Did we ever figure out which of these guys sounds like James Woods?
I know it was discussed in the last thread, but did we ever figure out who it was?
Also, one of the other guys sounds like Ernest Borgnine at times.

If you’re watching this tvants feed

Greg Zaun sounds just like Jan Michael Vincent used to in Airwolf.

Local channel in socal
Channel 56 used to air reruns of the A team, Airwolf, even Knight Rider from when I was 10 to about 12. I used to love those old shows more than anything else on TV (well, Airwolf and the A team anyway).

Ok guys this is an exercise in futility.
Any WS not involving the Yankees, Red Sox, Cubs, Cardinals or Mets is a terrible WS when it comes to the nation wide impact.
And I seriously can’t believe Roy Williams is a freakin’ Dallas Cowboy! Woah.
by TxStCa on Oct 14, 2008 8:31 PM CDT reply actions 0 recs
Why
Does it have to be two of baseballs “elite” or “classic” teams in the WS for it to be a good WS? I don’t get that. If you’ve got two good teams, you should have a good series. One of the problems with the baseball media is they cover certain teams way too much while totally neglecting the others. The way I look at it, a series like a Rays/Phils matchup could be a godsend, as it might force them to change that a bit.

by TxStCa on Oct 14, 2008 8:35 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs
That's what I thought
I’m talking out loud more than anything.
To expand a bit on my point, if you have one or two “unknown” teams in the WS, you also have the potential to pull in another base of entirely new fans and watchers. Yeah, you may not get the entire Yankee or Red Sox nation tuned in but you’d spark a whole lot of new interest in someplace like Tampa… or, someday maybe Dallas.

Agreed. I might argue they’ve taken what the Rays do and have done it even better. Partly because, with all do respect to the Beane Man, they’re run by people who actually came from Wall Street and are educated in market analysis and exploiting inefficiencies.
While Beane is a smart guy, and has surrounded himself with smart people, he’s a former ball player and doesn’t come from the same pedigree as the Rays’ front office.
Obviously the Sox have been more successful than Oakland, but they’ve had astronomical payrolls. They Rays have done it closer to the source.

If I remember correctly, the Red Sox lost Game 3 of the 2004 ALCS to the Yankees 19-6, then reeled off 4 straight wins. They’re not dead yet.
I would love to see the Rays sweep them at Fenway. I don’t want to give Boston any hope. At any rate, I’m still enjoying the ride.

Mike Timlin means nothing to this team. Seriously he brings nothing positive to the table. You knew 100% what was going to happen when he entered the game. I would rather have had Paul Byrd to be honest pitching. The only reason why Timlin was in the game is because they ran out of pitchers. And the only reason Timlin is even on the roster is so he can pitch in blowout games, so even if he gives up 4-5 runs it won’t even matter, that way the more effective relievers won’t have to pitch when the game doesn’t matter. Unfortunately he was forced to pitch tonight.
This was the type of game that the home team was going to win. If this game was at Fenway.. the Sox woulda won.

Rocco Baldelli coming back from tragic illness to hit a home run in the playoffs is insignificant. . .

This one is the absolute best.
I’m still confident that the Red Sox can win this series. I mean honestly they face Andy Sonnanstine tomorrow. He is their worst pitcher, he doesn’t have good stuff at all. I would be SHOCKED if the Red Sox don’t knock him around tomorrow. He’s a good pitcher for Ellsbury and Ortiz to break out of their pathetic slumps against. So, basically, what I’m saying, is the Red Sox have a PERFECT chance to even the series tomorrow, with Game 5 still to be at home. Sonnanstine is mediocre at best.. has nothing overpowering.. anything short of an offensive explosion against him will be unacceptable. Tim Wakefield certainly knows the importance of this game, and he has done good against TB in his career so look for him to come up big. He’s pitched in some pretty big games before too (2003 ALCS Game 1 and 4), and the 1993 NLCS. He hasn’t pitched in a while so he has had some pretty good rest, his last 2 regular season starts were solid so hopefully he’ll continue where he left off. Certainly the Red Sox know what they have to do to win, this team is just too professional and experienced to drop two straight league championship games in a row at home. They were one of the best home teams in major league baseball this season, another reason to believe they’ll win tomorrow.

I just liked the caption, and I haven’t found a better picture to match it to yet.

Is it just me
or is the gun TBS is using juiced?
Garza was throwing 96 consistently the other night, and Edwin Jackson just came in throwing 99. I know it’s possible that everyone is just all jazzed up for the playoffs (and also that EJ went all out since it’s a short relief appearance), but are they really this jazzed up?

And didn't they have Broxton hit 101?

It just means
that when they’re airing our playoff game, they’ll have Feliz hitting 105. I’m cool with that :)

You know
Canadian TV has some pretty damn funny commercials. A helluva lot better than the majority of our commercials.

Edwin Jackson stinks
I think he’s got Franklyn German disease: walkacitis.

And Drew swinging
Welp… the Rays still have to close it out Thursday. The Sox have Dice-K, Beckett and Lester lined up for the final three games, as needed – the Rays still can’t afford to let them prolong the series like the Indians did last year.

if that was burgundy or purple.

Those suits always have me thinking that he has to be openly gay
But looking at his wikipedia page, it would seem it’s exactly the opposite.

There's not a gay man alive who would be caught wearing that shit.
Dressing flamboyantly fabulous = gay guy.
Dressing flamboyantly horrible = sad pathetic shtick from a talentless reporter trying to carve out a niche in a tough marketplace.

kinda had a feeling
the rays were going to get to the world series just to add to the rangers futility. so what does that make it only us and the expos/nationals that have never played in the series? all 4 exapansion franchises that came in in the 90’s will have been there too.
