Hairston and Molina? This oughta end well for the Yankees.

Yeah I'm sort of surprised too

But I see fuzz- I’m guessing it has to do with the local cable lines- so it’s clear from the local cable antenna to Denver, but not from the cable antenna to my house

I live in ellensburg and it's just frozen.

FSN used to do this all the time, usually at most critical times, like opening day.

You likely have one of the following

1) Either your transmitter sucks
2) Your antenna is in a less than optimal placing
3) Your antenna isn’t screwed into the coaxial tight enough

3) is a very common problem

Plastic guitar game sales were down

Jamie is so last year.

Plus he hasn’t played like 2 months.

But Pedro is a good choice. I decided on Jimmy Rollins.

Yeah, I'm rooting for Pedro too.

"Teixeira is in a hole."

I think McCarver and Buck are slowly turning on the Yankees.

When the Cardinals won the World Series in 2006,

you would never have guessed Joe’s dad was their announcer for 30+ years. Not an ounce of excitement in his voice, just straight reporting.

I would too, if I had to work with McCarver.

I liked Keith Law's line of thinking on that:
If I wouldn’t pay $1 for a taco, why would I want it for free? Clearly, I didn’t want it in the first place.

I think it is funny they call it "Black Jack Taco" stealing the thunder away from Jack-In-The-Box

to have a competing black taco.

But their other stuff is good!

That new chicken ranch gordida is a pretty good deal for $1.

No, I always feel pretty good after eating it.

The worst feeling is A Burger Place but it’s also delicious so I’m not complaining about it.

by lailaihei on Oct 29, 2009 5:45 PM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

Yeah, I tried it for the first time last week.

Pretty tasty, but my stomach definitely felt bad from about 5 to 35 minutes after the meal.

Next time I won’t get barbecue fried onions or whatever, that was a little too much with the bacon and cheese on it, too.

Just after Buck announced him to be a cripple because of his injuries.

Why would you ever throw Stairs a fastball?

FUCK THE ANGELS! FUCK THE ANGELS! FUCK THE ANGELS!

by Goose on Oct 29, 2009 5:27 PM PDT reply actions   0 recs

Burnett's curve is 1.47/C

That mix is bad news for Stairs.
I’m not saying Stairs wouldn’t hit one of 20, just that no amount of practice in timing against it would give him a good chance against a steady mix of Burnett’s curves.

Ok, not even that is true, but if I had to choose one batter I wanted to get out by only throwing curveballs it would probably be Stairs.

How am I supposed to know the street names of New York?

or how is the majority of the audience supposed to know that?

The majority of the audience

and the majority of the world, for that matter, lives in New York.

by killer_ewok18 on Oct 29, 2009 5:39 PM PDT via mobile up reply actions   0 recs

8+ million is far from the majority of the world.

And since it’s the World Series I would argue thats it’s about an even New York vs non New York split.

Announcers say the same shit all the time about other stadiums.

People just notice it because they want to get annoyed when it’s New York.

Joe Morgan once again urges the Phillies to "make something happen"

he really wanted Victorino to steal 2nd when Rollins was on 3rd.

So I thought excited fist pumps were for actual exciting moments.

Not regular inning ending strikeouts.

Observations from a Game Two spent in a New York bar:

1. Until you have passed three hours with New York Yankees fans, in close confines, drinking beer, you can’t actually fathom how obnoxious they are capable of being.
2. From Ken, “Joe Girardi is like Voldemort with a nose, which makes the Yankees $300 million dollar Death Eaters.”

So that blown double play call seemed really bad at the time

But the swing in WE was only about 7%, and with Rivera coming in, it was even less significant than that. Umps got lucky.
