Anybody else going to watch this?


For Mariners fans out there we'll get to enjoy :
Anthony Varvaro (starting pitcher - cross your fingers he doesn't walk the world)
Dustin Ackley
Carlos Triunfel
Phillippe Aumont
Nick Hill
Josh Fields
Dunnigan (I forget his first name )

There's another OF on the roster, but I sort of doubt he gets in to the game.

Hmm..anybody else watching?

lol

Announcer on Nevin Ashley : This guy is in scoring position at home plate
-looks terrible at a curve way outside the zone and looks silly-

I dunno why, but that was pretty funny. Also, whoever the Brewers catcher is just made a nice throw to second to catch a runner.

Cale Iorg is quick. Ackley hit a grounder to the SS and he elected to toss it to 2B, but Iorg beat the ball and was called safe giving Ackley an RBI.

Great bunt by Angle. Bad fielding by whoever the Dodgers 1B is, although he probably would have been safe anyways.

Nice double steal; whoever the Brewers pitcher is is really slow to home plate.

[Edit : The Dodgers 1B was Russ Mitchell]

Is that Brewers player George Kottaras?

Is that Brewers player George Kottaras?

no.

Apparently Scott Drucker owns a company called Super Kicks that focuses on finding rare shoes. Weird.

[200tang]

Russ Mitchell is having a really bad day :\

[200tang]

Nice triple by Lambo.

Also : The crowd was hilarious when it hit the wall and they were all yelling at him to go for 3. I love the AFL crowds.

Followed up by the ugliest AB of the day by Casper Wells.

[200tang]

The chick in the crowd is really really annoying.

The best quote from her today was when Iorg got hit by a pitch and she was shouting "DONT RUB IT!" over and over.

[200tang]

An impressive display by Weinhardt. He was chosen in the 10th round this year, but if his stuff today is for real the Tigers have found themselves a nice bullpen arm.

[200tang]

Weinhardt stays in to close out the 9th and strikes out Jemile Weeks to end the game.

Javelinas win the title and break the Dogs' 5 year win streak!

w00t!
