Well. This looks familiar.

[Dionysus]

FailCloser.

[ifmanis5]

WOW. Street has never been the same since he came back from his injury.

[Jed Zeppelin]

This is exciting baseball.

The announcers are so disappointed haha. No fun in their voices. Wish Gus Johnson was calling this game.

[P'tucket, rhymes with...]

Wow. Papelbon would fit right in on either of these teams next year.

[Redkluzu]

Wow, it must be in the water.

[Sprowl]

This game continues to get more interesting.

[radsoxfan]

Street pulls a Papelbon, ouch

[PayrodsFirstClutchHit]

And that's the sound of silence... Eat it Rockies fans. Join the suffering.

[Dionysus]

Lidge blows this.

[Redkluzu]

This made me laugh out loud.

[ifmanis5]

Where are all the Bill James fanboys who say that "Anybody can close, it's so easy. It's only a few outs.' Fuck off.

[Adirondack jack]

Matt Holliday and the remnants of Matt Holliday sure having a tough post-season

[Jed Zeppelin]

Say what you will about Orsillo but he doesn't sound like he stepped in poo when something bad happens to the Red Sox.

[P'tucket, rhymes with...]

Street pulls a Papelbon, ouch

Or, Papelbon and Street pulled Nathans.

Been a rough postseason for closers.

[3rd Degree]

Lidge blows this.

Was just going to bring him up. No matter what happens here, the Rockies still have a great chance.

9-1-2 due up.

[shawnrbu]

Ouch. Rough way to lose a series.

[Soxy Brown]

oof. Gut wrenching.

[radsoxfan]

The similarities to the Red Sox game are unbelievable

[Paradigm]

Awesome game.

Too bad this announcer sounds like he's on quaaludes.

[ifmanis5]

It's like watching someone get dumped by a hot chick. Except on national television. The horror.

[P'tucket, rhymes with...]

I do not think that argument means what you think that argument means.

[radsoxfan]

9-1-2 coming up for the Rox also

[drtooth]

Bad week for elite closers

[brienc]

Or, Papelbon and Street pulled Nathans.

Been a rough postseason for closers.

Hopefully Rivera will soon be joining the parade.

[SemperFidelisSox]

I think if the game is in Denver it's called pulling a Brady.

[Redkluzu]

Then we have to watch this unbelievably stupid commercial. What is a BLACKJACK TACO?

[P'tucket, rhymes with...]

How the fuck can a team with WS aspirations have a dead-bat Ferenghi on the bench?

[shawnrbu]

How do you not walk Werth with a base open?

[PayrodsFirstClutchHit]

These TBS announcers sound pissed that they are missing a Game 5 payday.

[ifmanis5]

I do not think that argument means what you think that argument means.

I'm too lazy to search out all the old threads but I've had the argument about 100x on this board.

[SemperFidelisSox]

Houston Street has some god awful postseason numbers.

[PayrodsFirstClutchHit]

No pressure kid. You miss it, we lose.

[axx]

No Brad Lidge? I was hoping for the Pujolsesque epic GW HR

[ifmanis5]

Rockies mascot is on my last nerve.

[InsideTheParker]

A gimpy Eyre gets the nod over Lidge? What did I miss?

[radsoxfan]

Think Billy Beane would like a do-over on that Holliday trade? I guess it comes down to how good Brett Wallace ends up, but Gonzalez looks pretty good.

[Redkluzu]

A gimpy Eyre gets the nod over Lidge? What did I miss?

It's the lefty hitters--

But gotta say, interesting choice

[Gdiguy]

A gimpy Eyre gets the nod over Lidge? What did I miss?

The 2009 season?

(sorry, I thought that was hilarious and couldn't resist... it's amazing how far Lidge has fallen from last year, though)

[Soxy Brown]

Rockies mascot is on my last nerve.

I was about to mention this. What does a triceratops have to do with anything? Were they just like, "Fuck it, we're going with a dinosaur"?

[SemperFidelisSox]

Lidge pitched last night in Game 3 and I'm pretty sure it took him about 258 pitches to get 3 outs, which is why Eyre is in.

[PayrodsFirstClutchHit]

Bring in Lidge for the walk off

[redsoxcentury]

Lidge coming in

[Adirondack jack]

Lidge will be in now

...ie, this ain't ovah, yet

[shawnrbu]

Lidge vs. Tulo -- same matchup as last night with 2 on and 2 out.

[Redkluzu]

Herrrrrrree comes Lidge

[axx]

Sweet! Here goes Lidge to blow it!

[ifmanis5]

Buckle up, it's gonna be a bumpy landing.

[Soxy Brown]

No matter the outcome, someone's soul is going to crushed. So that's kind of exciting.

[drtooth]

I sense a 3-run bomb
