Oh yeah, F off forever Poopi.

Now that's funny lol bumgarner

Go Cubs! So far, my prediction is looking good. I was laughing so hard at that commercial where he spills all that food on the Red Sox fan!

[Blarg]

How the Sox ended up losing that is almost mind boggling. Allen had no control over any pitch and yet still got enough outs to close the game. I thought for sure he was going to be yanked before he threw something to the backstop. Pedroia even swung at a pitch over his head to keep from getting walked and Allen followed that pitch with a worse one.

Allen falling behind to every hitter. Come on already

I was watching this unfold for the last two innings, thinking, Francona's going to leave this guy in until he blows the game. It nearly happened.

Jake Arrieta hit a three-run homer off Madison Bumgarner. What are the odds?

[CaliAngel]

What the hell is going on? This is AWESOME! Rangers out, BoSux out, and hopefully los Doyers soon. 

Can you believe Francona and Napoli swept their former team? The BoSux of all teams?? Sorry Ortiz, well, not really. And they did it in Fenway! Remarkable. 

Watching the Cubs game now...San Fran already looks defeated. 

[CaliAngel]

I hate when they use the camera view behind the plate, behind the backstop. It's one thing when you're at the game behind the back stop, you can see the ball well, but when you're watching it on camera you can't see sh*t because the ball hides behind the umpire, catcher, and batter, and the depth perception sucks. And when they hit the ball you can't tell where it's going or how far. So dumb. 

And these commentators are vomit-inducing "He is a SPECIAL ballplayer" wtf? That's the best you got?

[beatlesrule]

Why can't Major League Baseball get instant replay right? His foot was clearly off the bag.

[CaliAngel]

^East Coast Bias. But seriously, I think it came down to "definitive evidence" to overturn the call. But from the angles I saw, his foot was off the bag. I would like to know who's in that booth making these decisions. Because they clearly miss angles that we all see. 

By the way, when does it get to the point where ballplayers are allowed to wear their hats backwards? This Strop dipshit puts crooked hat to shame. I can't believe an organization would let him represent their team that way. 

Giants bats have 6 outs to make something happen.

Also, the Lemonade/Ice-T commercials are friggin hilarious to me for some reason. 

[Blarg]

The Cubs are mid West. 

You should turn off the TV so you are not so irritated by everything. 

[beatlesrule]

Chapman coming in for a 6 out save.

[Biergott]

That didn't work as planned

[mulwin444]

Gilaspie again...holy Shit 

[Biergott]

Dammit Effler!  (Did I do that right?)

[beatlesrule]

It's amazing how he was no big deal with the Angels.

[CaliAngel]

WOW!

[Biergott]

Didn't he start off hot for us then just fade away?

[beatlesrule]

I didn't think that could happen. Man, these playoffs are awesome!

[CaliAngel]

Giants have an uphill battle but they are getting hot. 

[fan_since79]

What a turnaround!

 

[CaliAngel]

Cubs have to sweep this one under the rug. Come out tomorrow and take care of business, cause this one is just getting uglier and uglier. 

[Biergott]

Going to Chapman with 6 outs is going to be questioned quite a bit if they lose

Smoltz made a good point but I'd add that maybe Maddon was going to use a different rp for the 9th. I'm a firm believer that you bring your best pitcher in the game when the situation calls for it and it certainly did there. Chapman just blew it.

How many times has Chapman even had a six-out save?

I'm too tired to look it up. Long day.

 

Whatever it is, the streak just got longer

[Docwaukee]

the Giants need to change their mascot to a horseshoe.    they seem to feed off of other team's desperation.
