Wildcard race getting full-figured
Al:
Well, things looked promising aftah Friday night, but then, ah...
Doug:
Yeah, the rest of the weekend was a real glum dunt.
Mike:
You know we're now tied with the Twins for the wildcahd, right? So now we're chasing the Ray and the Yankees while fending off the Twins.
Doug:
And don't forget the Jays.
Al:
I would insert a sad trombone sound here but, you know, I'm a bit rusty this morning.
Mike:
So does anyone have any good news this Monday?
Doug:
Yeah, I'm dating beauty pageant winnah! She's the second from the left.
...and BigBri put in an appearance last night-what a shock ;O

Well, he needs to take a break from raising Death's Head moths down in his basement.

The Sox still have about 20% odds of winning the wild card. The twins have a 2% chance. I'm unconcerned with the Twins at this point.
However, shut it down and bring up the rookies. Evidently this season is done and the team doesn't even know it yet.

Re: Making playoffs...Would a berth feel like a pity fuck with that one ex you were just drunk enough to call?

Surely giving Red Sox players a chance to date Mrs., Ms. or the two Miss Plus Anmericas would be enough motivation to ensure a playoff berth.
Eh...... maybe not.

Around here, teal dress=win. Apparently not in the Plus America world, though.

our Ace's are just a bunch of deuces and I don't meant #2 pitchers. Just #2.
Hitting is weak, defense is weak, physical conditioning is weak.
Pseudo - I'm thinking from a dude's perspective, the playoff berth would not so much be a pity fuck (we don't really do those, cuz, well, there's really just gettin some or not gettin some), as it would be more of a "Redsox, can you put this paper bag over your head to increase my pleasure?"

I think a playoff berth would be more like autoerotic asphyxiation. A short-lived pleasure that ultimately ends up in choking.

point to Bob

Bob wins. Hands-down, that's the 2010 Red Sox in a nutshell. They might make the playoffs, they might not.
Succinctly put... what f'n difference does it make, they ain't got what it takes to do anything with that plus-sized model!

I think they make the playoffs - the Rays just apparently lost two starting pitchers from a team that has come within a fingertip of being no-hit for a third time this season.
Once we get there, everything depends on the starters, and frankly, I'm pessimistic about that.

Sorry David,it was just too easy.

Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor?
Posted by: Paul in DC | 2010.08.09 at 02:16 PM
Bob may be right.
I am cautiously optimistic, however.
baselessly,

Evidently there is an afternoon game going on. Does anyone actually care? Belated thanks for all the exquisite recommendations on Friday.
Posted by: yazbread | 2010.08.09 at 03:07 PM
So, we are sitting around the computers and TVs watching a group of closet wackers jerk off to one particularly large plus size model wearing pin stripes? with a dwarf suffering from TB running around trying to mount the model wherever he can find an opening?
I just threw up a little.
Posted by: Jeff in NC | 2010.08.09 at 03:11 PM
Sox win; yanks still suck!
Posted by: Steve in MD | 2010.08.09 at 05:51 PM
Split the series in the Bronx. I can live with that.
Posted by: Kaz | 2010.08.09 at 06:11 PM
...and BigBri still sucks.
Posted by: Harwich Rich | 2010.08.09 at 07:34 PM
Goes without saying, HR.
Posted by: Steve in MD | 2010.08.09 at 08:01 PM
If someone had offered you a tied series on Thursday, you probably would have taken it.
I'll take it.
Also: Those are normal-sized women. Take it from a fat guy.

Just wait 'til Miss Plus America gets her own Barbie doll that looks nothing like her- kinda like Christina Hendricks and the Mad Men commemerative Barbie
