Philadelphia vs. Tampa Bay
The streak of lousy World Serieses continues.
by oc on Oct 16, 2008 6:45 PM CDT up reply actions
Except for the fact that the Rays are gonna win this one.
Which makes it epic.
And at least a progressive front office won last year. If there’s going to be a boring sweep, I’d prefer it either be a progressive team or one I care about.
The Rays going from worst to first really cheapens it, for me anyway...
I’m all for the Rays dynasty… but, I would have like a one-year buffer.
by oc on Oct 16, 2008 6:49 PM CDT up reply actions
How does it cheapen it?
Because their front office is genius and the team underperformed last season that makes the championship less somehow?
I hate Boston
they’re the only way this would have been a lousy WS (well… Angels v. Cubs would have been a personal nightmare for me…)
RAYS!
I’m torn. I want them to win, but I almost wish they were home instead of in Bahston.

I'm torn
I really don’t like Philly in any sport and as a Rangers fan I’m jealous of TB. After losing all those years and now they are on the brink of a WS and all we have went through collective as Rangers fans putting in our dues players and fans alike and still no WS let alone a series win.
A bunch of midgets with no arms could pitch better than us. -iorange555
You should root for the Rays.
As validation for what a sabermetrically driven front office can do.
Blah, blah, Sox won last year and have more money.
Either way
When was the last time a World Series was played by two teams in the same time zone?

I ditched last night’s GDT early because it was just HH replying to himself. Of course everyone showed up later.

Speaking in Denton Sat afternoon at a HS gym for free – Enders Game is the subject matter.
Was just talking to a buddy of mine about this book
Is it worth a read at age 25? I know some people that read and loved it in high school, but I didn’t read Catcher in the Rye until college and the relation just wasn’t there like it could have been in my teens. Not saying that book is similar, just wondering
At this rate, he’ll be throwing 107-110 by 2012
Yeah, read it
then you can finish the Ender series of books and also enjoy the Shadow series, too.
Ender’s Shadow is greatness. Bean’s my hero.
Dammit!
I have the baseball channel on 3 channels, but no game.
I need a livestream!

I like how Julio Lugo is the best shortstop in one of these franchise's histories.
During a time of great loss.
For the other, he’s the worst ever, and was there during a time of great success.
Nice play!!!

It's Texas.
A ton of the remarks against Wash I take as thinly veiled racism. Here, and elsewhere on the ’net.
You don’t think?

No, I certainly don't.
Well, at least certainly not that one above. LSJesus has a long and storied history of hating on Wash’s baseball manuevers and calling him out for being a piss poor baseball man.
I was being horribly sarcastic.
Personally I think finding racism in that comment is the most racist thing I’ve seen in a long time.

My comment might have been a little uncalled for, irregardless of the race thing. I just like to take a good dig at Wash whenever I can.

You ever read Moneyball?
The last chapter will make you weep that this man is in charge of our team.
Me? No.
"...my balls are really like a veiny flesh color" blueballlefty on Jun 4, 2008 7:44 PM EDT
"you gonna lose your horse. seriously." FX2
I believe that was actually to LSJ.
It was supposed to be, at least.
Either way.
Also: Every baseball fan should read it. Great insight in to how a front office operates and what goes in behind the mystic walls of baseball. Beyond just the genius of its presentation.
Championships and dynasties were had long before sabermetrics and Moneyball had anything to do with anything.
It’s changed the game, yeah… but, for how long?
by oc on Oct 16, 2008 9:07 PM CDT up reply actions
Considering I already do weep over that all to often
I don’t really think I need to do that.

My presence was required elsewhere
About a year ago, I began a campaign to get one of the local sports teams to “go pink” during Breast Cancer Awareness Month. The volleyball team took me up on it and tonight was the night, so I needed to be there. It was great to see all that pink - a pink volleyball, pink socks, pink hair ribbons and pink tshirts they sold with all the proceeds going to the Susan G. Komen Foundation. Pretty awesome. I’m gunning for the football team next year. :)
And now I’m making brownies…

Funny...very funny
Kinsler and Frankie were the ones who campaigned for us. The boys both agreed. The event happened in a corner of a hotel restaurant after one of the games…with quite an audience. :)

You know what's hilarious?
I could totally see them be the ones campaigning. Having flirted with Frankie (I know, I know) and Kinsler being crazy and bored in general.
Yeah
Kins went to work on CD (bc they’re buddies and all) and Frankie had a chat with CJ. It actually didn’t take too much coercing but they didn’t really think we’d do it. The whole concept seemed silly to them. But we did it and the reward was welllllllllll worth it.

So has Kazmir just been on tonight, or has it been Boston's hitters who've served up some serious fail tonight?
Somebody fill me in, I was out.
The 40 Trumps All!!!
Kazmir has been pretty good
A little shaky start, but has really settled down and his velocity has returned, sitting 92-95 (according to the gun), but probably a combination.
Kazmir has been a little wild at times
But he’s done a good job of keeping the Boston hitters off-balance. It’s a little bit of both, really: Boston’s not hitting and Kazmir’s been kind of effectively wild.
"M’s fans are such weenies." - Zywica
Zaunnie nailed it
Kazmir has been very good, but BOS has missed a few fat pitches.

I just like the sink Masterson brings. Bowden has been more of a fly ball pitcher the last 2 seasons, but either way…

Will someone please explain the point of these Charles Schwab commercials?
The Scanner Darkly animation… what’s the purpose?
No, he definitely could've caught that shit. It hit at the base of the wall. That was a good example of defense making pitchers look bad.
In the boxscore that shit looks like a double, but it just as easily could’ve (and in my mind, SHOULD’VE) been an out.

That might evoke even more tears

No, you're right, I already regret it. Temporary rage.
And I think the Mavs are real long shots. Dirk is still Dirk, but he doesn’t have the talent around him to go all the way. They needed to add a second scorer and they didn’t do it. If they get to the second round of the playoffs, good for them.

I don’t know why I’m still rooting for the Sox. The only reason I was rooting for them was so Manny can whoop that ass. But now that it’s not gonna happen… I guess it’s Ranger bitterness towards the Rays.

9th
lets run Wheeler back out there and get this thing over with. Then tell Maddon if he ever uses Wheeler again, he is fired on the spot.
He has two awesome lefties
Howell and Price. The Red Sox top hitters in the 7th and 8th were left-handed and he kept two crappy righties in there that got shelled.

What the hell
are you doing in here if you are talking to the gf? Get your priorities straight, boy!
Maddon
If he brought in Howell and Price in the 7th and 8th, it would be 7-0 right now. So yes, that was his fault.
What do you mean?
He got three outs in a row. It just happens the third one was thrown into the stands. Can’t blame the pitcher there.
Infield hit?
That is some home town scoring. That is a two base error all the way/
What did he do?
He hit a routine grounder to third base. A MLB third baseman has to make that play every time.
The catch was the hard part
Youkilis is slow as hell. He had all day to make the throw and he fired it straight into the ground. He has to make that play.
AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
I hate the Red Sox.
