That was such a fun game to watch

[Daddy-O's]

I play trivia at a bar every Wednesday night and the game is always on in the background and nobody  pays much attention.  Last night Westburg hits the home run and the entire place erupted.  This is going to be  a great year.

No reason to tune out this year. No lead is too big to overcome. Tune out and you might miss “Somebody” do something special in the comeback.

Don’t tell the people in the game thread in the early innings that!

Akin looks more like Cionel Perez from when we first got him.

I admit I was close to shutting that one off yesterday, the umpire was pissing me off too much and I’d already had a day full of irritation. I chose to keep watching only because Crawford was lifted. Glad I stayed tuned in.

I stop watching sometimes.  I think I stuck with it last night because I was prepared for a loss and I wanted to watch Cowser, Westburg, and Holliday ABs.

It would be nice if we figured out how to score on a SP at some point.

I also stop watching late sometimes, but that's part of what's so exciting with this lineup. It can be easy to turn it off in the 7th or later when Urias-Mateo-Kemp are due up and they're facing a pretty legitimate deficit. Cowser-Westburg-Holliday is just such an exciting 7-8-9 combination.

Bloody hell man, no kidding. There's ignore lists for a reason.

Same. After the third or fourth blown ball/strike call in one inning, I was like, why bother even caring, when the game is hijacked like that?

I'm very happy that we beat not only the Red Sox but the home plate umpire.

Boo this man. Amber was the best. Who doesn’t love her?! Funny, great voice, down to earth, knew the teams history as a local.

Couldn't agree more about Melanie N.  I particularly can't stand when she does the post game interview and at the end always says "go enjoy this one!"   

Amber was great, does anyone remember her Matt Wieters interview where they were facing each other in chairs and he looked about 100 times bigger than her?   Almost looked like a parody, by the way that was the interview where she asked him about who had the best stuff and he said Arrieta, a harbinger of what was to come.

There really are some unique complaints about this woman on this forum sometimes.

We are going to lose games like that probably more times than not, then again it was nice to get one after losing two winnable games in Pittsburgh.

It’s amazing that Westburg was able to have that game after several posters on here last night were acting like he secretly had his leg amputated. 

He played great for someone with a severe hamstring injury.
