ALCS GAME 1: Red Sox at Astros

Man, so true.

Jack? We should be so lucky. Instead of his cocksuck son.

Astros win. Be honest now, were you inside?

The bullpen was terrific, as was Dusty’s use of them. That was the perfect spot to use Raley, and Dusty put him in a spot to be successful. The Sox have some good left handed hitters, so Raley is going to be an important piece of the puzzle.

I changed hats and moved inside. They scored four runs.

Imagine saying this on here about 3 months ago. You would have been slaughtered for the mere suggestion that Raley might play a role in the ALCS.

We’ve all piled on a Raley, including me. But he has a place as a niche reliever. You just have to limit him to those spots. This was one.

I had to go buy more beer this morning.

Game 2 lineup is identical except that Brantley is in left and Yordan at DH.

Did Brantley labor down the line on the dp? How’s his mobility?

I don’t know exactly what his deal was, but whatever it was, it made him slooooow.

For a moment I thought it was Maldonado running to 1st.

Just checked the cooler, I’m set for the UT game. Bourbon worked last night, but I’m looking at a bottle of rum and thinking about going HH today.
