Royals vs Giants-WS Game 1

[nattysez]

That's just idiotic by Flannery.

 

[Al Zarilla]

Good call, Blanco.

I hope Posey isn't looking to Blanco for hold up or go.

[soxhop411]

Shields is bad right now

 

[glasspusher]

So if the Padres ever get into the world series, it'll be f their incredibly large homeless population and the surfer scene?

 
That, and their military industrial complex

 

[DennyDoyle'sBoil]

Looking at the replay, he didn't get it in right until Buster reached third. Forcing them to make a good play and they did. 

 
Very slow runner, though, and only one out with a pitcher who has given up three hits to four batters so far.  

 

[InsideTheParker]

Shields is the problem with rooting for the Royals. I have been saying to anyone who would listen (i.e., my husband) that I will be miserable if the Sox hire this guy.

 

[Hyde Park Factor]

Buster Posey is no Butch Huskey, that's for sure.

 

[Yazdog8]

PENCE!!!!!

 

[Kilgore A. Trout]

Is the camera angle off or something?  This strike zone seems tiny.

 

[ifmanis5]

BIIIIG GAAAAAMMEEEE

 

[MakMan44]

Ouch

 

[mauidano]

Holy Shit! Hunter Pence!!!

 

[CarolinaBeerGuy]

Wow.

 

[singaporesoxfan]

In honor of Sung Woo Lee's presence, Tim Flannery does his best Wendell Kim impression.

 

[glasspusher]

Shields, you suck

 

[rodderick]

I guess it didn't take long for Big Lame James to show up today.

 

[kieckeredinthehead]

If the Sox sign Shields but not Lester...

 

[Seabass]

This is a bummer. 

 

[OnWisc]

I hope Posey isn't looking to Blanco for hold up or go.

I doubt he is, but still no need.

 

[Al Zarilla]

Yost face!

 

[soxhop411]

Yup

 

[bankshot1]

A very Big Game, James, thanks for playing

 

[RIrooter09]

Rooting for the Royals, but damn seeing Shields get embarrassed is really enjoyable. 

 

[SemperFidelisSox]

Big Game Giants.

 

[glasspusher]

Pence- intense. Shields- tense

 

[soxhop411]

Pull him

 

[syoo8]

Wow.  "Big Game" James comes up small yet again.

 

[P'tucket rhymes with...]

So we're throwing how much money at Shields this winter?

 

[Ed Hillel]

Has there been a less apt nickname in sports?

 

[BornToRun]

I'm starting to think that Big Game is actually referring to the hitters he's pitching to.

 

[glasspusher]

Hey, Shields is overthrowing like Wacha was

 

[MakMan44]

Has there been a less apt nickname in sports?

This is a good question

 

[InsideTheParker]

Oh, boy, I love looking at Pence.

 

[singaporesoxfan]

Is the guy in the orange shirt behind home plate Marlins Fan Guy?
 
Edit: Yes it is!

 

[soxhop411]

Seriously pull him. He has nothing

 

[OnWisc]

Pence looks like Viking from Bad Boys. Not that one, the good one.

 

[Pearl Wilson]

The Sox are not signing Shields.No Way.

 

[mauidano]

Could get real ugly real fast.  Jackets should be coming off in the pen.

 

[Hyde Park Factor]

The Royals have to be getting someone warm, right?

 

[DennyDoyle'sBoil]

5.70 ERA now in the post-season.  
 
Edit -- sorry, 5.64.

 

[pedro1918]

Yeah, I still hate Shields.

 

[Rough Carrigan]

Herpes Free Cap'n Jetes!

 

[Yazdog8]

The Sox are not signing Shields.No Way.

 
Just pay Lester already...

 

[InsideTheParker]

Has there been a less apt nickname in sports?

It's amazing, b/c his mother gave him the name, and everyone just repeats it!

 

[Dan to Theo to Ben]

good job good effort Panty Shields

 

[Bob Montgomerys Helmet Hat]

Has there been a less apt nickname in sports?

The Big Unit.   Or at least that's what I heard.

 

[soxhop411]

Wake the fuck up yost and get someone warm
