're a fun team to watch.

[Scott Weber]

I don't often get to see the Rays play here. They're a fun team to watch.
x2

[xbrokendownx]

i saw plenty of the rays and i dont need to see more!

haha but seriously, they are fun to watch. its just weird seeing a team from the AL east not named boston or new york as the division winner

[RyanFTW]

Cabrera getting owned with the bases loaded is my favorite playoff moment right now.

"SIT DOWN!"

[rcrook]

anybody want to fill me in on what happened with o-cab. i just watched the at bat on mlb.tv and i have no clue why he kicked dirt at balfour then said fuck you. the pitch was a foot outside.

[Scott Weber]

anybody want to fill me in on what happened with o-cab. i just watched the at bat on mlb.tv and i have no clue why he kicked dirt at balfour then said fuck you. the pitch was a foot outside.
no idea. i think it stems from something earlier in the season, maybe. or maybe cabrera just wanted to be pitched to. either way he got owned.

[SilenceBrokenTT]

Any vid link of that?

[DaveFeelsRight]

i went to a wrigglyville bar across the street from the stadium in my sox hat last night. bad idea. although it made the night exciting.

anyway...I love jr. but i'm kinda glad he's not in the lineup tonight. all i want is for them to make it to the next series. just praying the pitching holds up this time.

[DaveFeelsRight]

anyway...I love jr. but i'm kinda glad he's not in the lineup tonight. all i want is for them to make it to the next series. just praying the pitching holds up this time.i have no worries about Buehrle, Floyd and Danks. I don't want Vazquez near the mound at all.

[Scott Weber]

woo, game time.

[DaveFeelsRight]

well, im going out for the game. heres to a white sox winner

[Scott Weber]

i have a bad feeling about kazmir today. he's been so shaky lately.

[Scott Weber]

yeeeeeeeeeeeeeesh.

[Scott Weber]

kazmir's all over the place. not good.

[Scott Weber]

classic kazmir. rays are fucked.

[Scott Weber]

............

[Scott Weber]

HUGE out.

[heyozzie]

haha. oh AJ

[Scott Weber]

kazmir CANNOT finish people off.

[heyozzie]

well that coulda gone a little better,but i'll take 2 runs.

[Scott Weber]

finally. shit. if this is kazmir's bad inning, i'll take it.

[heyozzie]

yea, his pitch count is gonna be huge if he stays on this path

[heyozzie]

hey was there any story behind that little cabrera/balfour spout last night? i never heard anything else about that. it was weird, outta the blue

[Scott Weber]

hey was there any story behind that little cabrera/balfour spout last night? i never heard anything else about that. it was weird, outta the blue
not really. cabrera saw balfour shouting after he struck out uribe and wanted him to throw to him so he talked some smack. when balfour struck him out, he said sit the fuck down.

[Killadelphia]

nice start black sox

[heyozzie]

ahhh i gotcha. god, did longoria kill us yesterday. that guy is dangerous. i'm glad that ab wasn't a repeat of last night's.

[Scott Weber]

kamir is horrible, bring in david price.

[Killadelphia]

probably a lot of nerves or maybe he just wants to make mets fans now feel as bad for the trade.

[heyozzie]

shit!

[Scott Weber]

settle down navi.

[Scott Weber]

woooooo! 2-1!

[heyozzie]

whew. damn, that error sucked. at least they only got 1
