2014 World Series thread

Haha. That's awesome, pern. Yes, a bit of unfortunate phrasing.

 

Someone above just quoted how Bonds gave Felix Rodriguez the finger as he came in to Game 6. Not the best greeting coming into a game. Did it cause him to give it up to Spezio? Probably not, but it could have been a better greeting.

 

Oh my, that could be the best response of the thread.

 

It should be (Gets His Tits Lacerated In) 'Big Games' James Shields

 

This thread had gone Full Intangibles.

Never go Full Intangibles.

 

You got that right.

 

A big reason the Red Sox finally won it in 2004 is that they had been freed of Ted Williams for some time at that point.

 

You know, Shields pitched pretty well in Game 5. Not nearly as well as Bumgarner, but if he's going against any other pitcher, it's probably a tie game when he gets pulled.

 

The guy got a nice compliment from his manager after a great performance years ago and broadcasters echoed it even when it wasn't appropriate. Now people want to act like he gave the nickname to himself and pissed on James Worthy.

 

I always thought Worthy was better with the nickname Two Dames James anyway.

 

It's hard to find a story about Steve Spurrier without the writer trotting out that tired-ass "Ol' Ball Coach" label, and it's usually up there in the lede somewhere. And Spurrier DID give that nickname to himself.

 

Actually, Spurrier gave himself the nickname "Head Ball Coach," or more correctly "This Head Ball Coach." Somewhere that got garbled to "Old Ball Coach."
