10. Did I yet criticize the fact that Kanye's "Black Skinhead" instrumental is selling phones?

    1. I dont think you have.

       1. Alrighty then!
          It's really dumb.

          1. Kanye got a deliciously vicious mention on WWDTM today.

             1. For that or for something else?

                1. They were doing the fake news game, which was about classic jokes coning to real life. Oeter' setup was sonething like "well known jokes, like knock-knock... three guys walk into a bar... kanye west..."

11. Difference between the Cards and the Sawks? Cards know how to use a trimmer.
    Lotta flipping between between the Cards and Mizzou.

    1. I was hoping for Mizzou to shutout SC

       1. I was hoping for them to beat SC. They're not playing like that right now.

          1. that escalated quickly

             1. How do you miss a 24 yd FG?

                1. Wide left, wide right, or short. He chose wide left.

       2. You talking 'bout the Cocks? That's my team!

12. the Wild crushing the Blackhawks tonight.
    huzzah

13. That was the worst HBP I've ever seen.

    1. Did it graze his puffy jersey? Then, no, it was not.

    2. I like Beltran, but...
       Brandon Inge was HBmoreP.

    3. I remember a Brandon Inge XXXL blouse brusher that was pretty bad.

    4. I don't know what you guys are talking about. I've never been known to use hyperbole. Also, Inge was not declared to be HBP on that pitch!

       1. That's what makes his worse: didn't sell it well enough.

14. MHIVGABB

    1. As long as he is not dogging it onbthe basepaths.

    2. Moe Howard played baseball?!

15. It's a Holliday in St. Louis.

16. Ribeyes!

17. Cocks! Cocks! Cocks!
    Cards! Cards! Cards!

18. This ump continues to guess.

19. Is Tazawa japanese for "Schiraldi"?

20. I just looked up Molina's neck tat. It's Japanese for 'Kobe beef.'

21. Cocks win! Cocks win!

22. *sad football face*

23. oh man, I feel sorry for the Mizzou kicker. brutal

24. How long has Saltalamacchia been rocking the Kenny Powers hair style?

    1. Too damn long.

       1. Guess I haven't been paying attention to the important things, I've been too distracted by the beards.

25. Hey, did you guys kniw that Perl Jam has a new album?

    1. Saw them on Fallon last night, so yes.

       1. Waz joak.

          1. Yeah, but it was the first I'd heard about it.

             1. Do you watch the games with the sound off?

                1. Got my phones in listening to LZ III.

                   1. Hey, hey. What can I say?

26. Oooh. COSMOS is coming back for whole new billions.

    1. So Sagan's clone is all grown up now?

       1. There's a large black man scaring kids into learning stuff...

          1. Tyson?

             1. Yes, not 'til next year, though.

             2. Yes, but not the face tat one.

                1. Cool. He was one of the first guys I followed on the Twitters.

                   1. I have a man crush on him.

27. This is the inning Rosenthal should be in.

28. Now THAT is a bad HBP.

29. The Cards have this wrapped up, right? Living on the east coast sucks.

30. Nice play.

    1. Almost got two.

31. I missed whatever the crap just happened.

    1. Lucky you.

32. Again, should have brought rosenthal in to start the inning.

33. Ima need some popcorn if I'm gonna continue watching this.

    1. Popcorn is always the right call.

       1. It's some parmesan, garlic and herb microwave stuff that I bought at Walmart after both Target and Walmart failed to sell me a popcorn popper.

          1. Oy, you're really testing my hypothesis with that option.

          2. wait, there are other flavors of microwave popcorn besides " 'butter' "

             1. I've eaten a lot of "Carbon Flavored", but that's an off-the-label preparation.

                1. that made me laugh

                2. Fewer old maids that way, too.

             2. Two words: bacon flavored

34. Be a hero, Wong.

35. The kid needs to learn how to take that pitch in the fact like a man!

    1. That is also acceptable.

36. That is a start.

37. Eff. Damnit, carpenter.

38. Carlos needs to October up here

39. maybe it was a good thing Cardinal dude didnt steal a base. That measn PSLCB get a chance to win the game.

