Cliff Lee (12-9, 3.18) vs. David Price (19-6, 2.72).
COMMENTS: Yankees! Phillies! Some other team! Will the Rays or Rangers round out baseball's Final Four? Unfortunately, it appears we're headed for another Yankees-Phillies World Series — this according to a source I just pulled out my ass. This same source also says I would like the Rays to beat the Rangers. I have just confirmed this with myself.
Unfortunately, tonight's game will be our only baseball until Friday, so let's hope it goes on like that epic John Isner-Nicolas Mahut Wimbledon set that went 138 games earlier this year. They shoot horses, don't they?

Rangers ride Cliff Lee to a win here. Then he won't be available until Game 3. Whoops.
(Or genius, since the first two games would be in Arlington and he's usually worse there.)
Cliff Lee? Roy Halladay? CC fucking Sabathia? Who needs those clowns?
The Dodgers had ElyPadillaElbertLinkHaegerandabuchofotheralsoransneverwasesandassortedrubberarms
as their "go to" guy.
Blogger hates me.
FUCK YOU GNATS AND PHILS
Oh! Wrong Game
Well god damn, here's the GT. I was stuck in that other room.
@Spanky
That statement is always topical no matter what thread or what game is going on.
MAKE IT START!!!! Me need sports.
FUCK THE FUCKING YANKEES!
Needed to be said.
Agree w Mr C, save some hate for the Yankmes. Evil incarnate, I tells ya.
And yet, I'd cheer for them over the Giants any day of the week and twice on Sundays.
Still kinda hoping the winner of this game knocks off the Yanks.
(GASPS)
Caca eating Yanks!
--King George III
@MR. F
No doubt. The Yanks have won so goddamn many that one more isn't anything to get worked up over.
Still, fuck those guys with a rusty soup ladle.
^ Sideways
^Dry and
Well how else would you use a rusty ladle for fucking?

@FB
I thought you had re-committed to hating the Angels more. I'm not seeing this out of you yet. You get a gentleman's "C" on your interim progress report, mainly because I don't want your poor grades to cause you to have to serve in Vietnam.
Dry hepatitis?
*Looks behind the bar to see if FB passed out on the floor.
@MLASF
Duly noted.
I'm just looking forward to tonight's hockey game.
What's the hockey haps tonight? Kings opener? What time and what bat channel?
*relishes thought of more sports watching versus chore doing*
I heard they removed the tarps at the Trop for tonight so there could be extra empty seats for Price to tweet about.
Will D Hernandez tweet about the attendance announcement vs actual attendance?
Nah, he's in full Schulmania mode now.
Puck drops at 7:30, I'm assuming on FSWest.
Dylan Hernandez is busy eating some Rocky Mountain oysters.
Is Dylan in love with Hank Schulman?
Birds of a feather and all that.
i kinda think the rays would be the yankees. just a gut feeling. or wishful thinking.
beer Beer BEER!!!
Y'all ready for this?
Pulling the ripcord on the workday now. See y'all on the fun side of the commute.
Might want to watch that speedy, lead runner. Preventing a run is better than an out at first, in my book.
This game's kinda nutty so far.
Did somebody fart up in dis bish?
Commute status: over
Beer status: arrogant bastard ale
@db
It's delicious, and it's apt!
And when you guys get together, it's Double Bastard!
Cliff's starting to pitch like he would if the Dodgers signed him.
NO MORE RETIREMENT-CHALLENGED WHITE GUY COMMERCIALS!!!
I do like that double bastard, but I can rarely find it.
Epale everyone!
Surly factor:
+50 opening day Venezuelan Winter baseball
+100 opening day in Maracaibo
-50 Aguilas lost to Cardenales 5-1
-75 we lost in part of the group effort towards ineptitude, because a Phillies minor leaguer, who broke a record for their minor league system of most hits in consecutive days, made THREE errors, which included: forgetting there was one out instead of two so he caught the ball and started running to the dugout, then dropping the ball in a harmless grounder...he also struck out with RISP and GIDP in the next at-bat
WHAT'S WRONG WITH MY BASEBALL TEAMS? AM I THE BAD LUCK CHARM?
if our American manager writes him in for tomorrow, I'm gonna get nasty in English.
This game is rather exciting.
*falls asleep*
"I'm gonna get nasty in English"
Instant classic phrase.
Sounds like you had one hell of a good time Karina.
Is there going to be a Brown/Whitman debate thread?
Epale, karina! As we always should, let's blame the Phillies for your surliness.

