Anyone still hopeful?

Mike:
So two questions...

 

---

Mike:
One. Do the Red Sox and Rays both win today and force a single game playoff?

 

---

Doug:
No.

 

---

Al:
Nope. Rays win. Sox lose. Stare abjectly into a rented sunset.

 

---

Mike:
...

 

---

Doug:
What's the 2nd question?

 

---

Mike:
Well, the 2nd question was based on a different response than the one you guys gave to the first one.

 

---

Al:
So there is no 2nd question?

 

---

Mike:
Correct.

 

---

Doug:
Makes perfect sense as there are no longah any questions; there are just facts.

 

---

Al:
Yeah, like the fact that the Rays are only a modest 16-10 in Septembah yet that was enough to catch the Red Sox.

 

---

Mike:
Of course, if the Sox do manage to get into the playoffs and then somehow turn it around and staht kicking ass, you're gonna look back at your emotions now with chagrin.

 

---

Doug:
No I won't. That's the biggest canard going. You feel what you feel. And if history proves you wrong, nobody fucking remembahs because everyone is caught up in the joy of it all.

 

---

Al:
Seriously, nobody was denied admittance to the Duck Boat Parade for giving up on the Sox when they went down 0-3 in the 0 '04 ALCS.

 

---

Doug:
Likewise, when this turns out to be the worst collapse evah, we can look back at April and say, "See, we were right all along."

 

---

Mike:
Your logic if all twisted.

 

---

Doug:
Yeah, so fucking what if it is? Epic collapses will do that to you.

 

---

Al:
Heads will roll.

I hare Showalter...I hope somewhere in the future un some nursing home, when he is drooling and soiling himself, he has a CNA who is wearing a Red Sox t-shirt and say, "sorry, grandpa, no pudding for you tonight..." the puts a pillow over his face.

WTF?

I thought it would go to a playoff game with Johnny Damon hitting a walk-off dinger in the 9th.

So much for Tampa being "offensively challenged". Can I nominate our 3rd base coach to be at the top of tonight's "Goat list"? Why did he let Scutaro try to score from 1st? Auuggh.

This wasn't a single game loss. This was the biggest collapse in the history of baseball.

[granular_serene]

the horror.

the

horror.

Talk about your 180 degree turn of events. UFB.

[Bob]

For sale: two Red Sox ALDS tickets. Fall on your face value.

[Victor Conte]

Who were all those people at the Trop celebrating the Rays win? Do they not know there're 80 other home games?

[Bob]

The trouble with jumping on the bandwagon in St. Pete is that it takes you directly to a hospice.

[yazbread]

Got to get me one of those sunsets.

[Bob]

I think we should all go in on a sunset timeshare, yazbread.

[Primitive Screwhead]

Well, I don't have to wax nostalgic about the horrible Red Sox years, anymore. I sure did miss that pre-2004 sting of failure. So.... How about those Bruins?

[Devine]

Jesus. Wow.

[Lazlo Freem]

Death to CHB. Wot a fucking rotter.

[Rob in CT]

So how do I explain the rather sizable dent in my hotel wall from the clothes iron after the World Wide Leader switched from Baltimore to Tampa and 5 minutes later all hope is dashed?

Mother Ducker! This is not fun...

[soxdownunder]

It breaks your heart. It was designed to break your heart.

RIP BG

[Louclinton]

Um, not meant to be, I guess.

dagger.

[pseudosanity78]

Wow, you folks are up late! Hope nothing bad happened!

[Rob in CT]

Ha! Thanks for that, pseudo. I needed a good laugh.
