Of course there’s a baseballing thing going on as well. And the Senators! Who could forget that the Sens are playing? [pretty much everyone raises their hands]
Fallout:
-Feelin’ HOT, HOT, HOT: That would be the butts of Dallas DC Eberflus and Cincy’s Al Golden. The Cowboys have given up 250 points and the Bengals have surrendered 253. The next closest team are the Titans way back at 230. Just a note-I’ve not seen someone in career freefall quite like Eberflus-Head Coach, Defensive Coordinator and who knows what next year? Quality Control Consultant? Scout? Gatherer of Potatoes?
-Rich Bleed The Poor, Part The Millionth: Has a Titans fire sale begun?-fairly good slot cb McCreary is off to the Rams for a relative pittance. Please Tennessee, spend your extra draft capital on the offensive line. Trust me.
-Skattebo had successful surgery in Philly last night. Why there? Well, he had an ‘open dislocation’ (GAH!) that needed to be attended to immediately. Gotta love all the Internet folks that pulled on their suspenders and typed, “When I dislocated a joint, blah, blah, blah…”.
To The Game!
Commies/Chiefs:
-In case you forgot (as I did) Daniels is still out so Mariota is in. Out of curiousity I looked up his career earnings-they’re at 83 million and counting. As part of his current contract he gets paid $30,000 every week to not be on the practice squad.
-As of the present it would seem that Washington caught lightning in a bottle last year because they’re staring at their (very likely) third straight loss this evening.
-Good News! Both McLaurin and Deebo should be available tonight. Bad News! That’s not nearly enough to get a W.
-Can I pile on? The Commies have eight defensive starters 28 or older. They’ll get tuckered out this evening.
-K.C. has only lost one Monday Nighter during the Mahomes Era.
-With Kareem Hunt sorta hobbled with a bone bruise look for rook rb Brashard Smith to get a larger piece of the action.
Have at it.
BB RBI in 3…2…1…
…-43…-44…-45…
It kind of just dawned on me that the LA contingent here seems… indifferent? to the Dirt Rams’ successes lately. Maybe I’m misreading or misunderstanding, but, for as many Los Angelnos we have, el Dodgeros seem strangely blase.
They caught Boston Sports Syndrome.
You should know by now that LA fans don’t get emotionally invested.
We’re trying to beat traffic.
Speaking of, did anyone see the chase that ended when a car intentionally rammed into a motorcycle being pursued by the cops, resulting in the guy on the bike flipping over on the freeway?
LA baseball fans are famously blasé.
Doyers are fucked. RIP.
“We are young” playing when Kershaw comes in is certainly a choice.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j_b94shYsnk
Kershaw will blow it.
It does seem that way…
The prophecy is coming together…
Bases clearing double, coming up
There’s NO chance that call stands. Guy was safe by a mile
Walking the 9th place hitter just seems like a bad idea.
Actually the #1 hitter is a pitch runner hitting .154. Good call.
Well the bases are now loaded, so…
“He’s been on base six times. Not a normal DH night.”
He’s the Designated Hitter! He doesn’t have to worry about defense or making outs. His only job is to take at bats and hit the ball! What do you think he goes if the ball goes in play?!
John Henry deserves to step on Legos for the rest of eternity for letting Betts walk.
Uh oh…that was weird. Who called the trainer?
If I’m Ohtani, I would’ve at least offer to spot them a strike or two.
“I’ll give you 1 strike and 4-1 odds you can’t get me out”
“2 strikes will give you 7-1 with a one ball teaser.”
Is that a Lance Armstrong sex thing?
Its a betting thing. They lower the spread to tempt you to make another bet outside of your planned amount.
Weather preview for games 4-5 in LA…gonna be in the 90s with Santa Ana Winds (those dry as a Shapiro wife desert winds), so there may be delays due to fire.
Its not rain, play on!
Could be worse, could be playing in Jamaica.
The Dodgers better win this in the 11th, because if Kershaw comes in the Blue Jays will put up at least 4.
That may be a tactical decision. Do you want to be down 1-2 with a functioning bullpen or up 2-1 with your entire bullpen on fumes?
I want to win this game. Emotional boost of winning this game versus the let down of losing it.
Now, if Ohtani’s calf is more than cramped that may be another story.
Wait, Johnny Knoxville is rebooting Fear Factor?
I know there’s worse stuff, but fuck this anyway.
If we’re redo everything, can we redo All in the Family? The reactions alone would be worth it.
Even more people wouldn’t get it.
Can’t be any worse than Joe Rogan
Joe Rogan: starts speaking
Redshirt: dives into poisonous spider barrel for the sweet release of death
Smoltz isn’t kidding; he hung that pitch like laundry. Lucky this game is still going on.
CHARGE THE MOUND!!!
“Ok, one felony count of conspiring to impede Los Angeles ICE troops”

James Corden is currently the guest on Jimmy Fallon, and WHY HASN’T THERE BEEN A SURGICAL MISSILE STRIKE ON THE SITE YET??!
Trump, hit the button and I will personally put the crown on your head!
