CJ Wilson (15-8, 3.35) vs. James Shields (13-15, 5.18).
COMMENTS: 35,474 folks came to Tropicana Field yesterday afternoon (Tampa time) to watch Game 1 of this series, which the Rays lost 5-1. So how many (or few) will be coming back to Catwalk City this afternoon? The agent of Shields would remind one that the Rays' starter is 2-2 in postseason play with a 2.88 ERA, while the Rangers will wade Wilson out to the mound as a postseason virgin. We'll see if Wilson is mercenary (with a mouth?), indeed.

I GET IT! (But you probably knew that.)
I would also have accepted something along the lines of this.
Since when does Aquaman have a beard?
I mean hair on the face, beard. Not the other kind.
I did think about the Falcon reference, especially given his close tie with Cap...I just got too enamored with using Wade as a verb to pass up the Deadpool reference.
Nice call, Josh S.!
Here's why I ask: My son got a birthday card from his grandmother (my MIL) with a bunch of superheroes on it, including Aquaman (whom I have always been underwhelmed by) with a beard.
Is this some twisted attempt to buy Fish Boy some kind of street cred?
Blame the "grim and gritty" Nineties.
Great post, Sax! A+ with extra credit!
@Rbnlaw: Josh is right, the Aquaman reboots in the late 90s/early 00s had him bearded. And he lost his hand for a while, too.
Despite DC's efforts, it's hard to make a guy in an orange top look menacing or gritty.
(Just ask Pablo Sandoval.)
The Hobgoblin was pretty menacing, before they botched the hell out of his identity reveal.
Ned Leeds would agree.
Which Hobgoblin, Josh S.?
Thanks for the info, Sax. I always thought a guy who talks to fish had limited appeal, myself.
Original flavor, unrevealed identity version, Mr. F.
Not that Jack O'Lantern BS.
*throws random beanball at ^
CJ Wilson is sort of good looking
(I'm allowed to do that just for the profuse boobs commentary last night)
@rbnlaw 10:16a: Hey, Aquaman can swim kinda fast, too.
And he makes a mean Spider Roll.
@Spanky: *charges mound with arms flailing*
The Rays seem as uninterested in winning as their fans.
*throws random beanball at ^
@rbn: Or, about as interested as we are in discussing the game.
HA HA! Zito got left off the NLDS roster in favor of Aaron "I have to poop, but I'll take my at-bat first" Rowand. You're telling me Bochy couldn't even use him out of the pen?
*dies laughing*
Mister Misty May just got plunked for the second time.
That Kinsler fella is good at baseballing.
Michael Young, bishes.
Audible "Fuck yeah"s from the Rangers dugout on their radio broadcast.
Maddon tossed.
@Josh: Word.
@Spanktopolis:
Why you little. . .
*sends scathing look while on the way to first, ala Mike Piazza*
For the record, I have nothing against the Rays, but I tend to root against the AL East.
Micheal Young is also good at baseballing.
Damn. I hate everything about Texas, including its baseball squadron. Bye bye Rays, thanks for playing.
Clearly, it is not 2008 all over again.
Rays suck.
Shit, the rangers are rolling the rays!
Anyone else having a tough time caring about this shit?
Happy for the Rangers and their fans. This has been a long time coming.
*sighs at the memories of sitting through countless games when the team truly sucked.
*Throws random beantrout at ^
^Always one to try to provoke a fight. I'm so not going there today.
@rbn: Even the Rangers radio guys don't seem all that excited.
Elvis did not leave the building.
Just one hit for the Rays? Didn't they win their division and shit?
@Spank
I didn't mean that to sound so harsh. I'm just having a really bad day :(
Yep, this game sure is still on.
@ MB
That's O.K. It is kinda true
@ Everyone
I'm just bored and lame as fuck
They were random though HaHa!
Dunzo. Movin' on up to the punless Pavano thread.
Tejas is on the brink of madness
