World Series Game 5 Thread, 4:30p

Tim Lincecum (3-1, 2.79) vs. Cliff Lee (3-1, 2.51).

COMMENTS: It's all over, folks. Nothing to see here. Even if Cliff Lee manages to overcome the — who knew? — Giants' offensive juggernaut, there's no way the Rangers, suddenly weak as kittens, win two at Pac Bell, then SBC, now AT&T Park. The only thing left to contemplate is if the Giants will dominate the NL West for years to come. Lincecum/Cain/Bumgarner (all drafted by Dick Tidrow) are a triumvirate of tossing that seems destined to give us fits. (Not to mention the team can use its World Series $$$ to sign a free-agent slugger — Jayson Werth, anyone?) Add to that our Neverending Divorce Story, and, well, I need a drink.

Cain has beaten us once. ONCE.

Just because everybody laid down for him in the postseason doesn't make him any more of a threat.

In fact, most of those guys run hot and cold against us. If the Dodgers don't spend a second consecutive season with their heads up their asses, there shouldn't be too much to worry about.

Oh, and...

Wait, I guess October has now ended. Thanks to FOX, the Fall Classic now extends into Spring.

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

I say we TP Steve Mason's house.

karina said...

@Dusty Baker it's inconvenient for the bunch of us who follow winter baseball. It's hard to watch playoff games while listening another game on the radio...

karina said...

Epale everyone!

Josh, you looked GREAT in your Marty McFly costume. How was trick or treating for Luke?

Wesley Vento said...

HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE

spank said...

I sense a lack of HATE in some of you. It's quite disturbing. Are we mice or men and women? I'll die with my GNAT HATE!

FUCK FRISCO!

Fred's Brim said...

Orel, I think you meant "triumvirate of tossers"

Paul said...

Don't do it Marty!!!!

Josh S. said...

Epale, karina!

He seemed to like it. We only went to about 4 houses. It was kind of a trial run.

Kyle Baker said...

They are all tossers, FB.

Scrotch? Is that a portmanteau?

spank said...

Yes,Mr.F.

spank said...

Yes,Mr.F.

MR.F said...

I will incorporate that into my lexicon.

spank said...

That second comment was on purpose.

@Josh Luke is the cutest boy!. Also, it is very nice you chose Marty McFly in the 25th anniversary of the film release :)

spank said...

Come on Rangers. Get your shit together.

Fuck le freak

FF!

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

Everybody says something in the lineup except for Vlad and Bengie.

karen said...

Timmeh's hair looks oilier than usaul.

Fuck Timmeh

DIEGNATSDIE

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

McCarver would love it because he is a freaky freak.

karen said...

What kind of person would be proud to be called "The Freak"??

karina said...

what do you mean, Czar?

Fred's Brim said...

that song was terrible

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

They do a thing where everybody in the starting lineup says a little tidbit about themselves (nickname, favorite player growing up, etc). The only ones to not say anything were Vlad and Bengie.

Fred's Brim said...

I am positive that is Jason Schmidt in that Southwest.com commercial.

Fred's Brim said...

Has Vlade ever learned to speak English? Wasn't that the thing with him when he was with Anahind?

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

I always hear that Vlad steadfastly refuses to learn English. Bengie's lack of words baffles me though.

spank said...

(in James Carter voice)

Come on LEE

Fred's Brim said...

maybe he was eating a hamburger while they shot that?
and a ham

Fred's Brim said...

when will it come out that several more of these Giants were using HGH? The resurgence of Aubrey Huff and Pat Burrell (especially after was cooked in Tampa) just seems suspicious to me

spank said...

Rosenthal reminds me of Pee Wee Herman

MR.F said...

Muy suspicious. But I will not be bitterly and blindly accuse them of trying to enhance their performance. Of course, if it comes out that they did, I will have a very schaden kind of freude.

karen said...

Absolutley Spanky! I've been trying to figure out who he looks like!

MR.F said...

Also, now that you mention, I agree with Karen. He is a real life Pee Wee Herman.

Fred's Brim said...

either way, check his palms before you shake his hand

spank said...

And don't sit in front of him in a movie theatre.

Fred's Brim said...

O-dog would have had that

Josh S. said...

OK, folks, the Giants aren't going to win the World Series. But if, by some miracle, they do, the best course of action is to not give a shit. Giants fans will go insane if they try to hold this over us and our reaction is a collective "Yeah? And?".

spank said...

The Reflex- Duran Duran

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

Nice snag, Cliff. That'll get ya an extra half a mill from New York.

Fred's Brim said...

nice catch
that looked like it was way by him

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

That's as close as we'll get to seeing a Dodger in the World Series.

karen said...

Josh is right. We should just not give a damn if the unthinkable happens.

karen said...

PeeWee Herman with long, dirty hair

spank said...

HOLY SHIT! I can't stop laughing. WTF!

spank said...

FUCK FRISCO AND HIPPIE HERMAN!

MR.F said...

