9/15 - 9/17 @ Miami

[Thunder]

Making one GT for the entire series. Let's try this out. Kimmi and MVP have been calling for it for some time. If we win the series, I'll do the GT for the next series.

 

By the end of this week, Miami and Boston are going to be sick of each other. The Dolphins just played the Patriots on Sunday, and the Heat and Celtics begin their Eastern Conference Finals series tonight. And then, much lower on the totem pole, you have these two. I was in Miami for the first time in February, and it's a really special city. I'll give them that much.

People down here already hate M*******s. The only people they hate more are all the NYers.

I would imagine that includes Derek Jeter

Nobody cares about the Marlins down here.

Too bad none of it will matter if he sucks

[Kimmi]

Good job with the series thread Thunder.

 

Miami is in the playoff hunt, so there is that.

I'm fine with one person for the whole series GT, but have never thought Miami was that special--even after spending half a day on Fisher Island. I wasn't that enamored with Honolulu either, and it's nicer than Miami.

[Maxbialystock]

This season I've been madder at the Sox than I can remember--going all the way back to 1949 when I started reading the box scores. But even this year I have enjoyed some of the games, including the last one, which allowed the Sox to split that 4 game series against the Rays.

I meant that more from a standpoint of the people and the food. I was also there for Super Bowl Weekend, so they were definitely showcasing themselves in the best possible light

[Maxbialystock]

Houck relied heavily on the fast ball in the 1st, but got lucky with those two hard hit outs. Two sliders out of the zone (low, which is good) got it to 3-2, followed by a nice fastball, swung on and missed, on the outside corner.

 

Go, Sox!

[d-money]

Well after getting the first two outs he’s in trouble.

[d-money]

Gets out of the inning without giving up runs.

[Maxbialystock]

So far Houck's slider has been his best pitch.

 

Celtics lead 34-24 in the 2d quarter.

Still feels like the celtics haven’t played their best basketball.

[Maxbialystock]

I think Brad Stevens needs to bring in Houck because right now the Celtics defense sucks.

37 points in the second quarter. Toronto might not have taken advantage but miami will. This team at times is flat out lazy.

[Larry Cook]

Houck is starting to look a little gassed!

[5GoldGlovesOF,75]

Houck is incredible. Fish tried to rally, but Houck smash.

[Maxbialystock]

Houck's slider is gold tonight. I normally support umps, but tonight clearly Houck is outperforming the home plate ump.

[TylerD]

0-0 so far

 

But lightning looking to take the lead here

 

Oh my bad. Wrong game.

[Thunder]

Lol these gamethreads have turned into gamethreads for literally every other game except the Red Sox game

Not sure why. The Sox are having a hell of a season

 

The white Sox that is HAHAHAHA. see what I did there..... I need friends

I'll be your friend! Going to school online from home is quite lonely

[Thunder]

Wow JBJ!

 

Is it just me or has the pitching been moderately better over the last week or so?

I haven't seen you pitch, but Houck was pretty good... he could get a win in his debut (if the bull-cough- bullpen comes through).

 

Perfect hit by JBJ; too bad Vaz is such a load, because anyone running on contact with two outs should be able to score on a ball down the line that reaches the wall.

Deal!!!!! I have my spouse and my kid. My kid is kind of mean to me though. Such a mommas boy lmao.

 

How’s school online? Man that would be tough for me.

Everything about it is manageable. I kind of like it actually. I pick when I work on stuff, and I can take a break to watch a quick TV show or go to the gym or something. The only negative that is prevalent is the loneliness. There's days where I don't talk to anybody face to face, other than my parents. Not all days are like that though

[Larry Cook]

Very impressed with houck tonight. His slider had bite and his fastball had some movement!

 

I think bringing him for a few starts this year was a good move.

[Larry Cook]

Why does Roenicke keep sending Martinez out there to end rallies!
