Brother-in-law scored tickets for tomorrow's game at noon, so my afternoon is booked.

I've only been to one MLB playoff game.  It was a long time coming, and kind of unfulfilling.  It's not that I cared if the Reds won or lost, just that they fell behind early and you didn't get that crazy-ass electric atmosphere where the crowd is hanging on every pitch.

Come to think of it, the NFL playoff games I've attended were also shitty, but I guess that's for another thread.

Suck on that, Ghost of Sparky.

Listened to the game on radio on the way home. Kinda nice to hear Chris Berman call a baseball game. Seems like it's been ages since I saw or heard him do anything but studio NFL analysis.

Wow it has been awhile since I heard somebody say it was nice to hear Chris Berman.

This is getting nerve wracking  :ph34r:

It wouldn't be an Orioles postseason if it weren't.

O's need more hits this inning. They're holding back.

:lol:  This inning is the one benefit of a team of hackers like the O's that swing like an 11 year old on PlayStation:  they can really make a mess of things in a hurry.

This inning needs to end.  It's not doing Britton any good sitting in the dugout for 30 minutes, and with a noon start tomorrow, batting practice is going to come with a complimentary continental spread.  They need to start sending guys to the hotel now.

I don't think I have ever been so calm when a reliever loads the bases at the end of a game.

Anyway that was pretty sweet.  Now they just need to beat that Verlander punk.  Kate Upton cannot save you now.
