Fucking Ks the side (gameday) and I cant SEE it? FUCK YOU MLB. I WILL MELT YOUR FACES

Holy shit! How many faces does MLB have? Is it fucking Cerebus? Or a goddamned Hydra? I am afraid to attend any more games!!

[EllisTheRimMan]

The whole team walks too much on account of over-reliance on OPS?

I hope this is a joke.

I fucking love, nay, cherish the fact that I am paying 20 dollars a month to not watch a baseball game.

[Kdelle]

Well, the Indians gave up a long time ago and have a lame duck coach.

But yeah....he looks fine.

I don't get why Wedge is staying on......

You have to read the JD Drew thread on the main board. It's a hoot.

[Dionysus]

OK. NESN feed doesnt work at all, but Indians one does. You just can only use the nextdef mode, which means we'll be behind the gamethread... but at least its something.

[InsideTheParker]

He has a contract; he wants to work again somewhere.

I have and it is.

[Reverend]

Good thing I wont have to use MLB.tv for the playoffs. If they did this to me during them, I would find them.

OK, Hawkeye.

This is pretty annoying though. Don't they have backup plans and backup plans for their backup plans?

[mauidano]

You know even after kicking the ball, Valbuena could have still made it close at first if he would have thrown the ball!

The JD Drew thread should be avoided at all costs.

[metaprosthesis]

As a random aside: Does anyone know if the 'Red Sox Nation' 'perks' apply for post-season games. In particular, I am curious about early entry ( I have standing room tickets).

[Pandemonium67]

Yeah, Cleveland feed is working. Thanks.

[Dionysus]

Yeah, Cleveland feed is working. Thanks.

It's terrible though. The audio sounds like its being recorded in a soundproof booth in the building across the street from the stadium.

With pillowcases over the broadcasters' mikes.

Indians fans have to listen to this all year?

He's under contract for 2010....Is his contract guaranteed?

Last bit on Sockalexis:

NY Giants manager John McGraw said Sockalexis was the greatest natural talent he had ever seen.

According to the 100% historically accurate portrayal in Major League, the Indians only have like 9 fans and they all have season tickets.

[EllisTheRimMan]

3-0 Caps... ugh

[metaprosthesis]

Wow. The Indians broadcasters are almost as lame as the Phillies guys. The level of excitement over a double was equivalent to "Hey, I got TWO cherries on my sundae. Fancy that!"

[EllisTheRimMan]

I think Lester is fine.

[TFisNEXT]

Lester sizzling.

Is that it for him? Do you yank him after 77 pitches? Or do you let him go one more.

[Reverend]

Restarted computer and mlb.tv works. No idea why.

[Dionysus]

Alright.

I'm ready for the ALDS.

[Bob Montgomery's Helmet Hat]

Let him pitch one more. He has a week off ahead of him.

[teddywingman]

I'd say he should go back out... pitch count of 95-100 which would keep him stretched out.

[DennyDoyle'sBoil]

It's silly, but I very much want the team to hold on tonight. Just to show it remembers how.

[SoxFan234]

Alright.

I'm ready for the ALDS.

Fuck yes.

[Dionysus]

It's silly, but I very much want the team to hold on tonight. Just to show it remembers how.

Agreed. And I want Lester to get one more inning - both to give the pen some rest and because, frankly, its fucking fun watching him pitch.

[Bob Montgomery's Helmet Hat]

Jacoby up to .301

[Dionysus]

I like the 3 hit night for Jacoby. If he's hot going into the playoffs, that's huge.

[kartvelo]

Does it seem like other teams' catchers can throw out our fastest guy, and our catchers can't throw out other teams' slowest guys?

Yes it is.

[Dionysus]

As pissed as I am about the CS, I have to say that was about as perfect a throw as you could make and they still only just barely got him.

[InsideTheParker]

NESN sound all screwy on Directv.

[kartvelo]

And now the audio problems return.

The commercials are fine....

[Dionysus]

Do the Indians have a secret underground training complex with a mock Monster? They play it VERY well.

[DennyDoyle'sBoil]

I like the 3 hit night for Jacoby. If he's hot going into the playoffs, that's huge.

Yup. On the other side, the 2 out RISP numbers tonight stink. That stat seems to be important in the playoffs. The only time Jacoby didn't get a hit tonight was when he runners on and 2 out.

So far tonight, 12 hits, 3 walks, in 6 innings. Should be more runs.

[Bob Montgomery's Helmet Hat]

Bard starting to warm. I wonder if that means that Lester is on a strict pitch count

[Dionysus]

Probably.

[DennyDoyle'sBoil]

Is it my imagination or did Peralta just walk on 4 strikes?

[Bob Montgomery's Helmet Hat]

Probably.

I'm gonna go with 85

[teddywingman]

Funny little moment there between Lester and Francona... Tito's on the mound and Lester wasn't handing him that ball, then he kind smiled and gave it to him. Anybody else see that?

I blame JD Drew.

[TFisNEXT]

I blame JD Drew.

Drew willed the other guys to not get RBIs in those situations.

[Harry Agganis]

Bard working himself into the sixth inning guy

[TFisNEXT]

Bard doesn't want any meaningful post season innings.

[bosox188]

Bard is going to scare me in the playoffs

[Bob Montgomery's Helmet Hat]

I would really prefer seeing Bard not suck. He's really sliding down the depth chart.

[curly2]

Bard working himself into the sixth inning guy

Bard working himself into the 13th inning guy, when there's no one else left in the pen.

[SemperFidelisSox]

So who trusts Bard? Anyone?
