GameCast: American League Championship Series – New York Yankees at Boston Red Sox, 4 p.m. CDT, Game Five

Postseason Baseball on October 18, 2004 at 3:45 pm

Who knew I could be this boring?

Mr. Paulino Martinez on October 18, 2004 at 3:48 pm

Who knew I wasn’t actually Pedro’s father?

Gabor Bako on October 18, 2004 at 3:51 pm

Who knew that I too can beat herpes? Thanks, Dolan!

Derek Jeter on October 18, 2004 at 4:01 pm

We’re totally going to win! Does anyone care?

Jim Edmonds on October 18, 2004 at 4:02 pm

Who knew the dog that played Lassie was a boy?

Sigmond Freud on October 18, 2004 at 4:04 pm

Who knew that Jeter’s "Don Juanism" was actually a facade covering up a latency?

Cubs Game Casts on October 18, 2004 at 4:04 pm

Hi remember us?

Andy on October 18, 2004 at 4:08 pm

I think we should do today’s GameCast in Cubs Live! style.

Torre basher on October 18, 2004 at 4:10 pm

Joe Torre is so dumb, why would he bring in Rivera in the eighth last night, that stupid jackass! He only needed six outs and he goes with Rivera? Unbelievable! He should have have pinch hit Lofton for Bernie in the 11th. They deserved to lose. Now we’re gonna blow this series because he’s so dumb! What’s he ever won? And he looks like a big raccoon in the dugout!

Yankee Chuck on October 18, 2004 at 4:10 pm

DereK is more like it! Would it kill this guy to ever take a pitch?

Alex K Rodriguez on October 18, 2004 at 4:11 pm

I wonder if I can take a walk?

Bulls marketing department on October 18, 2004 at 4:11 pm

Everything can change in the blink of an eye!

Yankee Chuck on October 18, 2004 at 4:12 pm

You’re the real K-Rod Alex! You should take a pitch!

Torre Basher on October 18, 2004 at 4:13 pm

Why lead off Jeter? Where’s Lofton? He should be leading off. And A-Rod batting second? That’s so stupid! What have they ever won with those two batting 1-2? What’s next Sheffield third? It’s lunacy!

Torre is so dumb. All he ever does is sit there in the dugout with his hands in his jacket! He should be yelling at these guys!

Chuck on October 18, 2004 at 4:14 pm

I’m not a Yankee Fan. Let’s use MarK Bellhorn as the Korey stand in, oK?

Tony Klark on October 18, 2004 at 4:14 pm

I’ve had a great series, haven’t I? How much do I sucKKKK?

Pedro Prior on October 18, 2004 at 4:14 pm

I’m looking good guys

Sawx Chuck on October 18, 2004 at 4:15 pm

The Horn sucks! Why’s he playing? Where’s Pokey?

Chuck on October 18, 2004 at 4:15 pm

Pedro Martinez is the second most overrated athlete in Boston. He just doesn’t win. He’s not the 5th best pitcher in the league. He’s not even in the top 2 on his team!

The Dominican Franchise on October 18, 2004 at 4:15 pm

I’m your daddy now, Yankees!

1-2-3, except for the two part!

PoKKKKKey on October 18, 2004 at 4:15 pm

Notice my name and you’ll see why I’m not playing

Mets Fan Steve on October 18, 2004 at 4:16 pm

I know my Mets were out of it two weeks before the All-Star Break, but the Yanks suck.

Paul Pierce on October 18, 2004 at 4:16 pm

Screw you, Chuck. I’m the second most overrated athlete in Boston.

I’m also the most frequently stabbed athlete in Boston.

Chuck on October 18, 2004 at 4:17 pm

Egad. I’ve been "Chipped." A fake poster has me calling marK, "the Horn."

Gimme a short sword. Time for sepuku.

George Ofman on October 18, 2004 at 4:18 pm

The Sox are LYING about Pedro. They’re LYING, I’m telling you!

Tom Brady on October 18, 2004 at 4:19 pm

Hey, if I’m the most overrated athlete in Boston (and I think I’m who you mean) I’m going to have my girlfriend, Bridget wear my Super Bowl rings as tassles. I think I’ll be able to forget your cutting wit.

Dale Sveum on October 18, 2004 at 4:19 pm

Wendell Kim sucks! He deserved it.

Harry Caray on October 18, 2004 at 4:20 pm

Hey Chuck! It’s pronounced Irabu not sepuku! What’s sepuku backwards? Ukupes!

