Youk's beard has gotten bigger.

I wonder if the pen has rules about
throwing the ball when two relievers are warming, kind of like bowling.
But he came back. And there was much rejoicing.
I'M FREAKING OUT

Okay, I have to ask.
Are you using CXZ? Because if you are having problems replying to the last thread in the string, and I’m assuming that’s the problem, you can hit R while the comment is highlighted to reply. That is, if you can’t see the REPLY on the bottom.
But he came back. And there was much rejoicing.
Here, pitch.
Oh by the way, get an out and you win, allow any hit and you don’t.
"I know they're the defending World Champs, but they are the whiniest team in baseball" -Rays announcers
Well, seeing it play out
a matchup of Price-Drew with the bases loaded is an awful lot of pressure for a rookie with barely any experience. I’d have to say Maddon loses the chess match here, though Price has a great arm and could certainly get Drew. I’d sooner have seen Howell face Youkilis and Drew and then bring in Bradford.
I like Cindi. A. She never pretends to know more than she does. B. She has unbridled enthusiasm for her "Hotties," and isn't afraid to show it. -IM4Oakgal
Makes sense
Esp. with the tying run on 1st with Youk up, and on 2nd now.
"And Julio Franco is batting right-handed!" -- Wayne Hagin, A's radio play-by-play, mid-80s
Ya I agree, especially since Howell could have walked Youkilis as well as Bradford did

what do they both have in common? Well, they both start with the letter “r.” But, beyond that… both underdogs going to world championship games this season. ;-)

I don’t know how I would react after something like that. Faint, probably.
But he came back. And there was much rejoicing.
I'm pretty sure I would implode or something.

I wanted to take a moment
to give Boston credit for battling back once again. They wore their crown well this year.
{unable to keep straight face}
I'm here to talk about the past.
Why don't they have a pitchers award for the ALCS
Best pitcher, then MVP for best player. I think the players that played all 7 games deserve some recognition over a pitcher that pitches 2 games. 2 games very well at that, but still how can you overlook Longo and Upton’s performance in the series?
that is a valid point. Hard to overlook the damage they did to Boston pitching
Proud mommy of "mini-kapers"
LDS doesn't even have an MVP. These guys should consider themselves lucky.

True
I guess it’s the same reason I use for why I don’t think a pitcher should be MVP. Let alone a closer.
I'm not watching...
were they asking Garza about his playlist?

You should get fired and apply for unemployment.
That’s what I did.
But he came back. And there was much rejoicing.
Yeah, I know I would win the unemployment claim, too
I handle all the claims at my work – no matter what, pretty much everyone wins.
You have to pretty much set the place on fire to lose
an unemployment claim. I think MO’s laws are different. When I worked with UI, we won quite a few cases.
But he came back. And there was much rejoicing.
I would prefer the Rays though
After all this trouble. You had to preform CPR on me!!! I didn’t stop breathing for the Phillies, so I’m with the Rays on this one. GO RAYS!
