Did they have a 14th inning stretch like they did at the 18-inning World Series game I went to?
At least the Tribe won and is moving on. Imaging if they lost after all this.

This reminds me a bit of how it felt at the All-Star Game -- my first one ever. Great beginning with lots of hits, including by Dodgers. Kershaw did well enough. Then I got to see the NL just go hitless from the 2nd through 7th innings, and it was just brutal. Just nothing to cheer for. Crowd's energy was sapped. It didn't help that this was a "neutral" stadium (stupid), so they couldn't even play any rallying music or sound effects to get the crowd into it. Finally there was a weak attempt to get something going in the 8th, which failed. Then a 1-2-3 9th.
What a fail. Would've been a lot more fun if it was a slugfest back and forth.
Anyway, at least you had a good ending.
9-9 Jays Mariners, was 8-1 TOR, both bullpens, including the amazing Mariners BP, have let in 5 runs.
What a disgusting choke job by Toronto.
Should have left gausman in one more batter.
And your bullpen just has to be better.
Pathetic.
Two things, baseball has been very good me but I hate Toronto almost as much as I hate America.
Seattle is a neighbour and if they advance one step further I will watch.
Also, shut the fuck up you nicotine slave. Your addiction to nicotine extends to a photo
of you and your son, running of the bulls in Spain, and you have a butt lodged between your stunted growth fingers.
You couldn't drop that nicotine hit for the minute or two required for a photo? That's speaks volumes. Let's talk addiction.
And your little addiction means a daily intake. That means stink. You have a stink about you that involves all your clothing. You can't smell it but everyone else can.
Of all addictions, yours is the most pointless. There is no mental uplift. There is no satiation as with food.
No relief from stress, nothing. But you do it and you cast blame all the same. Fraud.
Ultimately no one is perfect so the charge is that of a hypocrite. It's time honoured. Those casting blame
are typically in over their heads with personal failures.

First off it was cold as fuck. It was like 47-48 through innings 1-9. That’s nothing to me being from up here. I’ve went to a hundred events colder than that. There was something about the wind and just angle, it was miserable. I felt appropriately dressed. Had north face long sleeve on and Columbia jacket. 48 feels like 80 in March after winter, but I was miserable as was everyone else. When they loaded the bases and failed to score a run, there was just a palpable gloom that overtook the stadium and it lost all atmosphere between the cold and length. I’d have left two hours earlier and went somewhere to watch it in any non-playoff scenario. At the end, my team won, but was legit the least enjoyable experience I’ve ever had at a sporting event.
Add in I had a headache and I had this guy just screaming his own made up chant the whole game a row behind me and it was a long day. I turned around to tell him to shut the fuck up, but he was older and had one of those diabetic gloves on and missing a few fingers, so I just let him have his fun.
We won. I have not a single other positive thing to say
Going to Dodgers/Padres game 2
Very unlike me to buy seats over 24 hours in advance, as usually the price goes down. Decent chance that will happen here, too, but I saw seats I really liked and couldn't resist. Also, the amount it can potentially go down isn't that high, so the downside isn't that terrible.
Looks like I'm getting Kershaw. Lord help me.
Well, I’ve ran well with Quantril, and we aren’t beating Nestor, so it has to be tonight.
Tribe +175
Phillies/Braves already starting with some fireworks.
2-1 Phillies
Fried isn't looking great, but Ranger Suarez simply isn't very good. Braves really need to win this one, rather than being in must-wins against Nola or Wheeler.
Awful announcing
Can someone tell Joe Davis to fucking stop talking. He can’t stuff more meaningless trivia into a broadcast. Ok bud, you are “Mr Inside Baseball”. Motormouth. Trying too hard.
I usually switch to another broadcast when he’s on but I’m stuck with him for playoffs. Uggghhhh
He is the antithesis of Vin Scully.
Despite the expanded playoffs I see a 5 day break for those teams with a bye vs 4 last year.
I actually have no playoff action today. Very unlike me.
October is the very best time of the year for sports so no worries finding good spots.

Phillies bullpen strikes again. 7-1 lead becomes 7-6. Uh oh
Okay, Sanlmar, I'm here to take my lumps regarding Kershaw.
Though tonight's loss was a multi-player failstory.
At least the game was exciting and the weather was nice.
