MLB 2009 Part 2

Or PFan's favorite player will fuck up big time.

I have my seven game streak riding on Clifford giving up two or more earned runs, so imagine how excited I was seeing 2 runs on the board early.

Then I checked the fucking box score.



Have their really been five total errors in the first three full innings in this game? The NL East. Where Amazing Happens.

A few of us have a little Streak club and seven is the highest I've gotten. Maybe six, I'm not sure. I stopped participating when I left for Europe, though, and have not gotten back into it.

 

[impy13]

I hit ten one time, which I was extremely proud of. But then CS Fullerton fucked me and I never won the t-shirt you get for getting to 13.


Tuesday: Millwood vs. Joba the Hutt
Wednesday: The Dutch Oven vs. Pettitte
Thursday: Dustin "the Christmas Card" Nippert vs. Burnett

I hate picking baseball games, believe it or not.

 

[impy13]

Me too. I'm 34-26-5 on my baseball picks, but there are a lot of props in there as well as matchups. 4-1 in boxing gives it my best real percentage, but among the sports I pick a lot, tennis is best at 13-5-4.

Streak for the Cash is cool, guys.

 

[No spoken words]

Tennis and Soccer are my best, I think.

I hate doing business with the worldwide leader, but it's fun and I like doing it with a group of idiots.

Funny, I can't find you in the photo.

The Phillies actually have the fewest errors in the NL. Utley just royally fucked up and got two errors on one play (or so the boxscore says since I can't fucking watch it).

Ryan Howard is beginning to hit his annual "finish the stretch run on fire" phase, which is always entertaining.

Sicy could work wonders with that.

 

[phanan]

I predict 4 wins by the Sox.

Way to go out on a limb there.

 

[dan_smee]

Lowell HR, having a good month.

 

[phanan]

You ready for these next four days Hewson, speedracer, phanan, and wherever the hell CtU2fan and that other guy are?

Should be a fun one.

The first one was certainly entertaining.

 

[phanan]

The Red Sox have made more moves this year than any other in recent memory.

 

[DaveC]

I am pretty much ready to offer Cliff Lee my firstborn in sacrifice. There's no way he isn't omnipotent.

 

[GirlsAloudFan]

Even though he pitched all those years for the damned Twins, I've always really liked and respected Johan Santana. Disappointed to see that he had a bit of an off year and that it was cut short by injury.

 

[Dalton]

It really fucking sucks to not be able to watch your team or listen to them on the radio.

If you've got an iPod touch you can use the MLB app and listen to every game for only $9.99/year. Not bad.

 

[Dalton]

Being the best in the AL Central is strangely akin to being the biggest hog on the Bob Evans farm.

 

[Dalton]

I don't think things like this are usually the criticisms of the Philly fan. Usually we're simply portrayed as drunken hooligans, as opposed to pessimistic curmudgeons. I think the latter is just me.

Is "curmudgeon" a synonym for "douche"? If so, I totally agree with this post.

If I had an iPod Touch I could do a lot of things.

 

[Got Philk?]

Yup, there's an app for that

 

[Hewson]

And there's the jinx pfan has been dreading.

Meanwhile, Impy:

It's fucking on in The Bronx.

 

[impy13]

The Wild Mothafuckin' Turkey agrees.

One heck of a two-out rally there, eh?

 

[impy13]

That Cano homer would have barely been out on a fucking Little League field.

Yeah, well done. I like how Lewin comes in his pants when he talks about the young players.

Same dimensions for both teams, eat it.

 

[impy13]

I'd have said the same thing even if it was my beloved Elvis who hit it.

Yeah, Lewin gets a little hyperbolic when he talks about them. He also talks about home runs fucking constantly. Never manufacturing runs. Down two in the ninth? "Well, if Michael could get on base here, wouldn't be bad to see Josh dump one off over the right field fence." Shit like that. Constantly.

I'm a bit of a Lewin apologist (some of my friends want to murder him) in that he doesn't bother me and I've learned to live with him, but it's hard to deny he's.... unique.

 

[speedracer]

The Rangers announcers are homers, but I think they acknowledge the other team fairly, unlike a lot of other crews (coughcoughTAMPABAYcoughcough).

 

[No spoken words]

Speed, Tampa's duo are the worst. Almost Hawk Harrelson bad.

Lewin is garbage, though, sorry Imperor. Grieve is fine, not great, but fair at least. Lewin does a lot of editorializing, and talks more about the players themselves than the actual game. He whines when calls do not go the Rangers way, etc. Just not a fan.

 

[impy13]

You know you love this little bitch.

Actually my biggest thing I hate about him is when he calls Cool Whip "Hambone."

 

[No spoken words]

That little bitch had a nose job, too. I wonder if David Hill made him do it, or if it was voluntary.
