The WGOM

It seems to me if you're going to call CC "the big beef patty" (I like it, btw) you'd best capitalize it.

In support of the Injuns, I'm making saag paneer (albeit not with homemade paneer) and chana dal tonight.

Carmona == "The Silent Assassin"
K. Lofton.

why the heck does mlb.com delay it's radio signal so much relative to the broadcast TV signal?

atta boy, Grady.

Not as good as a leadoff walk, of course, but a double works.

Punto bunt there.

Asdrubal Punto.

damn you!!

Pronk is the epitome of the scary looking dude at the plate.

Schilling wants no part of him.

Whassa!? My sock is starting to bleed.

damn. Juuuust missed it.

Highest RISP w/ 2 outs - #2 J. Jones .424. Heh.

Martinez with the wall double. excellent.

Injun bread starting to rise in th' oven...

time to chop some onions, garlic and ginger.

James Taylor listing the Sox list.

Nice voice. Stupid hat, tho.

I'd now burn all my James Taylor disks. If I had any.

Youklis' facials reminds me of a cousin.

Many years ago, said cousin and I are riding back from town in my dad's GMC pickup. Looking ahead, I see an irrigator at work.

NBB: "Bruno, open up your window."

Bruno: "OK".

(Irrigator shoots blast of water directly into Bruno's ear. NBB yucks it up.)

ruh roh.

manny gone fishin on that one.

Crisp / Lugo / Pedroia - add croutons, cherry tomatoes, and avocado.

Carmona struggling with the lil things. Ortiz looms in the distance.

Huge KO by Faust. Yet lefthanded Papi remains.

Bases loaded, 2 outs. Ramirez up to bat.

Cremona whiffs one run in. Manny RBI for standing there.

Creamate continues to struggle. Sox score at will.

Croatoa saved by broken bat.

Garko's going to tie this thing up.

Peralta power!!!!

BOO YAH!

Schill hung her up there in the middle. Nice.

I still think it seems wrong to hear an ad about Christmas parties when you're listening to a baseball game.

Good timing: a Cleveland eye clinic has Peralta as its spokesman, talking about laser eye surgery he had.

Craymonia still strugglin'.

Cleveland announcers note that Manny Ramirez has set a record for most bases-loaded walks in a post-season series.

At least the Clevelands are in this game. Last night was uk-ly. Then again, Carmona has been less than stellar.

More cow-bells!!

As brianS noted, the dead air in some of the breaks on Cleveland radio is annoying. I assume we hear the network commercials, but get dead air in the time alloted for local stations. The Twins network either plays "Twins Territory" spots or public service ads (e.g. "Bert Blyleven, Traffic Safety Private Eye") during those times.

Grady!

Sizemore Sizzles!!!!

Rosenthal: Sizemore is Cleveland's version of Derek Jeter.
SBG: Except he can really field his position, too.

Tom Hamilton (Cleveland radio) says the Boston crowd acts like they think this series is a formality and they won't get excited until the World Series.

Delcarmen brought into a tough spot. If Garko gets into one, this game could be over.

Carmonet seeyabye.

No respose from Gameday/MLBtv.

Papi showing his wheels.

Ortiz shows off his wheels.

What happened to that pitchers' duel a kept hearing about?

Lowell smoke on the water.

Owie. Owie.

Not exactly what Wedge was hoping for when he brought in Perez.

Are they chanting MVP for Lowell?

cat pitcher | sed s/'Perez'/anyone/g

It sure sounded like a great double play.

Nice DP there by th' Native Americans.

Well, I have to get ready for bed so I can get to church in the morning. Have fun tonight, guys.

Tie game. Time to mix it up, mgrs.

I would not want to stand in the batter's box against a guy who is throwing 90mph and not looking at where he's throwing.

Okajima outta control.

Bases loaded for Pronk.

F7-outage there. Well done.

I predict Indians win in 17 and another game that goes to 2 AM.

I dunno. Youk, Papi, ManRam next up.

Dusty Baker to the Reds? What does that mean for the Twins/Reds nexus? Will we be able to unload ALL our crappy veterans on them?

Betancourt arrives in the 7th. He's gonna get at least 4 outs tonight, no?

Milli Vanilli called. They say you can keep the dreads, Manny.

Manny's batting helmet == disease vector. If you touch it, your skin crawls off and dies.

Betancourt wins the face-off.

Nice catch by Coco. AND he replaces his divot.

I am older than Mike Timlin, but not a lot. Where'd he get the juvenation treatment?

How the hell can Lowell play baseball with those two caterpillars above his eyes?

After an evening of troubleshooting, I finally managed to get my intertubes working again. Some game, huh? This is the way playoff baseball should be, only without Buck and McCarver and Fox.

after midnight, we gonna let it all hang out.

damn. after all that, Lowell gets crossed up on...a changeup??

a little asdrubaler to second from Varitek.

the closer in a tie game? is that allowed?

Ever try to get a Windows 2000 laptop to connect to your Windows XP wireless network? No matter what I try I can't access anything in the workgroup, all I can do is get a 'net connection.

Cabrera with a nifty save there.

and the local kid made good TAKES CHARGE on the popup. atta boy, Dustin.

96 mph, low and outside. Unhittable.

Big AB for the Pronk here.

Pronk scoops a 90-mph breaking ball up the middle. And he's done for the night as Josh Barfield gets some face time.

Viktor von Doom with the chance to be a hero.

that didn't take long for Barfield. Papelbon apparently doesn't care about the runner.

yikes. and that takes the bat out of Martinez's hand. It's up to Garko. Interesting strategy.

Lowell makes it look easy.

Crisp swung right through strike three there. Betancourt continues to deal.

me and Julio, down by the school yard.

Dustin the wind
All we are is Dustin the wind.

Pedroia with a solid knock through the hole to left.

WTF? a pinch runner for Pedroia? Why use Ellsbury here??

that's dumb.

and the steal is not contested. somehow, I don't think they'll be walking Youk to get to Papi, however.

another save for the temporary seats for the photogs.

My Big Fat Greek Plate Appearance.

But betancourt finally puts him away on a harmless fly ball to CF. Not nearly as dramatic as the Cleveland PBP guy made it sound.

Wow. This thing is still going on?
