Plus the Grandyman is on the Mets.

First hit of the night.

Hmm, looks safe. Out? I guess not overturnable

A well struck - out.

Scoring situation for the Mutts

And, no

And that ends the no no

iPad is getting low, night

To hell with the mets.

That was quick! This really should be 2 out of 3.

So, I had to share this this morning. As I think many here know, I live in Pittsburgh. There is a fundraiser every year that is organized by the media unions in the city so it's basically the writers and photographers for the daily paper and people from the various tv news broadcasts and such. I've been once before and they basically poke fun at local politicians and celebrities and themselves. Anyhow, last night was the dress rehearsal and an organization my fiance works for was the benefactor. There was a bit of a running theme that centered on the Pirates. So the cast included an actor for Hurdle, McCutcheon, Glasnow, and..... Cervelli! The Cervelli stuff was hilarious. Apparently he's quite infamous locally for getting around with the ladies. I honestly had no idea since I only pay casual attention to the Pirates. Anyhow, he played a prominent role including a song titled "Cervelli" to the tune of "That's Amore" which I'll share later. I just thought it was fun that they highlighted Cervelli.

Also, I think folks would have loved the "White Rabbit" satire "Doc Ellis" - obviously focused on his LSD no hitter.

Let's go, GIANTS!!!

They are my NL team. I love Grandy, but I was rooting for the Giants *hard* and am thrilled they won. I really hope they go all the way!

[9] Yes, this. Agreed!

In the AL, I just hope the Tribe sweep the Shit Sox and Texass destroys the Blow Jays.

[11] Frankie Brains and the Ladies! He's had a far more interesting career than anyone thought...

Hamels is shitting the bed.

Impressive outing by Estrada

Now th BJs just pouring it on.

Siddown, Betts

Tied up. Come on Cleveland

Indians with the lead

TBS sounds more excited about an Indian out than that they have the lead.

Tapping out, night all.

andrew with the win vs. the shit sox!!!

Fun game, I had to hear it on the radio. Sox get Porced in the third inning! The Boston radio crew were stunned. "And Rick looks shaken...", but actually they were the ones who seemed to be shaken.

[12] [13] Awesome, seamus. I love that kind of thing.

[23] yeah me too. Here it is. Nothing ground breaking. I just enjoyed the Cervelli bit because as Thelarmis says, it's Frankie Brains!

THAT'S CERVELLI[

Cervelli:
When the moon floats on high and the Bucs break a tie
That's Cevelli.
When the Jumbotron shows
All my romantic prose
That's Cervelli.

Guys will sing, "He's the Latin King, he's the real thing"
As they live vita bella

Women:
Girls will say, "Frankie with a C, You're the one for me
I wish you were my fella."

Cervelli:
When the world seems to shine
like you've had too much wine,
That's Cervelli
When I look in your eyes and I whisper sweet lies
That's Cervelli.

When you walk in a dream
but you know you're not dreaming,
Signores,
Scuzza me, but you see, you can take it from me,
That's Cervelli!

Missing the Texas Toronto game, but it looks like Texas is blowing it again.

5-1 now, yup, blowing it.

Gee, put up a fight, Texas.

Indians grab an early lead.

4-0 lead.

The Tribe may send the Sox home early. Maybe Brady can pinch hit.

Big Popup!

Phew

Aw, Big Choke David Price is out.

Man, I missed a whole lot of fun. I got to listen to a little on the radio, driving to Maine. I'll go to the bar and watch the rest.
David Pricetag. Man. Good job, Cashman!

My little error!!!

Bwahahaha My Little Double Play Ball Error!

[34] Great Minds

[33] David Pricetag - good one!

Enjoy Maine!!! (I know you will...)

[36] ...drink alike!

Papa Johns

half-dozen to bupkis!

half-dozen runs already given up by kershaw and max already...

bases clogged with tribesmen.

l'shana tova!

kershaw is not mad-bum in the postseason...

4-3 LA, Bryce up.

klubot should go out for the 8th.

i get it, but isn't lebron a yankees fan?

Lebrun is a Yankees fan, but Cleveland is in, Yanks aren't

Good job, Corey

My little strikeout!

Phew!

Shutout intact!

Big Flyout

One down

Two down

Three down. Boston on the edge of elimination

Excellent. Very fun. The other people at the bar were fuming, except for a couple of out-of-regioners.

I had an Allegash Black and a Sam Adams Octoberfest, in case you were wondering.

[54] the tears of Shit Sox fans are the nectar of the gods.

RI - did you express joy at the outcome?

I really hope those scumbags get swept and Big Babi has on ofer.

Ooh, I have a Sam Adams Oktoberfest in my beer fridge. Maybe I'll have it now!

Great pitcher's duel on the north side.

Go Giants!!

