World Series Game Four Spillover Thread III

dammit – arod just missing that hanging slider…

almost had that one

But Mike the rule is the Phillies only need to touch the 3rd base line to score. Home plate is a formality.

Im still waiting for Tex to get a hit w/RISP this postseason.

We should have gotten more runs there. Our numbers 3 and 4 hitter let Blanton off the hook.

Tex, Arod, and Cano are like 3 for 36….frustrating

Well, if Tex or A-Rod had driven in runs the game wouldn’t be close, and it therefore would not induce a heart attack in all of us. So, really, this is just about what we should expect.

2 runs is … acceptable. But we could’ve gotten more. Many more innings for that though, CC is ready to clamp this motha down.

shutdown time

He’s going to do it after the game, Chambliss style.

Am I the only one who thinks Avatar looks stupid?

At least we got 2 runs after they tied it so that’s good. This is all on CC to hold it there now.

I don’t know why they have thrown Howard any fb. He hasn’t come close to a breaking ball. I do think the O will add some more runs.

I know we are winning, but I have not enjoyed this game. Maybe because CC has looked a bit off, maybe because of the zone, maybe because of the whole “the Yankees have a huge advantage in this game” thing.

I’d really like to see some clean innings here from CC.

blanton with the pine tar. wheres halos heaven?

Thanks for the insightful information, Joe.

Lol Cano.

Just ran right past it.

Damn, almost Robbie.

Damnit Robbie. You had that.

Cano doing it with the bat and the glove…

Milt Thompson looks like he could still play.

No Charlie again. lol Hello Milt!

I was blasting my music and somehow I heard an over ecstatic Joe Buck coming to a ground ball hit. Wow…

This is why he has a negative UZR. He’ll get to a lot of balls but can’t make the play on them

We might need those 2 runs right now.

I wonder when Robbie is going to feel like playing in this series.

cc hasnt looked sharp in this series

manuel’s mouthpeices.

c’mon cc.

CC hasn’t looked good at all against the Phillies.

Manuel should take lessons from his hitting coach on not saying dumb ass things. Nice job, Milt.

Cmon CC. You just got back the lead man. Settle down.

not good

cmon CC, keep poundin the corner! get em to chase one outside

don’t put two on for Utley, come on…

Just got back from a birthday dinner.

I’ve missed the entire game.

Sooooo , have we been cheated of a run or 2 yet?

CC pitched well in game 1. He might not have had everything, but I’d take 7 innings and 2 runs any day.

Buck-gasm

Well, this isn’t good. Can I has a GIDP?

Phillies fans treating that walk as if it tied the game.

blood pressure rising.

Time to get the pen up and running.

really not good

everyone always wants to do things the hard way.

Need a DP here for CC. Somehow. Anyway. Please!!!!

Oh boy this is not a situation i wanted to see.

Settle down CC! Get a DP here!

cmon CC, now would be a great time for a ground ball double play

The damn daily news fifth inning.

I seriously have no f’ing clue what you people want.

Throw strikes with your offspeed stuff.

C’mon CC!

love to see porn hair strike out here.

Yeah, I’m thinking getting out of this with no runs scored might be tough.

Strikeout, strikeout, pop up.

I feel the GiDP right here.

Jorge set up in. CC threw away (but got a strike anyway). That’s not good. He needs his command.

Quickly 0-2. Put him away, no screwing around.

Why can’t it ever be easy? -_-

Ok 0-2 no fastball down the middle this time.

Keep going outside. Pleeeeze…

I want a triple play… nothing less.

I know he kills us, but Utley has to be the most likable Phillie, right?

Yep, Charlie “Cousin-Fucker” Manuel couldn’t do it.

He sent one of his coaches to do the interview.

A do-over? That’s calling time. Not a do-over

for what its worth, we’ll score another 4 runs before this game is over.

beautiful.

GREAT PITCH!

Nice. 1 out.

Shew.

Huge out there. DP please.

That’ll do CC. I’d even take 2 more of those.

There we go Carsten.

Papa Bear is still in command right here. He won’t give this one up.

Nice job, Sabathia. Keep it rollin’

wow they got utley out on popup

Two more please.

wow. howard couldn’t hit that if he threw it 15 times

He keeps hanging that slider, and eventually it’s going to go a long way.

Why no triple play?

ANOTHER GREAT PITCH!

Did the ump call infield fly rule on the Utley pop up?

beautiful again.

2 outs. NICE.

Where’s the Howard choke artist articles?

Joe Buck is disappointed by Ryan Howard

Another big out there. One more CC.

One more please!

we need to get a grassroots organization started ASAP to deal with umps, commentators, and probably a bunch of other things right now

C’mon, please no more two out runs.

Oh Carsten, my Carsten!

One more!

One more big man.

be verrry careful here with werth…

thats 2 big man….pleeeease be careful with this fuck

Ugh, shave your soul patch, you sleazebag.

At this point I’m more scared of Werth than Howard.

I gotta commend the Yankee fans chanting their balls off in hostile territory — especially in Philly. Takes some cojones.

Let’s make him Werthless.

/bad jokes ftw

Yes, that was a swing.

I like this 1st base ump. He’s not blind.

That’s what I’m taking about, DeMuth or whoever.

Derek: “CC my man, I got some Minka pie waiting for you if you finish this bitch off.”

