Good luck... GAF. Hope they pull this off for you guys

Ha!

 

[Headache in a Suitcase]

Oh dear. Has it really been that long?

Spoiler

Poor Grady Little.

 

[bono_212]

Ha!

I wrote him that long detailed response to his question about that, too, and he never even acknowledged it

Looking that up led me to this:

I can't really take a list seriously that has 8 moments from the past 15 years out of the 9...

Alas... I still hold a grudge against Willie Randolph for sending a hobbled Cliff Floyd up to pinch hit in game 7 of the NLCS instead of bunting the runners over.

 

[bono_212]

I liked Dusty getting a spot all to himself, lest the whole list be him

Is this real life?????????

We got a game

Chicago Cubs manager Joe Maddon defends decision to bring in closer Aroldis Chapman with 5-run lead in Game 6

Spoiler

Ladies and gentlemen, Wine Glass Joe.

If only Chapman had ever expressed to Maddon his dislike for coming in with runners on.

 

[bono_212]

It's a good thing they rested him up 5 yesterday at least.

 

[the tourist]

Wowza!

 

[deep]

Rajai
making Indians proud

 

[Hewson]

Deep, making racists proud!

This is intense. Love game 7's

Has there ever been a worse managerial performance in the World Series?

Great range from Lindor

 

[bono_212]

Chapman again? Sure... Why not.

 

[Hewson]

Chapman still in, feels like a Joe Carter ending coming.

 

[gump]

Great range from Lindor

That play will get lost in the shuffle. But it was incredible. He fielded that ball in short right field.

I was never really big on the whole Joe Maddon fancy play syndrome, but I think I am starting to understand.

 

[the tourist]

Maddon's Chapman usage has been problematic at best.

 

[gump]

He's only throwing sliders now!

Nevermind.

Free baseball.

 

[Headache in a Suitcase]

Why wouldn't the World Series between the two most inept franchises in baseball go to extra innings in Game 7?

And a rain delay to boot

 

[bono_212]

Just kill me now.
I can't take much more. Heart is pounding.

 

[DaveC]

this is fantastic. i hope a walk-off wins it.

sorry ashley.

 

[Headache in a Suitcase]

Just to be clear... In an hour or so after this rain stops there is enough rain to stop this shit for hours upon hours.

They need to get going soon. If this goes, say, 13? It might not be able to end

The collective stress of both teams fans, if bottled and turned into energy, could run this country for the next 40 years.

We could use it to build that wall....
