Thanks Spud...... let me reminisce for a bit. I didn't know Gomes played in Japan until they were talking about it tonight. I lived in Tokyo for a bunch of years. Tokyo is the home to two teams. The famous and best team in the J-League the Tokyo Giants who are pretty much the Yankees and have all allstars on their team. Duchebags like Matsui was on that team, Tokyo also has the the super sad and never win Yakult Swallows. So for a couple of seasons I followed the Swallows, the tickets were cheap, they had a small and beautiful non-domed park in the middle of Tokyo. And the right field bleachers had cheering squads that were dedicated and had complex cheers for every player................ they were horrible....... but they were my team when I was in Tokyo............. So on a date with my now wife who actually liked baseball before I met her........ I splurged and bought tickets to sit behind first plate. I think it was like 25 bucks. And other than the bleacher seats, no Japanese fan at the games say a word. They don't give the players crap at all. And I'm a bit fired up..... cause I really like this sad ass Swallows team. And the opposing team has this white dude at bat, who has looked like a chump the last couple at bats. And the Swallow pitcher throws a bender which the white dude hitter misses by a mile, almost comical like how bad the swing was. And I yell something like....... "Nice Swing Guy". Which anyone yelling behind homeplate must have seemed extremely odd and maybe a bit disrespectful to the other fans that sat behind the plate around us. As Japanese people just don't do that stuff, it's not in their culture. I felt a bit uncomfortable afterward, but I'm like f*** it......... the white dude gets it. And the very next pitch......... BAMM......... the white dude crushes a homerun and look back in the area I was sitting............ almost like I gave him the strength to hit that and I just slunk way back in my seat................

My favorite team in Japan was the Yakult Swallows........ there were one of two teams that were based in Tokyo. You could get tickets for about 10 bucks........ they were a horrible team..... Since OB and Gnomes is talking about Japan Baseball...... brings back memories..

How'd Price look his first inning?

Send Price....

My answer is ........... D....... All of the above............. is that right????????

That is funny s*** right there......I just wish AAA went with the 60 watt bulbs like the MLB does instead if the 40 watters......... it's a whole new world batting with those 60 watt bulbs and can raise your average quite a bit for about a month....

I thought Farrell, said he was hopeing to get Price in the game. I would think the more games they get a look at Price to see what they have with him would be valuable info on when and how to use Price in the playoffs. I have no idea if him not getting into the game affects anything. I also think they should have saved the 300th for when they were playing in Boston. But...... Sale is going after Pedro's record now, I wouldn't want to deny him that.

Beautiful domed non condom bj's for all tonight........... wooooooooooooooooooooooooooo hooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Queue the circus clown music.....

Crash positions everyone!!!

Moreland...

ahahah

We have some scary good releivers in the pen... DD finally built a pen...

Oh goody....... extra innings...... we haven't had that in a while........ how exciting....

Is the hand part of the bat a think anymore?

What....... he was swinging....

I'm pretty sure I read that he is actually trying to break into broadcasting. Where the rest of the subs are just fill-ins with no thought of making it a career.

Yea, as soon as I wrote that I remember the extended roster and thought of Lin. I do have to say, just laying down a bunt isn't as easy as it sounds...... especially on a pitcher that is dealing..

Who on the roster would be better at laying down a bunt that they could have put in?

Todd Walker pretty much calling Farrell an idiot without actually doing so....

That was a barn burner...........

I have a couple Yanks fans in my office. I understand the frustration they must be feeling. Then I revel in it........... and then I talk crap and rub their faces in it....

Great walk by Lin...... Benni comes through.............

Hell yea!!!!!! Right on Leon!!!!

To me, this is the most tense game I've seen all year...
