What's with Posada?

[El Supremo]

After being told he was the DH again and would bat 9th, he refused to play. He'll meet the press after the game.

And in another story: that Sarah Silverman interview during the game on FOX was sure a bust. She's supposed to be a Red Sox fan but sure didn't act like it. Her comments that Boston fans were "Massholes" were blanked out and her saying that "steroids were bad but LSD for pitchers was cool" made Buck and McCarver look for a hole to crawl into.

Man. I wish Joe and Tim would go away. They are the worst announcers ever! Buck's monotone voice has gotten worse and McCarver makes me cringe.

[El Supremo]

1. Now he and his wife are saying he has a sore back.

The story develops further.

2. The announcers are really depressed that the Roid Sox are now ahead

6-0 after a three run homer. Buck and Tim really suck, tonight.

:wtf:

Their Skankee bias is really showing through.

BTW, is this game on tape delay for us folks on the west coast???

[El Supremo]

3. You are right. They seem to be down because the Yankers are getting creamed.

And what?? FOX is on a tape delay to apple country?

So you didn't see that Girardi got tossed?

[madinmaryland]

9. Everything else is tape delayed here. I just wish Fox Noise would be on a 16 year tape delay.

:grr:

13. If wherever you're at had DirecTV..

you could get the network channels from back East too..that's what we do..

[Upton]

5. Of course not...

what would make you think that?

[madinmaryland]

10. Because there are no fucking sports at all on the west coast, except for the Skankees and RoidSox..

[Upton]

12. That's because you're in the Mariners market..

for some reason, I guess because it's the AL, whenever Fox has it's stupid game of the week, if the Red Sox or Yankees are part of it..we always seem to get them.

Hockey is on Versus, though the game's almost over..

[madinmaryland]

14. The Mariner's have a market?? I've seen a brazilian espresso stands, but not a single

sign with the Mariner's logo on it.

:wtf:

[KamaAina]

4. What's with Girardi?

With that lineup, you don't bat the DH ninth! Just bench him, put a better bat in there, and get on with it.

Aside: Republican Stepdad, who bleeds pinstripes when he cuts himself shaving, calls Posada "Jose"; whenever he comes up with a man on first and less than two out, he says "Jose's up. Here comes a double play!"

[El Supremo]

8. He WILL be benched tomorrow. n/m

[Upton]

6. Nice performance by the Rockies bullpen today..

it's not easy giving up 8 runs and blowing a 7-1 lead in the last 3 innings...

[El Supremo]

7. LA LA LA!

I can't hear youuuu!

[Upton]

11. LA LA LA?

For a second I thought you were referring to the Dodgers. Speaking of which..Chad Billingsley pitched a complete game today, giving up 0 ER and only 1 hit, but lost to the D-Backs 1-0..

[bluedigger]

15. No way! I gotta check that out...
