9/25- This is Hell

This is hell, this is hell
I am sorry to tell you
It never gets better or worse
But you get used to it after a spell
For heaven is hell in reverse

I'm afraid Bello is going to give up Judge's *important* homerun. I'd rather it be one of our usually crapulent guys (like Brasier) because if I have to hear about it for the next century, I'd prefer it to be a guy I don't care about. Bello might just have a good career and I'd rather he didn't have this particular albatross.

It's Lars Anderson's birthday. Is he a star yet? It's also Rocco Baldelli's birthday. And of course, it's the 54th birthday of Reggie Jefferson.

7PM ESPN game. (ugh.) See you all later.

Make the Maris family have to go to Toronto.

 

[caminante11]

This is elimination day for the Red Sox. A loss or Seattle win and that’s it. Don’t let us win tonight!

 

[E5 Yaz]

Don’t let us win tonight!

Which way do you mean that?

So according to CBS Sports, Arroyo is suffering from a "non-Covid" illness. Such unfortunate timing.

That would make them sellers, right?

 

[Coachster]

Close. It would make them cellars.

Arroyo is just too unreliable. The guy gets Covid and a non-Covid illness in the same season.

 

[Mueller's Twin Grannies]

[Rovin Romine]

Slow clap.

 

[Rovin Romine]

This is one of those ESPN only games, which means I will not be able to watch.

It's only fair. I don't believe in cable TV - cable TV does not believe in me.

That means I depend on you, the devoted few, for scurrilous observations and innuendos about Horse-face and his pin-striped henchmen with their child-molester mustaches.

Don't let me down.

 

[JohnnyTheBone]

Xander "Hit King" Bogaerts draws the clutch walk.

 

[Rovin Romine]

JD continues his quest for his 13th home run.

(Cue music)

 

[E5 Yaz]

Out in Fenway

 

[Back Bay]

Did ESPN dedicated its introduction for Aaron Judge?

 

[SemperFidelisSox]

Did ESPN dedicated its introduction for Aaron Judge?

They showed all 60 of his homeruns. Seriously. That was the intro to the broadcast.

 

[absintheofmalaise]

Judge does it!

 

[absintheofmalaise]

A hit down the line that is.

 

[SemperFidelisSox]

Past a diving Dalbec.

 

[InsideTheParker]

If Reffy's arm broken?

 

[E5 Yaz]

By the way, ESPN, Bello did a good job getting out of that after the leadoff double

 

[Back Bay]

Judge hangs his head at 3B.

 

[Back Bay]

By the way, ESPN, Bello did a good job getting out of that after the leadoff double

You should consider getting a job at ESPN so we get actual baseball coverage.

 

[InsideTheParker]

By the way, ESPN, Bello did a good job getting out of that after the leadoff double

Excuse me. Didn't you mean you comment on the manly way Judge trotted back to the dugout for his glove?

 

[Bob Montgomerys Helmet Hat]

By the way, ESPN, Bello did a good job getting out of that after the leadoff double

What does Aaron Judge think about that?

 

[absintheofmalaise]

I'm really looking forward to watching Bello next season. His improvement from when he was first called up is very impressive.

How do you think he will fare against Judge next year?

 

[InsideTheParker]

How do you think he will fare against Judge next year?

How often do the Sox play the Dodgers?

 

[Back Bay]

How often do the Sox play the Dodgers?

If it's the new thing sticks, every year

 

[Rovin Romine]

JD continues his quest for his 13th home run.

(Cue music)

Scott All-Star Cooper had single season high of 13 home runs. Is his family in the stands?

 

[YTF]

If it's the new thing sticks, every year

Swing and a miss

Don't let me down.

The fact that they continue to make it harder to be able to watch games astounds me. There were 6 games today that I had no way to watch (legally) due to various reasons, even though I have a subscription through MLB to watch games. Just blows my mind.

 

[InsideTheParker]

I have the sound off, but from the visuals it would appear that Judge was in the game from the dugout.

 

[JohnnyTheBone]

Just what America was craving, a live interview with Master Bader.

 

[strek1]

What's the matter? Judge didn't agree to get miked up?

 

[JohnnyTheBone]

Celebrating Yankee facism, this is classic ESPN.

 

[Lose Remerswaal]

How do you think he will fare against Judge next year?

Hopefully in Batting Practice.

 

[strek1]

Just what America was craving, a live interview with Master Bader.

Reese is wearing a mic?

 

[JohnnyTheBone]

Fucking Bader yelping into the mic and into my living room is annoying as shit. ESPN fucking suuuuuuuuuuuucks.

Mute button activated.

 

[shawnrbu]

I can’t tell if Bader is the perfect Cardinal or the perfect Yankee.

 

[twibnotes]

That was the most painful in game interview yet. Bader seemed like a total tool

 

[Mueller's Twin Grannies]

They Bader not interview him again.

 

[InsideTheParker]

Somebody explain the approach there. He got two strikes on him, then threw 4 balls in a row?

 

[JohnnyTheBone]

Judge's nuts are sure to be squeaky clean after this broadcast crew is finished with him.

 

[caminante11]

The Mariners led 11-2 and if they won would eliminate the Red Sox. But the Royals scored 11 runs in the sixth and won 13-12. The Red Sox are still alive!

 

[absintheofmalaise]

Somebody explain the approach there. He got two strikes on him, then threw 4 balls in a row?

He was trying to get him to chase a pitch just out of the zone low to either get a K or a DP ball.