    1. well, just as a I type that...yeesh

    2. ??

       1. Ah, right.well, PSLMH in the making.

          1. PSL?

             1. Post Season Legend Carlos Beltran

                1. Thanks.

       2. with dude at first Beltran hits a donger to win it
          dude on second Beltran is IBB'd

40. Just a single now.

41. Crax.and Bahston gets away with not using Kaehara or whatever his name is.

    1. Koji Uehara. You fused his first and last names.

       1. Yar. And no pinch hitter?

          1. I felt like I should be surprised there.
             Should I be surprised?

             BoSox manager Pharrell is totally gonna win on that decision because he'll have the right pinch-hitter in the 11th or something and he'll be feted far and wide.

42. Rosenthal really puts some Tabasco on the old pill.

    1. Yah. Boston pretty much conceded that half inning. again, I say, why didn't Matheny bring hom in to start the 8th against the top of the order?

43. Easy Button.png

    Time for the wokoff.

44. C'mon Cards--8 RUN INNING!!!

    1. Unpossible.

       1. I do not think that word means what you think it means.

45. Molina spittin' seeds at the plate.

    1. Whatever works.

46. Allen Craig FTW?

    1. Almost!

47. So let me get this straight...

    Farrell willingly gave up an out in the top of the ninth inning of a tie game in the World Series to keep his reliever in for ONE MORE OUT?!

    1. Geniousity is never understood in its own time.

       1. Good news: Napoli is still available.

    2. Last pitcher to bat in 9th inning or later of tied World Series game- Graeme Lloyd, 1996 Yankees

       — Mark Simon (@msimonespn) October 27, 2013

       
       Worked for the Yankees, so let's try it again!

       1. the box score for the game is interesting because Mariano Rivera was a set up man and John Wetteland got the save.

48. Faster than Molina and game is over.

49. A pinch runner would have scored.

    1. missed it by a nano-Molina.

50. Sweet!

51. HOLY REDACTED

52. Controversy!

53. Wow. That is the most batsh!t crazy ending I've ever seen to a WS game.

54. INTERFERENCE FTW!

55. HAHAHAHAHAAHA. Go Bert yourself, Farrell.

56. Holy balls. Tripped at third.
    Awarded home.

57. ...kay.

58. Middlebrooks obviously tried to trip craig.

59. If he doesn't put his legs up, I don't think he gets called for obstruction. If he doesn't put his legs up, I think he scores easily.

    1. Exactly.

    2. but I think its still interference if his legs are down because he is impeding the baserunner.

       1. Definitely makes it an even-tougher call though.

60. 'have you ever seen a game end like that?'

    ummm, thats probably never happened before

61. I gotta say as soon as the 3B did that I called out to my Dad, sitting right here "He tripped him! He tripped him!" Glad to see blue get it right on a game-ending decision.

    1. Redemption for Joyce?

    2. There's a reason that Jim Joyce consistently gets voted best ump.

       1. I haven't yet seen a good show of Joyce's signal.

          And when some BoSox fans complain, tell them that it gets called as interference 9 times out of 10 in a regular-season game when it's not a deciding run. And the other 1 in ten in Angel Hernandez.

          1. You can see it clearly on the original camera angle.

             1. You're right. I followed the ball with one eye and the runners with the other.
                (I am a chameleon.)

62. Well that's one for the record books. Night, folks.

63. Good game. Unforgetable ending.

64. *rewinds game he wasn't watching*

    Hahahahaha.

65. Craig's in pain.
    I wonder if he wishes that Joyce would have shouted that interference a bit louder.

    1. The ump can call interference and have the runner still be out. If Craig had dogged it or turned around and ran back to third, the umps don't necessarily have to award him the run (See Miguel Tejada, 2003 ALDS).
