Yeah, spread that butter… with the force.
/ObiWan’d
Go Yanks!
RAB ftw!
Yanks beat Angels, Yanks will proceed to sweep Philly.
been there done that
let’s pad those stats al
A-rod seals his ALCS MVP right here with this at bat!!!
Do Angels want to revisit Kazmir trade disaster?
As I recall, Mike A did a piece on the deal
It might be worth the shot if you can fix Kazmir – lefties throwing 95 are nice
Putting Kazmir into that spot wasn’t the smartest move – but what do I know?
Fixing him likely means elbow surgery, where they’ll lose him for close to a year.
It’s been a long time coming
WE.
WILL.
NOT.
BE.
STOPPED.
I BELIEVE
We. Will. Not. Lose.
Time for an A-bomb
Plastic is up in clubhouse….ready for celebration
In a related story, the plastic is up in my bedroom.
EW! lol
I’m only at coffee table stages. how do i get over teh hump?
Isn’t it always? And in the bathroom too?
It is.
And, I’m sorry about the other night, darling. Please send me the bill and I’ll cover the dry cleaning.
DISTURBING IMAGE
Put this one to bed, Al.
Hey guys, I just won 3 games of Spider Solitare in a row.
I just saved a bunch of money by switching to Geico.
+1
I just ruined my marriage and my career by sexing up a disgusting hosebeast.
Sincerely,
Steve Phillips
but we did it at Holiday Inn Express.
I’m closin the studio.
Uh-Oh Angels
Good things deities don’t get rusty after long innings.
Its going to happen. Fuck yes. The Angels already look like they’ve given up.
feelin good right now.
You take one run from God..Mo will take 2 back from u
Weaver looks creepy with short hair. Kinda looks like a baby bird that hasn’t fully grown feathers yet. Gross.
Hahahaha, what the fuck.
He’s molting, give him a break.
Do your thing, big guy
anyone else worried that the long rest on the bench could cause problems for mo coming out in the ninth?
I think he throws if it’s too long.
nope lol
You lost me at “worried”.
ietc
anyone else
worried that the long rest on the bench could cause problems for mo coming out in the ninth?looking for things to worry aboutftfy.
Mo will just pretend in 9th that it is a new game..
Weaver is so clutch.
comment of the night lol
Never doubt The Manager Of The Year!
coughcoughnapolimathissaunderskazmirervinizturiscoughcough
Let’s go A-rod!
Would love another monster hit by A-rod. not to be greedy, but to save my heart.
hearts are all saved
What the hell is the matter with your heart? We’ve got a 5-2 lead with Mariano Rivera in a series clincher. This shit has been in the bag for an eternity already.
Alex hits one out, you pull Mo?
Yup.
are you totally insane we are talking world series here not a night in June
Batshit insane. Could be a 15 run lead and he finishes
The rest of the BP is capable of 3 outs, against the bottom of their order.
I was asking a question. I didn’t weigh in one way or the other. Read, folks.
If it was me, I don’t pull Mo. World Series doesn’t start until Wednesday, so there’s no issue of rest/availability. I want him on the mound when we clinch, he deserves to be there more than anyone.
Only way he’s not out there is if he asks out, due to fatigue or whatever.
I leave Mo in to close this puppy no matter the score.
No, even if jorge hits this one out. Uve got two days til the series. End this.
I’d at least consider it. I don’t think Girardi does unless this half-inning goes 45 minutes plus.
Just as I open this post, a sidebar ad about God being our hero shows up.
Too true.
Where’s the Bandbox at? Nice job Tex anyway.
Weaver? A-Rod vs. Weaver = >1.100 SLG
Cmon A-rod.
trying to ice mo
unintential intential walk much?
unintenialy funny
Let’s make this shit Veras proof.
They’re all scared of A-Rod.
can’t wait til he lights up Lee Game 1
I’m looking forward to Lee being reintroduced to AL offense.
ditto that…my philly buds think he’s a god
Scioscia is having a worse series than girardi. How does he wait til now for weaver
Instinct and experience told him.
