Krueg, after following your posts all year I would think you would be most likely to understand someones emotions getting the better of them. Since you don't, c'est la vie.

Sorry John YF, I was flip because I was still feeling a little emotional about Elsbury not winning it. It was uncalled for. I believe Elsbury was a no brainer as much as you feel the same about Granderson. Additionally, I do have a problem w/ pitchers winning that award, as well as the concept that a player has to be on a playoff team to win. Sometimes a player has an exceptional season on a team that just isn't going anywhere, should that cost him the recognition he deserves? Krueg, I'm hardly a troll.

Wow, get back on your meds.

Devine, F*CK TEXAS! I hope Nolan Ryan has a stroke tonight.

What's all this low expectations talk I am hearing from the Yankees fans? What a lame argument to not be disappointed, I thought there was only one acceptable goal every year as a Yankees fan, to win it all. Everything else is a disappointment. If "The Boss" was still around, heads would roll!

What an amazing performance by Carpenter, shame on the Philadelphia for letting it get to a game 5. Of the remaining 4 teams the Cardinals have as good a chance as any of them to win it all and would be the first team I will root for, followed by the Brewers then Tigers and finally Rangers. Milwaukee could really use one, it's just hard to root for a team with a player named Prince.

Yes!

At this rate Mo is going to pitch in the 7th.

Walking Posada? Inexcusable!

Thanks. Like a good IPA as well.

< I'm drinking a Boulevard Dark Truth Russian Imperial Stout. > I looked it up and it has some excellent reviews. I will give that try sometime. Right now it's Guinness Draught.

Thankfully, Bard shut me up. Even gameday is a pitch ahead of Fox.

Still don't trust Bard. Think he's been over used this year.

Please bring Lester out for 1 more. He seems to have gotten a little grove going and is only at 109.

The fact they delay the broadcast almost makes it seem like they know they suck, because it screws up syncing the radio with the TV. But it got me to thinking about when I was a kid watching the Celtics and listening to Johnny Most on radio. Those were the days.

I can't stand watching the game on Fox. Tried turning the volume down and listening on WEEI but Fox broadcast seems to be delayed and that is almost as annoying as the clowns on Fox. They are so pro Tampa Bay I keep waiting for one of them to go down on Joe Maddon.

> ...'cause Price v. Wakefield...hoo boy. I think we'll see a different Wakefield now that he has the 200 win monkey off his back.

> Put this game on Infinite Improbability Drive, and maybe we'll get through it..... Maybe we can bring Marvin in to finish it out.

lol

How does Swisher complain about that?

Wow, after that huge pitch count advantage Burnett only winds up pitching 1/3 of an inning more than Lester. Weird.

Nine hits, one run. That's twice the bases have been juiced with no joy. Sounds like the Sox in game 1.

Well Ironhorse if that is the case and I have no reason to doubt it, it has certainly had more of a negative effect on Lesters' performance. In general, it has seemed to me the umpires have been really squeezing pitchers more this year. Just a qualitative observation.

Boy, that umpire has some kind of grudge against Lester.
