MFY/Tigers Series

[Valadius]

Sean Casey's a Jersey boy, too, born in Willingboro.

[Theoldmole]

Hey, tighten it up, guys -- I want to see them shut out.

[Valadius]

Calm down Jeremy, take your time.

[Theoldmole]

And having them get a runner to third with nobody out and then strand him would be especially sweet.

[Theoldmole]

Damn...so close. But I'm still happy.

]You know that if the score holds, retards will be calling up the FAN for the next year pounding A-Rod's performance in the post-season when everyone else in that lineup choked as well. Not to mention their pitchers.

Of course. But when you have a $253M contract, you're expected to be Michael Jordan and have six rings to show for your efforts by the end of it. At the very least, the deal that brought A-Rod to New York was supposed to put the Red Sox in the rear view mirror once and for all, and we know how that worked out. A-Rod had to be a big time difference maker to justify that contract, and it's never happened.

Jeter is still above .500 for the series, so nobody will blame him. And their pitchers just aren't that good, or at least don't warrant any expectations (even the Unit, who is well past his prime). A-Rod will get more blame than he deserves, but he won't get any sympathy from me.

If only Bonderman could have pitched like that ONCE when he was part of my fantasy team!

[Guest Edgy DC]

A lot of talk about theoretical radio-phoning yahoos recently, don'tcha think?

[Valadius]

Two more innings. Six more outs.

Let's go Tiggers!

[Theoldmole]

Listen to that ovation for the kid. I can't believe they cut it so short to go to a commercial.

[Valadius]

Derek Jeter, Professional Choker.

[Guest Edgy DC]

The story here isn't Bonderman winning, but Jeter losing. Amazin'.

Yes. I think this forum would be a better place if we pretended that sportstalk radio didn't exist.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Bring in Vance Wilson!

[Valadius]

Sheffield drops it!!!

[smg58]

Shef really looked like an experienced first baseman on that one.

[Valadius]

HAHAHA!!! Jeter didn't want to chance the throw to first!!!

[Guest ScarletKnight41]

OK - let's finish this up quickly. We have a game in Los Angeles of Los Angeles to watch!

[Valadius]

Damn right!

[Guest Johnny Dickshot]

How embarrassed is Selig going to be when they find out they didn't even bother to print up the obligatory CHAMPION TIGERS hats and shirts?

[smg58]

I suppose if Bonderman's not pitching until game 4 of the ALCS, keeping him in is no big deal, but I'd be careful.

Niceley done by Monroe.

[Valadius]

Craig Monroe with the diving catch!!!

[Guest ScarletKnight41]

Wow! GREAT catch!

Now Bonderman leaves with 2 out, to the roar of the crowd!

[Theoldmole]

Why not let him go for the complete game?

But I'm not complaining.

[Valadius]

99 pitches. Maybe that's why. Although I disagree with it.

[Guest ScarletKnight41]

I think they pulled him so he could get the ovation.

[Valadius]

Sportscasters are not mathematicians. Remember that.

[Valadius]

They're also not linguists.

[smg58]

Last out.

[Valadius]

One. More. Out.