Girardi has had a good series. It’s easy for Scoscia to have a worse series than Girardi.
I hope Mo is keeping warm.
no doubt about it that they pitched around a-rod
Here’s another weird thing
Don’t you let Kazmir walk ARod intentionally and THEN bring in Weaver?
2 runs on 0 hits = awesome.
Right about now is when Michael Kay says “That’s about as intentional an unintentional walk as you can get.”
i miss Michael Kay
I’m not there yet but soon.
Alex hits one here when it doe not count but then we vote which RAB author gets to pitch the 9th…..
OK Jorge hits one then we vote on an RAB author to pitch the 9th
Erase that 0-4, Jorge.
I think the wind is a little funky tonight…keeping shit in the park.
I’m watching the game in Osaka, Japan. I can’t really understand what the Japanese announcers are saying, but they were laughing uproariously during the last pitching change at the Angels defensive buffoonery.
I’d rather have them. It must be bliss.
Seconded.
They were laughing at the many fundamental failures the Angels have committed in the past 5 hours.
You are also watching in Japan?
Heh. What is the Japenese version of Yakety Sax, anyway?
Unintentional Intentional BB. Alex’s postseason OBP going through roof.
C’mon Jorgie
A hit here and urine the World Series for sure
Thank you Shecky.
‘Sado, we can forgive you for your poor hitting this game, but a knock here would we nice.
nice move arod
Here’s where Jorgie makes amends.
Jorgie is…IDK.
Ugh.
A-Rod give the universal gesture for “mama huevo” to Melky at third.
Poor Posada, about to strand 10 runners on the night.
Poor Angels.
It is embarrassing to watch Jorge swing at breaking balls.
Good idea to walk A-Rod…he OWNs Weaver.
Cmon JoPo.
jesus jorge looks lost
Ashy Robbie
Get that man some lotion.
jesus robbie’s elbow looks like an old dogs
Cano’s got some crusty elbows
Can’t hit into a DP here, Jorge.
I was really hoping for one hittable pitch to A-Rod
At least he can’t hit into a DP with 2 outs.
Robbie is super bored
Why would anyone throw a rod a strike with these guys behind him?
Why does Posada look like he would rather be somewhere else?
Have you seen his wife?
he doesn’t
Thoroughly enjoyed that camera angle focusing on Cano’s ashy elbows. Good job fox.
He needs to drink more water.
boom go Po?
nope
69!
The shot of ARod giving Melky the “That’s right my boy, that’s you do it” nod and look was fantastic.
big night for Jorge
alright, let’s punch this ticket
No way Jorge hits behind A-Rod again.
Yeah, because Matsui has really impressed lately.
I’m for having Cano hit in the 5 spot.
wow shit game for jorgie…
10 men loeft on base ><
Pretty much a shit game in general. The score is more than enough to appease, but this hasn’t exactly been a clinic of crisp baseball.
Jorge = frozen. Good pitch sequence by Weaver.
LET’S FUCKING GO MO. BRING IT HOME, BABY!
Keeps it a 3 run game. What a gamer.
3 runs against Mo is infinity. Nice try Buck, but it’s over.
10 is such a nice round number.
Bad night JoPo but that doesn’t matter one bit.
Three outs to the pennant. Not worried at all.
meh. that was a good pitch. jorge needs a nice relaxing hot tub and then a nap. and the comfort of the lovely laura posada.
Enter Sandman one more time!
Three outs away fellas!!!
I still don’t understand what this ad has to do with jeans.
Awwwwwwwww man just 3 outs…..3 FUCKIN OUTS.
I love ya Jorgie. But you gotta protect the plate there. I still love ya, though. Most of us still do. Ignore the ruffians.
OK Mo. This is our shit. We have this. Get 3 outs and party like a rockstar. Win that man A-rod his first (should be 2nd) postseason MVP award!
3 outs, its been a while…
Posada has been bad offensively. All will be forgiven thou if he gets Rivera to get 3 outs.
Come on Mo. No flares. No Tony Womack doubles. No bad throws. No NOTHING but net.
