I once saw a game where Mike Moore pitched against Charlie Hough and
it seemed like time froze the game was so slow. They would both just stand there forever thinking about their next pitch and of course Hough would always throw the same pitch. That’s 4 hours of my life I can never get back.
The only A who could ever hit Hough was Hendu

it was Cal Ripken’s last game at the Coliseum so it was a special game. They had the jets fly over which was cool.

oh my gosh.
I just saw the replay of Holliday’s error. !!! (I’m sure you all have great reactions in the other game thread, which I shall go explore momentarily.) But… WOW. It makes me laugh, but I also feel bad for him. I would have preferred him to just be normal in the playoffs — not do anything great, not do anything awful. …That didn’t turn out so well.
You're way nicer than I am.

It was the post-error flop that sealed the hilarity factor for me.

You are lucky. I live with a Yankee/slegnA fan. I get it double in the playoffs.
I feel sick after hearing the slegnA win. I just know these fukkkkkers are probably destined to win it all but they must be stopped.
I was wondering where you were through this
Clearly we don’t hate the slegnA enough. This blows.

No worries, it'll be the Twins and Rockies in the WS
those with “nothing to lose” play looser. That’s why WC teams show up so often.
MLB playoffs suck, philosophically speaking. I watch with interest, but IMO it’s a hockey format and is bad for baseball championships.
