I looked at my phone at 10:07 last night and there was a text from the Original Riblah. It read: “The Royals… Really? For once I can be sorry for someone else.”
Homo Unerectus.
I had already switched from the game to more recreational activities (I was watching Deadliest Catch because I couldn’t find last week’s Whale Wars on demand) so I switched back over to the game and the suckbag Red Sox were getting womped around by the Royalty of Kansas Effing City. The best and most dominant bullpen in recent Sox history, filled with all guys I could name (what’s the last bullpen from any team that you could name and like all the guys in) gets tomahawked by the Cornfield Puffs.
Last night sucked super hard. A guy who is notorious for out drinking AA HOFers and then urinating on my micro fiber couch (with micro fiber, you just wick the urine away) texted me to tell me how sorry he was for my ball club. You see, to people in Kansas, there is this odd sense of semi-rivalry (it’s only to people in Kansas) because they constantly demand that someone else remembers Damon cam from there and that they were the ones Lester no-hit.
Last text transmission from Riblah: “Good luck in the ninth, I don’t want KC getting any more false hope.”
Done, myself and some chicks will be cheering them on from the stands this evening. Hold the rain, add beer, Go Sox.

Why can’t tito sense momentum? He waits until the other team’s momentum results in (multiple)runs before he makes a goddamn pitching change.
If a starter gets scored on in the 5th, 6th, or 7th inning, than it’s time to change… History has shown that a once a pitcher with a high pitch count gets scored on mid-game, they will continue to get scored on at an exponential rate… because the other team has momentum. In shipdriving, we say that inertia is the force we want to move and momentum is the force we want to stop. Should be the same for baseball, only inertia would be the ball on papi’s bat.
Make the stupid pitching changes earlier. Or just start wakefield and finish with papelbon every single game. No big deal. The moose can handle it.
