ALCS game 1 (liveblogging, innings 1-3)
I'm not allowed to talk to my baseball buddy ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
tangleofthorns pretty much until this series is over, so you all get to listen to me instead.
Memo to the sports guy on the radio: don't tell me the game starts at 7:30 when it starts at 7:00, asshold. I missed the top of the first, thanks very much, and my boys are the visiting team.
I don't have a lot to say about the bottom of the first. Feh.
Or the top of the second, for different reasons.
Bottom of the second: You know, I'm speaking as an Indians fan, now. But I'm not sure I agree that these have all been strikes. Kielty and Varitek went down in three pitches each, and the first two to Crisp were called strikes as well, and I want Sabathia to strike these guys out, and ... I'm a little skeptical. (At least Varitek swung at the second pitch, so it may or may not actually have been a strike. And Crisp looked at a couple of balls before he struck out swinging.)
Top of the third: See, and I think there are some pitches here that I would call strikes that the umpire isn't. But I'm not the expert, am I. This baseball umpire couldn't tell you if a guy was corner-sweeping (which, incidentally, is no longer illegal). (Lowell makes a nice catch. They really should keep him.) Grady Sizemore. Could he be any cuter? Even if he does - which I wish the team would stop doing - SWING AT BAD PITCHES.
commercial.
