The NYY fans want Brett Gardner.
He looks like he was ripped from a US Marine recruitment commercial.

Hairston and Molina? This oughta end well for the Yankees.
Is that the light at the end of the tunnel, or the headlights of an oncoming train?
It's so beautiful

Yeah Nick Swisher is such a pile of crap
Hairston is where it’s at
Anyone on the east side of the mountains
is FOX not working for you?
It's a little fuzzy but it works
Determined, Jonesing Commentor | Proud proprietor of Wyomingroutes.org & Washingtonhighways.org
Yeah I thought fuzz went away with DTV
but there we go
Determined, Jonesing Commentor | Proud proprietor of Wyomingroutes.org & Washingtonhighways.org
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
Determined, Jonesing Commentor | Proud proprietor of Wyomingroutes.org & Washingtonhighways.org
except other stations come in fine
It’s a mystery
Determined, Jonesing Commentor | Proud proprietor of Wyomingroutes.org & Washingtonhighways.org
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
Is there weather?
Determined, Jonesing Commentor | Proud proprietor of Wyomingroutes.org & Washingtonhighways.org
I think its just Charter being Charter. It went blue and now black.
I think its trying to come through.
My parents have Charter in Idaho
it’s brutally inconsistent
Determined, Jonesing Commentor | Proud proprietor of Wyomingroutes.org & Washingtonhighways.org
The Fark gamethread has people talking about having similar problems.
FUCK THE ANGELS! FUCK THE ANGELS! FUCK THE ANGELS!
The world isn't quite ready...
For mix-tape hero.
I think it looks pretty neat.
Is that the light at the end of the tunnel, or the headlights of an oncoming train?
Absolutely.
I’m tired of paying for music games that get old after about three hours, but I’d love to try it.
I can't wait til Sitar Hero comes out

Plastic guitar game sales were down
have to invent another over priced plastic peripheral to get money.
[DELETED ZOMG NO POLITICS]
"Who's your daddy" is so 2004.
Is that the light at the end of the tunnel, or the headlights of an oncoming train?
Dammit, Goose beat me to it.
Is that the light at the end of the tunnel, or the headlights of an oncoming train?
I can understand rooting for Raul or A-Rod or Jamie, but me personally I'm rooting for Pedro.
FUCK THE ANGELS! FUCK THE ANGELS! FUCK THE ANGELS!
Jamie is so last year.
Plus he hasn’t played like 2 months.
But Pedro is a good choice. I decided on Jimmy Rollins.
If Moyer were active I'd be rooting for the Phillies like no other
that said…GO YANKEES
Determined, Jonesing Commentor | Proud proprietor of Wyomingroutes.org & Washingtonhighways.org
Yeah, I'm rooting for Pedro too.

"Teixeira is in a hole."
I think McCarver and Buck are slowly turning on the Yankees.

We never allowed him to be a true Angel either.

He sounds as about as excited as someone watching CSPAN.
Is that the light at the end of the tunnel, or the headlights of an oncoming train?
He also sounded that way when announcing the Giants-Patriots Super Bowl.
by stupidquestions on Oct 29, 2009 5:23 PM PDT up reply actions
God, that was terrible.
He almost sounded disappointed after the Tyree helmet catch. Imagine a guy like Gus Johnson calling that play.
Is that the light at the end of the tunnel, or the headlights of an oncoming train?
I love Gus. I wish he could do baseball although I'm not sure how well it would work.
by stupidquestions on Oct 29, 2009 5:33 PM PDT up reply actions
I would gladly listen to Gus call a golf match.
Is that the light at the end of the tunnel, or the headlights of an oncoming train?
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.
Is that the light at the end of the tunnel, or the headlights of an oncoming train?
"Beckett looks like he has good control tonight."

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

Nothing Taco Bell makes can be described as good.

I've tried it
Their nacho cheese is disgusting and it’s the same cheese they use in those cheesy gorditas.
Is, I would imagine a saly and hydorgenated oil bomb that makes one feel like death and failure about ten minutes after it is consumed.
by Aaron Campeau on Oct 29, 2009 5:43 PM PDT via mobile up reply actions
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.
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.
I dunno, tastes good to me and the pricepoint is not bad at all. Quick and good service, too.
My ave restaurant of choice is Pizza Brava, though. Good sized pizza slices at a good price and great gyros.
So now we're freeing the black tacos?
I’m not so sure that is a wise move, all things considered.

