Deniers! We have Really Great Clutch Hitters! Covfefe! PS: Boston Red Sox won the AL East in spite of JF. FACT!

that's right! tomorrows 2pm start is a bit trickier. luckily i had already taken the day off as the SW Battlefront II Beta drops tomorrow (today for the deluxe edition folks).

i actually prefer a 4pm start time to 8 or 9. at least i can go to sleep before midnight.

actually the Red Sox have been known to lose a bunch of games to start a playoff series and then come back and win the whole damn thing.....

He's on the Yankees. Surely he has been to their clinic in Miami....

lol mal. Thunder is using use Thunderdome mojo. it was good mojo for an 8 or 9 game winning streak a few weeks ago. we have to sacrifice some decorum for the betterment of the team's success. BJ's + Uconn girls = WIN.

ok....maybe david ortiz wasnt a clutch hitter. but Big Papi sure as f*** was.

The use of “clutch” to mean “a high-pressure situation or critical moment” was definitely popularized in sports, particularly baseball, where the term was in use by the 1920s. A poster to the mailing list of the American Dialect Society a few years ago suggested that the usage may have been drawn from the famous poem “Invictus” by the English poet W.E. Henley, which contains the line “In the fell clutch of circumstance, I have not winced nor cried aloud” (“fell” meaning “cruel or fierce,” as in “one fell swoop”). Inasmuch as “Invictus” (Latin for “unconquered”) was part of the standard English curriculum in many schools of the period, it’s certainly possible that the word simply popped into the mind of a sportswriter and grew from there. But it’s equally likely that “in the clutch” meaning in the “moment of crisis” arose as a variant of “in the pinch,” also meaning “at a critical juncture,” which had been used in baseball since the first years of the 20th century. This “pinch” also gave us “pinch hitter,” a substitute batter who steps in when the team is in an especially tight spot.

according to Webster 1929 was the first use for sport: clutch adjective Definition of clutch 1 :made or done in a crucial situation a clutch hit 2 :successful in a crucial situation a clutch pitcher a clutch hitter See clutch defined for English-language learners Examples of clutch in a Sentence She scored a clutch basket.

Clutch = God = Love = Global Warming they all exist. some dont believe in them. we call them deniers.

do you think David Ortiz is clutch?

i would rather the yankees lose and take my chances with whomever remains. i dont want the yankees help in "getting by cleveland". i'll take my chances in a best of 7 vs them. any Red Sox fan that is rooting for the Yankees tonight because they believe it will help us in the ALCS can eat a bag of dicks.

i 100 billion million hope/wish/root for the yankees to lose tonight. i dont give a flying f*** if them winning increases my Red Sox chances to win ALCS by 1.7%. I will gladly forego that 1.7% for a yankees 1 and done.....

finally. we all agree that clutch is real. Youk...you can close this thread. also - Ortiz was clutch in spite of JF. end of line _____________________________________________________________________________________________________

17-0 Twins.

Ted wasn't clutch. david Ortiz was.

I've been thinking about this. I think it should be you thunder. With MVP in the pen.

nice job Bell. i hope you put a wager in vegas on that total.

forever the optimist.....

This is always my favorite thread to start. It means our beloved Boston Red Sox have made the Postseason. It takes 11 wins to have the Parade. I say gas up the duckboats- we ARE gonna do this! Who's with me? Who makes the ALDS roster? I say holt, rajai, nunez. ALDS game 1 is Thursday. Certainly Sale will be the starter. Game 2 on Friday will 99% be Pom. The question will be who will be on the bump on Sunday? I think Porcello. But the way the ball is coming out of Price's hand right now...I think the hook will be quick. Here's hoping we have a better showing this year than last. Let's enjoy the AL East title for a few days and cheer on the twinkies. I'm pumped for some postseason baseball. Easily the best time of year. GO SOX

100%

Not baloney. You are looking to lock up the division. Carson smith should get 1 base runner. That's it. They win in spite of JF

JF is a f***ing idiot. You give Carson smith 1 base runner. That's it. f***ing win in spite of him I swear to god
