Shame on you.
One day, this team is going to kill me.
The Rangers can use some help from the BABIP Goddess

WHERE WAS LAST NIGHT'S OPEN THREAD
president and sole member of the "jesse orosco will eat your children" club.
Who is the most reprehensible scoundrel currently on your tv?
LaRussa, Buck, or McCarver?
I think my vote is for Buck, but it’s close.
i think you answered your own question correctly

In the Cheetos commercial, Deion says his uniform is dry clean only
What kind of football uniform is dry clean only? That’s really dumb.
Can anyone explain Berkman's beard to me?

Well,
and there you have it.
This one run might be huge.

Man on second
can they do this?
I lobby for a Rangers walk off win here.
by MetsFan4Decades on Oct 20, 2011 10:44 PM EDT reply actions
Yes, I know.
I really did mean a couple of runs here and then hold the Cards down in the bottom of the inning.

Unless they hit the ball so hard it moves the stadium to Texas
That’s gonna be hard to pull off.
It’ll be more painful for the Cards fans to drag it out anyway.

You just know he
wanted to run on home. Playing it safe was the right move though.

Can Brian Wilson just fall in a volcano or something?
There is no hope.... there is no future....there is only GRISSIONZ
The 2011 Mets- Rock bottom: We haven't reached it yet
Ah, La Russa
at his finest. He’ll use 42 pitchers here to get out of the inning.
Arther Rhodes. For whatever reason, no matter what team he wound up on, whose BP he was in these past few years, the Mets could never seem to hit him. Everyone else had no such problem….

..and the media tards will continue to say
derp hez leet like Joe TORIE!

Good call, Tony!

Feliz just walked Molina and you bunt? Punto is not a GIDP candidate...
Is LaRussa watching the game or is he too busy fantasizing about overmanaging?
Oh pissing blimey there's jam coming out of the walls!
I'm telling you
it’s that ghost manager’s book they all have that we can’t get a hold of. They all love that bunt.

Fortunately, this series is very much win-win for me...
If the Cards lose, the Cards lose. If Texas loses, they lose two consecutive World Series.
Oh pissing blimey there's jam coming out of the walls!
I dont know why we would hate on Texas
They knocked out the Skanks last season
Insert witty signature here
Eh...
And while I like certain Rangers (Cruz, Napoli, Beltre), they have their fair share of douchebags (Hamilton, Wilson).
Also, Washington is an even worse manager than LaRussa.
Oh pissing blimey there's jam coming out of the walls!
How is Hamilton a douchebag?
There is no hope.... there is no future....there is only GRISSIONZ
The 2011 Mets- Rock bottom: We haven't reached it yet
I'm not sure Hamilton will really play into this WS.
He’s obviously hurt. His swing looks awful – all just arm strength. He must have dug down really deep to come up with that sac fly.

Yea, Rangers!
Good for you Feliz.
and I didn’t realize he was only 23.