Yeah, that’s quite a pair (Triumph voice) FOR ME TO POOP ON
If this game reaches an 11th, the third base coach is going to come onto the field with two bleeding stubs for arms.
What odds did you get on that?
Ha, like that…(grabs phone to check)
Arent you on deck Ohtani?
I can multitask.
I mean HA HA GOOD ONE FRIEND SHARKBAIT
“They needed two perfect throws…”
FFS, Smoltz, the catcher could have eaten a sandwich between the time he caught the ball and the time the runner started his slide; they could have thrown that ball back and forth a couple of times never mind needed a perfect throw.
Okay, one time is just being bravely stupid. But two times brings up possible Black Sox Suspicions.
Jays’ 3rd base coach will be seeing Brian Kelly in the unemployment line tomorrow
“Vlad is up next?”
Greedy baserunning 2: Electric Boogaloo
Yeah, there’s no excuse for that one.
I like a good play at that plate but Jesus Christ that runner wasn’t even in the frame when the catcher caught the ball.
Traditional Extra Innings with No Ghost Runner on 2nd, the way God intended!
Bring on the 20+ inning marathon.
Once again proving the NHL has the best playoff overtime format.
Steve Garvey out to pitch the 22nd.
22nd inning or pitch to his 22nd illegitimate kid?
Excellent.
/applies “Steve Garvey is not my Padre” bumper sticker to 1987 Datsun B210
A different fish:
(me, a fishknower): “Ah yes, nice koi.”
Free dirt ball!
And more poor choices in base running
Who teaches a runner to hop off the base? Slide over the bag with your leg and body.
The fuck are you having Ohtani steal with Betts up?
“It’s good strategy, on account of their sneakiness”
-B. Parcells
chicken dance song – YouTube
Fuck John Henry with a thousand cactuses for not paying Mookie Betts
Hey, you got Jeter Downs and Alex Verdugo back.
Betts is going to hit one about 420′
https://bsky.app/profile/celebrityhottub.bsky.social/post/3m45cibbnbk2k
That would require the board to have enough humanity to imagine it.
That was some greedy baserunning
Yeah, but it took a hell of a throw to get him.
True, but I think* staying at second is the more prudent move there
*knows nothing about baseball and is more than likely wrong
He’s not looking to see where the ball is once it gets past Freeman. It’s likely on the 3B coach for waving him on. Still, I don’t hate that play.
If Ohtani hits a walkoff homerun, I will be $500 richer, and baseball would officially be as scripted as Pro Wrestling.
If the Blue Jays so much as hint at a strike to Ohtani their manager should be deported.
Agreed. We’ve officially reached the Walk Barry Bonds with the Bases Loaded level.
I hate the Blue Jays, but the Dodgers self-destructing with a bunch of errors and bad base-running, after making fun of the Yankees, (deservedly so), for blowing Game 5 last year doing the same, is making me feel kind of giddy.
That also might be the bourbon.
This is best case for me. Lol Yankees last year, and hopefully the luxury tax skirting Dodgers get beat.
Game, blouses.
Later, Taters!
…and that’s why I put $5 on Ohtani hitting two home runs.
Weird, so did he.
lol plus a few (many) zeroes
(like the planes his grandfather flew)Worst kamikaze pilot ever.
Thinking: don’t say it…don’t say it…don’t say it…
With Trump in charge of the FBI, I’m surprised they didn’t lump Ohtani into the Gambling investigation for ICE reasons.
Thinking: SHIT! Well, back to square one with DFO.
This Ohtani guy might be good
As long as we’re not talking about gambling.
Ohtani just tied the game with his 2nd HR. He also has two doubles. He’s pretty good.
Go Jays.
Confirmed good. Thanks.
Smoltz was talking about keeping the ball away and the pitcher hucked one right down the middle.
You’re not kidding.
https://bsky.app/profile/mikepetriello.bsky.social/post/3m47wpnkt322u
Guy may very well be the best player ever: throw a fastball down the middle and see what happens!
Former LSU DB Matthew Langlois calls Brian Kelly ‘one of the worst humans I’ve been around’ after firing
Sky: blue. Water: wet.
I missed Brian Kelly getting fired; guess this extra bourbon was there for a reason!
He did recruit you, Mr. Langlois, so Coach Calm must’ve done somethings right for you?
Article says he was a walk-on under Ed Orgeron.
I would’ve bolted the instant his name was announced.
I certainly would have if I were a student assistant.

I would like to personally thank Hollywood Brown for not showing up tonight. I didn’t feel like hitting that five-way parlay anyway…
Just realized, he didn’t get hurt did he?
My stream quality is crap, but I’m okay with that because *gestures towards game*
Volcano lairs have poor reception? The things you learn in the clubhouse.
It really depends on the iron content of the magma
I hate it when I accidentally pour more bourbon into a glass than I meant to.
I don’t throw around the term “Hero” lightly, but in this case…
The NFL allowing Joe Buck to point out, at length, that Rashee Rice is a scumbag tells me that Rice is probably involved in that NBA poker scam and it’s about to drop.
