Really, unless you’re eager for Fox to show 387 different shots of fans wearing costumes, you’re rooting for the Red Sox.
World Series Game 6 live chat: Cardinals vs. Red Sox

Salyn [11:55 PM]:
@GBSimons I took it to mean in the regular season.
Rob Neyer [11:51 PM]:
Thanks, John! We’ll be back next October, bigger and better. Really appreciate you hanging around with us this week.
GBSimons [11:47 PM]:
@ J.R. Wolf – what bad teams did they beat?
John Autin [11:40 PM]:
Rob, Grant — Thanks for staging these chats. I really like your website.
4-6-3 [11:34 PM]:
@Grant Brisbee Classy.

Grant Brisbee [11:27 PM]:
G’night everyone!
Catmatt14 [11:27 PM]:
Here comes the dumb question fest.
Dodgerfan65 [11:26 PM]:
Congrats to the Boston Redsox, the 2013 World Champions.
Rob Neyer [11:26 PM]:
I like Ken Rosenthal. Still had to turn off the set.
J.R. Wolf [11:25 PM]:
See you for Spring Training
Charlie Gebow [11:25 PM]:
Congrats to the Red Sox. Hats off to the Cardinals for sparing me from having emotional investment in the World Series by crushing Kershaw.
Grant Brisbee [11:25 PM]:
HOLY SHIT LOOK AT WHAT’S WRITTEN IN THE STARS 
J.R. Wolf [11:24 PM]:
Thank you Sox for crushing the Cards and their sanctimonious fans!
Grant Brisbee [11:24 PM]:
Congrats, Red Sox. It was a lot funnier when we could all laugh at you, but you probably didn’t think so.
4-6-3 [11:24 PM]:
Well, Mssrs. Brisbee and Neyer, the end of another season. Thanks for the coverage all season. Can’t wait for Spring Training
J.R. Wolf [11:24 PM]:
And some bad ones
Rob Neyer [11:24 PM]:
The Red Sox didn’t need another championship. But they deserved this one, and I’m happy to think about Bill James getting another ring.
John Autin [11:23 PM]:
Congratulations, 2013 World Series champion Boston Red Sox! You beat some good teams.
Gerald Gillespie [11:23 PM]:
oh shit, i left my car on the street!
J.R. Wolf [11:23 PM]:
HURRAY FOR THE SOX!
Charlie Gebow [11:23 PM]:
That is that
4-6-3 [11:23 PM]:
I wish it hadn’t come to this.
Charlie Gebow [11:22 PM]:
@J.R. Wolf OH YEAH ARGUING SEMANTICS THAT GETS MY MOTOR RUNNING
John Autin [11:22 PM]:
@J.R. Wolf Oh — it’s a fluke when umps properly enforce the rules.
CHillerTomatoes [11:22 PM]:
@robneyer Sure he felt like he was on the roster. At least when he was stuck on the plane in St. Louis.
J.R. Wolf [11:22 PM]:
No, I mean the fluke obstruction call
John Autin [11:21 PM]:
@J.R. Wolf You mean the wild throw by Saltalamacchia that scored the winning run?
Charlie Gebow [11:21 PM]:
IT’S THE FINAL OUTDOWN Dododododododododo
J.R. Wolf [11:20 PM]:
That obstruction call
Gerald Gillespie [11:18 PM]:
@jrwolf what part was the fluke exactly?
J.R. Wolf [11:18 PM]:
What thoughts, Grant?
Rob Neyer [11:18 PM]:
The line on Shelby Miller: one false alarm, zero pitches, zero innings, zero sense he was on the roster.

The Rundown gif set to music: http://zeega.com/158214
Grant Brisbee [11:17 PM]:
I still have thoughts about the obstruction call, everyone.
J.R. Wolf [11:16 PM]:
@clefo Given that one game was lost on a fluke, this is a 4-1 WS
Scarecrow13 [11:15 PM]:
Actually, I think the Cardinals are conspiring to get Ortiz the On-base WS record
Gerald Gillespie [11:13 PM]:
so that’s the secret. you just have to get the hits when you need them.