What a weird series...
@Spanky
This was not designated as a "Mega" or "Ultra" thread, so I'm scared to mention other activities or events without permission from the Sons. There could be consequences and repercussions.
@ DB
That is why i asked. I did not want to step on anybodies toes or get all political up in dis bish.
@Mr C I don't know if you know but the Phillies GM married a girl whose family owns Aguilas SO both teams have "deep bonds of cooperation".
There's also the fact they use the same colors of the Giants in the uniform.

@Spanky in my top 5 things to do in my life is to watch baseball live at my dearest Luis Aparicio, no matter what.
In a side note, CarGo was at the stadium today, signing autographs and taking pictures with children, like the nice guy he is. He also threw the first pitch :)
Tu y tu pinche GarGo Karina :)
That's good Spanky....do no harm first. Orel may break out some Green Party type shit so fast we wouldn't know what hit us.
I did not know that. (the ownership part)
I thought Orel rolled Anti-Masonic.
SoSG Orel seemed more Peace and Freedom to me.
I can understand not getting a speedster like Vlad at second.
@Mr C - You're thinking of AC. Which makes the SoSG Christmas party much more awkward since Lasorda is in league with the Free Masons.
Vlad scores from second on a double play ball. What the hell is going on?
These are two bizarre baseball teams.
Wait, which son votes Whig, then?
Bizarre = poor
Pedro was a Tea Party member so he got kicked out.
I was all SF fan on that hit by Crawford - I thought it was going out.
Sax still goes Federalist. He does not like to give up.
What party did Mary Carey run under? That's Sax all the way.
D.D. votes Whig. Or he wears one.I forget.
Sadly, Mary Carey ran as an independent candidate.
Lee looks like a happy camper
This place went quiet.
This thing looks done.
Tejas is going to win
@Mr LASF I'm reading but I have no idea what you were joking about. I think you said Sax is a guy who loves to play dressed up as a Civil War soldier and pretends to kill "Yankees"
@karina
American politics, but really old and obscure American politics.
Specifically, the Federalists and Anti-federalists were the first significant political divisions in the US, but they haven't been around since around 1800.
Viva Tejas!
I'll give Tejas props for their first series win.
Thanks Mr C, one of the reasons I love this place:I always learn something!
Let's go, Rangers!
(don't tell my dad I said that)
Your secret's safe with us, K.
What Mr C said. Federalists fell apart specifically after the War of 1812 when they tried to negotiate a backdoor deal with the British.
@mlasf
Losing six elections in a row will do that to a political party.
Rangers win!
They weren't doing so hot, but once word spread that they were contemplating succession, that was the kicker.
RT @molly_knight
That first unearthed miner looked to be hygienically superior to 95% of the guys I go out with.
I strangely believe that.
Hey, at least they had John Adams. The Anti-Masonics Got stuck with Thurlow Weed.
M. Knight Slamathon!
I was thinking: Say Texas and (God forbid) Frisco make it to the World Series. Wouldn't the Jints' one weapon, their stellar pitching, be negated by Texas having the one guy who knows all their pitchers better than they know themselves?
I would laugh for a year if Bengie Molina was the World Series MVP.
I suppose he doesn't know Lopez or Ramirez, but still, stranger things have happened.
That rig they are using to bring up the miners looks primitive as fuck.
i know its early but the kings have looked unimpressive. It's a little disappointing.
So the Kings will have 23 seconds of a power play? Yippee.
Shit's working though.
FINALLY!!
Took them long enough.
FINALLY X2!!!!
I DON'T KNOW HOW TO FEEL JUST NOW
The mine rescue story is an amazing one.
empty netter!!
MOAR GOALZ
I can't believe so many children are trapped in Chile!
Neeebs must be happy.
Or drunk.
Or both.
Neeebs is happy for Chile and for the Kings.