Now where’s Orlindo Cabuki! He’s a dandy ballplayer, Steve!

Al Leiter on October 18, 2004 at 4:21 pm

I absolved Dale on last night’s broadcast and said you can’t hold up one runner when he’s right behind another one.

Harry Caray on October 18, 2004 at 4:21 pm

Orlindo Cabuki singles to left field!

A-Cups on October 18, 2004 at 4:21 pm

Looks like Superbowl rings would about cover it.

Sturtze on October 18, 2004 at 4:21 pm

rhymes with Wuertz

Nomar on October 18, 2004 at 4:22 pm

Go Yankees!

Tom Brady on October 18, 2004 at 4:23 pm

Sure, her boobs are small, but she could suck a Super Bowl ring through a Steak n’ Shake straw.

Wuertz on October 18, 2004 at 4:23 pm

Rymes with ohmyfuckinggodareyoubad.

Andy on October 18, 2004 at 4:23 pm

From bad to Sturtze.

Cam Neely on October 18, 2004 at 4:23 pm

Kick his ass, Sea Bass!

Andy on October 18, 2004 at 4:24 pm

Two Sawx fans with a "Monster MannyIA" sign.

Is that for Manny, Iowa?

The Amish on October 18, 2004 at 4:25 pm

That’s Amana, Iwa.

Baseball God on October 18, 2004 at 4:26 pm

It’s so cute the way the Red Sox still think they can win.

Don’t they know it’s only going to hurt more if they get kinda close?

Oh, well, they haven’t learned in 86 years, why should they learn now?

Torre Basher on October 18, 2004 at 4:26 pm

Mussina’s a pussy.He has Manny Ramirez 0-2 and throws 2 balls?!?

I played high school baseball with Scott Rolen at Jasper High School. I can throw strikes! Mussina’s a pussy. Torre’s a pussy!

Steve Stone on October 18, 2004 at 4:26 pm

Would somebody please tell me what the visibility is like? Hello!?!??

David Ortiz on October 18, 2004 at 4:26 pm

I am a Ray King who can really hit the ball.

Bridget Moynahan on October 18, 2004 at 4:27 pm

They’re B’s at the very least.

Man-EEE on October 18, 2004 at 4:28 pm

I’m a gladiator buddy

Kent Mercker on October 18, 2004 at 4:29 pm

Shut the hell up, McCarver!

Straw on October 18, 2004 at 4:29 pm

Torre Basher you are doing a fantastic job!!! Your knowledge of baseball is endless. Keep up the good work. Baker Basher would be proud.

Dusty Baker on October 18, 2004 at 4:31 pm

Why are you guys clogging up the bases???!!

Matt Clement on October 18, 2004 at 4:31 pm

Sack it up, Moose.

Farnsworth on October 18, 2004 at 4:31 pm

Mussina looks good out there.

Bridget on October 18, 2004 at 4:31 pm

I can’t find my shirt!

Torre Basher on October 18, 2004 at 4:32 pm

Mussina’s given up runs?!?! In a playoff game?!?!? He sucks, waive him tonight. What a fucking pussy he is. What is he doing, allowing Red Sox batters to get on base! He’s a pantywaist.

Kerry Wood on October 18, 2004 at 4:32 pm

He hasn’t even hit anybody yet. What’s wrong with him?

Larry Rothschild on October 18, 2004 at 4:33 pm

Sure hope that worked.

Eliza Dushku on October 18, 2004 at 4:33 pm

Hey, what are you guys up to?

Dusty Baker on October 18, 2004 at 4:33 pm

Keep swinging Tek. You CAN’T walk across the plate. You just can’t.

Sloth on October 18, 2004 at 4:34 pm

I’m still confused about who would be #1 overrated in Boston. In my mind, Pedro is #1 anyway, but who else is in the group picture? Pierce, maybe. Brady, don’t think so.

I know who is #1-4 clutch in Boston history:
1) Russell
2) Bird
3) Vinateri
4) some Red Sawx…haa, psych!

Michael Barrett on October 18, 2004 at 4:35 pm

If Varitek fails to get anyone home, who on here will accuse him of being a cokehead?

Mike Greenwell on October 18, 2004 at 4:35 pm

I’m the most overrated boston athlete!

Kerry Wood on October 18, 2004 at 4:36 pm

Holy Crap.

Kerry Musina on October 18, 2004 at 4:36 pm

This looks like a start at Shea Stadium

The Vaunted Yankees Bullpen on October 18, 2004 at 4:36 pm

When do we get there?