Grant Brisbee [11:13 PM]:
Imagine if everyone treated really good hitters like the Cardinals have treated Ortiz tonight. Five-hour games!
Charlie Gebow [11:11 PM]:
BUT TODAY IS NOT THAT DAY
Charlie Gebow [11:11 PM]:
One day, someone will pitch to Ortiz with a base open
Grant Brisbee [11:10 PM]:
@CHillerTomatoes Sure that’ll happen.
CHillerTomatoes [11:09 PM]:
So Boston PD only wants fans in the bars and the ballpark to celebrate? Maybe that is why Matheny won’t be available.
Rob Neyer [11:06 PM]:
Ah, Erin Andrews with the hard-hitting t-shirt question. Journalism. Fox.
CHillerTomatoes [11:03 PM]:
Combine the “This is my guy” with Xander’s creeping and it is a heart warming story of teammates.
Salyn [11:02 PM]:
@Grant Brisbee GIFbombed.
Charlie Gebow [11:00 PM]:
This feels like the most one-sided World Series that ever went 6 games
Grant Brisbee [10:57 PM]:
Xander’s kind of a creeper in that GIF
Gerald Gillespie [10:55 PM]:
Stinking Matai!
Gerald Gillespie [10:54 PM]:
thermopylae!
Charlie Gebow [10:53 PM]:
@Grant Brisbee This is sky pie

God Bless Dominican…not even for just one night!
Gerald Gillespie [10:43 PM]:
that’s what i meant…give me a high five
Charlie Gebow [10:43 PM]:
A win for results based thinking!
KeithKinMA [10:40 PM]:
Grant Brisbee [10:39 PM]:
Be awesome if Farrell went out, looked him in the eyes, and said, “Liar” before looking away.
Charlie Gebow [10:38 PM]:
So, that was your guy, John. How do you feel now?
Gerald Gillespie [10:38 PM]:
how is that possible? That was his guy?
John Autin [10:36 PM]:
@Grant Brisbee That’s without checking those way-back Series that had a tie in an early game, so “Game 6” wasn’t really Game 6.
Grant Brisbee [10:36 PM]:
Yeah, this isn’t going to backfire. Nope, nope, nope.
CHillerTomatoes [10:35 PM]:
@KeithKinMA Exactly what I thought.
Gerald Gillespie [10:35 PM]:
no way this goes wrong for Farrell
John Autin [10:35 PM]:
@Grant Brisbee Eleven road teams won Game 6 to level the Series — but none trailed more than a run in Game 6. (I think.)
KeithKinMA [10:35 PM]:
Grady leaves Lackey in
John Autin [10:34 PM]:
@Grant Brisbee My unscientific check shows zero.
Grant Brisbee [10:34 PM]:
@John Autin Three?
KeithKinMA [10:34 PM]:
that’s not what i want at all – trick or treat Grant!
KeithKinMA [10:33 PM]:
no – wait
Charlie Gebow [10:33 PM]:
Operation Inconvenience Brisbee commence
KeithKinMA [10:33 PM]:
same here – awesome is in the eye of the beholder
GBSimons [10:33 PM]:
@John Autin – Never tell me the odds!
GBSimons [10:33 PM]:
I’m rooting for Grant missing trick-or-treating.
John Autin [10:32 PM]:
Who can guess how many road teams down 3-2 in the Series have overcome more than a one-run deficit to win Game 6?
Grant Brisbee [10:32 PM]:
Because that would be awesome baseball.
Grant Brisbee [10:31 PM]:
If the Cardinals come back to win this, I’ll have to write for hours more tonight, and I won’t get to go trick-or-treating tomorrow. But danged if I’m not rooting for it.
Grant Brisbee [10:26 PM]:
@John Autin Rangers fans say no.
John Autin [10:21 PM]:
@Grant Brisbee Can’t a team die in peace?!?
Grant Brisbee [10:20 PM]:

Charlie Gebow [10:20 PM]:
So, pitching to Ortiz can yield good things. Who knew?