Whoa. Javier Baez crushed Cueto's 108th pitch. Johnny was dealin'. Bottom of the 8th, so San Fran will have to face a rested Chapman. I'm guessing a steady diet of 103 mph gasballs...

BULLSHIT!!! there's no way he went. he didn't go!!!

awful, blue, awful. you should be fired on the spot! brutally terrible.

leadoff man should be on...

posey with a double. probably woulda tied it...

bollocks. a bullshit fucking first base ump ruined this game by ringing up a batter on a delayed appeal. it wasn't even that close. there's just NO way to mistake that he went around. total fucking horseshit.

nunie hit a ball that probably would've advanced the runner (who would've walked, as it was a full count) to second. he would've scored easily on posey's ringing double. we'd be in extras right now. crap...

larry back as pitching coach. signed a 1-yr deal for 2017.

[55] i liked the sam adams o'fest. i'm digging the highland brewery one now. really wish full sail continued theirs; it was my favorite of this seasonal...

[57] My reaction was appropriate. More smug, knowing contentment than joy. It's not dignified to whoop over Red Sox' losses; that kind of behavior is for Red Sox fans watching the Yankees.

Ah, Dodgers - Nats rained out.

Catchers interference and now a two RBI hit from the pitcher? Maybe it is the Cubs year

And a Pence error

cubs fans pissed about the review. well, the call was correct and chicago is winning.

i'm still pissed about the check swing call from last night. it was total bollocks and the giants would've tied the tied on the groundout and buster's double... : /

nuniE pinch hitting in the 7th.

Howdy y'all. I'm resigned to the Indians. I'm so anti-theo that I simply can't root for the Cubs. Lol...

[70] hey man! yeah, i'm all for the giants, but that's not lookin' so good... i was thinkin' i'd pull for the cubs after that - i really like kris bryant - but the tribe can work too. they're definitely the AL team i'm pulling for...

[71] jays-sox makes me ill. Nice to see our old buddy Chapman again.

[72] me too, my friend!

chapman threw smoke tonight. not lookin' good for the bay area...

Nats living dangerously

How many times can they survive bases loaded?

Indians Red Sox postponed until Monday night.

Dodgers have 11 left on base in scoring position.

Damn

Insurance

1

2

Nats win!

3! Great day in the DC area. Nats and Skins both win.

No hablo Espanio. I think. Oh well, I'll watch the G-men get slaughtered in Green Bay.

[84] The English broadcast is on TBS...

good for you, matt bush!

that was FOUR strikes to Tulo. ump got fooled on the hook that was *clearly* a strike.

it is fucking LOUD in canada.

bottom of the 10th: donaldson, EE, Joey Batflip (asshole)

i can't imagine this one going to 11...

yeah, leadoff double.

doesn't look good...

IBB to EE to face Joey Batflip (asshole).

hey look at that - he complains at a called strike. just like Big Babi.

should've appealed to first on that check swing...

sit the FUCK down, you fucking fuck!!! : )

oh, fuck. pretty much a double play ball, but they couldn't turn it. dropped ball at first, donaldson raced home...safe.

there's a challenge, but it won't do anything. beltran and beltre were swept.

go tribe!

was really hoping matt bush was gonna get outta that...

in hindsight, elvis should've gone to third...or odor should've held onto the ball.

Let's go Nats.

Nats blew a golden opportunity.

That's much better, Nats.

Uh oh, Dodgers mounting a comeback.

Keep sending in those relievers!

Love to get an insurance run or three. ...

Cleveland takes a lead. Send Big Babi home!

Drew sucks, regardless of what uniform he has on.

What a job by Kelley.

Thank you Jason!!!!

Zimmerman!

So the Dodger fans file out.... gotta grin.

1,2

3. Nats win easy.

Now 4-1 Indians

I like Jason Werth.

Go Tribe! Go Giants!

Miller on in the 6th

Tomlin was doing very well. Lifted after midget fucker singled. Our Man Andrew in. 6th inning, pinch hitter.

Full count. That coulda been strike 3...

That most definitely was strike three!!! : )

That's some beard Andrew has grown. Just hit 99 mph. (His left arm, not beard.)

Markus just smoked a ball. But the stoopid monstah kept it from going out. 2nd and 3rd, but two out.

Fat Lisr is up. Please get him out!

Flinch for strike one.

[112] Miller in the 6th. I was gonna say, that's why Francona is a better manager than Giradi. But now, it's like uh-oh. Get Fat Bastard.

Lined out to center. Damn, I thought there were two outs...

Sac fly, 4-2. Markus stayed on second.

Miller looks totally different with beard.

Damn, Poopi gets an rbi

97 low and outside.
86 inside strike.
97 outside.
84 swinging strike.
SIDDOWN, Hanley!!!

Why does Hanley all of a sudden not suck at defense?

And why doesn't tbs show the pitch count?

Quick out for Andrew in the 7th.

