I think

I’m going to miss GDTs almost as much as the games themselves.

Ahhh

Joe Buck and Tim McCarver. How I’ve missed you.

Anyone see any of the ESPN interviews with Timmy about his comments on Ramirez? He looks awful.

Nothing pithy here. Please move long.

Timmy

It seems that makeup will do wonders for old ass bastards.

I want the phillies to win

Just because I like Chase Utley and is ultra compact death swing.

Fire Todd Dodge. Seriously. 42-10 to FIU? Come on.

actually

i have no idea.

My guess would be

Something akin to the Carlos Silva deal. Of course I say that without looking up his current contract – maybe I should go do that.

The Phillies

Have got to lay off that damn sinker. They’re getting themselves out at this point swinging at it.

Tim and Buck

Listening to them bitch about Manny and going into all the details about how he pushed the elderly traveling secretary down. I don’t approve, but seriously, if people are watching this games, they’re likely baseball fans and know what happened 5 months ago. That’s my problem with these assholes – they think they’re educating the viewers about shit we heard about months ago. Gives you a whole new respect for guys like Vin Scully who actually comes up with new things to say and information.

God I hate these guys. Can’t wait for tomorrow with Buck Martinez, who’s really good and Chip Carey doesn’t irritate the hell out of me.

Dodgers winning

LAMuscleFag must have a hard on

LA will win the NLCS. I think I said this in one of my post when I first joined

So it appears that LSB members

and the favorite team to win the NLCS is sort of split 50/50 on who wins.

by seasmurf on Oct 9, 2008 9:20 PM CDT reply reply actions actions   0 recs

I'm rooting for the Phillies

Because I don’t like Manny or the Dodgers, and because Cole Hamels and Chase Utley are some of my favorite players outside of the Rangers. The Phils are probably my favorite NL team.

I'm anti-Dodgers

Because being anti-Manny makes me feel better about having been pro-Red Sox during the ALDS.

by RachelB on Oct 9, 2008 9:26 PM CDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

I don't think I really have a preference in this series.

Maybe the Phillies have a slight edge, but I’m “meh” on it.

If

the Dodgers and Red Sox play in the WS, does Manny get a ring if either team wins?

by chrisR on Oct 9, 2008 10:04 PM CDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

Okay

That was F’ing mornic. Even Tim McCarver knew bunting right there was stupid.

Looks like Rollins might have been safe?

Greatest pinch hitter?

I thought that belonged to Cat.

Fire Todd Dodge. Seriously. 42-10 to FIU? Come on.

by sprite on Oct 9, 2008 9:35 PM CDT reply reply actions actions   0 recs

Okay

That’s a play Pedro Feliz should have made (the Martin grounder).

Well, he was 41-41 in saves in the regular season...

Probably the best closer in the NL this year, if not in baseball. Got some good young hitters coming up though… should be interesting.

I'm only betting

that it’ll be CJ-riffic.

As an Astros fan

you can never be sure what Lidge’ll do, even at 41-for-41.

I’m hoping he doesn’t blow up though, I’m still fond of him considering he proved my belief that the trade sending him to the Phillies was a bad one.

by jonthefon on Oct 9, 2008 9:54 PM CDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

At least

he won’t get to face Pujols this time around

Heart stopped

momentarily on that flyout by Kemp.

Wooo Phils

One down, three to go. Great game.

Foolish Dodgers

The should’ve batted Juan Pierre, the most expensive 4th OF in the history of the game. He could’ve been this postseason’s Scott Posednik.

by chrisR on Oct 9, 2008 9:59 PM CDT reply reply actions actions   0 recs

yeah

well, it was a close and good game. Both pitchers pitched well. I still like the Dodgers to win this series. But, it’s going to 7 games

This game

was brought to you “thanks” to Scott Boras.

Don’t worry, Adam. I won’t tell anyone.

Cole Hamels

he’s a pretty good looking guy. However didn’t that parting the hair in the middle go out of style in the 90’s

Rafters won in extra innings

Borbon and Andrew Laughter did good
