stRangers VS Yankers in Arlington Game 1 ALCS

[Col. Sphinx Drummond]

The Metroplex Rangers put a 3 spot down in the bottom of the first and hold the 3-0 lead in the top of the third.

[Col. Sphinx Drummond]

The Yankers leave two on but don't score in their half of the third.

[Alkie]

LETS go YANkees.
LETS go YANkees.
Fuckin' Girawdi, get dat bum Saysay outta heya awredy. 

[Col. Sphinx Drummond]

End of 3, 3-0 Rangers over Yanks.

[Guinness]

I think the playoffs, and the LCS especially, are formal occasions and teams shouldn't wear their Sunday softball unis.

[Col. Sphinx Drummond]

End of 4, 3-0 Rangers over Yanks.

[Col. Sphinx Drummond]

+1

[Col. Sphinx Drummond]

Michael Young hits a 2 out double scoring 2 runners. 5-0 Rangers over the Yanks.

[Col. Sphinx Drummond]

Sabathia strikes out Hamilton on a called strike three to end the 4th. Rangers 5, Yankees 0.

Hamilton shows a bit of his ass, flicking hit helmet and batting gloves towards the dugout.

[austro]

So, was whoever-it-was out at the plate on that passed ball in the first inning? I didn't think so, but I'm frequently wrong.

[austro]

Words cannot describe how sweet it is to watch Jeeeeeter ground into a DP.

Yes he was out, but only because Cruz made a shitty effort with his slide.

[Col. Sphinx Drummond]

End of 5, 5-0 rangers over yanks.

LETS go YANkees.

Fuckin' Girawdi, get dat bum Saysay outta heya awredy. 

[Col. Sphinx Drummond]

New pitcher for the Yanks, some bum named Moseley. Bottom of the 6th.

[austro]

And an E by ARod. Sweet.

[Col. Sphinx Drummond]

E5 on Alex Wadreguez.

[Alkie]

Words cannot describe how sweet it is to watch Jeeeeeter ground into a DP.

This is crazy talk.

Jetah is a god.  LETS go JEtah.

[Col. Sphinx Drummond]

After 6 innings the Yanks have scored zero runs and the fucking Rangers have scored 5.

[Alkie]

After 6 innings the Yanks have scored zero runs and the fucking Rangers have scored 5.

Yanks always lose Game One.  And win the series.

[Col. Sphinx Drummond]

Robinson Cano, the best 2nd baseman not named Utley, goes yard to put 1 run in the Yanks column.

[Col. Sphinx Drummond]

Yanks always lose Game One.  And win the series.

They only win everything when it counts or when it matters.

[Alkie]

They only win everything when it counts or when it matters.

We, hogars.   We.

[Col. Sphinx Drummond]

We, hogars.   We.

Yeah, youse guys.

[austro]

We, hogars.   We.

Ok, I'm confused: what exactly is a "hogar"?

[Col. Sphinx Drummond]

Ok, I'm confused: what exactly is a "hogar"?

A think it's a house. We who don't live in high rise apartment buildings are lowly house dwellers.

[Col. Sphinx Drummond]

End of 7 and the Yanks only have to make up 4 runs to tie.

[Col. Sphinx Drummond]

And Gardner makes an amazing head first slide at first to be safe on an infield hit! Then the captain hits a double to score the fleet footed Gardner to make it Yanks 2 the Rangers 5. My God, the Yanks only need three to tie!! The Yanks only need three to tie!!! And thats all for Wilson, the bum couldn't make it out of the 8th.

[Col. Sphinx Drummond]

Darrin Oliver in to pitch with a captain on 2nd and no outs. Yanks 2 Rangers 5.

[Alkie]

Ok, I'm confused: what exactly is a "hogar"?

You'll get it eventually.   Ask chuck.

[austro]

Ordinarily, with a three-run lead in the 8th, I'd feel pretty comfortable. But with the Yankees involved, I somehow expect the gods to reach down from Mount Olympius and screw this up.

[austro]

You'll get it eventually.   Ask chuck.

I don't think that will help. This is a man who leaves his mango tree unguarded.

[Col. Sphinx Drummond]

Ordinarily, with a three-run lead in the 8th, I'd feel pretty comfortable. But with the Yankees involved, I somehow expect the gods to reach down from Mount Olympius and screw this up.

