I dunno, Valmy;  it's 1996 all over again, with the bald fucking goon from the Flyers standing in for Bernie Williams.  That was the back breaker right there.  Series is done.

I was having 1997 flashbacks and Armando Benitez against the Indians myself.

Yeah this game was a motherfucking turd sandwich.  The Orioles just are not scoring runs this series.  This thing is done barring an offensive explosion.

It's been a while since I've watched the Tigers...but is it me, or did Prince Fielder manage to eat Antonin Scalia sometime this season?

He may have had a body fat transfer from Rex Ryan.

I probably would have if I were you.  Nothing was going right for them til the 10th inning of game 3.

Now the shoe is on the other foot.  Giants have all the advantages, plus momentum, for game 5.  I'm happy for my dad, but was hoping for a Cards-Reds grudge match NLCS.

Oh I know it. When they couldn't win game 1 with Reds ace knocked out by injury I kinda expected them to lose in three.

Glad to see Soriano gets a strike zone the size of a minivan tonight.

Umps have been calling the outside strike for bothe teams the whole series.

I cannot speak for CdM but this season is about mojo more than anything else.  I think the Orioles are unlikely to get back anytime soon, the Red Sox will not be down for long even if the Orioles continue to play at a high level, so the prospect of them getting eliminated fills me with angst.

It's all doom & gloom here today in Mudville.  There are a few people trying to fake enthusiasm but Reds fans in the office seem to think they have a dead team walkin'.

Playing Yankees in the post-season is just bad mojo, period.

Look at this way . . . the original AL Baltimore Orioles franchise is the Yankees.
So either way, the "Baltimore Orioles" win.

I don't think one season 112 years ago really counts :lol:
