I'm hoping tomorrows game will be better.

These off days are a glimpse of the coming baseball off-season. Boo hiss. I hope the crew can provide me with beast mode awesomeness for another good while.

 

[passedpawn]

... beast mode awesomeness ...

Hah! Good luck with that.

I need the off-season. Back to reading in the evenings: my nerves need a rest.

 

[iaefebs]

my nerves need a rest.

Me too.... at least till tomorrow.

Just found this thread, glad to see so many baseball lovers here. I must say that the Braves meltdown was heartbreaking for me. Thank god for the Red Sox, they kept us from having the worst meltdown in baseball history, as well as off of ESPN for the most part. Now I'm pulling for the Red Birds. I hate the phillies with a passion, and I haven't liked the Yankees since they decided that they would buy championships. Unfortunately, a few teams have taken that approach in todays game (Philly, Bosox, Yanks)

I can't wait for next year. Atlanta has the best pitching staff potential, by far. If we can shake this injury bug, we will be the heavy favorites.

Until then, Go Cardinals!

Come on Rays. Down 2-1. But Tehas is better on the road. Take tomorrow and beat them at home!

 

[WildGingerBrewing]

I don't have any problem with celebrating our victory in Tampa AGAIN!!! Let's end this thing today! Go Rangers!!!!!

I wish they had ordered some clutch hits with that money they spent to buy championships.

But, but, but, the Cardinals? Really? What 's wrong with the Brewers?????

 

[smakudwn]

Because hes pulling for a winner?

 

[WildGingerBrewing]

If he was pulling for a winner he'd be rooting for the Rangers!

 

[brew2enjoy]

Lets go PHILLIES!!!!!

 

[passedpawn]

If he was pulling for a winner he'd be rooting for the Rangers!

You'll be sorry you committed to that by the end of this day. Victory, RAYS!

 

[Bernie Brewer]

Careful. Karma can be a real bitch.

 

[Bernie Brewer]

Seriously. How can ANYONE root for a Larussa-managed team???? Watching him on MLB network right now. He has got to be the biggest whiniest crybaby ever.

 

[user 574]

You all should root for your own team 1st and then the Brewers since you're hobby is, uhm Brewing?

 

[Boerderij_Kabouter]

I would love to meat the Cards in the CS... so long as we win. I don't think I could stomach losing to LaRussa and the rest of those smug little b@tches. The are the only team I really dislike... a lot.

 

[iaefebs]

I'd think I would intentional walk Beltre next at bat.

 

[shecky]

Rays "fans" continue to prove why baseball should be moved out of Florida. Elimination playoff game and there appear to be plenty of good seats available.

Passedpawn needs to recruit more people like himself. That attendance is just disgusting.

I had the exact same thought.

2:00 is a not a good time for a game but, yeah, there shouldn't be any open seats. There are a LOT of Rays fans, they just don't go to the games.

BTW, I sat 5 few rows behind Joe Torre at the game last night. He wears a suit to the game (?).

 

[WildGingerBrewing]

Yo Adrian! Hit another one!!! I bought the mlb postseason.tv alds package at 1:00 central time today, just so could watch the game at work! Glad I did.

And i dont get the Rays fans either. That place should be rocking right now! Maybe it is that horrible "ballpark" ya'll have. And I use the term "ballpark" loosely!

 

[passedpawn]

Honestly, I think almost everyone who goes there likes it. Media hates it. If you've gone there and didn't like it, well you've a right to your opinion. It might not compare to other stadiums, but I love the place. I have partial season tickets right behind the plate so I have a better spot than a lot of fans... maybe that makes a difference.

If you haven't been there, then commenting on it is probably not appropriate. I wouldn't comment on Ranger's Ballpark (but I do expect to get a much better look at it during game 5 )

 

[WildGingerBrewing]

Point taken. I have not been there so i cannot make a good judgment. However, i have seen enough of it in the last 2 years to know that it must be very difficult to see a pop-up in that place with the white roof. I also think the catwalks and having to have "catwalk rules" are kind of ridiculous. That being said, if i lived there and was a Rays fan, i would love every minute of it! To me it's all about the baseball experience. Not the park in which it is happening. And the Rangers Ballpark kicks ass! Ha

 

[Crew]

I'm not a fan of LaRussa really.. but if anyone in the playoffs deserves a ring, its Pujols. I don't know the guy personally, but he is by far the most talented player, and really the only thing he is missing is a ring.

I like the rangers a lot, and I really enjoy how Nolan Ryan runs the team, so I would say they are probably my AL favorite. I love watching the Rays play, but their fanbase is a joke.. At least the Marlins have an excuse for an empty stadium, they never win.

In their defense, the location is terrible with that bridge issue and their lease is bankrupting them.

In order I would say I am rooting for the Cardinals, Brewers, Rangers, Rays, Tigers, Dbacks, Yankees.

 

[passedpawn]

Feliz is amazing. ( But thanks for that walk. )

Shoot, all the retirees should go. Vitale is tweeting about the lack of fans.

Torre works for MLB. Suit must be work attire.
