ALCS Game 7: Tribe (Westbrook) at Sawx (Dice-K)

[jlau20]

Anyone else looking forward to this game? I'll be putting off studying for my Finance test that's tomorrow to watch it.

 

I think I'd be looking forward to it a bit more if the Tribe had shown any signs of life the last two games. For whatever reason, this doesn't even feel like it's going to be a good game. Of course, if the Tribe can bounce back from the two consecutive beatdowns they've endured, it will atleast make for an interesting game. Too bad neither C.C. nor Fausto could pull out one good start between them to finish this up sooner, but oh well.

Go Tribe.

Eric Karros demands a lead-off HR from Sizemore.

[TooLiveBrew]

Eric Karros must be disappointed in Sizemore. He didn't "change the momentum" like Karros demanded.

[TooLiveBrew]

One thing I have to admit about McCarver (oh, how I loathe him) is that his grammar is usually really good. He actually cares about one of my biggest pet peeves from announcers/broadcasters - ending a sentence with a preposition.

[hawing]

Even the radio team seems pretty excited about the Bosox. (No offense to AmyintheSouth, but I'd rather see Cleveland advance, if only to see how the media adapts to no "big name" teams in the WS.)

 

One of my employees is distantly related to Jake Westbrook, so that bad hop leading to the first run is making me wince extra.

[TooLiveBrew]

example of said pet peeve, conveniently provided by Joe Suck: "That's 19 double plays that the Red Sox have grounded into."

The English language needs counseling. No other way to cope with all the abuse it takes.

Heh. None taken!

I am so nervous, I can't even sit still. These double plays are brutal. How in the world do you double off Ellsbury and Lugo???

Would you rather:

 

Watch a game entirely narrated by Scooter, the talking baseball.

- or -

Watch a game with Tim McCarver (and Joe Buck) providing commentary.

Man, the Indians are lucky it's only 3-1. The Sox have had loads of runners, but keep hitting into DPs.

[wisconsinfan47]

I absolutely cannot stand the Red Sox and most of their "long-suffering" fans...

 

Kenny Lofton was safe by a mile...total garbage...and now with 2 on, 1 out...that bad call is even bigger.

[adamb100]

Go Tribe!

[jlau20]

Oh man.

 

If they don't tie it up now, that third base coach is going to have a rough go of it for awhile.

 

That's Manny Ramirez in left field, odds are even if he gets that throw to home on time, it's not going to be on target.

[Vgmastr]

If the Indians end up losing, that third base coach might have just cost himself his job with that call. What was he thinking?

[adamb100]

RIP Cleveland Indians WS hopes.

[hawing]

most of their "long-suffering" fans...

Now, see, I was more or less on board with the 'long suffering' in 2004, and was thusly pleased by the Red Sox victory that year (and not only because it came over STL).

 

But I'd have to have an issue with anyone who called the Red Sox fans long-suffering now. C'mon, they've already won this century.

[adamb100]

2-11, damn East coast teams. I hope the Rockies sweep the Sox.

I honestly don't know, which tells you how bad the humans in question are.

[adamb100]

I agree Time McCarver is not a good commentator but Joe Buck is pretty good.

[jlau20]

Just wow.

 

I would have liked the Tribe to go to the WS, but I can't complain about either the Red Sox or Rockies.

 

I'd prefer if the Rockies won, to keep the whole new World Series champ every year thing going, but won't complain if the Sox win it.

 

It should be interesting to see if the Red Sox can put a stop to Rocktober, it's kind of looking like they will if they keep this up.

The Rox-Sox series!

I completely agree. That's how I was back in '04...Nowadays? they've won their World Series, have a huge payroll, and thus will be competitive for a long long time. I think most fan bases would be more than happy to be in that situation. So why all the melodrama? Oh well, go Rox...

 

[TooLiveBrew]

Joe Buck is pretty good.

*soul has a seizure*

[iluvlamp]

I have vomited in my mouth a little. Damn you CC and Fausto Ca..Ca..Ca, Can't pitch here anymore. Lame Office Space ref yeah.

[iluvlamp]

YAY! I can't wait to see the MLB Pants-off Dance-off!
