vs. YANKEES, 9/25

[Trace21230]

Well time for me to turn off sports for a while and get back to watching how the world is crumbling around us.

Jeter just congratulated the Orioles and wished them luck in the playoffs.

Very nice words towards O's!!! Classy!!!

[schittenden]

Yep. Now I must avoid all sports television for the next 48 hours. But by then they will be gearing up for JETER'S LAST GAME EVER.

This may be it. I don't know, but I would think that ending probably would make you think hard about that.

[Trace21230]

14 years, 14 years, they beat us up, it's our turn to beat up them, ruin it for them, and Showalter gets sentimental. OUTRAGEOUS.

Exactly. But you are "vile" for saying that.

[Palmoripken]

Okay I'm over it. Probably won't be watching too many games this weekend but I'm ready for playoff baseball on Thursday.

[DurbBird]

The phone rang shortly after the game ended, and as Michele went to answer it, she said, "It's probably Derek Jeter."

[Fiver]

At least MLB Network is there to provide oral favors for Jeter for the rest of the night.

What else is new? He's gotten oral favors all year long even though he's had a terrible year.

Boy I hated that. I had it on pause right after the winning run scored. Just didn't want to see the celebration. But I finally relented and caught up as I wanted to hear what Buck and Palmer had to say. Mixed feelings. Meaningless game for us, but we've been there, too (though not a direct parallel) when the O's ruined Boston's season at the end of 2011. We were jubilant on the field. They surely hated it. I just wish we'd been the spoilers tonight after the great comeback. I had the game pretty much written off with the way the defense had been playing. Then Jones and Pearce sucked me back into thinking it meant something.

Only positive I see is that it shows the O's still have the fight in 'em after a sloppy game. And it was classy to see the O's saluting Jeter and Jeter returning the favor. Other than that, I hate losing.

[OFFNY]

I'm just pissed this is going to be shown for years and years ... and it's against us.

As was (and still is) the "Munson game," which was televised live on Monday Night Baseball just 4 days after he died in a plane crash.

If the Orioles AT LEAST win the pennant and make it to the World Series this year, this game will not stain this magical season any more than that game did our magical, American League Championship 1979 season.

I bet Scarlett plays a better SS than him.

[WEAVERMAN]

Thanks to KG, Nicky, De Aza, Adam, and Pearce, good job tonight. We'll need to proceed with JS and Flaherty in the postseason for D purposes. Not to be snarky, but we shall overcome.

Meant to mention this last night, but we were deep into the post-game analysis. But isn't that Frank Robinson there below the Laker fans? I found a photo today of him at The Staples Center with what appears to be the same woman.

Hahaha what the hell. I've seen this GIF a million times and never, ever noticed Frank Robinson. That's hilarious.
