Bauer is horrible.

Shit, I don’t do baseball and even just the play-by-play of this game here has me on the edge of my seat…

We got the Cavs, so…it’s all good.

This is a good, young team. They’ll be back and this one isn’t over. Francona is a terrific manager.

If the Cubs and Hillary win, it’ll blow up all those important social baseball stats.

Schwarber is another Kirk Gibson. Out most of the season and comes back k for the WS and starts potentially the game winning rally. Different than Gibson technically I know.

End of the inning.

8-6.

Alright.

Bottom half, season on the line for Cleveland.

Cubs three outs from a title.

The inning ends on a fly ball … bottom of the tenth: Cubs 8-6 Indians.

Speaking of Harry Carey, Dan St. Paul did a couple of bits on Bob & Tom ages ago that are hilarious:

The first baseball game ever made

These MI political ads are so negative. I can’t wait til this is over.

The Cubs can run out the clock by playing until the sun goes nova… .

When my mom was 9, my granddad moved the family to Chicago for a job during the pit of the Great Depression. They stayed three years and right from the start she was a Cubs fan. Watching this game with her is driving me nuts. Everything is a disaster waiting to happen. Of course, a Cubs fan for 84 years is entitled to this point of view. But please, can we just end thing at 8-6?

retired cynic  Nov 2, 2016 • 9:37:50pm

2 outs to go

Depending on interpretation using the word “blew” can be worth a strong retort. That could be seen as mocking. He could say: they gave up a three run lead, they lost a three run lead, the lead got away from them, etc.

Is Theo Epstein with the Cubbies?

Yep. I remember when he came to the Red Sox and then good things happened. The guy has the touch. (Was reading his bio and his grandfather and great uncle wrote the screenplay for Casablanca.)

re: #225 piratedan

pretty fucking scary that you can have agents, inside a supposedly apolitical agency, trying to smear a presidential candidate citing a source that has all of the nutritional content of olive loaf.

i absolutely love olive loaf. I’ve literally written a poem about it.