Is it time to mute Buck and go with Sterling?
Just mute it.
I would hit the button before he could finish the sentence.
Posada has been downright Molinarian tonight.
Yankees up in this motherfucker.
anyone hear the vigor with which buck just declared how well jeff weaver pitched in relief again tonight? anyone else laugh
this one goes out to Tori Hunter and of course Halos Heaven
Our closer, who art of heaven
Hallowed be thy name
Thy kingdom come, thy dynasty won
In New York instead of Anaheim
Give us this day our daily win
Forgive us our doubts, for there are no doubts You > those against us
Lead us not into the 10th
Cutter delivers us from evil.
Amen.
Amen.
Amen, Brother.
Mosanna, Mosanna, Mosanna in the highest.
Posada almost Big Papi-esque with the LOB tonight. Almost.
“Papi juiced one” has a different meaning
2
ONE
ONE.
2 more!!
time to drop the hammer of god!
ok isn’t melky-gardy-swisha the yanks best defensive outfield? why keep damon in there
/nitpicking’d
don’t worry..there is no ball going out to OF..
Swisher was lifted for Gardner as a pinch-runner. That makes it hard to be Damon’s defensive replacement and have Swisher stay in the game.
2 more baby..2 more
And that’s the out that makes me feel so much better.
Just you I guess.
Wow reply fail. My bad.
anybody just walk around the room with one finger up
Dos mas, Mariano.
It’s gonna take more than 1 of my customary nyquil/roofie coladas to fall asleep after this one.
the postgame show will go on all night. sheesh.
How i wish Torii Hunter could make the last out …
Mo. Is. On.
no joe, the angels do not quit, they LOSE TO THE 2009 YANKEE JUGGERNAUTS
Two more Mo!
anyone else looking forward to the Torii Hunter postgame interview??
he says pressure is on Yankees..to beat Phillies.
Yes.
I want to see some ugly behavior by the Angels
I hope Aroldis Chapman is enjoying the game. Just sayin’
I like the way you think
+1, good game to watch and be a part of.
Kind of game that makes you want to … play for that team and get paid an 8 digit number.
Two down!
Any Angel fans take note of the noise level in the Boogie Down sans Thundersticks.
Woah I didn’t know he was there. He got free tickets or something by the Yanks?
Yes sir, reported to be a special guest of the Yankees from what I read somewhere.
Screw the free tickets, he’s probably up in the Audi Club or something. Or the Steins box itself.
Taking dumps in Cashman’s private bathroom.
Hey Torii Hunter. Don’t worry. The Yankees aren’t beating you. You’re just choking.
I want to be a part of it
If I can make it there
Rivera < Rivera
watching the game and reading these comments sure beats listening to the Fox fools
McCarver, I hate you.
2
Buck and McCarver sound like their dog just died.
this world series is for you Tori and your boys at Halos Heaven GFYS
1 more!!!!
TWO
LOUD NOISES!!! LOUD NOISES!!!
1 away!
TWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Un mas, Mariano.
ONE AWAY
i loved that guy in crowed who pulled out the cigar..
This is it!!! One more!
Kate looking lovely.
Place looks like it’s very, very loud
one more, one more
PARTY IN THE BOOGIE DOWN!!!!!!!!!!!!
GMJ for Napoli? With the pennant on the line?
Batshit insane.
Time for Matthews to earn that 50M contract with a bases-empty grand slam.
especially when u consider Mos success versus lefties
Gary Matthews? Are you shitting me?
Gary Matthews: One final present from Scoscia!
Really, Gary Matthews?
Kate Hudson is pumped.
No, that’s later
Champagne tastes sweeter with a a dash of Torii Hunter’s tears
Strike this fucker out.
all in all, i’d say that saunders’ unhittable demeanour, weaver’s clutch performance, and the magical managing of mike scoscia really did the fantastic job the angels did this evening. they should be commended
/Joe Buck’s closing thoughts’d
Down to you last out and yo pinch hit Gary Matthew Jr.?
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAH
Thats called resignation
We gotta recoup some of this investment.