Dodgerfan65 [10:19 PM]:
Oh wait I get to see Papi strike out.
Dodgerfan65 [10:18 PM]:
Hey guys thanks for letting me join in. I know it is not over but I’m old and need my rest. I may check back later since I usually get up after about 30 minutes to pee. Can’t wait for next season.
GBSimons [10:17 PM]:
Wow, they’re pitching to Big Papi!
Grant Brisbee [10:17 PM]:
Shane Victorino almost has as many RBI tonight as Ortiz does in the Series, smh
Charlie Gebow [10:16 PM]:
@Scarecrow13 Three words: Wille Freaking Bloomquist
cardinaliscardinalis [10:16 PM]:
I’m holding out hope for a Tony Cruz pinch hit appearance….
KeithKinMA [10:14 PM]:
@Scarecrow13 – point taken
Dodgerfan65 [10:14 PM]:
Send Pedroia our way we have the money……..
Gerald Gillespie [10:14 PM]:
i’d say molina plays it harder. but hey that’s not a knock. pedy can only play what’s hit to him
Dodgerfan65 [10:13 PM]:
Nice play.
Scarecrow13 [10:13 PM]:
I’ve heard a rumor that nobody plays the game harder or has more grit than Pedroia.
KeithKinMA [10:13 PM]:
that’s more like it from Pedroia
Gerald Gillespie [10:12 PM]:
is it bad form to wear your champagne goggles onto the field?
Dodgerfan65 [10:12 PM]:
Come on Cards deal Ace’s and Eights. I would like to see a game seven.
Charlie Gebow [10:10 PM]:
Thanks to Viagra, I can print the ever-loving shit out of some documents
Gerald Gillespie [10:10 PM]:
i’ll pretend there is a not in that sentence @dodgerfan65. even if that’s 1865!
Dodgerfan65 [10:09 PM]:
Oh well, you watch as many WS games that I have and you can honestly say I’ve seen it all.
Gerald Gillespie [10:09 PM]:
they made 5 that inning
John Autin [10:08 PM]:
That’s just 5 innings? Feels like the Cards have made 27 outs already.
Gerald Gillespie [10:08 PM]:
how about can of corn off holliday’s head. it’s been about 16 months since i saw that. i’d like to see that again
Grant Brisbee [10:08 PM]:
That’s how the game should have ended, you’re right. I don’t care how.
Dodgerfan65 [10:07 PM]:
I think the score has a lot to do with these recent mistakes.
Scarecrow13 [10:07 PM]:
Pfft…that should have been the play that allowed the winning run to score in the 9th for a Red Sox WS win.
Charlie Gebow [10:06 PM]:
@Gerald Gillespie Yadier Molina drop third strike inside the park home run
Gerald Gillespie [10:06 PM]:
let’s think of another way the cards can demonstrate futility tonight
KeithKinMA [10:06 PM]:
that was fun
John Autin [10:06 PM]:
Textbook!
Dodgerfan65 [10:05 PM]:
How ironic two outstanding second basemen not coming up cleanly with ground balls.
Grant Brisbee [10:04 PM]:
You’re better than Or-ee-gone, Ken.
cardinaliscardinalis [10:03 PM]:
@GBSimons I’d say pinch run, but I’m not sure that’ll be possible….
GBSimons [10:02 PM]:
Give Miller and Mujica the chance to say they pitched in the WS. Heck, if Matheny is afraid to put ’em on the mound, let ’em pinch hit.
Charlie Gebow [10:00 PM]:
@cardinaliscardinalis A reverse Ray Borque?
cardinaliscardinalis [10:00 PM]:
Any chance the Cardinals can trade Beltran mid-game so he gets that ring?
Rob Neyer [9:59 PM]:
holy crap at this rate Shelby Miller might pitch. and/or Edward Mujica.
John Autin [9:59 PM]:
Oh — Kevin Siegrist!
Grant Brisbee [9:58 PM]:
@Clefo Was in the odd spot of looking forward to the Warriors to make myself feel better about the Giants. First time in my life, I think.