Ground-Raul double!!
Thank you, thank you.
by stupidquestions on Oct 29, 2009 5:25 PM PDT reply actions
Way to go Raul.
Just after Buck announced him to be a cripple because of his injuries.
The 2009 Pregame Picks Winner and Iron Man of Halos Heaven.com
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.
But you'd have to throw a FB once in a while to change things up
espeically if the pitch can’t get his curve over
Yeah true, but I think Burnett's curve against Matt Stairs might be a pretty good one-pitch battle.
If there is such a thing.
"This is the first time he's pitched against the Yankees.......on the other side of 161st street."
What the fuck does that even mean?
FUCK THE ANGELS! FUCK THE ANGELS! FUCK THE ANGELS!
How am I supposed to know the street names of New York?
or how is the majority of the audience supposed to know that?
FUCK THE ANGELS! FUCK THE ANGELS! FUCK THE ANGELS!
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
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.
FUCK THE ANGELS! FUCK THE ANGELS! FUCK THE ANGELS!
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.

RAUUUUUULLLLLLLLLLLLL

Were his eyes closed??

Raul high fived Victorino's fist...
“Paper covers rock, bitch!”
by killer_ewok18 on Oct 29, 2009 5:46 PM PDT via mobile reply actions
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.
FUCK THE ANGELS! FUCK THE ANGELS! FUCK THE ANGELS!
It was more of a Joe Buck joke. Which is'nt working that well either.

Plus it helps to have a 1B that is good defensively.

It would be more fun and dramatic if the bullpen glass wall shattered
every time a homerun ball hit it.

Imagine Rob catching Burnett
or don’t.

The Yankee fans are too drunk to keep up with the organ playing.
FUCK THE ANGELS! FUCK THE ANGELS! FUCK THE ANGELS!
Ichiro has something to say about that.
by killer_ewok18 on Oct 29, 2009 7:22 PM PDT up reply actions
YES.
I have that video saved, and plan to keep it for the foreseeable future.
by Rachmaninoff on Oct 29, 2009 7:29 PM PDT up reply actions
Haha
I loved that Pedro smile right before the break.
I love how Joe Buck made at least 6 definitive statements during this game about what was going to happen and has then been immediately proven wrong on each of them.
FUCK THE ANGELS! FUCK THE ANGELS! FUCK THE ANGELS!
And I thought this game would go by without a really good umpiring blunder. Ha, ha.
The 2009 Pregame Picks Winner and Iron Man of Halos Heaven.com
I'm glad I can't hear the audio, this looks annoying. What did they call?
I hope you die. I hope we BOTH die.
The call stands as a line-drive caught in the air and runner at second tagged out.
The 2009 Pregame Picks Winner and Iron Man of Halos Heaven.com
In his heart, the umpire knew he made the right call.
That’s all that matters
Only if they fashion them to look like old umpires.
The 2009 Pregame Picks Winner and Iron Man of Halos Heaven.com
That's it!
Android umpires. Get them into the union, we will destroy it from the inside out.
by killer_ewok18 on Oct 29, 2009 7:58 PM PDT up reply actions
6 strikeouts for Arod
This is going to turn into one of those annoying things again isn’t it.
What the fuck are they doing officiating the World Series then?
Don’t they have sick animals to save?
Fuck Anaheim.
Well then...I can't wait for WS Game 3
on Halloween when even on Halloween 2001 they were playing Game 4.
by stupidquestions on Oct 29, 2009 8:27 PM PDT reply actions
Well there's J-Roll's loss
now the Phils just need to win the next three and he’s the new Blowers.
Fuck Anaheim.
Per the ESPN ticker,
A-Rod is the first position player with 3+ Ks in consecutive World Series games. Cue the sharks….

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.”
"Ever tried? Ever failed? No matter. Try again. Fail again. Fail better." - Samuel Beckett http://mvn.com/marinersminors/
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.