Sarah Wood on October 18, 2004 at 4:36 pm

Wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee! I like bases loaded walks! Fun!

Stevie Loaiza on October 18, 2004 at 4:37 pm

Don’t worry. I’ll be warming up soon. Felix and I can take it from here.

Bill Mueller on October 18, 2004 at 4:37 pm

I can only hit Mariano Rivera.

Torre Basher on October 18, 2004 at 4:37 pm

Why haven’t they pulled Mussina yet? Why isn’t Loaiza ready to go? You can’t have Mussina out there. He’s a pussy. he doesn’t have the sac for big games.

Antoine Walker on October 18, 2004 at 4:37 pm

If I was rated, then I was overrated.

Bill Meyooooler on October 18, 2004 at 4:38 pm

The ex-Cub factor strikes (out) again!

Andy on October 18, 2004 at 4:38 pm

Most overrated Boston athlete? I’m going with Rosie Ruiz!

FYI on October 18, 2004 at 4:39 pm

Rosie: http://www.museumofhoaxes.com/day/04_20_2001.html

Dave Groeschner and Sandy Krum on October 18, 2004 at 4:39 pm

Curt’s ankle looks fine to us.

La Franchisco! on October 18, 2004 at 4:39 pm

I will shut down the Jankees! We’ve got to get back to cinco outs from the Series de Worlde!

Dusty Baker on October 18, 2004 at 4:40 pm

How did that 2nd run score? I know it wasn’t because of Tek’s walk. That would be impossible.

Barry Rozner on October 18, 2004 at 4:40 pm

I love it when the Cubs fire trainers! I get to write really sympathetic articles about how hard it is for them to find jobs that pay them 14 times what a normal athletic trainer should ever be expected to earn.

George Steinbrenner on October 18, 2004 at 4:40 pm

I think I’m going to buy the Red Sox…

Francona basher on October 18, 2004 at 4:41 pm

Get somebody up in the pen! Pedro’s got nothing! Did you see how far Bernie hit that? It’s a good thing it wasn’t Lofton!

Torre basher on October 18, 2004 at 4:42 pm

These solo homers aren’t gonna do us ANY good.

Dave Groeschner and Sandy Krum on October 18, 2004 at 4:43 pm

Wait, we changed our mind(s). Schilling needs surgery on his ankle. He’s done.

Dave Groeschner and Sandy Krum on October 18, 2004 at 4:46 pm

But he’ll be ready to go for game 7.

Chip McCarver on October 18, 2004 at 4:46 pm

Honesty compels me to note that the Yammering Yanks, the Battlin’ Bronx Bomber Buckaroo Biggio Dates, simply can’t be counted out yet. Their vaunted bullpen spells disaster if the Boston Nine can’t increase their lead.

Hey Stoney Al Leiter, remember last night, at the restaurant, when you didn’t want to pick up the check? That was awesome. Hehehehe….

Brian Cashman and Theo Epstein on October 18, 2004 at 4:47 pm

Have our wives left us?

Joe Cornejo on October 18, 2004 at 4:47 pm

Any babes in the crowd today?

Joe Buck on October 18, 2004 at 4:48 pm

Slam a lhama ding dong that is actually jim Edmonds war cry

Ron Santo on October 18, 2004 at 4:49 pm

Say Pat, who’s the contestant in the Cub Foods attendance game?

Johnnie Cochran on October 18, 2004 at 4:49 pm

There was an ad for my law firm on the Yankees radio broadcast.

Stoney Al Leiter on October 18, 2004 at 4:50 pm

Swamy say……I see a cut fastball at the hands on the next pitch. And I was right! You’re an idiot Terry Francona, not your best night. Now get off the dock and push the ship in boys, there’s a blockbuster of a visibility problem in here, my metaphors are mixed, Chip back to you!

Teri Basher on October 18, 2004 at 4:50 pm

Someone wants to bash me?

Ron Santo on October 18, 2004 at 4:51 pm

Say Pat why did this Johhny Damon fellow steal all my hair pieces?

KKKorey on October 18, 2004 at 4:51 pm

To readers #21 and #16:

Can I join the playoffs strikeout club?

WAIT! I can’t join that club because we aren’t in the playoffs thanks to ME!

Ron on October 18, 2004 at 4:52 pm

Damon’s got the gamer on. Only he wears it on his neck.

