Seattle needs a new manager again

Of course there is always the Mickey Mantle mention.

Yes, we went over that previously. MM card in his wallet; was it one that was worth thousands in excellent-mint condition?

Little known fact unless Bob Costas mentions it already....Crapazza is the son in law of infamous umpire Richie Garcia who blew the Jeffrey Maier call in Yankee Stadium in the '96 playoffs and made a hero out of the little prick.

The thing that always pissed me off about that play is the way Garcia kept pumping his finger up into the air while Terasco was in his face, flipping the fuck out. Like he was so damn certain of his terrible call.

I hope I'm remembering this correctly, but one of the highlights of this incident was Mike and the Mad Dog ripping Meier's father a new one when he called in to try to extend his moment in the sun

These people should not cheer bunting.

In the fifth inning of a game that could end up 9 - 8.

Yeah, the MFY's played it up too and gave the kid seats behind the dugout. Of course we all know who hit the ball....

Al Zarilla · Oct 9, 2015

Rambling, but kind of dumb to have two ALDS games started and maybe completed before either NLDS game starts. I know, Mets - Dodgers in prime time. Cubs - Cards too.

mauidano · Oct 9, 2015

Donaldson pimping his pop up.

MLB.com, log in with your cable info.

This could get ugly quickly for the Jays.

I'm not seeing how to do that, unless you are a current mlb.tv subscriber.

"It's a sky-high pop, but obviously it can't reach the sky with the roof closed." Seriously?

rembrat · Oct 9, 2015

Pet peeve of mine.. Jimenez is pronounced "HE-men-ez" not "GYM-enez."

Its spelled Gimenez for this dude. Not sure that makes the pronunciation difference here or not.

Isn't any pop-up, by definition, sky high?

This ump

He is bad

InsideTheParker · Oct 9, 2015

Hitless in his last 26 post=season ABs!!! Now 27. Hey, maybe play someone else?

I was hopeful he would have a good series. The last series vs the Angels he hit 2 in one game if I remember right!

InsideTheParker · Oct 9, 2015

The internet is so great. I heard the first inning in the car, but I had trouble envisioning it. So, I go to mlb, and there it is:

I never heard Odor's nickname as Stinky. Costas brings it up twice. Annoying little shit (Costas).

DamageTrain · Oct 9, 2015

Costas' odor jokes are an embarrassment.

mikeford · Oct 9, 2015

God what a horrible route by Bautista. That was outta the Jim Edmonds playbook.

This ump is an utter joke

Al Zarilla · Oct 9, 2015

Someone teach Stroman to tip his cap, or is he going to do a curtain call?

After Harold Reynolds last night, anyone is Vin Scully.

mauidano · Oct 9, 2015

Do we really need the ultimate close up in HD of Stroman's face?

BestGameEvah · Oct 9, 2015

C' mon Nap!

Whoever is working the camera's & the pitch box....they definitely have Blue Jay shirts on!

Boo Fielder, you suck in post season.

Yes!

Great call, Bannister!

InsideTheParker · Oct 9, 2015

Good job, how come you couldn't do that earlier this year, Nap?

soxhop411 · Oct 9, 2015

What in the world is Gibbons doing?

Thought you said it was hitting coach.

E5 Yaz · Oct 9, 2015

Kaat's first major league game was 56 years ago.

I wonder about things; I don't know enough, but I know enough to know that I don't know.

Now who's out? (Not watching)

Do or die for the Royals today. Gonna run into the 15-0 at home Keuchel in Game 3. Good luck with that.

Cecil! Caught right foot under Nap

Al Zarilla · Oct 9, 2015

8th inning against Toronto. If this were Boston playing it would be all "don't trust Taz here one bit. OMG. OMG, OMG!" Unless Sox manager didn't even use Taz because Toronto.