Charlie Gebow [9:58 PM]:
Well, I suppose I could tide myself over in the offseason with Basketball /Looks at roster of the Phoenix Suns. Well, I hear Peyote is big these days
Rob Neyer [9:56 PM]:
Cardinals are such chokers. Can’t believe how lucky they were for six months. /kidding!
Charlie Gebow [9:55 PM]:
@KeithKinMA I see no way this fails
KeithKinMA [9:54 PM]:
@Clefo – Good point, Reynolds at short and Ryan as the bat off the bench?
KeithKinMA [9:53 PM]:
@Rob – Nope
Rob Neyer [9:53 PM]:
I gotta think even Red Sox fans hoping for home run here, just to make it interesting.
Charlie Gebow [9:51 PM]:
@KeithKinMA Pft, the Yanks have Mark Reynolds, they’re good at SS
J.R. Wolf [9:51 PM]:
Drew is worth a lot
KeithKinMA [9:50 PM]:
The ceiling on the bidding war between Cards and Yanks for Drew went up tonight
John Autin [9:50 PM]:
Ripping Matheny is fair, but the Cards are losing this Series by not scoring enough — 11 RBI through 5-1/2 games.
Grant Brisbee [9:48 PM]:
@Clefo Always appropriate.
Charlie Gebow [9:47 PM]:
In case people have forgotten this exists: This exists http://www.amazon.com/McCarver-Sings-Selections-American-Songbook/dp/B002OJGGH6/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1383184004&sr=8-2&keywords=Tim+McCarver
KeithKinMA [9:45 PM]:
Antonym time: Mike Matheny <> Joe Maddon
GBSimons [9:45 PM]:
Free Shelby Miller!!
GBSimons [9:44 PM]:
@Dodgerfan65 – thanks. Not over yet, but the fat lady is warming up…
cardinaliscardinalis [9:43 PM]:
@Clefo Shelby Miller loves this idea.
Grant Brisbee [9:42 PM]:
Lance Lynn extended his franchise record for postseason appearances. It didn’t work out.
Dodgerfan65 [9:42 PM]:
Not over yet Cardinal fans, you have a great team be proud of what they did to get here.
Charlie Gebow [9:41 PM]:
Mike Matheny or a chimp throwing darts at pictures of relievers, discuss
cardinaliscardinalis [9:40 PM]:
Mike Matheny deserves this game.
Gerald Gillespie [9:40 PM]:
IBB scored again? this is defying the odds! lol
Grant Brisbee [9:40 PM]:
Both Ortiz IBB scored. This pleases me.
Gerald Gillespie [9:38 PM]:
green monster time?
KeithKinMA [9:38 PM]:
I’d love to know the expected win % with two out / runner on second / LOOGY / Ortiz at bat vs. two out / first and second / Decent starter coming into the middle of an inning / Napoli
Rob Neyer [9:37 PM]:
Yeah, that seemed a little premature to me. Considering it’s still THE FOURTH INNING. I would have waited until the sixth or seventh. But hey, maybe MLB knows something we don’t.
Charlie Gebow [9:36 PM]:
I get this weird Eric Byrnes vibe from Gomes, like if Byrnes was able to facial hair like a werewolf
Dodgerfan65 [9:36 PM]:
Napoli and the first base coach are going to get head injuries if they keep butting helmets.
KeithKinMA [9:35 PM]:
Molina – nice
Dodgerfan65 [9:35 PM]:
@cardinaliscardinalis We may see you next year in the NLCS then we will see. Good luck next year to your Cardinals
GBSimons [9:35 PM]:
@Rob – you can’t be serious, but I just might believe this.
Rob Neyer [9:33 PM]:
MLB just sent this out: In the event of a win by the Red Sox, Mike Matheny will not be available in the Interview Room; designated pool reporters will interview Matheny and a transcript of the session will be distributed.
Dodgerfan65 [9:33 PM]:
@Dodgerfan65 I have said before rookies can hurt you too. Remember Puig? Too bad Wacha different world though, the WS in Boston needing a win is tough.
