I don't think I could utter the words

Go White Sox, unless held at gunpoint, but if it keeps the Royals out of last all is well. It doesn’t matter Twins/Sox are both going to be ousted in the first round anyway.

Leadoff walk, eh

It feels so wrong to want them to win.

I hates them.

So why is everyone rooting for the White Sox?

I know that the Twins are over-praised for playing the game the right way, but don’t we feel a kinship with them (horrible owner, relatively small payroll, small players in free agency, etc.)?

And the White Sox are responsible for (a) He gone, (b) the Ligues, © Ozzie.

Go Tigers and Go Twins.

It's an obscure desire

to have actually beaten a team in our own division. Pride, honor, whatever. I want it.

The rain delay worked greatly in my favor:

My internet was down all afternoon, so I thought I’d have to miss this game entirely.

It came back just a bit ago, so I don’t have to miss much. Go White Sox, but ONLY today.

This really is a brutal decision...

I think it’s clear that we need to be pulling for the Sox today, and Twins tomorrow. Obviously we want to stay out of last place, but as nauseating as the “right way” boys are, in an ideal world A.J. Pierzynski never sees a postseason game again.

Seriously, A.J., kill yourself.

I can't root for the White Sox

I’ll take a tie for 4th place. The Sox must go down. I wouldn’t mind them winning today and losing tomorrow, but I don’t want to have to rely on the Twins.

This is just my opinion. I could easily be wrong.

I hear you.

It’s tough. When the Tigers tied it up, I was like, “yeahhnnnnooooummm.”

They're Not?

I used to be an A's fan until they left town and got good.

Heimlich maneuver....quick!

This is just my opinion. I could easily be wrong.

probably will be changed to one

he slightly bobbled the ball, but the real problem was the high throw

by Freneau on Sep 29, 2008 6:55 PM EDT up reply actions  

Leyland is clearly taking this game seriously

Bringing in the team’s best starter in relief.

This is just my opinion. I could easily be wrong.

by Scott McKinney on Sep 29, 2008 7:08 PM EDT reply actions  

argh,

throw a pitch. This PA has been at 1-1 FOREVER

This inning is going to hell for the Tigers

Most odd SB Nation ad on this site yet

Lane Bryant lingerie. Do we fit their target demographic?

This is just my opinion. I could easily be wrong.

by Scott McKinney on Sep 29, 2008 7:17 PM EDT reply actions  

And then I just saw one for Bank of America

which doesn’t exist anymore.

This is just my opinion. I could easily be wrong.

I really like it

when NESN shows commercials for MA and Conn companies…while I’m in Maine. Yep, time to drive to Danbury to get some shitty furniture!

My friend is from around that area

and we drove through that area on the way to a tourney. He had a lot of fun pointing out all of the adult industry billboards.

my cable box if f’ing resetting at the worst possible time

Wrong

your cable box resetting at the worst possible time would be if the Royals were in a game to clinch a playoff berth. :)

you can, umm...

put that on the board

or something

by Freneau on Sep 29, 2008 7:25 PM EDT reply actions  

4th place, baby.

Thank you Alexei, you no-chinned, weird-faced bastard.

by self loather on Sep 29, 2008 7:26 PM EDT reply actions  

Well, there's no way we can lose now

After all, a White Sox meltdown here would be funny, and a one game playoff should be exciting.

We're Royals Fans

We can always find a way to lose.

I hate the ChiSox but we're in 4th!1!!11!

Don't forget to send your broken maples to the US Forest Service.
