AL Wild Card Game Thread: Rays @ Indians, 5p

Alex Cobb (11-3, 2.76) vs. Danny Salazar (2-3, 3.12).

Last night's Wild Card game got out of control early, as the home Pirates crowd got into Johnny Cueto's head. The Rays seem unflappable however, and they're facing a rookie who began the season in Double-A and rose up on the power of his upper-90's fastball. After watching his team take that Game 163 tiebreaker, we'll see if Cobb can be a Ray of hope.

Hell has frozen over: My Blogger Night 2013 recap is up. (2012's should be finished sometime in 2014.)

I will post PCS Season 6 solutions before the heat-death of the universe.

Probably.

Heat-Death of the Universe was The Flaming Menudos eleventh studio album. It was one long track.

Dusty Baker said...

Come to think of it, a Heat-Death of the Universe/Drums-Space mashup wasn't the best idea for the title track of that album. Lessons learned...

0-0, bottom 2

Delmon Young leadoff HR in the 3rd!

Paul said...

Jesus Colorado's attempted self immolation on that album was a little over the top.

Is it me or has the sound around the plate been off all night? In the first few innings you heard the sound twice, now you hear it late

Steve Sax said...

I love that Guinness wheelchair basketball commercial.

Fred's Brim said...

@Paul that is a little far to go for an album insert

Steve Sax said...

If the Indians can't score here (in the fifth)...

Steve Sax said...

Giambi looks really grizzled.

Steve Sax said...

HORRIBLE inning for the Indians. Pretty gutty there for Cobb to work from two on, none out, to get out of the jam scoreless.

Fred's Brim said...

I see the noffense is not exclusive to us

Steve Sax said...

I like that Johnnie Walker commercial, too

Steve Sax said...

Maybe I should just watch more commercials.

Fred's Brim said...

It's good seeing James Loney in a Rays uniform and not in a Dodgers uniform.

spank said...

Sho nuff Loney grounds into double play as i hit send. Love it.

Another team eliminated and it wasn't the Dodgers! I like this trend!