This gamecast is brought to you... on October 18, 2004 at 4:52 pm

…by the fine folks at Square D:

Sammy on October 18, 2004 at 4:53 pm

Hey Corey, buddy! Don’t take all the credit, buddy! We couldn’t have missed the playoffs without me and and LaTroy, buddy!

Andrea Darlas on October 18, 2004 at 4:54 pm

Anybody need a traffic update?

Al Czervik on October 18, 2004 at 4:55 pm

Hey Darlas, the last time I saw a mouth like that, it had a hook in it!

Square D guy on the far right in the tennis shoes on October 18, 2004 at 4:55 pm

I play a lot of golf, don’t I?

Chuck on October 18, 2004 at 4:55 pm

That wasn’t me. I swear. I was too bizzy looking a nekid Teri pics.

Da Boyz on October 18, 2004 at 4:56 pm

Jose Vizcaino, Ray King, Tony Womack, Julian Tavarez, Bill Mueller, Mark Bellhorn, Miguel Cairo, Tom Gordon, Jon Lieber, Felix Heredia, Kenny Lofton:

We send you all our love and kisses! What a team we’d make!

Tanyon Sturtze on October 18, 2004 at 4:58 pm

Hey, #97, what gives?

http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/players/stats?statsId=5341

KKKorey on October 18, 2004 at 4:59 pm

To Sammy Sosa (#92)
Damn! I forgot about you and LaTroy!
Afterall you are the two most egocentric players on the team!

Da New Boyz on October 18, 2004 at 4:59 pm

JD Drew, Carlos Beltran, Edgar Renteria, Troy Percival:

Right back atcha.

Al Leiter on October 18, 2004 at 4:59 pm

"This is a cat and mouse scenario…" And Pedro’s wearing big fuckin’ mouse ears.

Trot Nixon on October 18, 2004 at 5:00 pm

I wipe my ass with my hat.

Andy on October 18, 2004 at 5:01 pm

I like A-Rod’s reaction to Trot’s diving catch. He gave him the "whatever" wave.

They’re going to have add these "timeout" pitches to Pedro’s total, he’s thrown three that haven’t counted.

Tanyon Sturtze Fan Club on October 18, 2004 at 5:01 pm

Ah yes, how soon we forget. Those 13 glorious IP in the mid-nineties. The walks. The runs. The infamy. Good times.

the guy who wrote post #89 on October 18, 2004 at 5:01 pm

huge fag

Bob Scanlan on October 18, 2004 at 5:02 pm

I remember Sturtze. He sucked. Unlike me.

B(oston).C. on October 18, 2004 at 5:02 pm

I firmly believe that if the Yankees don’t score more runs today, there’s a maybe 75% chance that we can force a Game 6.

A-Rod on October 18, 2004 at 5:03 pm

Anybody got #89’s phone number? Maybe a Yahoo Instant Messenger addy? Mine’s astroglidenyy13.

Some More New Boyz on October 18, 2004 at 5:04 pm

Paul Abbott, Jeff Reboulet, Bob Wickman, Midre Cummings, Orlando Merced, Jeffery Hammonds,Robert Person

We wouldn’t doubt that Dusty would consider having Jim Hendry signing some of us to bring some "veteran leadership" to the team!

BC on October 18, 2004 at 5:05 pm

I think the Boston will definitely do well today, maybe. I’ve got a Human Sexuality exam tonight. One of the Illini cheerleaders wanted to help me study. But I said no. I think maybe he’s mad at me now.

Hee Seop Choi on October 18, 2004 at 5:06 pm

I’ll be available.

I can be singing karaoke in Des Moines next May.

KKKorey on October 18, 2004 at 5:07 pm

To #105:
I am not a fag! I am just a sucky centerfielder who strikes out too much!

Illini Cheerleaders! on October 18, 2004 at 5:07 pm

Look out, it’s BC! Aaaaaaahhh!

Vice-President of BC fanclub on October 18, 2004 at 5:08 pm

I’m an assclown!

Julian Tavarez on October 18, 2004 at 5:10 pm

Why isn’t this article about me???

Time to kick a metal fan ala Kyle Farnsworth?

Julian Tavarez on October 18, 2004 at 5:10 pm

Why isn’t this article about me???

Time to kick a metal fan ala Kyle Farnsworth!

Francona Basher on October 18, 2004 at 5:10 pm

Um, batting Mueller and Bellhorn back-to-back isn’t too bright, you know? Where the hell is Pokey? Why isn’t Youkilis in there for Mueller anyway, goddam Francona always plays the vets over the kids. Assmunch.