Rare walk for tall Andrew. 28 pitchers. Howza bout a DP?!

2 outs. 0-2 count

Struck him out!

7 innings in the books. Andrew threw 35 pitches.

Siddown, My Little Crybaby

This Jose Ramirez player is pretty damn good.

thelarmis! What you going to do if Papi goes yard here??

Closer Cody Allen into face Far Liar.

He's the tying run. Could be his last bat EVER. I really hope he strikes out looking! : )

Go back to practicing.

Ooh, I wish Markus got picked off and Big Babi wouldn't get to swing.

Yeah, walk him

A walk. Huh. Anti-climactic.

Gotta pinch run. No? That's just dumb.

I don't like this...Hanley could easily launch one...C'mon Cleveland!

They're not pinch-running for Papi??

Come on Indians

Tbs only shows the pitch count when they put up that annoying strike zone box.

Crap. 1-run game. Please get outta this, Cody Fucking Allen.

Now comes the pinch runner.

[137] Excruciating..can totally see the Sox coming back to win then win the series..blechhh.....

I hope that's the last time that Fat Fuck ever steps on a baseball field as a player.

Stop it, Jazz!!!

I had to mute it. Too damn loud.

Two strikes...

[141] You know it's the inevitable Sox-Cubs WS..upon which I will be logging off the web for a month..

WAHOO!!!

[144] Sweet Meteor Of Death

Still another inning!

That is NOT inevitable!

12 pitches for Cody Allen. Get that man some Geico runs!!!

Bottom of the ninth. One run lead

Sandy Leon (who?) with the game-tying tater? I'm calling it..

One down

Two down!!

Two down.

STOP IT, OK JAZZ!!!

Careful with the 3-0 pitch. Whew.

One more strike!

Single. Damn.

I hate bottom of the 9th at the fens...

[154] I can't help it!!

Crap, single. Stop with the Shit Sox love, announcers

Of course the midget is up.

Why does every announcer and every broadcast station LOVE the shit sox?! : /

31 pitches so far for Cody Allen

Come on

He's gonna walk him...

Haha, strike two!

[161] I have the Sox radio feed on so it's understandable..who's the TV crew?

Ugh

Hey, Ron Darling - I thought NO ONE in baseball is better at hitting that pitch?

Fuck. Walked him.

1-0 to Aaron fucking Hill

Strike one.

Get him OUT!

It's never easy...

He's gonna walk him to load the bases...

Strike two!

Boom! It's the Year of Cleveland!

Ron Darling is the color guy. Tom Breneman (sp?)

Yes! Go home Big Babi!

Game Ovah!!!

SWEPT!!! BROOMS!!!

Celebrate like crazy on that field, Cleveland!!!

So sorry, announcers. Fuck each and every one of you!

40 pitches for the closer.

Ernie Johnson is the main guy.

[177] thanks

Your next challenge, Cleveland, is to send Joey Batflips home in tears.

[179] I'm all in for the B Jays! O Canada! Anyone but the damn Cubbies.

Good bye. Now I don't care who wins!

Oh, How SWEET IT IS.

[180] Yikes. fuck joey batflip and the blow jays! go tribe in the AL.

Go Giants for everything!!! Mad Bum laboring a little early on. He's a pleasure to watch, especially in the postseason.

[182] Oh, how SWEEP it is!

oh my fucking god. holy fucking shit.

two strikes and jake arrieta just crushed a 3-run homerun off Mad Bum in SF. wow. just wow.

and, also...fuck. : /

50 pitches for mad bum through 2.

3-0 cubs

68 pitches for the mad bum through 3. some hard hits and loud outs...

wow. chapman coming into the 8th w/ 2 runners on, nobody out, and pence up. 1-run game.

i wonder if karma is gonna bite him in the ass. chapman, not pence. though, typing this it's already 0-2.

dammit. pence looked baaaaad in that a-b.

YESSSSSSSS!!!!!!

payback's a bitch. gillaspie with a 2-run triple! posey scored from 1st. my boy, brandon crawford up. man on 3rd, 1 out.

4-3 Giants : )

Oh my! Send him back to the Yanks. So Joe Maddon didn't invent the game after all.

brandon comes through!

5-3. Yay : )

brandon steals second, throw into CF. man on 3rd w/ 1-out...again!

HA! Chapman pulled. Got 1 out. One.

Insane..lefty take his deep on a 102mph pitch.

Aside! The Arizona Fall League starts tomorrow. Who hits more homers Greg Bird or Tim Tebow?

oh, come on, romo. don't walk the leadoff man. for fuck's sake!

[196] I think Kap is pitching for us on Wed.

wow. SF's bullpen is brutal. Romo walked the leadoff guy. Bryant tied the game. i do love that kid and he should totally be the MVP...

[199] Ladies seem to like him too! But we got the Sanchize and he's a Catcher so there!
