OT: Bob Sturm's post in the Newberg Forums.

I’m incredibly tempted to register just to call him a cock.
I had a little fun with his blog entry, and NMLR comments.

i just read it and posted in the saturday thread… wow it just boggles my mind the assumptions made there
"I'm against picketing, but I don't know how to show it." - Mitch Hedberg
Yeah, several omissions...
He left out Byrd, who was better than Soriano this past year, and he probably should have counted by Cruz and Murphy, since they were never both active. You also have to deduct a little from DeRosa, whose WARP as a full-time RF’er would be lower than as a 2B (which is where he spent most of this season), and from Gonzalez, who wasn’t as good a hitter as Bradley this year, but is getting more WARP points for playing 1B rather than DH.
He also omitted Feldman and Harrison from the Daniels rotation, which would make it better.
The difference isn’t nearly as great as that little demo suggests.

Game?
I flipped the game on, or thought I did, what channel is it on?

On the bright side
At least this isn’t a NASCAR rain delay.
If it where a NASCAR rain delay, they’d go around interviewing every stinking driver and crew chief for 2-3 hours while the guys in the broadcast booth crack lame jokes. Somehow, since you likely have nothing better to do, you find yourself sitting there through the entire ordeal waiting for the rain to stop and the track to dry, only to find they’d finally decided they’re not going to race that day and are rescuduling the event on some obscure cable channel for the next day.
With the World Series, they at least have enough respect for the vewer to at least go to some sitcom reruns to provide some semblance of entertainment (although I admit, I’d rather watch COPS than “Till Death”).

Apparently, Bud thinks they're still going to play tonight:
“We’re going to play baseball tonight,” commissioner Bud Selig said at 8 p.m., about a half-hour before Tampa Bay and Philadelphia were scheduled to begin. The Rays and Phillies were tied at one game each.
“The front is going through. We have three different weather services, and we’ve been talking to them all day,” he said.
Baseball officials thought the rain would let up to allow a start at about 9:15 p.m., but estimates kept getting moved back. The National Weather Service said the rain was to taper off after midnight.

20th Annual Warehouse Halloween Party tonight
In full-on Joker outfit…long purple coat I scrounged at a resale shop, wacky shirt, ugly yellow tie, and some neat old worn out brown leather shoes. Of course, I will be in full makeup, scars, green hair and all. I’ll try to get some cool pictures to post online.
I was really hoping for a rain-out, cause I’m gonna miss the game.
Have fun, All!

Philly fans ain’t much different than Red Sox fans though. Always this bullish when the team is winning, but they’ll turn on you in a hot second.

Good pitch to Howard there.
Get Burrell.

Done.

To have a shortstop with a little bit of range. Michael Young wouldn’t even come near that ball.

Also
Jamie Moyer’s stance at the plate reminds me a lot of David Murphy’s.
"[Tim McCarver and Joe Buck] are the Gabe Gross and Ben Broussard of the broadcasting booth." - dirkatron
If they're going to continually use Rocky music
They could at least break out “Eye of the Tiger”.
"[Tim McCarver and Joe Buck] are the Gabe Gross and Ben Broussard of the broadcasting booth." - dirkatron
Geez
Moyer’s strike zone seems to be juuust a tad bit larger than Matt Garza’s. All those FOX goons could talk about at the start of the game was how important it was for Moyer to get calls on the the corners… it’s almost like they knew he’d be getting the corners handed to him on a platter.
"[Tim McCarver and Joe Buck] are the Gabe Gross and Ben Broussard of the broadcasting booth." - dirkatron
I noticed that too
In fact I remember seeing one of Garza’s on the rectangle that was WAY closer than one of Moyer’s and it was called a ball.

Also...
The reason why I learned to type so fast (I type about 100 wpm) is because, as a kid, I would go buy those books of BASIC game programs and sit at the computer and type them in, since I never had the money to go buy real games.
Sitting there day after day, typing line after line of BASIC code (and knowing you have to go back and try to find the typos if it doesn’t work right) is a great why to learn to type.

I did that, too. My favorite was the one that played "The Mexican Hat Dance’ and had an ASCII hat jumping up and down on the screen.
Since ours had no disk drive or hard drive, I had to type in the entire program every time I wanted to see it. I was probably eight or nine, so it took me HOURS.

I NEVER buy donuts. It was our Sunday morning thing growing up. I thought they must be so expensive because my dad never wanted to buy them. Then a few weeks ago when people helped me move, I was dismayed to discover how cheap a dozen donuts really is.
OK!

Wow.
Moyer is just ownershipping the shit out of the Rays tonight. This is sad.
It’ll be very, very interesting to see how the Rays react to seeing Moyer a second time in 5 days if a game 7 is needed though.
The 40 Trumps All!!!
Moyer's gotten every call he needed tonight
And the Rays lineup sat up there anf flailed at all the pitches he wanted them to. Just a pathetic showing by the Rays offensively tonight.

Boy the Phillies are blowing up
If they don’t come back and win this game, it’s going to be a major blow to them momentum-wise.

Care to explain why?
The only reason I can think of is that baseball is still being played at 12:30 a.m.
Fire Todd Dodge. Seriously. 45-17 to Troy. 0-12 is only four games away.
It's 1:40 out here.
The fact that the World Series is on this late is pretty cool to a night owl like me, and the fact that it’s a really tightly contested game that’s tied in the bottom of the ninth is pretty sweet.

Thought so
Late Night baseball is the best, that’s probably the only reason why I like Texas being in the Al West. Lots of 9:00 starts.

not good

Rays
I know the Rays were a good defensive team this year, but they have been awful in the postseason. And Navarro has had about 3 or 4 passed balls where he hasn’t even been close.
Rays FAIL
I don’t think they’ll get out of this inning before someone hits a sac fly or an RBI groundout.

Balfour will probably throw another one the backstop
When he misses his target, it is not by inches, it is by feet. At at 97 mph, the catchers are helpless.
Wow, You're going out on a limb.

Yes.
If there were already some outs, I would feel better about it. As it is, there’s three outs left to get here.

That was a TERRIBLE throw

Longoria's little looper over Navarro's head there?
That was comical.

Ahh
That looked like it could’ve been going foul.

Rays suck

Crappity crap crap.
Eva should’ve either let that shit go and see if it went foul or… I dunno. That was a nigh unpossible play to make. Matt Kata couldn’t have made that freaking play.

Do not take His name in vain on this board.

Forget Longoria
Navarro is the guy that needs to be crucified here. That throw to second base after the wild pitch was horrible and uncecissary. It was the very definition of FAIL.

I didna mean to crusify Eva.
That was a ridiculously tough play.
I didn’t get to see a clean slo-mo replay. Does anyone have a more educated opinion on whether it would’ve stayed fair?
And, yah, Dapper Dionner should be murder-death-killed for making that throw.

Oh there'll be replays galore within the half-hour on MLB.com I would imagine
I’ll have to go check for some.
Man, I am pissed at the Rays right now though. Geez.

+1
I’m headed off to watch some Simpsons and fall the F asleep finally.
I’ll TIVO Sportcenter and hope they give a good replay of the play… which I’m sure they won’t. They’ll devote 47 minutes to the game, but at least 80% of it will be John Kruk making ambiguously positive statements about the players’ character.