David Segui on October 18, 2004 at 5:11 pm

You forgot to add me to that list #109!

Tony Klark on October 18, 2004 at 5:13 pm

I am a free agent next year Chicago!

Come to see me help your team get the all time strikeout total for a team!

Boston Chuck on October 18, 2004 at 5:13 pm

Wow, MarKKK Bellhorn is such a tool, why don’t they pay this stiff ten gazillion dollars to keep sucKKKing and striking out, what a loser. I am so kkkool with my wit! Who’s my daddy!

Scooter on October 18, 2004 at 5:20 pm

Why is Al showing you guys how to throw a changeup? (sobs)That’s my job.

Jesus on October 18, 2004 at 5:37 pm

You’d think I’d be batting a bit better than .050 for the series, huh?

Derek (Overrated) Jeter on October 18, 2004 at 5:48 pm

And you’d think I’d be batting a little bit better than .188 in ther series

Jesus on October 18, 2004 at 5:50 pm

I really can’t hit a curveball, Harris.

Derek (Overrated) Jeter on October 18, 2004 at 5:50 pm

See! I am overrated! I said I was hitting .188 when I am acutally hitting .167! Go figure!

George Steinbrenner on October 18, 2004 at 5:54 pm

Let’s see, where can I find me a .500+ postseason hitter for next year?

Hmm.

Obviously, I’ll have to beg Jim Hendry to trade me Sammy Sosa!

Jim Hendry on October 18, 2004 at 5:57 pm

George,
It will take Mariano Rivera, Matt Suhey (in memory of Walter Payton), and Kenny Lofton. And you’ll have to pick up all that salary.
But we’d have a deal.

I do have Kenny Williams on line 2. He’s offering Garcia, Shingo Takatsu, and Carlos Lee for Sammy.

Kenny Williams on October 18, 2004 at 5:58 pm

I’ll throw in Jason Grilli for Sosa also!

George Steinbrenner on October 18, 2004 at 6:01 pm

Wait!
I’ll throw in Felix Heredia along with Matt Suhey, Rivera and Lofton!

Jim Hendry on October 18, 2004 at 6:02 pm

If you want us to take Heredia, you’ll have to take Paul Bako off our hands and send us Joe Girardi’s corpse to pair with Stone in the TV booth.
And if Girardi’s heading our way, Lieber needs to come here too.

Theo Epstein on October 18, 2004 at 6:03 pm

NOOOOOOO!!!!

Pick up line 3, Jim, hurry!

I’ll give you anyone you want — I have to keep the Gladiator out of Yankee Stadium!

Walt Jocketty on October 18, 2004 at 6:05 pm

Wait up Hendry!
I’ll trade you guys Lassie Edmonds, Jason Isringhausen and his enormous ears, and So (what) Taguchi for Sosa!

Jim Hendry on October 18, 2004 at 6:05 pm

Let’s see: Foulke, Johnny Damon, 2 cases of disposable razors and shaving cream for Damon, Pedro, and Doug Eyechart. Wait, I forgot: ex-Cub Doug Eyechart won the Wild Card for you. Throw in Manny then.

Diamondbacks GM on October 18, 2004 at 6:07 pm

Oh, what? You don’t know my name, either.

Listen up Hendry — Casey Daigle for Sosa! You’ll have to pay 95% of his salary though.

VFW of Lakeview in association with Animal Cruelty Society of Greater Chicago on October 18, 2004 at 6:08 pm

Jim,
We request you ask Walt to take Lassie Edmonds off the table and instead bring Pujols to Chicago.

Paul DePodesta on October 18, 2004 at 6:08 pm

Pick up line 5 Jim!
I’ll give you Hee Seop Choi, Jose Hernandez, David Ross, Hideo Nomo, Mike Venafro and Kazuhisa Ishii!

Andy on October 18, 2004 at 6:08 pm

The wind drag on Posada’s ears prevented him from getting to third on that.

VFW of Lakeview in association with Animal Cruelty Society of Greater Chicago on October 18, 2004 at 6:10 pm

Hendry,
Shoot down DePodesta’s offer. Too many Asians. We fought too many Japs and Koreans, and we don’t like people who view Fido as a delicacy to cheer for them.

Sammy Sosa on October 18, 2004 at 6:10 pm

I wanna go where they got the good spicy tacos, buddy.