Grant Brisbee [9:33 PM]:
Yadier with some serious pitcher-whispering as Wacha leaves. As much as the Cardinals bugged me, that was a good moment.
cardinaliscardinalis [9:32 PM]:
@Dodgerfan65 It’s the generalizing…maybe just semantics, but your sentence targets “everyone” so I read it as such… but hey, now we have something to find middle ground on—getting stomped in our last game of the season! haha
GBSimons [9:32 PM]:
Good grief. Ortiz is not infallible. Pitch to him!
Gerald Gillespie [9:31 PM]:
his*
KeithKinMA [9:31 PM]:
OK – really don’t get the walk here. Bring in Choate to pitch to Ortiz
Charlie Gebow [9:31 PM]:
@Gerald Gillespie I was about to ask if those were non-refundable, since I’m poor/a fan of a team that isn’t in the playoffs all the time.
Gerald Gillespie [9:30 PM]:
at least he’ll get this $10,000 back
Grant Brisbee [9:30 PM]:
Note that right now, there’s a Red Sox fan with tickets to Game 7 who is rooting for the Cardinals tonight. Let’s all take a moment to laugh at that person.
Rob Neyer [9:30 PM]:
McCarver: “I’m a little surprised Randy Choate’s not up.” YES
Grant Brisbee [9:29 PM]:
Just filed my game article to Neyer, who patted me on the butt as I left the mound.
KeithKinMA [9:28 PM]:
Grady Little er Mike Matheny walks back to the dugout and leaves his struggling starter in
Charlie Gebow [9:28 PM]:
@robneyer If there’s one thing this WS has taught me, it’s that good managerial acumen is not a prerequisite for getting to one.
Dodgerfan65 [9:28 PM]:
@cardinaliscardinalis Did I say anything personal against you sir? I’d appreciate the same. I do like the Cardinals just not some of their fans.
Rob Neyer [9:27 PM]:
Seems like Wacha’s outta gas. Matheny doesn’t care. As usual. What a lousy few weeks he’s had.
KeithKinMA [9:27 PM]:
Shelby time?
cardinaliscardinalis [9:27 PM]:
There’s just an empty pit of despair at the bottom of the STL lineup. I’m going to fill it with Scotch and make these feelings disappear.
Grant Brisbee [9:26 PM]:
Impressive sound editing on the delay.
cardinaliscardinalis [9:25 PM]:
@Dodgerfan65 Don’t be such a sourpuss, it’s not becoming of you. Anyone with a brain knows how great Kershaw is.
Charlie Gebow [9:25 PM]:
Yep, game’s over. No way the Angels come back against the Giants bullpen. Wait, what?
Grant Brisbee [9:25 PM]:
Drew family with more Boston championships than Yastrzemskis, Williamses, Rices, and Greenwells combined. Who’d’v’e thunk.
Rob Neyer [9:25 PM]:
Huh. Stephen Drew with a blast. Who could have imagined that? /i did. i imagined that.
KeithKinMA [9:25 PM]:
The Bruins looked good with a minute to go in Game 6 too – Sports are fun – until they’re not
Gerald Gillespie [9:24 PM]:
i sense a re-signing now
Dodgerfan65 [9:24 PM]:
@KeithKinMA Can you say overkill. I bet the Cardinal fans were thinking that Wacha was better than Kershaw, not!
KeithKinMA [9:24 PM]:
Remember – Drew is in there for his defense – so that HR doesn’t actually count
Dodgerfan65 [9:22 PM]:
@KeithKinMA Funny post……..looking good Boston
Grant Brisbee [9:20 PM]:
Devil showed up with an IOU, y’all.
Charlie Gebow [9:20 PM]:
What happened to David Freese’s clutchitude gene?
KeithKinMA [9:19 PM]:
what’s the record for most put-outs by a left-fielder with an Amish beard?
Grant Brisbee [9:18 PM]:
So weird for me to see Pedroia screw up. Don’t watch him often enough to ever see it. Kind of jarring.
