Seagulls... They is attackin'
This game blew.. Let's be honest.
So instead of talking about it, I'm going to talk about random things, and maybe some game thoughts will pop in once and awhile.
What was with the seagulls tonight? Is it because of Memorial Day or something? I mean, by God they were flying on and off screen and every time you saw the zoomed out shot you could see them.
Joe Maddon really doesn't trust a lead does he? Bringing in a new relief pitcher in a six run game with one out and two on? Not even a bonus grand-slam would tie the game up. A bonus grand slam is a grand slam (Dennys!) and an extra run be rewarded if the guy on deck just runs around the base paths. I made that up just now.
These red hats.. They work for the Indians, I'd even support red being something used once and awhile with the blues or the whites. But they don't work for the Rays. I can only imagine a team like the Athletics wearing their green jerseys. It's Christmas in May!
At one point in the game, I turned on Nickelodeon in hopes that Spongebob would be on. To my overjoyed heart, the Spongebob Movie was on! I got to see it finally! I turned the game back on when the movie was over in order to suffer some more heartbreak.
I don't even remember Fausto Carmona starting this game. I missed the first 20 minutes because I was helping with dinner. Then, like I said, by the time it was 10-0, I had Spongebob's Movie on.
Joe Maddon is making another pitching change, but clearly the defense caused that gaff, so what gives?
David Price isn't going to get credit for a win. Such a shame.
Jeremy Sowers should probably get the win for being the best pitcher in this game. Five scoreless innings with just three hits and a walk. Where is this garbage when you start Sower pitch?
That puts us in a stupid position on Wednesday and Thursday. David Huff is definitely getting another chance, but the Indians will have to make a roster move. See ya Rich Rundles, bring up Kirk Saarloos.
Ryan Garko hit a home run tonight and went 2-4.. Why is he playing once a week again?
Sowers will go back to sucking after this by the by. It's fate.
I need to go have my oil changed tomorrow. I think I'll pick up my paycheck as well. I go back to work on Wednesday.
I washed my car today. I guess I should have waited to wash it.. The oil changing guys won't get it dirty right? I couldnt't wait, I was bored today.. Inside and out, the first real cleaning since I got the thing. It will feel good to drive a car that is now actually mine because I've given it my standard work.
I just remembered. A bird left his mark on the hood when I went out to take the garbage out. So it's already dirty again. Son of a bitch.
Maybe it was one of those damned seagulls.
Longoria just caught a b-liner hit right at him, two outs. This team can't catch a friggin break. I wanted to use the F-Word there, but I have to remember to keep this mature.
Dale Thayer has a cool mustache.. He looks like a goof ball though. Not quite on Sal Fasano level.
Oh hey.. Garko just hit another home run and it's a two run game. Someone care to explain to me why he's still rotting on the bench?
You know we're still going to lose this game though right?
Vic is like 0-for-his last like.. like.. fifty... It feels like... It won't last forever, but you hope it ends soon, especially with the Griz heating up.
Here comes Asdrubal Cabrera and Jason Isringhausen is warming up. Holy... Jason Isringhausen?
The five fans in attendance are making a lot of noise.
BALL FOUR BY BALFOUR!! HAHA GET IT!
Tying run to the plate, are you serious? Did we switch bullpens or something? How did the Rays get this cursed crud?
Benny Fresh is due up. We'll still lose...
What if we didn't though?
Did anyone by chance see the youtube video, or it was on ESPN First Take today. The Cleveland news station that was going off the air at 11 and they all assumed the Cavs were dead in the water. Then LeBron hit the shot and they all jumped up and the sports guy said CAVS WIN!
I wanted to stab myself in the eye with a pencil when that happened, but now that the Magic are up 2-1, I can laugh at that video.
I've now stalled long enough for the commercial to end. I'm just trying to keep typing until the game official ends. So a tie game doesn't work for me. Fresh needs to get on and Carroll has to end it with a home run.
Haha... Right... Izzy can't find the zone either, 2-0 to Francisco. Make it 3-0.
Look at all the fans with those stupid aprons on. All five fans are drunks, I guarentee it.. Ball four by a guy not named Balfour, winning run to the plate..
Hit a gaper Jamey.
Holy crap there's two outs.... We're still going to lose. This is like death tortue, because we won't win.
Unless of course they walk the next nine guys, because that's where this is headed at this rate.
At least the guys Maddon took out were throwing strikes.. These last few dudes can't even hit the zone.
I loved Izzy too.. I wanted to sign him. This sucks to see him laboring.
Frick it.. Kick his ass!!!
A strike has been thrown, but that was lucky.
The seagulls need to come back, I'm running out of material as Izzy throws his third ball, and Jamey you shortstuff, you better get this walk. Wow... Another close one called a strike.. Darrnnnnn.
Now I'm getting my hopes up and if we don't win, I'll be pissed.
We won't win! We won't win! Full-count and a foul ball, I'm going crazy man!
Did I mention I needed to get my oil changed tomorrow?
Ball FOUR LOADED BASES FOR MY LITTLE INDIANS.
What the hell is going on, another trip to the mound. Haven't they run out of those? Isn't there a limit? Hell if I know, never seen that happen.
A hit would tie this game, a double would win it with Carroll at first going on contact, provided it hits a gap.
This is what happens when you start typing out a blog before the game is over and it actually doesn't end. You get wrapped up in what's going on and you end up having to say.. Okay, so much has happened in the ninth that you can't mask it.
Ball 3 to Sizemore.. It looks like Jason Isringhausen is auditioning for our bullpen.
My elbow hurts from the non-stop typing. I think I need Tommy John surgery now.
Full-count now.. Damnit to hell Grady! Off to the races now, not on contact, on first pitch, so a gap would win it.
But we won't win.
UNTIL BALL FOUR!
One run game and a hit will win this buckaroo.
This may be the single best post in the history of this blog and it's come on a Memorial Day.
Look who is up.. Vic.. Remember what I said about an hour ago on this post? Like, I hope the slump ends soon.. Like.. Now would be a great time.
As Izzy gets a silly strike..
We'll still lose though.. It only makes sense to kill us this way.
WHOA Look at that curveball... As Manning just said. He hasn't been able to throw it since he's been behind, HAHA.. Oh man.. Another garbage strike. Vic is going to smack someone.
The ump probably just wants to come home.
Isn't that what they always say?
Hey a ball, havn't seen many of those in this at-bat. Fouled off! My chest is exploding! It may be from the ribs and macaroni salad, but you never know.
We're going to lose.. I can't stop saying it.
At least Isringhausen is wearing the same cap color as he used to.
CARROLL!! CARROLL! THERE IS NO CARROLL IN HR!
TRIBE WIN! TRIBE WIN!
SEASON SAVED!! GET THE DOGGIES AND THE CATS! WE'RE GOING TO DISNEY LAND!
GET YOUR APRONS!
GET YOUR LOLLIPOPS!
I'M GETTING MY OIL CHANGED AND GOING TO DISNEY WORLD.. OR LAND! OR F IT.. WE'LL DO IT LIVE!
