Timlin is up? Good God I need a drink.
It just occurred to me that we did this in game 2 of the ALCS last October as well.
THIS will end better.
::knocks wood::
Ian: Vicodin. Big handfuls of vicodin.
I’m thinking happy thoughts…….meep.
Oh, it’s a ball NOW.
Don’t make me go to the Ben & Jerrys Timlin…. that’s never a good sign.
nah fc all you need is 1 of the 750mg extra strength jobs
Was that the same location of the pitch Kotsay struck out on?
Yes, Mac, it was.
Where is the strike zone?
I love uninformed fans who are booing timlin throwing the ball over to first to keep the runner close.
i take it farrell got tossed from the game since arguing balls and strikes usually constitutes an ejection
I vote for a TRIPLEPLAY!
well fuck me timlin.
I am taking deep breaths…. I am taking deep breaths…. I am taking deep breaths….
Ian, I’ll have you know I’m a total night owl. Especially on the weekends. That said, I may have to follow Jessi’s lead fairly soon. The asthma stuff earlier really wore me out.
Damn walks.
and thanks awful TBS announcers for letting us know farrell was ejected.
I am going to forward you guys my “in case of emergency” contact info.
jenny – A triple play would be awesome.
well this isn’t looking good. I’m expecting an intentional walk here.
Maaaaaaaaaaan. I am totally remembering pacing around my stepfather’s lake place in Vermont last October.
Are we sure we haven’t just rocketed back in time?
My mom just texted me:
“I just woke up and saw Timlin. I thought I was dreaming.”
As my darling dad would say: THIS IS WHEN IT’S FUN!
If we can just get a DP…
GIDP
GIDP
GIDPPPPPP
GIDP!
I have playoff stomach.
FUCKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK
FUCKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK
FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK.
OK, as much as this sucks right now, I gotta say I feel pretty good heading back to Boston with the split.
AAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH FUCKKKKKKKKKKKKKK.
Jenny…. I concur.
I hate baseball.
Poor Mikey Timlin. He’s just … sigh. ::pats him on the head::
Okay Jenny, you’re right. But still…
*thinks positively*
This happened last year. The series ain’t over yet. We have Lester pitching on Monday. We’ll be at Fenway. It ain’t over yet.
Fuck
I don’t even want to know what the so called Rays “fans” are doing now.
Ok well that sucked – but hey, splitting here is pretty good for a team that only managed one other win this year at this dump.
OK. Now I need bed. I have a boatload of unpacking to do tomorrow.
We’ll take care of business on Monday. ;D
G’night all!
Probably acting like the Rays, jumping around like they won the WS. Ugh.
Well, I’m off to drown my frustrations in LJ and photoshop.
Night all, see you monday!
Wow – some of you guys just…recover.
My bed is calling me too. I’ll get to Monday’s game for the late innings. See y’all then.
fc let us know you’re still alive in the morning
Yeah, fc…feel better and hang in there.
Jenni:
It sucks to lose, but we’re 1-1. This series is by no means over–and we knew that this wasn’t going to be a pushover.
The main thing to keep in mind is that, like the Angels, the Rays didn’t beat us in 9, and for the next three games, they can’t get a walkoff.
Enjoy Sunday, everybody.
