Wow!
Is NBC really running repeats of its shows instead of competing against the World Series?
Dammit! I want a new episode of Community!

The Cards were as disgusted as we were watching him be intentionally walked yesterday?

Texas better step it up here
The more I think about these clowns lucking their way into a 2nd WS in 5 years, the angrier I get.

haha did Freese just pose a little bit after hitting that medium depth fly ball out?
Giraffes have absurdly strong necks.
Maybe he just listened to the crowd and thought it was gone

Without naming names, do you ever look at certain baseball media people and think, "I could do their job better than they could?"
Because the Buck/McCarver tandem makes me think this every time I have the misfortune of being more or less forced to listen to them.

I think that all the time
I don’t think it about broadcasters, because I know I’d suck at that. But there are plenty of paid writers that I’m like, “Seriously?”
Giraffes have absurdly strong necks.
Yeah, there are some of those I get that feeling with too.
Mostly from ones where I feel like they’d rather just be writing about the Ravens but it isn’t football season.

You know, I thought pretty hard about trying for it for this season.
Ultimately I didn’t, because the description of the job sounded like something I would hate by June or July. Then they ended up having it be something that would have been awesome to be a part of.

i would definitely hate it by june
i like hanging out with my friends.
Kevin Gregg-"You obviously haven't acquired my taste for pitching yet"
There seems like there are fun gags going on pretty much constantly though.
Set pieces and skits with random MLB players? Pretty cool stuff.

i don’t think i could go 6 months without going out to dinner with my friends.

Convince the producers to fly them to NYC and bring a player in NY on an off day and make a TV segment out of it.
Problem solved.

i don't think most girls see the fan cave as a cool place.
it’s probably one notch higher than a D&D convention. plus, aren’t the cameras on you 24/7?
Kevin Gregg-"You obviously haven't acquired my taste for pitching yet"
I think they were "supposed" to be watching/tweeting while any games were going on.
I didn’t get the impression that it was meant as a reality show, on camera all the time thing.

they kind of made it sound like you could check in on them anytime
But I never actually did, so I don’t know if that’s true.
Giraffes have absurdly strong necks.
I only watched the video they did with the intervention for Guts about music.
Other than that I didn’t see them all season until they started doing skits that aired on the postseason pre-game shows or whatever.
So yeah, I guess I don’t know for sure either.

yeah that's the first thing I thought of
my boyfriend actually did apply for it. Made a video and sent it in and everything.
Giraffes have absurdly strong necks.
it'd be like that reality show bit where they always surprise the contestants with a visit by their family
and the tears start flowing. I wanna see Birdman cry.
"Not every pitch is designed to get a hitter out."
No shit, you don’t say.
Robert Andino, let me buy you a beer.
Yeah.
He also said, “slider” before the last three pitches, like he’s calling the goddamn game.
Robert Andino, let me buy you a beer.
I think I turned off the commentary on the ALCS when he said...
something to the effect of “That was too good of a pitch [a pitch which was hit for a single]. Sometimes you want to throw bad pitches, but that was too good of a pitch.”
What the hell does that even mean?
Seriously. My brain hurts now.
Robert Andino, let me buy you a beer.
I mean, what he meant was...
“Sometimes, you can throw a pitch inside the strike zone, because batters will expect it and know they need to swing. Sometimes you need to throw junk outside the zone so batters will chase.” But he worded it in the stupidest possible way.
Holy shit I just...can't even repeat what he just said.
Because I don’t know.
This is unwatchable almost.
Robert Andino, let me buy you a beer.
isn't kinsler a free agent?
i would almost want him but he’s a douche.
Kevin Gregg-"You obviously haven't acquired my taste for pitching yet"
holy shit Garcia
He’s pitching like it’s the World Series or something.
Robert Andino, let me buy you a beer.

I think we all figured that out when Ashton Kutcher
wasn’t hanging around making us change the channel.

Other than the handful of really good infield plays, I'm finding this game incredibly boring.

Wait until all the exciting double switches and commercial breaks from one reliever per batter!

Are the Caps going to be real good again this year?

6-0 to start the year.
Didn’t look great in the first 3, but they’ve looked outstanding in the last two against Florida and Philly.

Hmm
Maybe I’ll give it another shot and try to jump on that bandwagon. I need some fucking joy in my sports life…

If its joy you’re looking for, you might want to stick to the regular season.

To add:
It’s a great sport and in my opinion is the ultimate team sport. Definitely worth giving it a try. Especially since we have a great team here.

So what's the lowest scoring World Series ever?
Or even in the modern era?
Robert Andino, let me buy you a beer.
The 1878 World Series saw 4 runs scored
In 12 games. It ended in a tie, after Old Hoss Radbourn pitched 26 straight innings.
don't let that stop Wash from batting him third though!
I'll develop my own image. I'm an original man. A one and only. I just need some help.
So it might be just me and that SP episode last night, but
does anyone else keep thinking Garcia shit his pants?
Robert Andino, let me buy you a beer.
I still can't believe the Orioles didn't sign him,
stupid Ritterpusch…
If you look at those UZR ratings or whatever
It amuses me to think...
They’re doing “God Bless America” while I’m listening to a Lacrimosa song sung in German.
Is the crowd actually singing along?
Have some self-respect, people! Geez.

in case you are not listening to the cardinals feed,
imagine a thousand stupid budweiser commercials. They are worse than you like are imagining. Much worse.
If you look at those UZR ratings or whatever
Well, FOX is running a Happy Feet 2 trailer
so I’d say it’s a wash.
Robert Andino, let me buy you a beer.
Also the St. Louis tourism theme
There’s more to St. Louis than you think.
Because apparently most people think St. Louis is a shithole?

I really hate the sac bunt with a guy on first,
nothing like wasting an out…

Now the bunt makes sense,
In case Ron Washington is curious