Gerald Gillespie [9:15 PM]:
@rob neyer i’d rather have a su2c moment delay an inning then a manager interview during an at-bat
Charlie Gebow [9:15 PM]:
It’s a near-certainty that right now Bobby Valentine is chugging bottles of Wild Turkey and throwing them at the TV when he’s done, right?
John Autin [9:12 PM]:
Holliday’s only chance to kill the 3rd run was to be near the wall and catch the carom with no bounce. But most visiting LFs don’t know that the ball usually dies off the Monster.
Charlie Gebow [9:10 PM]:
SLOW MOTION CHEERING ENHANCES THE EXPERIENCE
JohnCzech [9:10 PM]:
I still would have walked Oritz. Wacha just let this inning slip after hitting Gomes. He got the big second out. Just couldn’t put the inning away.
Gerald Gillespie [9:10 PM]:
2-1 count this time
KeithKinMA [9:09 PM]:
Was that a curveball to Victorino again?
Grant Brisbee [9:09 PM]:
Great call by Joyce.
Grant Brisbee [9:09 PM]:
@KeithKinMA Yeah. Exactly.
Charlie Gebow [9:08 PM]:
Always good when an IBB comes around to score
JohnCzech [9:08 PM]:
Victorino blows this entire postseason except for the two times he gets up to the plate with the bases loaded…. WTF!>
Gerald Gillespie [9:08 PM]:
gotta ____ the green monster
KeithKinMA [9:08 PM]:
Captain Hindsight says – Bad call walking Ortiz
JohnCzech [9:07 PM]:
That was cool Gomes but still not as badass as this
Gerald Gillespie [9:07 PM]:
that’s a “i don’t care i’m wearing a pad” attempt to get out of the way
JohnCzech [9:06 PM]:
That was cool Gomes but still not as badass as this
Charlie Gebow [9:06 PM]:
Michael Hpbcha
JohnCzech [9:05 PM]:
Good curve.
cardinaliscardinalis [9:05 PM]:
@robneyer Surprise game seven starter. Called it.
JohnCzech [9:04 PM]:
Well, so far the walk to Ortiz is paying off. There’s out number two.
Rob Neyer [9:04 PM]:
I guess it’s too much hope that Shelby Miller gets the W in this game.
JohnCzech [9:04 PM]:
*that
JohnCzech [9:03 PM]:
I think Bob Gibson would agree with taht, Gerald.
Gerald Gillespie [9:03 PM]:
more economical to throw one at his ribs ;)
Gerald Gillespie [9:02 PM]:
actually i hate giving 4 straight
JohnCzech [9:02 PM]:
I’d say so. You got the double play set up for Napoli. Plus David Ortiz has swung and missed only THREE times this entire series. I’ll take my chances with Napoli. Over the guy hitting .733
Grant Brisbee [9:02 PM]:
Ortiz’s series OBP just went down.
Gerald Gillespie [9:02 PM]:
i’ll let you know in about 10 more pitches
KeithKinMA [9:01 PM]:
walking Ortiz here – good move?
JohnCzech [9:01 PM]:
There was a change up. A damn good one, too.
JohnCzech [9:01 PM]:
Take notes, Wong.
Grant Brisbee [9:00 PM]:
@Rodger Sherman First-base coaches are the Aquaman of coaching staffs.
Gerald Gillespie [9:00 PM]:
@JohnCzech i think it would be dangerous to have the same high rate he had last time
JohnCzech [9:00 PM]:
His fastball velo looks a bit better tonight too.
cardinaliscardinalis [9:00 PM]:
@Rodger Sherman or have both of them coach first and gain EVERYTHING ;-)
JohnCzech [9:00 PM]:
Is it me or has Wacha thrown a lot less change-ups tonight than his last time out?
Rodger Sherman [8:59 PM]:
@Grant Brisbee just have one of em coach first base, too, and you lose nothing, right?
JohnCzech [8:58 PM]:
I can’t disagree with having two. Sometimes having four eyes is better than two.
Grant Brisbee [8:57 PM]:
Two hitting coaches makes sense, imo
JohnCzech [8:57 PM]:
The Tigers had two hitting coaches in 2012. They had McClendon and Toby Harrah.