Why do they boo for every little thing? Do they boo their kids for not getting A’s? Boo their bosses for work? Boo after bad sex?

love that call by the first base ump

I am surprised they gave it to CC.

Hanging Slider there? Phew!!!

Please do not ever compare Posada with that fucker Tom Brady.

Ive been frustrated with the offense but you cant be critical of CC at all tonight. With some help from his D he would be pitching a shutout right now.

Jesus I would boo too

NICE, that was clutch.

I love CC Sabathia.

That’s right, motherfucker!

YASE

CCya.

CC, you are the man!

Even when CC gets into trouble, and he struggles a bit, I still always have faith that he’ll get out of it. Nice job, CC.

CC is a fucking horse. Beautiful.

Huge CC huge.

YESSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!

Mudafuckas need to have faith.

It’s in the bag.

A.C.E.

YEEESSS

This feels like a smoke and mirrors performance by CC.

YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

FUCK YEAH!!!!! I just wet my pants!

love the houdini act

ZZZZ!!!

That was a beauty. What a changeup.

Get a Haircut, than get some skills werthless.

I think CC can get through 6 now. Then you have Joba, Marte and 4 outs for Mo?

Can someone put some battery acid in McCarver-bitch’s coffee?
(He has cop hair also)

Yeah that timeout was obviously not a pointless endeavor.

Nice to see Posada show some poise and make sure the right pitch was thrown to get out of the 5th.

TIME TO OPEN THIS ONE UP.

One more inning from CC?

I’m tired of Cole Hamels commercials and Chevy Malibu. Seriously, fuck them both.

Wow. Great job by CC to get out of that inning. If he could give the Yanks two more quick innings, the team can turn to the ‘pen to get the job done.

sick strike out right there. these chevy commercials make me want to pull my ears off

“I just sucked one year of your life away.”

Dad wants you to pound the corner. And I thought I had a weird upbringing!

I especially like that Utley, Howard and Werth couldn’t score a run in with 0 outs.

The Japanese broadcast just showed the Philly Phanatic knocking some dude in a boxer outfit out, and was declared the Heavyweight Champion of the World!

Thta pitch was wayyyy low.

Perhaps a bit early for this, but…

how many pitches do you let CC go tonight, max?

Cap the pitches a bit just in case or go nuts?

I think you go for the jugular and let him go 125 if he’s looking good enough, no doubt.

What say you?

Man, that sadistic redhead is hot!

this umping is atrocious

Redeem yourself Jorge by providing a run to make up for that run that shouldn’t have been a run.

Terrible swing Posada.

Jorge needs to shut the fuck up right now. He’s put his 2 cents in. Now he needs to deal with it before he gets Jose Molina in this game.

Cano’s hitting a HR right now

Posada’s had a rough couple of games

If you are Blanton, why not just keep throwing that low and away shit, it keeps getting called a strike regardless

Cano breaks out here.

I think if anyone is due, it has to be Robbie?

How did that homeless chick get such good tickets?

Blanton is the sort of pitcher it looks like Cano should rip.

Nice rip from Robbie there.

Come on Robbie.

Best AB by Cano in a while

Oh well. If nothing a good AB for Cano.

cano, slam it out of here

If that’s not pine tar on Blanton’s hat, he’s spitting chew on it between innings.

fucking babip

He hit that hard, that’s progress.

another Swisher homer here

Love that hustle, Robbie

Man, he smoked that.

Well, at least Robbie hit the ball hard.

Please sit Robbie down after the game, Kevin Long.

man we are so close to that bullpen

i can smell it

So Blanton gets praise for doing what he’s supposed to do. Jeebus.

Getting just one more insurance run would be sweet.

I think FOX is turning up the stadium mic on purpose. I can hear everyone clearly. I think they turned down YSII too.

(Kidding, mostly.)

What’s Cano’s BA now? .050something?

That was a strike?!

That 2-0 pitch to Swisher might be the worst called strike of all time.

I want CC up to bat this inning, so Joe isn’t tempted to PH in the top of the 7th.

I know it was mentioned in the last comments thread, but there’s no doubt in my mind Blanton is cheating. Look how he tweaks the smudge spot with his thumb and index finger after he rubs it.

Swish is back.

Swish back to walking.

Melky’s going deep! The Melk Man will deliver!

Nice job by Swish. Let’s see Melky do something big right hurr!

Cmon Melky slamma-lama-ding-dong!

seems the only low pitches guaranteed for balls have to kick up dirt

Hell yeah, Swish.

Very well done.

I cannot believe this strike zone tonight. Not because its huge (because it is), but because it is so inconsistent.

Come on, Melky. Time to earn immunity from RAB bashing you for the winter.

Melky’s got this shit.

tweet from badbanana: why is everyone on that baseball team wearing a Jay-Z hat?

This isn’t being negative, but Melky getting out could make the decision to go to the bullpen after 6 innings from CC a lot easier….

Making him work this inning if nothing else.

Melky holding the hammy.

Nice D there from Howard/Blanton, although maybe they should have been a little more careful.

oh shit…did Melky pull up lame?

Ummmm…was Melky grabbing his hamstring at the end of that play?

Was Melky reaching for his hamstring there?

Was Melkey holding his hamstring?

Big 3 outs for CC right here. Only 9 innings to Mo.

Hammy? Damn.. not good… Buck missed it

Someone screencap that last shot of Blanton.

There was something strange on it.
