MLB 2008: The Playoffs

[phillyfan26]

I wish Gus Johnson had announced that shit.

 

[Hewson]

What the fuck? Okay, I haven't been online all day, haven't been near a tv, so, um, I hope you're kidding. *heads to espn

C'mon John as a major leaguer, you should know that no signings can happen till after the World Series.
Chode will be departing Southern Oregon in early November with some other rats (K-Fraud, Tex) who are desperate to leave that sinking ship.

Chode will be in either Chicago or St Louis.
K-Fraud already has a deal in place with Omar Minaya
Tex has been seen having lunch with Shallow Hal and Mr. Hankey.

 

[phanan]

So, um, where's the game?

Wow, TBS. Wow.

So, um, where's the game?

Wow, TBS. Wow.

Isn't this just great

 

[phanan]

What the hell has gotten into BJ Upton?

 

[Varitek]

I like that I had no problem watching the whole game from the start IN EUROPE while all of America was without it.

 

[Varitek]

I don't like Beckett or Crisp.

 

[Varitek]

fuck yeah

friend i'm chatting with ruined it by YOUUUUKing 5 seconds before i saw it. so now i'm back at a disadvantage.

 

[No spoken words]

So, um, where's the game?

Wow, TBS. Wow.

My coworkers and I are all texting each other in sympathy, wow. Issues in their Atlanta studios/master control facility....unreal.

[coolian2]

Perhaps they should be based in Atlanta, Germany.

no fucking excuse for that. seriously. people already are hating tbs enough, this has got to be a breach of contract so mlb can get out of whatever with them and never use their rubbish coverage again.

While there is no excuse for it, it is of course not a breach of contract.

 

[Varitek]

fuck my namesake.

 

[Varitek]

it is the most massive sports broadcasting cockup since... i dunno, since something massive and a long time ago.

but i reveled in the delightful irony.

 

[No spoken words]

fuck my namesake.

No thanks, I'll leave that to you.

 

[Varitek]

My ex boyfriend has an interesting idea: DH for varitek and let beckett bat. He's quite proficient with the bat, not a bad idea.

It's a massive fuck up, no doubt, and someone will likely get fired, still not a breach of contract though.

 

[Varitek]

No thanks, I'll leave that to you.

I probably would, if given the opportunity.

Horrible idea, he's your ex for a reason.

Though we'd be fucked when Beckett comes out in the 3rd.

 

[No spoken words]

I probably would, if given the opportunity.

Do you think that I doubted that for even one second?

 

[speedracer]

So, uh, Beckett might want to start throwing something other than a 91 mph fastball. Even the groundouts have been hit really hard.

 

[Varitek]

Horrible idea, he's your ex for a reason.

He is my ex for a reason, and he's not serious about it, just has a hot temper and gets mad at people who have been underperforming for 5 months...

We did have a hilarious chat last night for about 2 hours about how to pick up girls, post college. That's the reason he's my ex.

 

[Varitek]

Do you think that I doubted that for even one second?

No but I had to give the rest of the intranetz confirmation.

Stupid idea regardless of why he comes up with stupid ideas.

Glad you have fun chats with him, though, good times.

 

[No spoken words]

No but I had to give the rest of the intranetz confirmation.

That's fair and quite thoughtful, actually...my apologies.

 

[lazarus]

...or maybe he was underperforming for 5 months...

 

[Varitek]

we've won 6 of our last 7 road games facing elimination

the 1 of 7 was the worst night of my life.

 

[Varitek]

...or maybe he was underperforming for 5 months...

all 18, actually.

But then is it really underperforming, or was it a mistake to call him up to the big leagues in the first place?
