So
Anyone want to take bets on how many cars will be overturned in Philadelphia tonight?

And a loss is a loss
And they’ll beat each other up over either.

Considering the Eagles have already lost to the Raiders
If the Phillies lose no car on the street will survive the night unscathed.

Kuroda doesn't look very confident out there.
"Let this big fucker come in and walk the world here." - Dave Niehaus on JJ Putz
That's actually pretty hilarious.
"Let this big fucker come in and walk the world here." - Dave Niehaus on JJ Putz
It's 1-1, right?
All these staggered games are confusing me – and the Angels/New York games are 1-2? 1-3?
"Let this big fucker come in and walk the world here." - Dave Niehaus on JJ Putz
OK,
That’s right. Stupid Angels.
"Let this big fucker come in and walk the world here." - Dave Niehaus on JJ Putz
I'm going to duck 'n' cover.

I love Loney wishing Victorino 'good luck'....
"Let this big fucker come in and walk the world here." - Dave Niehaus on JJ Putz
I am wondering what folks here think of
Philadelphia’s chance against New York, if that’s what happens. Is the caliber of play really that different?
"Let this big fucker come in and walk the world here." - Dave Niehaus on JJ Putz
I have my doubts
I mean, for one thing, Raul vs. that puppet dude from Team America….
"Let this big fucker come in and walk the world here." - Dave Niehaus on JJ Putz
Raul isn't even their 4th best player.
They have a lot of really good players, just like the Yankees.
Fuck the Angels!
I'm just saying
That’s the most glaring issue I can find. Also, I was kind of joking about the Damon puppet…
"Let this big fucker come in and walk the world here." - Dave Niehaus on JJ Putz
Well, if CC pitches well, and makes 2-3 starts, he could shut down the lefty heavy lineup.
But as you know anything can happen.
Fuck the Angels!
For some reason this year
It bothers me to not be able to figure it out. I was rooting for the Rays last year, even though I had the feeling they wouldn’t win. Now, I just don’t know…I do think the Angels are going to get themselves swept, however.

I don't think anyone has much of a chance against New York.

I hesitate to think that as well
But you never know. Maybe the Dodgers are just making Philly look good today…

Personally
I think the NYC mafia is calling the shots

Heh.
I thought at first they were playing Benne Bennassi, but realized it was just Justin Timberlake.

Ahhh excellent coverage by TBS
A complete re enactment of Victorino’s bat throw! WOW… Captivating stuff.
CJ Wilson just referred to them as "The Doyers" via Twitter
For some reason, I find that amusing. Not the term, just that it came out of CJ Wilson, Texas Ranger.

I follow
Or try to follow, all MLB players whose accounts are verified, with the exception of Ryan Rowland-Smith, because I know it’s him.

Recently acquired Danny Gutierrez, who is from LA, has been saying this on his Facebook also
Maybe they’re gay for each other

Is it because it's roughly the same teams?
Day games? TBS?
by oc on Oct 18, 2009 7:28 PM PDT up reply actions
I find TBS annoying
Because they usually don’t seem to know a whole lot about the teams they’re talking about. Also, there is this weird intermediary fuzz on all their broadcasts that are not related to crowd noise, and it’s bothersome.
Outside of that, I find it difficult to care because it’s not the Mariners.
But I’ll still watch, because it’s baseball, and I really don’t like any other sports quite this much.
"Let this big fucker come in and walk the world here." - Dave Niehaus on JJ Putz
Yay!
What do I win?
"Let this big fucker come in and walk the world here." - Dave Niehaus on JJ Putz
I already have like FIVE of those.
"Let this big fucker come in and walk the world here." - Dave Niehaus on JJ Putz
You have a point
I’ll put it next to my 10th anniversary SafeCo train and Kasey Keller bobblehead!
"Let this big fucker come in and walk the world here." - Dave Niehaus on JJ Putz
As well they should.
"Let this big fucker come in and walk the world here." - Dave Niehaus on JJ Putz
Well, I thought this started at 7, so when I got in the car at 7:15, I was a little surprised to hear it was already 8-0.
I did get to hear Dave Campbell’s theory, which is that because of ESPN’s K zone and the other boxes on tv, umpires are more reluctant to call the pitch on the corner, so games go longer.
Well that sounds like its bullshit
I don’t know have accurate K Zone is, but tbs’ pitch trax is laughably inaacurate
"Cliff Lee-- how do you explain your success in your first post-season?"
I am always amazed when an athlete doesn’t just do an EarlyBedard at a question like that.
I'm going to go outside
And tip over a lawn chair.
