Even Year Magick vs. They're Due!

[normstalls]

It's a fair criticism though right? I know I am (as I assume many others are) certainly thinking about it tonight

It was so awful and very fair. As a big market team, with all he had done on and off the field, it's just so inconceivable and depressing all wrapped into one. I'm not usually one to dwell on missed signings, because they are rarely as clear cut at the time of the signing as hindsight, but this one was such a no-brainer and Lester is such an amazing performer and it would seem person, I'm not sure when the sting will go away. Days like this sure don't help.

I hate John Henry so much right now.

Hey, he's just a rich guy who takes advice. Sometimes it's the wrong advice.

 

[glasspusher]

hell of a game! Enjoyed it with an old high school friend who's a lifelong cubbies fan.

 

[Ed Hillel]

I don't really hate Henry, and feel lucky that ownership group brought us what we've had. But this one smarts.

 

[glasspusher]

A-Rod, Pete Rose, and Frank Thomas doing post game. Yeesh.

And A-Rod has to visibly rely on his notes.

Didn't watch. Really? C'mon, A-Rod, make me like you for something!

It does. I too would have liked to see Lester in Boston for his entire career.

I couldn't agree more. The Sox not signing him will depress me for a long, long time.

Wrigley was electric last night. I am fully on the "if not us, them" bandwagon.

 

[PseuFighter]

Will be at Wrigley tonight before hopping an early plane to Cleveland in the morning. Hope it's like last night. Can't wait.

What is the song they play when the Cubs win?

 

[Bob Montgomerys Helmet Hat]

I think it's still Go Cubs, Go

By Steve Goodman

 

[E5 Yaz]

Tonight, it's this

 

[Bob Montgomerys Helmet Hat]

The Giants offense is not good

 

[mauidano]

That's a unique camera angle from above CF looking in.

C'mon Giants.

 

[glasspusher]

Tonight, it's this

I really liked that song when I was...8.

I think it's my favorite Paper Lace song

 

[Bob Montgomerys Helmet Hat]

Samardzija is not good

 

[glasspusher]

I think it's my favorite Paper Lace song

Mine too.

 

[glasspusher]

I had forgotten how much Bob Costas' voice grates on me.

 

[CoffeeNerdness]

They have a stupid graphic showing where the defenders are on the field, but no K zone. That's just weak.

 

[Al Zarilla]

I had forgotten how much Bob Costas' voice grates on me.

He sounds like Ernie Harwell to me compared with Harold you know who.

 

[mauidano]

Oh man, just got a text from one of my best friends. 7 rows back straight up from home plate tonight. Ya think he's having fun?

 

[Al Zarilla]

This game is so fucking over what with the Giants offense.

 

[glasspusher]

He sounds like Ernie Harwell to me compared with Harold you know who.

I'd rather be burned to death than frozen to death.

 

[Al Zarilla]

Oh man, just got a text from one of my best friends. 7 rows back straight up from home plate tonight. Ya think he's having fun?

And it just got worse.

 

[Bob Montgomerys Helmet Hat]

The Giants are who they were in the second half. A shitty team.

 

[Ale Xander]

Samardzija is not good

 

[johnmd20]

Cubs can win the NLDS. They have shown this. I hope they smite the Giants and then we'll see.

[Ale Xander]

Lead halved

 

[jon abbey]

Love or hate the Cubs, this is pretty amazing:

 

[Ale Xander]

The Blanco ph was huge

 

[Al Zarilla]

I get a kick out of some hitters, get a hit like Blanco there and then they turn to the dugout and yell LET'S GO! As if he's going to magically inspire everybody to get a hit now.

So that only worked when Jeter willed his teammates to win?

I'm going to look for who does that for the Sox tomorrow. Hope there's a huge sample size!

 

[CoffeeNerdness]

Ouch.

 

[glasspusher]

"keep the line moving, keep the line moving..."

 

[glasspusher]

Ouch.

yeah, rilly. Hopefully they can ice him up good and he can stay in the rotation.

 

[CoffeeNerdness]

Let the collective panic begin.

 

[trekfan55]

Can Travis Wood go long? Seriuosly do not know.

At least the Giants starter is out as well

 

[glasspusher]

any town named “lynchburg” really needs to change its name

 

[Bob Montgomerys Helmet Hat]

Hasn't gone more than 1 2/3 since May, but he used to be a starter. And Maddon is a genius. So who knows.

 

[PseuFighter]

that was unexpected.

 

[Curt S Loew]

Can Travis Wood go long? Seriuosly do not know.

He went long.

 

[PseuFighter]

well they're not screwing around

 

[CoffeeNerdness]

Travis Wood has more HR and RBI than Pedroia, Papi, X, Betts and Bradley combined.

 

[mauidano]

MadBum has got this shit covered.

 

[patinorange]

Don't dive back into second Madison.

 

[mauidano]

Need to see a play at the plate with Bumgarner.