Of course. They are the Yanks and the BBGs love the Yanks.

[Alkie]

Ordinarily, with a three-run lead in the 8th, I'd feel pretty comfortable. But with the Yankees involved, I somehow expect the gods to reach down from Mount Olympius and screw this up.

I fully expect my Yankees to come back.   They don't even play baseball in Texas.   Or where ever the Rangers are from.

[Alkie]

I don't think that will help. This is a man who leaves his mango tree unguarded.

What do you expect;  he's Kenyan.

[Col. Sphinx Drummond]

I also knew it would be Jeter who'd get the rally started. That's what a good captain does.

[austro]

I guess that's "Olympus", not "Olympius". Please excuse my ignorance.

[Alkie]

Wait until you silly rednecks see this shit.

LET'S go YANKees.

[Alkie]

MY BOY, A-ROD!

[austro]

Fuck me eight different ways. Young needs to stop that ball.

[Col. Sphinx Drummond]

That's a wrap, it's over.

[Alkie]

I have to say, even rooting for the Yankees as a joke is nauseating.

[Col. Sphinx Drummond]

There is no way the Ranges stop the juggernaut.

[austro]

There is no way the Ranges stop the juggernaut.

But how cool would it be if they did?

[austro]

But how cool would it be if they did?

On the other hand, perhaps they won't.

[Alkie]

But how cool would it be if they did?

You'll never know.

[Col. Sphinx Drummond]

I would love to see the Rangers beat the Yankees but only because I hate the motherfucking Yankees, I'd root for the NL team in the WS regardless.

[rifraft]

LETS go YANkees.
LETS go YANkees.
Fuckin' Girawdi, get dat bum Saysay outta heya awredy. 

Fucking bullpen couldn't hold it.

[Col. Sphinx Drummond]

Too bad for Wilson, he pitch a pretty good game. Maybe Washington should have left him in to finish the 8th.

[Col. Sphinx Drummond]

I have to say, even rooting for the Yankees as a joke is nauseating.

I thought about trying that approach and got sick thinking about it.

[austro]

Well, this is good. I now know that there's no point in watching the Rangers screw this shit up. I'll still derive much joy from watching the Phillies stomp the Yankees' shit.

[Col. Sphinx Drummond]

That JoJo Waddy guy is a managing fool. I can't believe how great he orchestrated the comeback.  Washington is totally over matched.

[Col. Sphinx Drummond]

End of 8 innings and The Yankees kill 6 the Rangers die 5.

[austro]

JoJo Waddy

Excellent. Took me a couple of mental sounding-outs to figure it out, but I eventually got it.

[austro]

Alright. Time to watch the Yankee bullpen melt down.

[austro]

Noe's BBGs just exacted their revenge.

[Col. Sphinx Drummond]

Kinsler walks, and Andy Samberg gets picked off first.

[Col. Sphinx Drummond]

End of 8, Yankees 1,000,000, Rangers 5.

[JaneDoe]

Ok, how the fuck did the Yanks come back?  Was at the homecoming football game (it is Friday night in Tejas).

[Col. Sphinx Drummond]

Yankee magic.

[Col. Sphinx Drummond]

The Ranger lose 6-5

[Ron Brand]

Wasn't just the bullpen. Brutal 8th inning. Brutal.

[austro]

The Ranger lose 6-5

A classic case of snatching defeat from the jaws of victory.

[BudGirl]

Stupid Rangers fans thought they had the game won.  Many of the "fans" up in that part of Texas don't realize that a game's not won until either the time is out or they are out of outs.  Never assume your team will win.  Never.

They all thought that with Wilson and Lee pitching they couldn't lose.  They didn't read Noe's warnings about bullpens.  Fools.

Noe knows.

[Bench]

Too bad for Wilson, he pitch a pretty good game. Maybe Washington should have left him in to finish the 8th.

Or, you know, bring in his best reliever instead of four other guys when the shit is hitting the fan.

[Ron Brand]

That pen is probably a little less shaky than Wright was to start the eighth. The Yankees feast on this sort of thing.

[subnuclear]

The Yankees have some good hitters.

[austro]

The Yankees have some good hitters.

This is true, but the Rangers bullpen isn't exactly lights-out, either. It's a bad matchup that I think is going to be the difference in the series.
