These two mega studs should rub goatees.

Yeah, but I'm fat.

My best game plan is to sit on the bench and call out specific instructions like 'C'mon Boog,' 'Get ahold of one, Frank,' or 'Let's go, Brooks.' -Earl Weaver

Someone at TBS had better be fucking fired.

Like an hour ago.

And of course, the ESPN radio affiliates here

don’t bother with baseball at all.

Gameday until TBS gets their shit straight for me, I guess.

Yeah this is pathetic

I have to resort to gameday for game seven of a deciding game in the ALCS. If something doesn’t change soon, I’m out.

WTF?

Newsflash, TBS, a little scroll at the bottom of the Steve Harvey show showing the score is NOT acceptable. This is absolutely absurd.

Here's a live feed

http://channelsurfing.net/watch-mlb-gamemix.html

Apparently, TBS is having serious trouble, and a Tampa Bay TV station posted the link on its site. No audio aside from teh game, and it’s a 4 screens in one deal, but still, live video coverage.

Oh for fuck's sake, Cousins

that was a strike when Beckett threw it.

Call the same zone for both of these guys, you douche.

You're clearly out of touch

That hemp necklace hanging out of his shirt is clearly fashionable; especially because it complements the other three pendants/relics.

What happened with the umpire?

I switched over to the Caps game for a quick minute and missed out on something…

one of the Rays didn't like his strike zone

so they asked Delmon Young to come down and throw a bat at him

Game over

The wrong teams wins, bummer.

Also, Miroslav Satan not being a Devil is a failure on the part of his agent and the Devils franchise, because how many Devils “Satan” jerseys could they sell…

Even though it’s Garza pitching, won’t Lester be up for the Sox?

There is a woman who is actually crying

I’m sorry, I might be wrong, but I just feel like none of the people who are at these games gave a shit about this team before July of 2008. Granted, there has to be some true diehard Tampa fans out there, but I just get the feeling that they are few and far between.

What gives you that idea?

Oh, right, the fact that the place was always pretty much empty except for the opposing team’s fans until deep into this year. Yeah, I kinda get the same feeling

by oriolez on Oct 19, 2008 12:19 AM EDT up reply actions  

The Rays are fuuuuuuuucked

When they had a 7-0 lead in the 7th inning the other night, up 3-1 in the series, that probably would have been a good time to wrap it up. The ride ends tomorrow. And yeah, I was laughing when TBS showed all the depressed Rays fans who didn’t give a fuck about this team til halfway through this season, or later

Buenas noches, senioritas

You have to give them the benefit of the doubt

But it’s hard to believe that any team could build a fanbase in the state of Florida, with a stadium like the Trop, and ten years of losing. I guess I don’t really buy the argument that Rays fans were “protesting” for ten consecutive years.
