The Super Terrific MLB Thread - Part 3

[Dalton]

Wow. We have a Pat Burrell sighting.

That's a lot like a Big Foot sighting.

 

[phanan]

The Phils will make a game of it.

Back to back homers certainly help.

 

[No spoken words]

Wow. We have a Pat Burrell sighting.

That's a lot like a Big Foot sighting.

He hit 30 HR, knocked 97 runs in and had a .400 OBP.

22 of those HR came after 7/1.

 

[DaveC]

Yeah, I left class early...

How is that not Big Foot like?

 

[Dalton]

Yeah, I left class early...

You shoulda stayed in class, heh?

 

[DaveC]

I forgot to make my predictions...

Phillies in 4
D-Backs in 5

Yankees in 4
Red Sox in 3

 

[Dalton]

Phillies in 5
Cubs in 4

Cleveland in 5
Red Sox in 4

 

[DaveC]

If we never see that umpire and his enormous-and-constantly-changing strike zone again, it will be too soon.

 

[phillyfan26]

Rockies in 4
Diamondbacks in 5

Indians in 5
Red Sox in 5

 

[No spoken words]

The only series I feel sure of is the Red Sox series. I just cannot see the Angels beating Boston.

 

[DaveC]

Rockies in 4
Diamondbacks in 5

Indians in 5
Red Sox in 5

Terrible.

 

[phanan]

Rockies in 4
Cubs in 4

Indians in 5
Red Sox in 3

 

[phillyfan26]

Terrible.

If you mean the Phillies, I agree.

If you mean my predictions, they're based on two things:

1. The hotter team.
2. The better pitching.

 

[randhail]

Wow, Frank Thomas is one great analyst. His personality really shines through the tv.

 

[No spoken words]

Click Clack.

 

[speedracer]

BOOM.

 

[phanan]

In the immortal words of Denis Leary, I'm so glad we have a Jewish first baseman.

I happened to see that game LIVE last year. I could not stop laughing, and still can't when I re-watch it. Also, I'm a MOT as well, so I'm proud of Youkilis.

 

[phanan]

'Tis a classic.

And I'm half a MOT.

 

[Hewson]

So did anything interesting happen over the final week of the season while I was on vacation?

 

[Hewson]

and one well known interference poster already took that 160 a few hours ago

As did another just now.

 

[Hewson]

Back when I was living in Boston, the 2004 ALCS Games 4 and 5 killed me, and they allegedly started at 8 pm and 5 pm respectively.

And I attended game 5, with SRO tix, which I went into the park as soon as the gates opened (3:30 if I recall) to secure a primo spot which we had staked out when game 3 got rained out (the game 3 tix became game 5 tix). My feet were killing me by the 14th inning...but so worth it.

 

[randhail]

This TBS broadcast sucks - the sound is low, they're late coming back to innings. I suppose it can only get better, but it's been awful so far.

 

[CTU2fan]

Well, that Josh Beckett can pitch a little bit

Lackey really sacked up, he looked like he'd be out very early but settled down and pitched OK - let's hope that doesn't boost his confidence in a possible game 4 start.

 

[phillyfan26]

This TBS broadcast sucks - the sound is low, they're late coming back to innings. I suppose it can only get better, but it's been awful so far.

During the Phillies game the sound was ahead of the action, so you'd hear the ball hit the glove before it reached the plate. Annoying as hell.

 

[SeattleVertigo]

Yeah, Beckett was awesome tonight. I just hope Dice-K brings it on Friday.

 

[zoney!]

Oh, snap.

Guess who has 2 tickets to Saturday's Cub game?

need a, um, date?

 

[speedracer]

During the Phillies game the sound was ahead of the action, so you'd hear the ball hit the glove before it reached the plate. Annoying as hell.

Rig up a couple speakers and position them about 1000 feet away from the TV. Problem solved.

 

[zoney!]

Rumor has it he has a job waiting for him in Seattle if he wants it, along with Tony LaRussa.

I heard this same rumor tonight from two Cards fans on my flight home from Minneapolis!
