ALCS gamethread Royals vs. O's

[BornToRun]

Will and fire don't count for shit, Steve, if he can't make a decent pitch.

 

[Joe Shlabotnick]

This will get ugly very quickly. As much as I hate them, the O's have no quit in them. At this point, I expect them to win this game and win the series in 5. Unless Shields somehow gets out of this.

 

[glasspusher]

Gets ahead and then minces. Finish the job...

 

[soxhop411]

Wow

 

[MakMan44]

So.fucking.lucky.

 

[soxhop411]

That took balls

 

[BornToRun]

Nice frame by Perez.

 

[MakMan44]

Lol

 

[soxhop411]

Yost you idiot

 

[DennyDoyle'sBoil]

Lame, Big Game James. Lame.

 

[Al Zarilla]

Piece of Shields.

 

[glasspusher]

nice piece of hitting. Those KC outfielders are keeping it to a minimum

 

[soxhop411]

#yosted

 

[mauidano]

Fuck you James Shields.  Get out of my life.  And stop it with this ridiculous chant/song.  I hate it.

 

[MakMan44]

Finnegan to face Flaherty was such a fucking obvious move.  

 

[Hank Scorpio]

Ugh. Terrible.

 

[BornToRun]

You're one out from avoiding a meltdown and you let a turd like Flaherty beat you? Big game James my big fat ass.

 

[CoffeeNerdness]

Yostada'd.

 

[Joe Shlabotnick]

When you let Ryan Flaherty do that you don't deserve to win. O's got this. Just ask the Tigers.

 

[MakMan44]

OMG

 

[glasspusher]

No way he comes back for the 6th, right?

 

[MakMan44]

Lucky Game Shields should be his new nickname

 

[LesterFan]

James Shields is going to be our #1 next year guys

 

[soxhop411]

No way he comes back for the 6th, right?

It's yost so it's the opposite

 

[syoo8]

Do we really want this guy on our team?

 

[BornToRun]

No way he comes back for the 6th, right?

The name is Yost, Ned Yost.

It's not even dinner time here. Trying to watch a game with my 8 year old, she's asking, "what is keeping an erection"? Hate to be a fucking prude, but these commercials are over the top.

At least the old Viagra commercials didn't come right out and say what they were selling (like the couple in a bath tub). I agree This one is way over the top

 

[Hank Scorpio]

For the record, I do not want the Red Sox to pursue James Shields this offseason.

How did you answer? When I was 6, I asked my mother what rape was, and she said it was a kind of robbery. Good answer, I think, and satisfied me for a while.

 

[Joe Shlabotnick]

The answer is a resounding fuck no.

 

[CoffeeNerdness]

Phew, he's got the chance for the W which is really all that matters.

 

[hitatater]

Shields may not deserve it, but that is some really fine RF defense.  That was an obvious double in most any other game. 
 
Good baseball!

 

[BornToRun]

Welcome to SOSH, Harold Reynolds.

 

[MakMan44]

Phew, he's got the chance for the W which is really all that matters.

I love everything about this post. 

 

[DennyDoyle'sBoil]

9 playoff starts. He's only gotten past the sixth inning twice, and not since 2008. ERA over 5.00. Only 1 quality start in his last 7 playoff starts.

I think he needs another nickname.

 

[Harry Hooper]

Ahh, Ernie, it's a follow-through, not a backswing.

 

[soxhop411]

Can the royals get a new manager between innings?

Please just don't fuck everything up James.

 

[syoo8]

The answer is a resounding fuck no.

 
Ummm... thank you

 

[Joe Shlabotnick]

Unlikely the Royals score off this pen so KC's pen really needs to be huge.

Good thing that the KC pen has been a death sentence for the other team all year.

Misdirection. I talked about whatever she was doing on Minecraft while I think about it. If it comes up again I will just say, "it's about medicine that makes you healthy" and see if that does it.

 

[SemperFidelisSox]

TBS mics keep picking up the PA announcements in the press box.

 

[Ed Hillel]

Man, these games are sllloowwwww

 

[soxhop411]

Please don't say that shields is back out

 

[glasspusher]

At least the old Viagra commercials didn't come right out and say what they were selling (like the couple in a bath tub). I agree This one is way over the top

 
I also like that the Viagra ads are subtly sex neutral. The woman says "guys, it's you and your honey"

 

[mauidano]

This guy is available.

 

[BornToRun]

Please don't say that shields is back out

Honestly, I'd be laughing too hard to get angry.

 

[BornToRun]

This guy is available.

Kill it with fire.

 

[soxhop411]

Good he is out