LOL. Nice one, Karen.

karen said...

Epale Meanie!!

We've missed you around these parts!

spank said...

MeanieBreanie Lives! HaHa

MeanieBreanie said...

I've missed you guys too! It's good to be back.

MR.F said...

'sup Meanie!

karen said...

PeeWee hasn't given up a hit yet. Time for the Ranger bats to come alive

DIEGNATSDIE

MeanieBreanie said...

Back in da hood everyone. Good to be back amongst the peeps.

For better or worse this blog has rubbed off. I found myself at an upscale restaurant with friends. We were having drinks and apps at the bar. This guy was sitting next to me for game 2. I was explaining MSB's, Oyster Pubes, UJTD, etc. I knew he thought I was crazy but apparently not, he was loving it and we were both rooting against those Gnats.

karina said...

I see Timmah is throwing a no hit-no run

Paul said...

Giants fans your team won the world series?

Pssssh that is soooo 80s.

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

Suck on that, og kush.

spank said...

Here we go. Score some runs!

karen said...

No no-no for you fucker

karina said...

Hello Meanie! how was new Orleans?

Nostradamus said...

Back from the working world! Epale, boys and girls!

karen said...

It worked Karina!!

spank said...

Give the ball to Mike Hart DAMMIT.

Oh! Wrong thread.

Paul said...

Kill the stoner!!'

karen said...

Epale MrC--Get comfy and let the HATE flow

MeanieBreanie said...

Epale Mr. C, Congrats on kicking my ass :(

@Karina
Had a wonderful time. Spent a lot of time in the Uptown area, The Quarter and spent a night at a friends weekend house on the coast doing some fishing. It was a blast. What's new with you?

spank said...

Come on Nellie

Nostradamus said...

Hi, Karen! hate DefCon 3 in full effect!

Nostradamus said...

Hey, MB.

It was Green-Ellis coming back to haunt you, you know.

MeanieBreanie said...

Mr. C, the story of my life. I would have never dropped him but a report was put out saying he was being moved to a backup role. That's why he was dropped. Then my hyped up players like the alleged rapist roll over and die.

(CRIES)

spank said...

I think you and I should go kick the rapists in the bootay,Meanie. He did me wrong.

Josh S. said...

Annnd they get yet another break.

karina said...

Epale, Mr C!

Meaniebreanie, I'm afraid I had a nice quiet weekend, I'm studying for my TOEFL.

MeanieBreanie said...

Spank, I'm in. Let's take the alleged rapist out and while we're at it Joe Suck as well.....MB is feeling saucy and surly tonight.

Nostradamus said...

Hi, K!

HaHa. Let's take care of the Pee Wee Hermans', too.


FUCK FRISCO AND HIPPIE HERMAN

karen said...

FUCK YOU JOE SUCK

MeanieBreanie said...

Spank, I will be happy to strangle him with his little bow tie.

Fred's Brim said...

I think Timmeh looks more like Pee-Wee's contemporary Emo Phillips

Kyle Baker said...

Wash yer hair, Timmeh!!!!

spank said...

I have not heard of Emo Phillips in a long time. Timmeh can be like their bastard child.

Kyle Baker said...

I guess your comments answer my question.

Kyle Baker said...

I'm going to donkey punch a nun if they keep playing .38 Special on this radio broadcast between innings.

Nostradamus said...

@Dusty

I went all Steiner on it.

Nostradamus said...

Too easy. Gotta get the Dirty Hippie out of there.

Kyle Baker said...

@ Mr C

Oh, do you want me to leave?

Nostradamus said...

Capital D, Dusty. If I didn't specify, I'd have to join you un exile, as you well know.

Nostradamus said...

Stop already!

spank said...

Come on LEE . Don't fuck around Man

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

Hey, it's that guy Jon Heyman hates.

spank said...

I am going to make sweet, sweet love to my 2 new running backs.

Is it time to ask my doctor about nuedexta?

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

It's as quiet as death in Arlington.

Nostradamus said...

I'm hiding under my covers for the remainder of the game.

NicJ said...

and thats why you never by any means necessary root for the Gints.

(love for baseball falls off)

MR.F said...

NicJ speaks the truth.

spank said...

Anybody have the words to that BoysIIMen song?

karen said...

Do we throw up now or after the game?

Nostradamus said...

Operation Total Fucking Indifference can begin tomorrow.

Right now I am livid.

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

It's so hard to say goodbye to yesterday?

MR.F said...

NUEDEXTA NUEDEXTA NUEDEXTA

NicJ said...

Motownphilly?

Nostradamus said...

@Karen

yes.

Josh S. said...

Heckuva job, Cliffy.

MeanieBreanie said...

@Karen
I'm throwing up now. Between the Longhorns, Cowboys, and the Rangers I'm about ready to leave the State.

(cries hysterically)

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

It's a good thing I have plenty of candy left from yesterday.

You're with me, Snickers.

Nostradamus said...

@MB

There's…TCU, I guess.