Walt Jocketty on October 18, 2004 at 6:10 pm

No # 135!

I will also add Julian Tavarez to the group so the Cubs can have another reliever who has the temper of a 4 year old!

Jennie Finch on October 18, 2004 at 6:11 pm

I love Casey Daigle. Not enough to move, though. I wonder if Chad Tracy has a girlfriend?

Al Davis on October 18, 2004 at 6:12 pm

Sammy, There are plenty of spicy tacos in Oakland.
Hendry, I have a 42-year-old wide receiver for you. Dusty’ll love him.
Hell, you can have Rich Gannon too!

Marlins GM Jeff Loria on October 18, 2004 at 6:13 pm

to # 139 and Jim Hendry: That would be here in Miami. I would give you guys Josias Manzanillo, Nate Bump, Lenny Harris, Logan Kensing and Ben Howard for Sosa

Sammy on October 18, 2004 at 6:16 pm

Fine, Marlins GM Jeff Loria buddy, but I refuse to wear #139.

Theo Epstein on October 18, 2004 at 6:16 pm

I will also throw in the corpses of Ellis Burks, Mike Timlin and Pedro Astacio for Sosa along with the players listed in my first offer.

Derek Jeter on October 18, 2004 at 6:16 pm

Ahem.

I’m not hitting .188 anymore. And by the way, Daigle, I think I’ll fuck your girlfriend tonight, too.

Theo Epstein on October 18, 2004 at 6:20 pm

I will even add Byung-Hyun Kim for Sosa who went to Sungkyunkwan University in Korea!

Byung-Hyun Kim on October 18, 2004 at 6:21 pm

I was the one who went to Sungkyunkwan University you assclown Theo!

Kyle Farnsworth on October 18, 2004 at 6:22 pm

Why am I not in any of these trade talks!?

Now I am going to cry and kick a fan!

The Yankees on October 18, 2004 at 6:23 pm

Looks like we are going to the World Series!

Prepare for the World Series from hell Cub fans!

Jessica Alba on October 18, 2004 at 6:23 pm

WHAT? That’s it, Jeter, we’re so breaking up.

You moran! I am way hotter than Jennie Finch.

World Series from Hell on October 18, 2004 at 6:25 pm

Would that be Yankees/Satanic Fowl or Yankees/Astros?

2000 World Series on October 18, 2004 at 6:26 pm

Funny, I thought I was the World Series from Hell.

The Yankees on October 18, 2004 at 6:27 pm

Yankees/Satanic Fowl.

Every Cub fan on October 18, 2004 at 6:28 pm

Go Astros! Go Astros!

Kevin Millar on October 18, 2004 at 6:28 pm

Time to cowboy up, y’all!

I’m such an assbag.

Chip Caray on October 18, 2004 at 6:30 pm

Can I please announce the NLCS games for Fox? I really miss Craig Biggio. *sobs*

Satan on October 18, 2004 at 6:31 pm

No, Chip, but if my plan works out right, you and Joe Carter will call this World Series from Hell for Fox.

And Channel 32 will be the only station allowed to transmit in Chicago next week!

Khalil Greene on October 18, 2004 at 6:31 pm

To #157:
I thought you liked me the most Chip. You constantly said I was Rookie of the Year .

NAACP on October 18, 2004 at 6:32 pm

We agree, Khalil. It will be racism if you don’t win.

Say what? You’re white?

Julian Tavarez on October 18, 2004 at 6:34 pm

BREAKING NEWS!
I broke my left hand ala Kevin Brown by throwing a tantrum!

John Kerry on October 18, 2004 at 6:36 pm

I am going to flip-flop and start rooting for the Yankees instead of the Red Sox.

John Kerry on October 18, 2004 at 6:38 pm

I am going to flip-flop and start rooting for the Red Sox instead of the Yankees.

Dubya on October 18, 2004 at 6:38 pm

Ima root fer Texas! I’ll be following the game tonight on the internets.

Andy on October 18, 2004 at 6:39 pm

Why is Al Leiter making fun of Trenidad Hubbard?

John Kerry on October 18, 2004 at 6:39 pm

I rooted for the Red Sox before I rooted against them.

Tanyon Sturtze and Flash Gordon warming up in NYY bullpen on October 18, 2004 at 6:40 pm

Get ready for extra innings!

George H.W. Bush on October 18, 2004 at 6:40 pm

Look for me right behind home plate tonight

Barbara Bush on October 18, 2004 at 6:41 pm

I’ll be there, too. I took Pujols to my prom back in ’47.

