ALDS Game 1: Bottom 6

The Sports Chick — Fri, 09 Oct 2009 03:47:04 +0000

10:41 Kendrick leads off the bottom of the 6th and reaches–Youk may have been the victom of another bad call. Francona argues emphatically. Replays make it look like Youkilis had him but the throw from Lowell was undeniably terrible. He’d deserve the error anyway, if you could even do that.

10:42 A perfect bunt on the first pitch Mathis sees, as the Angels switch to small ball, which of course is their traditional strength.

10:44 Aybar grounds out and Youk and Lowell put it away this time. 2 down.

10:45 This is Lester’s last time through the lineup, right? …Right?

10:46 Ellsbury makes SportsCenter recording out #3. On we go. But no more bananas. Cause now we’re sleepy.

ALDS Game 1: Bottom 4

9:54 One pitch, one out, to Lowell. At least it’s speeding up?

9:55 Ooooh, blowing Morales MORE! Seriously, and we never thought we’d say this, where’s Joe Buck when you need him? He’s the expert…

9:56 Once again, it didn’t cause him to NOT ground out.

9:57 Q. “Who is this Marc Fein?”

A. “A Jew. A Jew who talks about baseball. For money.”

9:58 Great play, terrible call–Youk clearly had him, and we’re not being homers. The replays don’t lie. Instead, a Gonzalez error.

10:00 Our bananas foster refuse to foster themselves into flame. Fail.

10:01 Mathis is done, and so are we. Banana time!

ALDS Gm 2: Bottom 3

The Sports Chick — Fri, 09 Oct 2009 02:44:22 +0000

9:27 Mathis provides the first Angels hit, a quick single.

9:28 He flies through the air with the greatest of ease, the daring young man on the flying tra–oh, that’s just Alex Gonzalez, making a relatively routine play. Wow.

9:29 THANKS TBS. Now I know what RISP are. Now explain what “scoring position” means. Or better yet, “runners!”

9:31 Lester has adorable elf ears. That is all the news that’s fit to print.

9:32 Figgins is the third K. Told you they were coming.

9:35 Abreu draws his second walk. Crowd goes nuts. Everyone else is clearly as bored as we are.

9:38 Roommate asks if liveblog has mentioned the bananas foster we are about to make. Crowd goes nuts. Everyone is less bored now.

9:40 Second roommate, who just walked in, admits this is, in fact, kinda boring. And he’s from the Midwest, so he knows from boring.

9:41 The bases are loaded. With two outs. Are we excited yet? We actually can’t tell. John Farrell, aka Future Indians Manager, is chatting with him.

9:42 No grand slams this year? “Well, who on the Angels hits homeruns? Just Guerrero. Oh. There’s Guerrero.” (We have really attentive friends, clearly.)

9:43 That was, perhaps, a bit of a high swing. Moving on now.