Sincerely,
Arte Moreno
Mike Scioscia sees everything.
“Manager of the Year”
Versus
Team of the Year.
No contest.
Called strike three coming.
Swinging will do nicely.
Yes WE ARE THE MFY 2009!!!
Nice play by the right field ballboy
I love Halos Heaven
I’m warbling all over this motherfucker.
it’s like they are striking out joe buck and tim mccarver at the same time, this is great!

Aroldis Chapman is probably harder than a diamond in an icestorm right now.
Awesome, awesome move exposing him to this tonight.
MO LED US BACK TO THE PROMISED LAND!
YANKEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEESSS
THAT’S WHY THEY SELL THE HATS A DAY EARLY.
YEAH! Show Tino, Mo ends the game. Next we get Paul O to announce instead of McCarver
By the way, I totally called Yanks/Phils back in April.
Mr. Alexander Emmanuel Rodriguez….welcome to your first World Series!
Bring on the Phillies
Awesome
lol @ girardi picking posada up by his protector
YO Torii, time for you and your boys to walk it out. Get outta here!
Yup, he was right in their team shocking the world…with their mistakes throughout the series!!!
MO = UNHITTABLE DEMEANOR
GO YANKS IN 4!!!!!
Thank you Angels for being a good opponent. Now onto the Phillies.
On a Mariano Rivera swinging strike.
I’m all emotional over here.
/STARTS HUG-HAULING PEOPLE UP A LA GIRARDI
Number 40!
Who’s broadcasting the World Series?
Tim & Joe & Fox
the philly cheerleaders
The Phillies are toast.
Back in the World Series, baby!
As painful as Thursday night’s loss was, it was worth it to win the AL Championship at home, to welcome in the new Yankee Stadium!
damaso and Xavier chilling on the outskirts, hehe
Step 2 out of 3 complete.
Time to bring that trophy back where it belongs.
This. Shit. Is. On.
Aroldis Chapman wants to be part of this shit, man.
The warble never sounded so good.
Japanese TV is now showing Matsui as he hugs each of his teammates. GO YANKEES!!!!!!!
Now they’re interviewing him. I wish I could understand Japanese right now!
Yeah I know. Been dying to learn it for some time.
i just learned that jorge can in fact smile
Love the looks of Jeter, A-rod and Tex.
+1
the embrace by the infielders was AWESOME!
Rosental is a midget. He must be shorter than Pedroia!
HAHAHAHAHAHA
DJ just nailed Rosenthal on his negativity.
Shades of Jim Grey….loved that!
I LOVED that.
I’m not a Rosenthal fan at all.
The Yanks are 3 for 3 in World Series appearances in years that they open a new (or renovated) stadium.
I love it.
Shit like that is just meant to be.
Derek Jeter: Hates the naysayers!
“Great that you bring up a negative…midget”
Someone get the pic of the Yanks infield hugging. It’s one of the best infields ever.
Ken rosenthal is a bitch. Even Jetes called him out.
WE WILL NOT BE STOPPED
WE WILL NOT BE DENIED
THE BIG WHITE MACHINE IS BACK!
The Big Pin Striped Machine!
lol wut
that makes no sense
This is pretty cool – Gammons just congratulated Mo
No postgame on YES?
After the Fox post game.
I think they usually wait until a commercial (or some other logical) break in the regularly scheduled programming.
Derek to Rosenthal: you are a sucky interviewer you negative midget bastard.
Yeah, I was thinking this-
Derek-”Well, since you want to bring up the negative, you’re short and smarmy looking, douchebag.”
What a great season! Let’s finish it off against The Phillies!
Rosenthal: Derek, you guys have not been to the World Series since 2003; you have not won since 2000–
Jeter: Oh, that’s great that you bring up a negative.
Jeter’s internal monologue: You know what? Fuck you, you little piece of shit midget hack cock-knocker. You wish you could be me, bitch. My failures are ten times greater than your successes. Eat a dick, you no-juice-having douchebag.
WE ARE GOING TO THE WORLD SERIES BITCHES!!
FUCK YEAH!!!
