The path of the righteous man
is beset on all sides by the inequities of the selfish and the tyranny of evil men. Blessed is he, who in the name of charity and good will, shepherds the weak through the valley of darkness, for he is truly his brother’s keeper and the finder of lost children. And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who would attempt to poison and destroy my brothers. And you will know my name is the Lord Mike Timlin when I lay my vengeance upon thee.
[This is from Pulp Fiction. And something called the Bible.]

That’s not in the Bible!
You can’t believe everything you hear in a Tarantino film!!!
Ezekiel 25:17 only remotely resembles the Tarantino passage.

But if I can't trust Tarantino, who can I?
Now my faith is shaken…

I’m surprised about taking Paps out. Hopefully his shoulder isn’t the problem…

Yeah, I'm worried about that as well

Even if it is something, Paps would NEVER sit out the playoffs.

If we get out of this
Is Cora pitching the next inning?

Reminder.
The Sox went down 13-6 in game 2 of the ALCS, allowing 7 runs in extra innings. Who won that series, people?

I will watch Timlin lose the game.
I’ve been avoiding watching the last few hours, hoping they’d do better in my absence. Oh well.

And yet he didn’t. Baseball = mass cognitive dissonance

Why hasn't Byrd pitched?
He should be called on in extras.

Even if Timlin gets BJ Upton here
Him vs. Pena is just too bad a matchup to believe. But I like the faith here, man.

Nope.
Nothing we can control. We could’ve controlled how long Beckett pitched.

Yeah, as much as it hurts to say it, but Beckett is to blame here. Bullpen was spotless until Timlin.

Can’t get upset with him about that.

He’s not the ‘hero’ though. He shouldn’t be interviewed. Dan F’n Wheeler should be.

Sho'nough.
3 1/3? F’n balls out from your short reliever.

I liked it better when Timlin was off the roster.

I guess Longoria likes to hang out at the bars until 3 a.m. Maybe he should do it more…
by Randy Booth on Oct 12, 2008 1:39 AM EDT reply actions 0 recs
Here’s a question:
Which third baseman would you rather have on your team, Longoria or David Wright?
by Randy Booth on Oct 12, 2008 1:50 AM EDT reply actions 0 recs
Always been a Wright fan.
But I’m wondering if Longoria might be better long-term, price-wise and defensively (might already be the best defensive 3B in MLB right now?). Wright’s probably more developed/polished as a hitter, which makes sense.

Longoria
He is going to be a beast, as long as he stays healthy. Wright sucks in the playoffs, anyway.

10 games.
Let’s reserve judgement w/r/t Wright in the playoffs.

I got a bigger question:
Why the fuck didn’t we see Paul Byrd there instead of Timlin? I know the result might not have been much different, but we were still trying to win it, right? Doesn’t Byrd give us a better shot.

Crazy idea:
Byrd is going to start game 4.
Wake will reliever Byrd if he gets in trouble.

Still got my rally cap on.
New Playoff rules:
1. Drink liquids in the top of the inning.
2. Do not use the bathroom in the top of the inning.
3. Don’t make multiple threads for one game. That means, no pictures, just links.
4. The only course you can say is “damn” (that inludes you, MerryGoByeBye.)
