ALCS/The Office Open Thread
Since the RR contingent will probably be split right down the middle, this thread goes for both events. The Sweet Baby Rays are leading the BoSox 2-0 after 2 innings, and B.J. Upton is a freaking stud. Talk about it here, we might have a World Series matchup by the end of tonight. Go Reds Rays!

Two-run homer for Carlos Pena
Pena was languishing in Columbus in 2006. He was hitting well, and reporters asked Joe Torre if they were considering calling him up. Torre said no, he wasn’t even checking to see how Pena was doing. He was happy with Andy Phillips.
Pena exercised his option in August…and signed with the Red Sox. Who released him when the season ended.
This has got to be awfully sweet for Pena.

FRANCIS DOE!!!!
There is a helluva MLS match on ESPN2 tonight. DC United is fighting for a playoff spot, and this is a must win game. They went down to New England 1-0, but have battled back, throwing everything at the goal. Francis Doe has notched his first two MLS goals to put DC up 2-1 in the 82nd minute!
United wins!
It’s their first victory of any kind since Sept. 3, and the first in MLS since August. Win against the Crew (who clinched weeks ago), and they have a great chance to make the postseason.

Even though you'll be rooting for the Crew, you should go
Emilio is healthy, and Moreno and Fred both got minutes and played well tonight. That’s especially surprising since Fred was thought to be out for the season. Couple that with the fact that Doe and Boyzzz Khumalo are playing pretty well, and DC should be playing attractive soccer. And there’s always the chance that Louis Crayton will make a keeper run forty yards off his line.
Plus the Crew is pretty good.

It was kind of a hot topic in Brewers blogdom, whether the team struggled against mediocre to poor pitchers. We got beat by aces like Glendon Rusch, Shawn Estes and a motley cast of others. Can’t really say whether Ramon Ramirez, I think that was his name, is good or bad, but I think he beat the Brewers once or was it twice?
You're being sarcastic when you say "aces," right?
Ram Ram went 1-0 in two games against the Brewers.

He actually did a half decent job.
He was pretty solid as a 5th starter over the last month of the season.
"My wife ain't never ran and got me no pheasant." - Fistbands
It’s always hard to judge a pitcher like him against a team like the Brewers. Its like torture watching the games (for Brewers fans). A team really needs 6 or even 7 starters per season and he could fit nicely.
Seems like the Reds suffer from the same disease
An incident that stands out is when we got beat by the Marlins’ Ryan Tucker, fresh out of AA the same day.

Exactly.
I was hoping in spring training this year that he might be able to convince Kerry Wood to come to Cinci. Mostly I just want to reiterate the asshattery it takes to throw your team under the bus by saying that you’d win with different players. And the asshattery is doubled into dumbfuckery when, as you pointed out, the players he did bring in were Corey Patterson and Paul Bako.

Game 7
Wednesday, October 22, 1975 at Fenway Park in Boston, Massachusetts
Team 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 R H E
Cincinnati 0 0 0 0 0 2 1 0 1 4 9 0
Boston 0 0 3 0 0 0 0 0 0 3 5 2
WP: Clay Carroll (1-0) LP: Jim Burton (0-1) SV: Will McEnaney (1)
HRs: CIN – Tony Pérez (3)
After an exciting Game 6, there was no worry about Game 7 being anti-climactic. Reds starter Don Gullett started having control problems in the third inning. After giving up an RBI single to Carl Yastrzemski, Gullett walked Carlton Fisk to load the bases. He then walked Rico Petrocelli and Dwight Evans to force in two more runs. However, that would be it for the Sox scoring.
Bill Lee shut out the Reds through five innings, but, in the sixth with a man on, he tried to throw a slow lob pitch (his famous “Leephus pitch or Space Ball”) to Tony Perez. Perez hung back, waited for it perfectly, and blasted it for a two-run homer, his third in three Series games. Now, the score was 3-2.
The Reds tied it in the seventh when Ken Griffey walked, stole second, and scored on a two-out single by Pete Rose.
In the ninth, Griffey led off with a walk, was sacrificed to second by César Gerónimo, and went to third on a groundout. Sox pitcher Jim Burton then walked Rose to set up a forceout, but then gave up a bloop single to Joe Morgan to score Griffey with the go-ahead run. Will McEnaney retired the Sox in the ninth, closing out an unbelievable World Series.

I didn’t know that. He went to the Rays from the Brewers. He really wasn’t with us for long. He melted down in a handful of games. Maybe there was a hangover from the org’s hanging on to Turnbow for so long. We got McClung who was looked on as garbage and he has really turned out well.
Funny how that works out.
He wasn’t good for the Brewers and he never pitched in a ML game for the Reds, but now he’s one of the great stories of the postseason.

If the Rays can go from 66 wins to 97 in one year, anything’s possible.

joe the plumber was right
we need to seal our borders. And America did the same thing for Iraq that Jesus did for Christians.

Did he really say that?
And why is anyone giving a nominally educated man from Ohio press time?
Much less one that’s not even licensed to work in his trade of choice?

I had to turn that crapfest off.
I can’t stand seeing happy Boston fans. Hell, as much as I hate to say this, not even happy Yankee fans can bother me as much as Boston fans do right now.

they remind me of the rich kids in school who didnt dress rich or act rich and they would try to hang with us regular kids and try to convince us that they werent any different, but we all knew. we knew they were rich and we hated them for it. we hated them more because they thought they trick us into thinking they were like us. they are not like us.

I like where you're going with that
Except I’d add that it’s like seeing said spoiled rich kid at the mall with his parents buying him a Nintendo 64 after him telling you that he didn’t think he’d be getting one right after they came out. And then you asking your mom when you were going to get one and her saying “never o’clock”. And you wanting to beat that kids ass and steal it but you have to be nice so he’ll invite you over to play it.

I flipped it off immediately too
All the dredging up of 2004 and 2007 was going to fucking kill me. On the other hand, Bronson Arroyo just sent Scott Kazmir a text message saying, “Bullpen harshin’ your wheeze? I been there, broseph. I understand. Totes.”

So all those fans that left when Tampa Bay was up 7-0?
I hope they all went out and had the most amazing date with Sean Maguire’s wife. “Gotta go see about a girl.”

I can't believe they did it again
Somebody needs to drive a stake through the hearts of the Sox. They keep rising from the dead.

Only thing I saw tonight was Sean Casey striking out in the 9th
He looked heavey and old…now I find that the Red Sox came back won…Christ on an alligator’s meal…what’s up w/dat?
Sgt. McCAin and Sarah The Impaler don't scare me none.

I need some of what you’re drinking. I feel absolutely crushed, and it’s not even my team that lost.
I've been alternating 24oz Heineken cans
and Mich Light bottles. Things are fantastic right now at the Statcave. Scrabbles, aren’t you in my ‘hood? Who’s the Red Reporter who holds things down at the Grandview Noodles & Co? All are welcome.
im not the noodle dude
but i am in Hilliard. i would have loved to have drank myself silly last night (or this morning). oh well, i guess i’ll just go to work and get a bottle of iced tea from the cafe. sigh….
