His contract makes Pornhub seem like Mayberry RFD.

That’s an interesting analogy.

It took me a while to come up with a really lame TV series.

I mean there was a ton to choose from. Narrowing it down was the problem.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Has anyone here seen Spinal Tap: The End Continues? Is the movie as funny as the title?

In  a side note the Tigers did beat the Guardians. 

The weekend just got a little tighter

They better win tomorrow and don’t depend on others to do your dirty work.

Tomorrow, Saturday or Sunday. They all work.

Few days ago I posted that the Detroit series will come down to the final game Sunday vs Skubal.

I'm sticking with that call

Houston has to make that happen, too…

I don't doubt Houston will make it interesting. Just because that's the Red Sox way.

Also Astros playing jerk Angel's who have nothing

[vegasbob]

Keep in mind that to control their own destiny. the Sox will be starting 2 raw late season rookies. Harrison and Early. Think about it

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Shite, I can't find my rally cap.

Headline: BoSox only allow Toronto to score in 1 inning

I guess I won't get any sleep tonight. If the Sox can't win one of three, then they don't deserve to be in the PO's.

[vegasbob]

So did the clubhouse guys have to start putting up beer spray protection after the 5th inning?  Only to tear it all down quick before dumpster fire Wilson  came in for his well deserved shower

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Still breathing, OB? More like life support.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

That was a Ninja base hit.

[vegasbob]

Never fear Gonzalez getting a key hit when it counts.

I hear a lot of false bravado in Merloni. He knows what is coming

The Rapture? No, that was Tuesday.

Crappy game- more like inning.

get 'em tomorrow.

Magic number still one. Three games to go. Hopefully, we don't need to start one of our big 3 on short rest.

[oldtimer]

Whats with Story? He seems to be very error prone of late.

[illinoisredsox]

Unfortunately, Bello has reverted to nibbling his past several starts.  He really had gotten away from that for the summer months and was pitching better than Crochet for a while.

If they failed to make the playoffs i would seriously fire cora. I mean they had over a 90 percent chance of making the playoffs.

Speaking of tomorrow, Corporate giant Apple+ will be televising the game.

Weekend rotation is Harrison, Early and Giolito.  Crochet on Sunday would be the only possible short rest start and they’re not going to sub him for Giolito.

Either the hitters show up or its curtains.  Can’t revert to scoring 1-2 runs a game.

So I get to listen to the dulcid tones of Wil Flemming on Sirius and watch the game (if it’s worth it) on MLB.tv later when the replay’s available.

Or Mike Trout gets hot and the Angels win one against the Asstros. Backing into the PO's doesn't bother me at all. Beep, beep, beep....

Cleveland losing twice to the Rangers would also do it. Not likely, but not unfathomable either.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Cora seems confident because the final 3 games are at Fenway. Why is he confident?
