pixies was a nice touch. I might go all pixies tomorrow.
For the record, I have MLBN on now--I just happened to write "drunk and exhausted," and then the rest of the line just bubbled up.
I went with the Pogues in the last game of the Colorado series. Guess I'll have to keep finding situationally appropriate bands whenever the TBS douches become too much to take.
So Charlie didn't even consider putting Chopper back out there for another inning, since it was his first appearance back from a long layoff. Fair enough.
Hail and well met fellows. Winning game 1 is sooooooooo important. The Phillies have been in 16 postseason series in their illustrious history, not including the current one. The Phillies have won game 1 11 times (1915, 1977, 1980 LCS & WS, 1983 LCS & WS, 1993 LCS, 2008 DS, LCS, & WS, 2009 DS), and gone on to win 8 of those series; meanwhile, they have never won a series in which they lost game 1 (1950, 1976, 1978, 1993, 2007).
"I'm in a bar with the games sound turned off and that Cespedes home run still sounded like inevitability."
