Running 2015 MLB Postseason thread, aka: Will Mark Buehrle make an appearance?

Lots of parallels between the 2010 and 2015 Rangers. In both ALDSs the road team won every game. Hamels is their Cliff Lee this time.

And Derek Holland continues to be a mental midget and immature goofball. The ill wind was howling the minute he toed the rubber.

 

How the hell does Wood pitch to Cespedes?? Game is still w/in reach and there's no one even warming up? Jeez I loved Donny B as a Yankee and even more as Dodger M....

 

Loving seeing Dusty Baker and Pedro on the pregame set. Those guys know baseball and explain things quite well for lay viewers.

 

A few observations in a bizarre and wild 24 hours.......

Something about the Royals and being down 4 runs in the 8th inning of an elimination game.....
I would love to be in any of the bars in and around Wrigley Field for the 4-5 hours leading up to first pitch.......
Someone will need to explain why Toronto wasted David Price yesterday.........
If I'm Mattingly, I sacrifice Utley to the Gods.......let him get whacked and get it the hell over with.........

 

I would rather gouge both eyes out with a rusty fork and then have Everclear poured into the gaping wounds left behind.

Fifty thousand frat bro idiot douche bags who couldn't distinguish Kris Bryant from Ronnie Woo Woo if you spotted them their races.

 

Wow.
I bow in your general direction.
Still.......

 

My wife and I refer to the influx of ignorant/sloshed fans come playoff time (or clinching time) as "amateur hour." The Wrigley/Cubs experience (I've done it once) strikes me as perpetual amateur hour.

 

FTFY

Last time the Cubbies were in the playoffs, Mrs. Fly and I were in Chicago on the Saturday night they were swept by the Dodgers in '07. We had gotten to Piece (brewpub/pizza joint) late in the game and all the TVs were on with the locals bemoaning every pitch. It was GLORIOUS!!!

Oh, and when the game was done, the entertainment started - live band karaoke. It, too, was glorious!

 

You got into Piece at that time of the evening? Wow. You must know someone.

 

While we do know "people" in the brewing world, it was pure luck getting in. There was a table open right in front of the stage. We found out about 30 minutes after why (see glorious #2 above).

 

Thought you loved frat bros?

 

Just like New Year's Eve and St Patty's day for drinkers.