John Kerry on October 18, 2004 at 6:42 pm

I can’t wait for the World series from Hell!

Go Cards (or Yankees if I decide to flip flop!)

Andy on October 18, 2004 at 6:44 pm

Holy crap, that 13 year old girl who just sang "God Bless America" was hilariously off with the lip synching. Milli Vanilli are safe.

Fox had to stop showing her because she was so far ahead of the song.

GWB on October 18, 2004 at 6:45 pm

Whoops, I wore the wrong jacket!

Jose Lima on October 18, 2004 at 6:47 pm

They should’ve just had me and my wife’s boobs sing God Bless America.

Britney Spears on October 18, 2004 at 6:48 pm

I lip sync better than that 13 yr old girl!

Jesus on October 18, 2004 at 6:51 pm

I think my dad is mad at me or something.

Orlando Cabrera on October 18, 2004 at 6:52 pm

Shut up! That’s my date for after the game, Dolan.

Travis on October 18, 2004 at 6:53 pm

Thank you, Andy. I’m glad someone else noticed it…

Orlander on October 18, 2004 at 6:53 pm

We’re in the Middle School choir together.

John Kerry on October 18, 2004 at 6:56 pm

I will blame this travesty of the lip sync on President Bush. He does not fund proper technology for lip synching in public schools and ballparks!

Red Sox on October 18, 2004 at 7:05 pm

Wait til next year

Miguel Cairo on October 18, 2004 at 7:08 pm

Orlander really knocked me off my feet there. If this was last year, that could lead to a bunch of fun to watch posturing and shoving of Don Zimmer. But this year is boring, so on the 8th!

Cubs watching at home on October 18, 2004 at 7:10 pm

Wow, what the hell did Jeter just do there?

Cubs Coaching Staff on October 18, 2004 at 7:13 pm

To #182:

Beyond us.

Mariano Rivera on October 18, 2004 at 7:26 pm

Who says I look like a fruit bat?

George Ofman on October 18, 2004 at 7:36 pm

The Yankees are LYING about Tom Gordon!! LYING, I tell you!

Fruit Bat on October 18, 2004 at 7:38 pm

Here I come, to go two innings.

Worked last night, right?

Bernie Williams on October 18, 2004 at 7:40 pm

Runners fear me!!!

I have the arm of Bonds!!!

Tied on October 18, 2004 at 7:41 pm

God, I hate both these teams. This game is gonna go longer than Fowl/Asstros, I bet.

Blown Save on October 18, 2004 at 7:41 pm

Me & Rivera are becoming buds

Steinbrenner on October 18, 2004 at 7:42 pm

Dammit! I need the Gladiator out there in CF, stat!

re: 189 on October 18, 2004 at 7:44 pm

Not that I care much about the fruit bat, but with an inherited runner on 3rd and 0 outs, you’re generally going to give up that run.

MarKKK Bellhorn on October 18, 2004 at 7:45 pm

I just killed a rally

Yankee Fan on October 18, 2004 at 7:50 pm

Mariano is automatic!!! Nobody cores when Mo pitches!!!

Jeter is the greatest player of all time!!!

Pat Hughes on October 18, 2004 at 7:51 pm

I core, regardless of who’s pitching

Yankees on October 18, 2004 at 7:54 pm

We’re getting old. And we have some HUGE contracts.

Sammy Sosa on October 18, 2004 at 7:56 pm

What a coincidence, me too! Come get me, George, I’m a perfect fit, buddy!

forklift on October 18, 2004 at 8:06 pm

One problem with Sammy on the Yankee$…

At the beginning of each home game, the fans chant each starting player’s name until they acknowledge the fans.

Sammy would make them chant his name until the 5th inning

Johnny of Nazereth on October 18, 2004 at 8:51 pm

I suck

B.C. on October 18, 2004 at 9:34 pm

Geez, I don’t make a post in a couple days and I still get ripped on and made fun of.

Yikes…

Can somebody please just win this game now?

forklift on October 18, 2004 at 10:01 pm

ait til next day…

Is there a pucker factor in the Bronx yet?

FINALLY on October 18, 2004 at 10:08 pm

Chreee-rist, what a boring ass game.

B.C. on October 18, 2004 at 10:11 pm

Boston wins in the bottom of the 14th.

Cards/Astros now in the bottom of the 9th. No score, Beltran leads off for Houston.

