Cobb is the Rays starter (I believe)

Please allow me to say how fucking epic it is to be able to type "October" as the date in the title of the thread.

 

[Frank Stallone]

Aaron and Nick Carter. Record breakers. Shaq beaters. Rays beaters.

Already in "shitting my pants nervous" mode.

Good thing we don't play a real game tomorrow :chuckles:

I'm cool with that as long as they win on Wednesday.

Terrible.

Hey look the guy with the huge cans avatar posted in here. That's a good luck charm. All we need now is for PIP to come in here and lay a turd.


eidt: Could also use a mod changing the title, Corey complaining about the title change, Max throwing out an absurd prediction, it going over a couple of people going heads, someone bitching about the number of empty seats at the game, a mod telling people to stop fighting over the attendance and jigo posting a gif of an animal defecating. We need all the mojo we can get.

Hardest I've laughed at a post in a while (on this board).

Not sure if i'm more worried about Alex Cobb or relying on an Aaron & Nick Carter avatar for good luck. Both are scary.

 

[Amherstcavsfan]

We are fucked.

I have no faith in the Indians beating the Rays. And this isn't reverse psychology. I really think they are maybe the worst matchup for us in the MLB.

Holding on to the big gun if a rally is needed. Hint: its Brittany Snow. Fairly attractive actress, if you're unaware.

Yeah, not reverse from me, either, because I really do think this matchup is worse than any other one. David Price and Matt More are worse, but Cobb isn't far off. Attack. Attack. Attack. Attack. Gotta get to their bullpen. He HAS been roughed up at times this year and he does give up 6-7 hits 50% of the time. Need to take advantage of every baserunner.

Need that crowd. Need the Jacobs Field magic of 2007 and the Progressive Field magic of 2013 to combine.

Magic and the Carter brothers... we are so fucked.

 

[Frank Stallone]

Well guys, I guess there's only one thing left to do...

Win the whole... fuckin'... thing.

 

[Frank Stallone]

Also, apparent on twitter that Rays fans believe this will be a walk in the park.
