Watching would only aggravate me at this point.

(28,795 posts)it would help if the poor cubs could score their first run in, what 95 innings?
Gabi Hayes
(28,795 posts)as I stated, too close to reverse!

(4,742 posts)I really thought they would reverse the call based on the video. But not. Also I swear Lackey's strike zone is the size of a thimble. I'm not really rooting for either team but man it seems like the Cubs can't catch a break.
Gabi Hayes
(28,795 posts)lackey won't last more than five....he's thrown 43 pitches in 2 1/3 innings!
the young guy has thrown about 10

(28,795 posts)before he reached third.
Arietta, or however you spell his name, has not been the same since they accused him of roiding it up last year
check it out
baez swinging at pitches three feet out of strike zone
like trump, I like to exaggerate, but it was up at his shoulders
hahaahah,,, then he scoops a ball off the ground and get a texas leaguer to drop in front of the grocery clerk
this after their first hit in three games.....a twenty foot bunt
first and second nobody out. if they don't score now, they are SURELY toast. it's the bottom of the batting order, so I'm reasonable certain they'll goose egg it
Gabi Hayes
(28,795 posts)innings in a series?
they're already at 20, I think
and the dodgers have a frickin grocery clerk playing left!
actually, that's pretty cool. good for him
cubs can NOT hit a curve to save their lives
chris Bryant looks pathetic up there, waving at jug handles
going with the Indians in the Series, though
Gabi Hayes
(28,795 posts)close to 200 rbi together in the regular season
russell, in particular, looks like a little leaguer against the curve/slider menu he's been fed
Rizzo strikes out again
three innings, make it 21 scoreless in a row, NO hits

(7,286 posts)Haven't watched tv since then.
Got the game on radio go dodgers

(56 posts)I thought you were referring to the Cubs-Dodgers game...
On edit: Congrats to the Tribe...if the Dodgers win, they'll be the sentimental favorite over LA.
Not if Planet Cub goes to the series, though.

(2,795 posts)I can't watch. I hate him so much anyway and the stunts he pulls tonight will just nauseate me. I'm streaming some HBO original series tonight.

(28,795 posts)they actually SCORED!
it took the worst throw from the grocery cook I've ever seen to keep him safe....like thirty feet up the first base line, from about thirty feet from the infield!
the third base coach should be fired for sending him! a decent throw would've had him out by at LEAST ten feet.
perhaps this is an omen from above?
Gabi Hayes
(28,795 posts)which one? the rye is quite dear
love me some rye
ADDISON breaks out of his hideous slump with a 2 run DINGER!!!!!!
put it on the BOAAAARRRRRDDDDD, YESSSSSSS!!!
sox fans will hate that one! I am both, so it's OK
Gabi Hayes
(28,795 posts)was out
GO!
titaniumsalute
(4,742 posts)I really like the Bulliet Rye. Drink it all the time.
Gabi Hayes
(28,795 posts)the basil hayden is smoother than the bulliett bourbon, if that's what it was.
like the BH better than templeton rye, as well. know the story about that stuff? my sister told me. she's from Iowa
can't remember it now, but it has to do with gangsters, I think

Gabi Hayes
(28,795 posts)I'll save up for Christmas
hahahaaaa teacup just expanded
dodger thought he got screwed, yelled at the ump!
guess he didn't care when Kershaw got every call within six inches of the plate
titaniumsalute
(4,742 posts)My local bourbon bar pours a 4 oz for about $7.
Gabi Hayes
(28,795 posts)11 bucks a regular shot for anything above rail here
meanwhile, cubs turn a double play ball into a two run double that makes it about thirty feet into the outfield
no more baseball for me
dodgers put in a reliever that should have started the game
throwing 97
titaniumsalute
(4,742 posts)Small pour is 3 to 4 oz and large pour is 5 to 6.
COl Taylor $7 small and $11 for large.

Direct TV documentary. McNamara thing. Seen it before but it is compelling. Boy, he should have stayed at Ford.
Gabi Hayes
(28,795 posts)couldn't finish that book....too fricking depressing
I think a Hunter Thompson doc is on Netflix
that was pretty good
you could hit some gary busey stuff on youtube. what a maniac!
you guys rich, or something, with the 12 year old stuff?
should be voting for trump, with all that glitter liquor
I keed
Gabi Hayes
(28,795 posts)cooper a very hard time, reaming him and all of cnn
must watch TV
so glad I'm skipping the shitshow
he has all the journos laughing their asses off!
GulfCoast66
(11,949 posts)Depressing. And I was born in 66 so have no memory.
Weller 12 year is impossible to fine. But still affordable when you do. I got 1.75Litre for $55. And only drink it on special occasions.
Like when Hillary is insuring her Presidency. And you can bet I will be drinking on November 8.
Gabi Hayes
(28,795 posts)will look for it.
youngster, I lucked out of the draft with a high number, and have been highly politicized since then.
I work in a school, so we're closed election day....polling place....and I can't decide whether to take a business day
on Weds. we should know by then what's going to happen, unless HRC shits herself tonight
hoping for a day off to sleep away the congeners. that's the problem with our colored liquors
GulfCoast66
(11,949 posts)But if you do, it will be the best Bourbon you have ever had. Here in Florida each ABC liquor store MAY get a bottle or 2 on their Thursday delivery. If not here in the first 20 minutes you are out of luck. But regular Wellers is easier to find and really, really good. Better than Makers and 5 dollars cheaper. It is aged 5 years vs. 2 for Makers. And I really like Makers.
And I always take off the day after a presidential election. Even when I know we will lose. I am an election junkie.
You have a very nice evening.
Gabi Hayes
(28,795 posts)thanks for the tip
GulfCoast66
(11,949 posts)The fate of the world is on the line tonight with the debate, and we are both following it. But we find time to talk about good bourbon.
It is a good night.