Jeff Kent on October 18, 2004 at 10:27 pm

I may have a pornstache, but I just hit the homer that may have saved you guys from having to watch the Cardinals in the World Series.

You know where to send the pizza, Andy.

Jimmy Anderson on October 18, 2004 at 10:32 pm

Pssh, whatever Pornstache. No pizza for you. That homer would’ve been a standard DP had I been pitching. I OWN the Astros!

Chuck on October 18, 2004 at 10:37 pm

LaRooosa is gonna lose. And the Cubs are gonna regret the Beltran trade and Barrett’s outburst for years and years and years and years and years….

Andy on October 18, 2004 at 10:38 pm

Never before in the course of human events has so much been owed, by so many to a pornstache.

Michael Barrett on October 18, 2004 at 10:40 pm

So my outburst may have cost the Cardinals the pennant? I can live with that.

SMG on October 18, 2004 at 10:41 pm

Doesn’t anyone hate the Astros more than the Cardinals? I know the Cards rivalry is years old, but the Astros were such huge jerks this year. Berkman pretending to get hit in the head? Come on! The Cardinals can lose in the World Series.

Scooter on October 19, 2004 at 1:45 am

Hey Pornstache, want to learn what a brushback pitch is?

Serena on October 19, 2004 at 2:28 am

Too good to be true, from the mlb link: name of Yankee fan = Joseph Maroon

Serena on October 19, 2004 at 2:32 am

#208, Satanic Red Fowl Fans are jerks every year. And either team can lose in the Series.

FOX Announcers on October 19, 2004 at 8:34 am

Never doubt that the Cards could come back and win the NLCS, after all, they are the greatest thing since sliced bread according to us!

Torre Basher on October 19, 2004 at 8:37 am

Doesn’t Torre know that Esteban Loazia has NO SACK?!?! He has nothing. He just folded up like a tent in the 14th inning! What was he doing putting him in the game? And Bernie Williams was dogging it on that cheap flare that Ortiz hit. What a pussy! Bench his ass! He’s useless. What has Bernie Williams ever done for the Yankees? They need to get someone in the outfield WITH an idea of what’s going on, like the guys in the Cubs outfield!
Finally, what’s the deal with this bullpen? Tom Gordon should not ever pitch in another game ever again. He is a big pussy! He sucks. Mariano Rivera has BLOWN TWO SAVES already. Cashman should get on the phone pronto, and order up a closer who could get the job done. For example, there’s a middle-reliever/setup man on Chicago that throws 95 mph and was tough last year for the Cubs. He wants to close. They could get him easy. Cashman hasn’t gotten the players for this team. They’re all pussies. Fire everyone, and bring Stump Merrill back to manage this team!!!!!!

Alex S. Gonzalez on October 19, 2004 at 8:41 am

I was supposed to be traded to Boston! The game wouldn’t of lasted 14 innings if I were the Sox shortstops.

CT on October 19, 2004 at 9:25 am

It would be much more satisfying to see the Cards lose in the NLCS. When they traded for Walker, they made the statement, World Series or bust. Now, if they bust, LaRussa and his merry men are going to go apeshit.

Dave B on October 19, 2004 at 9:44 am

I was at a bar when Pornstache hit the bomb. I was hootin’ it up pretty good when some dumbass said "At least we’re still playing". My replay was "Not much longer. And can I buy you a Stroh’s?". He didn’t find it too funny.

Bernie Dickless has to take another cheap shot at the Cubs in his column in the Post-Dispatch this morning. And my Cardinals fan co-worker called in sick today. Muhahahahaha.

Jeff Kent on October 19, 2004 at 12:42 pm

Remember that home run I hit to win game 5 of the NLCS?

Here’s a picture for your scrapbook

A slight perusal of the laws by which the measures of vindictive and coercive justice are established will discover so many disproportions between crimes and punishments, such capricious distinctions of guilt, and such confusion of remissness and severity as can scarcely be believed to have been produced by public wisdom, sincerely and calmly studious of public happiness. by wsop

So the experience of death is turned into that of the exchange of functionaries, and anything in the natural relationship to death that is not wholly absorbed into the social one is turned over to hygiene. In being seen as no more than the exit of a living creature from the social combine, death has been domesticated… by online casino

There is no theory of a God, of an author of nature, of an origin of the Universe, which is not utterly repugnant to my facilities; which is not (to my feelings) so irrelevant as to make me blush; so misleading as to make me mourn. by world poker tour
