MLB 2008: The Playoffs

[No spoken words]

Fucking Angels, wow. So very much the bitch of the Red Sox.

 

[No spoken words]

I think you two idiots misread my intent......I meant sad as in legitimately bummed out....everyone at work today was subdued, it sucked. It's called empathy, clowns, it's not about NY vs. Chicago. Jesus.

 

[phillyfan26]

It's kind of interesting that by the end of tonight all eight wins could go to only four teams.

I know what you meant. I also think New York's probably bummed considering their teams fared poorly.

Yankee fans realized that we were not going to the playoffs in August....

 

[No spoken words]

OMG

Buck Martinez: "If you're the Angels, you've got to score 4 runs before you make 27 outs".

I don't even know what to say about this fucking duo. Just wow.

 

[lazarus]

"To win they just need to end the game with more runs than the other team."

 

[No spoken words]

"To win they just need to end the game with more runs than the other team."

That's next, I'm sure.

 

[speedracer]

Getting on base is all about not making outs.

 

[phanan]

And strangely, the Chicago teams have won as many playoff games this year as both New York teams.

Which is very sad for Chicago.

 

[phanan]

The Angels are doing their best to give this game away early.

 

[phanan]

At least they had Don Orsillo calling the Chicago/Tampa game.

 

[zonelistener]

Ask not for whom the bell tolls, Tampa Bay. It tolls for thee.

you are a ding dong.

 

[speedracer]

Who is this Japanese guy pitching for Boston right now, and why isn't he walking anybody?

 

[phanan]

Because it's the Angels, who swing at everything.

 

[speedracer]

I also bet on Daisuke to log over 5.5 strikeouts at +110...just need 4 more.

 

[bono_212]

So I take it the Sux lost?

 

[phanan]

What gave it away?

 

[No spoken words]

At least they had Don Orsillo calling the Chicago/Tampa game.

I like Orsillo a lot. He's really fair, despite the pressure he might be under to be more of a homer.

 

[bono_212]

What gave it away?

The champagne this thread is currently passing about

 

[phanan]

I like Orsillo a lot. He's really fair, despite the pressure he might be under to be more of a homer.

I guess we are spoiled in Boston. I always thought that Orsillo and Remy were a good team, but hearing these announcers on TBS makes me appreciate what we have even more.

 

[bono_212]

Len and Bob are cheese-tastic, but I like them a lot more then these TBS squads that's for sure

 

[No spoken words]

I guess we are spoiled in Boston. I always thought that Orsillo and Remy were a good team, but hearing these announcers on TBS makes me appreciate what we have even more.

I can't think of a pair of regional broadcasters that are better than Orsillo/Remy. They're both typically fair and seem to get along very well, which helps. SNY's booth is pretty good, too, I have to say. The Brewers pxp guy on FSN North-Wisconsin is also strong, and I think he's doing one of the DS for TBS.

And, well, of course, you have Scully, who to me is still amazing, even if he's no longer at the very top of his game.

 

[phanan]

Agreed on Scully. Who could forget his playcalling back in the 80's...

 

[speedracer]

I still watch the clip of Scully calling Kirk Gibson's homer at least once a month on MLB.TV.

 

[phanan]

What a freak injury to Hunter. That didn't look good.

 

[No spoken words]

Pour a little Powerjuice on that knee and he'll be just fine.

 

[phillyfan26]

Philly's announcers are top heavy: good play-by-play guys with Kalas and McCarthy, but a very average commentator in the Sarge and a nitwit in Wheeler.

They put their best color guy, Larry Andersen, on the radio. I don't get it.

 

[No spoken words]

Of all the regional networks, Comcast Philly is the one I've watched the least.....was not available on DirecTV and we could not take down the feed at work, so it was this big mystery to us.

 

[randhail]

As good as Orsillo is, I still miss Sean McDonough. It's a shame that he doesn't have a regular job with the team anymore.
