Anyone else not have the gameon TBS?
And instead have some old blooper show?

Yes.
I just turned on the Rays feed on Gameday Audio. I think the announcer said that TBS was having tech difficulties, and the game “might” be delayed a bit.

Addendum
TBS has “power issues” in Atlanta. They have started the game. Crisp bunt single on first pitch.

wow this is inexcusable......and the steve harvey show to boot!?

Yikes
I wonder if they’re going to go ahead and start the game or wait for TBS indefinitely . . .
MLB.TV is still blacked out even though the game isn't on TV.

Pulling for the Rays
even though watching another expansion team get to the WS would suck, watching Boston get there again would suck worse.

MLB.com
Not only can we not see it on TBS pretty much every site related to MLB.com is nonresponsive or crashed due to all the pissed/confused fans.
So now
I can’t even get the audio stream thats included on mlb.tv subscription….aarrgggh
How do you people who don’t pay for Extra Innings or MLB.tv survive with just gameday?
I'm listening to the Rays radio broadcast on mlb.com

Good lord
Crazy how this same Upton was benched for lack of effort and hustle…and he’s basically making a bid for the next Mr October in his first postseason appearance
This is terrible
I guess the whole country is down…
LMAO
I hope TBS never gets to carry a playoff game after this fiasco
Could you imagine if this happened and it was the CUBS that where up 3-2 on someone in the NLCS? Oh Boy
Game is on TBS now
"Every team will win 60 games, every team will lose 60 games, it's what the team does in the other 42 games that decides the season."
Do you think this could be grounds for MLB to rescind TBS' broadcast rights?
Hey, it's a new century!
probably not
But if it was Yankees/Red Sox the entire network along with Ted Turner would be kicked out of the country.
he could go live at the UN....

I don't understand why they didn't broadcast play by play over the phone on TBS.
I remember the Cubs doing that during a game with technical difficulties.
Wouldn’t that be better than a re-run of the Steve Harvey Show?
Hey, it's a new century!
And a fan's nightmare. And a player's nightmare...

Kotsay
Is it just me or does Mark Kotsay(and Nick Swisher) always look like they just took a bong hit?
Has anyone noted how UGLY Maddon's glasses are?
Don’t they pay him enough to get something better?

It's called "FieldTurf" and the Rays literature claims it is "natural looking"
but it isn’t.

That's what I thought it looked like
Our high school indoor batting cages have that, It’s OK, much better than Astroturf but not as soft as real grass, It’s a real bitch to clean sunflower seeds out of it though.

They can call it whatever they want...

If you mean to other baseball teams...yeah, absolutely...

Yeah I definitely mean any team other that the Chicago National League Ball Club

Without the feelings of utter pain and depression I had....
"I'm not much of a chemistry guy, you know. Chemistry to me is a pinch-hit double with the bases loaded"--Jim Frey, Chicago Tribune, 1985.
I do....
I wanted the bad things to happen to Beckett and the Sox….F Josh Beckett
The best defense is a good offense.....Lou Pinella...still hasn't managed the Cubs to a post season win. D. Lee still doesn't have a post seasson RBI for Cubs...ditto for Soriano
Stop me if you've heard this one before...
…but a team is up 3-1 in a LCS, lose game 5 on the road, and then their sure handed shortstop makes an error that leads to a big inning that ultimately gives the other team the lead… oh, and that other team has Josh Beckett…
I think I’ve heard this one before…
One thing you learned as a Cubs fan: when you bought you ticket, you could bank on seeing the bottom of the ninth.

The Rays were also 7 outs away from going to the world series with a 7 run lead...
and blew that game, and maybe this game too. I’ve seen that movie before also.

Mix a little fan interference in there and we have a MATCH!

I dunno where all my Badger fans are...or sue...
…but it’s a bad year to be a Badger. This is the worst team I’ve seen in my lifetime.

What minor league do they play in?
Fall Instructional League?

I think it's a sport called college football
Badgers don’t understand (yet?) that USC will always be a better team.

I've heard of that
that’s where they put all kinds of pads and helmets on and then brag about how hard they hit each other. If those guys had any real balls they would play rugby.

Any of the pre-barry seasons were pretty horrible.

I'm not old enough
nor was I a Badger student or alum during those days.

Red Sox will win game 7
The Rays are too shaken. This series belongs to Boston.

Yeah, we've seen this before, haven't we?

Could you imagine...
…being a passionate Rays fan right now? (I doubt that many exist) Hmmmm…sounds like ’84 or ’03
"I never drink water because of the disgusting things fish do in it" -W.C. Fields
Or any of the three other times the Red Sox have done this to another team.
1986, 2004, 2007.
Prediction: Red Sox win tonight in a blowout.
"That's my opinion and if you don't like it, well, I have others." ~ Groucho Marx
WOW...the Red Sox could pull off another miracle.
The difference between the Red Sox and the Cubs is that the Red Sox play to win and NEVER give up in the playoffs. The Cubs just seem to play “not to lose”. Once you get them down, they are toast. We need someone who can step up in the post season-ANYBODY PLEASE. For the Red Sox it was Drew on Thursday, and Varitek last night. Maybe we should bench Soriano during the playoffs-didn’t we still have a winning record when he was out of the lineup?
GO RED SOX!!
"Hey-Hey! Home Run! Attaboy Ronnie!" ~ Jack Brickhouse
Once the Cubs win the pennant and World Series...
…then you’ll see them play as loose and resilient as the Red Sox have since 2004.
Never, but NEVER, put ketchup on a hot dog.

I tend to think...
…once they win a pennant, it will be a huge monkey off of their back. Considering they haven’t been there since 45, this is a key stepping stone to getting this particular core group over the hump.
IMO, if they would have gotten to the world series this year, they would have played more relaxed in the series and I think the same would apply the next couple of years.
"I don't like them fellas that drive in two runs but let in three" Casey Stengel
The problem is winning the NLDS...
..they are the only team in the postseason that didn’t win a single game.