Charlie Gebow [8:56 PM]:
@cardinaliscardinalis Which is not totally uncommon around MLB
cardinaliscardinalis [8:55 PM]:
@KeithKinMA They have one hitting coach and an assistant. Not exclusively left for left, right for right.
JohnCzech [8:55 PM]:
Looks like Drew just bought him an excuse to wear the collar again tonight with that DP. lol
Grant Brisbee [8:54 PM]:
@Gerald Gillespie Probably something to be done with lasers, I’d think.
KeithKinMA [8:54 PM]:
The Cardinals have a left-handed hitting coach and a right-handed hitting coach? Really?
JohnCzech [8:54 PM]:
Evening, gents.
Gerald Gillespie [8:53 PM]:
was watching the replay at commercial break. why aren’t foul pouls taller? seems enough balls go above foul poles
Grant Brisbee [8:50 PM]:
Wow. Was more convinced by Wacha’s ability to get out of the jam than Lackey’s, but that’s probably cognitive bias.
Grant Brisbee [8:45 PM]:
That wacha probably wasn’t the best idea.
Charlie Gebow [8:43 PM]:
AMMMURICAH
Rob Neyer [8:42 PM]:
People seem shocked about the Cardinals not hitting .330 w/RiSP in World Series, too.
Grant Brisbee [8:41 PM]:
| Cardinals | a bunch of recent World Series |
| Red Sox | a bunch of recent World Series |
Pablo Mercado [8:40 PM]:
what is the score so lazy
Grant Brisbee [8:39 PM]:
It’s like the Cardinals have to make every team with RPG-like sliders, so that when they increase Matt Adams and Michael Wacha’s talent, they have to take away from Jon Jay and David Freese.
Charlie Gebow [8:37 PM]:
Wild Pitch! Now there’s a 50% chance that Craig could score on a single
Grant Brisbee [8:36 PM]:
It’s weird that the Cardinals’ ability to summon hits with runners in scoring position isn’t automatic in the postseason.
Grant Brisbee [8:33 PM]:
Man, Gomes almost ran into a “C”
Grant Brisbee [8:32 PM]:
Terrible 0-2 pitch to Molina. Just not high enough.
Charlie Gebow [8:25 PM]:
@Grant Brisbee He is the commentating version of throwing a back-breaking interception off the back foot in a Conference Championship Gam3e
Grant Brisbee [8:24 PM]:
@Clefo He will Favre us all.
Charlie Gebow [8:23 PM]:
We could have 8 innings left of Tim McCarver talking over Baseball games on TV
Grant Brisbee [8:21 PM]:
Godzilla just walked. What do you do with that?
Grant Brisbee [8:21 PM]:
Not sure what a walk there means in that context. Like when we used to argue about whether King Kong or Godzilla won in Godzilla vs. King Kong.
Grant Brisbee [8:19 PM]:
That perfectly placed first-pitch fastball was like a feather-ruffling or head-butting that you’d see in National Geographic. Alpha-male stuff.
Grant Brisbee [8:17 PM]:
Pedroia came up just a little … short.
Rob Neyer [8:17 PM]:
gotta love the shift
Grant Brisbee [8:17 PM]:
Whoa, that was close.
Grant Brisbee [8:16 PM]:

Grant Brisbee [8:14 PM]:
Man, how I wish the 2002 Giants won with cheating. They tried.
Charlie Gebow [8:14 PM]:
@Grant Brisbee Kind of funny to think that the Patriots have the longest championship drought of all the Boston teams now
Grant Brisbee [8:14 PM]:
@KeithKinMA No.
KeithKinMA [8:13 PM]:
Patriots have never won a Super Bowl without cheating – does that count as a drought?
Grant Brisbee [8:12 PM]:
I think I’d feel better about the Red Sox winning if, like, just one Boston team had a crazy championship drought. But, boy, that sure isn’t the case.
Charlie Gebow [8:12 PM]:
My real big worry about the Red Sox winning is that henceforth all teams will start growing really dumb beards around playoff time.