(small comfort)

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

Mini-hooray for Cruz.

Josh S. said...

MeanieBreanie said...

Could we be on the brink of a Ranger Rally?

*saying a little prayer

Mr. C - small comfort is right.

spank said...

@ Mlasf

You're like Sybill right now.

Josh S. said...

I want to eat these leftover Halloween cupcakes, but they're so depressingly orange.

karina said...

Almost everything thatthe Rangers did bad, it's Washington's fault.

spank said...

Free for all for my leftover candy. I'll go into a coma if I eat that shit.

MeanieBreanie said...

Mr. C
You've currently got me at 121 to 101. Usually having more than 100 pts counts for a win.

(cries even more)

The gnats aren't winning this, the Rangers are giving it to them.

Yeah, that makes me feel better.

@MB

I've drawn some really strong weeks from my opponents this year. I've still got the most Points Against in the league by a fair bit. I've really had to pour on the points to win.

Fred's Brim said...

it has been a really long fall for FB:
The Dodgers sucked donkeyass.
My football teams, both real and fantasy, are a combined 4-27.
And now the VaGiants are about to win the World Series.
What next will happen to continue this misery?

NicJ said...

Luckily the dodgers are too poor for Cliff Lee. That fool cant even beat the gints.

NicJ said...

i call dibs on

spank said...

We got 6 outs to score 3 runs,Peeps. Can we do this? HELLS YEAH!

FOE FUCKS SAKE,RANGERS.SCORE!

Paul said...

The Rangers scored a run.

Clap clap clap clap.

NicJ said...

the dodgers official twitter feed posting a picture of Kershaw watching game 5 isnt doing anything to help my rage.

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

Four outs away from Armageddon.

MeanieBreanie said...

@FB - the misery is shared. It's time for Slivovitz shots.

@Mr. C - "I've really had to pour on the points to win". You're doing a damn good job of it.

when we've finished the bottle please clonk me over the head with it

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

Chocolate at the ready.

Fred's Brim said...

at least the McRib is back

Nostradamus said...

@MB

Sorry, I won't rub it in. Your lads put up a good fight.

*crawls back under the covers*

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

I had the McRib for the first time in my life on Saturday. It was good, but not worth the hype.

MeanieBreanie said...

@FB - it's a pact. We each down a bottle and then clonk each other over the head.

Fred's Brim said...

i've never had one, and i've had a decent share of MickeyDs in my life.
Maybe i will give it a try.

I have had only one Shamrock Shake

karen said...

I'm giving thanks to the baseball gods that we are not having to witness this at phone booth park.



(whimpers and hugs blanky)

Paul said...

What kind of world did I bring my son into?

Fuck!

MeanieBreanie said...

@Mr. C
I'm just giving you a hard time. I'm surly and it's coming out in a variety of ways.

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

I never have had a shamrock shake. Even though there's no actual mint in it I just am not attracted to the green and the clovers.

#lakerpride

Paul said...

I might try to kill myself by eating a mcrib.

The chances are 1 out of 2.

Fred's Brim said...

@MB that'll have to be a well-timed clonking

and please don't pussy-foot your clonking. I couldn't take it if you don't knock me out

Fred's Brim said...

@Paul did you recently pop out a kid?

spank said...

Do you need a Knofe to eat a McRob?

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

The worst part of this is that it will only inspire Frank and Ned to pursue over-the-hill veterans.

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

Well, next to worst part. The whole Giants winning is pretty awful.

Paul said...

All I can say is having to watch the giants play a month after the Dodgers played their last game is hell.

No iPhone I don't want to capatilze hell so stop making it he'll!!!

Nostradamus said...

@Paul

At least for him, it will be like a Bris. He won't remember the horror.

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

@Mr C - All he'll know is that a man with a funny beard made his daddy cringe.

Paul said...

@FB

Yeah a little boy. He is about a month and cries a lot. I assume it is because of this bullshit.


Cute kid.

spank said...

This really sucks

karina said...

it ain't over 'till it's over, ladies and gents. Having said, I'm looking forward for a Brian Wilson meltdown.

MR.F said...

Fuck maybe I should get a McRib to try to cheer myself or up.... or give myself a heart attack.

karina said...

Well, last night I had a stomach ache that lasted 'till this mid-morning. I have a stomach ache now,

:_(

karina said...

^that

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

Nice work there, NA.

Nice work too, Press 2 for Espanol.

Nostradamus said...

I don't like this much.

NicJ said...

i hate you dodgers.

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

I wonder how many LAT writers will blame Broxton for this.

Nostradamus said...

Media feed off.

I protest.

spank said...

*scotches*

*spits*

*cries*

Kyle Baker said...

Hope you're happy, Josh!


[just Joshing you]

NicJ said...

baseball is dead to me

Nostradamus said...

Not like home field made a lick of difference, in the end.

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

Well fuck this fucking fuck.

karina said...

Who else is crying?

NicJ said...

THANKS A LOT JOSH!!!
