It's nice to be able to close them, as gifs tend to slow down a thread.

Man those Philly fans are a noisy bunch.
The atmosphere there must be awesome

I think you'd be impressed with my speed
It’s funny to think that mac and charlie are actually probably at this game.
Something from the television broadcast?
I’m not putting this together from the radio broadcast
There is a lot of family resemblance between father and junior.
Peter Bourjos is faster than anyone on your team.
This is like 2008 Felix.

A nice play by a 3rd baseman for once.
I was starting to tink Adrian was the only good fielding 3B — and Beltre’s not good, he’s great

Holy shit, a swinging strike!

I think the Rangers will crush either of theses teams, the Phillies or the Giants.

I'm hoping this series goes the distance and that somehow ices the Rangers.

He should have slid head first and around the catcher tagging home with his hand
like a slide around. Maybe Torres would have had a chance.

I can hardly keep all the weird stuff that happened last inning straight.
1. P Jonathan reaches first base on an error by Chase Utley on a routine ground ball
2. Andres Torres hits a deep fly ball that Victorino almost Willie Mayses but instead bobbles in a way that confuses Sanchez and makes him stay at second while Torres is almost gunned out after overrunning first base. Then a sac bunt by a different Sanchez happens.
3. Demon Brumley possesses the soul of the Giants’ third base coach and makes Torres try to score from second and get gunned out by 15 feet on Aubrey Huff’s single up the middle.
4. Buster Posey hits a soft roller that Polanco bare-hands like Beltre and throws to Howard, whose glove was in the baseline. Posey runs into Howard’s glove, the ball hits off the glove and Posey’s back and squirts into the first base coach’s box. Aubrey Huff scores from second base.
Pull him

sometimes
when I’m pitching really horribly I throw as hard as I can, aiming for the batter, and for some reason it’s always a strike on the outside corner. It’s like some power knows my intent and is wagging a finger at me. “nuh uh”
looks like sanchez did that and didn’t get any intervention

Utley really had no business tossing the ball back to the mound but it was a cool gesture.
Peter Bourjos is faster than anyone on your team.
Maybe Sanchez has lingering anger over the way his eyebrows got waxed prior to the game.

Okay, so I left to get some snacks
Could someone briefly go over what happened about the HBP to cause the almost-fight
After walking Polanco to lead off the inning Sanchez nailed Utley in the middle of the back with a breaking ball.
As he went to first the ball bounced up to Utley, and he flipped it back to Sanchez. Sanchez decided to take offense to this and started jawing with Utley, leading to benches clearing and Sanchez being taken out of the game by Bochy.

is it common courtesy for commentators
to not call each other out when they say something wrong? like when dave calls a 78mph breaking ball a fastball and blowers just twiddles his thumbs? cuz sanchez hit him with a fastball. 2-0, if memory serves
by tsunamijesus on Oct 23, 2010 6:32 PM PDT up reply actions
Oh no, I'm just an idiot.
87 mph fastball.
by drblacknwhite on Oct 23, 2010 6:33 PM PDT up reply actions
Utley was hit in the back shoulder blade and the ball bounced down the first base line.
As Utley was jogging to take first base, he picked up the ball on the run and tossed toward Sanchez standing on the mound. The ball hit the mound and awkwardly skipped away in to the infield. Sanchez and Utley exchange dirty looks and then words and it all started up with the benches clearing.

Giants broadcast "In his last at bat, Ross saw nothing but doo doo from Oswalt."
Seriously?
You're dead to me.
"Doo doo"?
Oh, well he hit the shit out of it this time. Oswalt’s pretty damn vulnerable tonight.

Why does it seem like Edgar has been playing since I was a child?

Exciting game, and I just looked at the clock and realized I had to drive somewhere.
SO is this game on the radio? i listen to the Mariners on the radio, but not certain if we would have the NLCS on the radio here -
Help?
I hope your balls get caught in a wheat thresher, Rollins.

I'm really happy with the contrast between the things I'm watching right now
NLCS and Kanye’s movie thing, Runaway. Goofy game with a lot of tease and tension versus the worst concept, done poorly. I think Kanye just saw a ballet for the first time and thought they were neat. At least he’s going all out on his opportunities. UNLIKE SOME PEOPLE
I'm going as Tim McCarver this year.
I’m going to smear myself with shit and just babble.

For Philly pitching.
From what I have watched, the Giants can’t buy a strike in the zone. If there was ever a conspiracy to get a team to win, this home plate umpire is not hiding it too well.
Not buying into all of that -
Officiating has sucked all goddamned year.

That was the Giants developement pat with Sanchez. And look how well that worked out!

They'll just pack some former Mariners managers in there to even out the sod.

I'm happy.
No east coast, and one of my main drinking partners on this coast was a Giants fan before the D’Backs entered the league, so I should be able to enjoy the series.

Ok Giants, the last time you were in the World Series, you were facing an AL West team in the very first trip to the big show.
You failed and as a result, helped create the most insufferable fanbase/team in baseball today.
