MLB 2010 Part 4 - October

[No spoken words]

The Nassau Coliseum is, yeah, just unreal. Dilapidated is the word that springs to mind.

We have a shit arena, a bizarre owner and we had one of the worst GM's in the history of professional sports.

Enjoy the Wild game......

Right, cause I'm choking.

Lee vs Price to advance to the ALCS should be intense. Good luck, Imperor.

Meanwhile, 1-0 in Atlanta, Sanchez has a no-hitter heading into the bottom of the 6th.

 

[No spoken words]

And Tim Hudson breaks up the no-no.

See, and I took it that Heimlich Manual is a gay porn author.

Dan's post reads a little differently that way.

If they can't win a deciding game with Lee on the bump, they don't deserve to advance anyway, so it's all good.

i actually like the nassau mausoleum

If he keeps pitching the way he pitches in the playoffs, you'll be fine.

 

[gump]

I like that Lee or Price won't be able to play the ALCS on normal rest until game 3.

 

[No spoken words]

So Cole Hamels wasn't fucking around tonight.

 

[gump]

This Philly team is sort of good.

 

[kramwest1]

This Philly team is sort of good.

I remember when the Twins beat Halladay.

 

[Hewson]

Man some horrible errors so far in this postseason...Brooks Conrad may well have been named after Brooks Robinson, but he plas 2B more like William Conrad.

 

[No spoken words]

He won't get the opportunity to make any more errors tonight.

I'll be rooting for the Braves, if for no other reason than to force a Game 5.

 

[gump]

I find it sad that there are no Giants or Braves fans in this forum...

 

[No spoken words]

I have very good friends that root for the Braves, and a few that root for the Giants.

Does that help a little? No? Fine, whatever.

True, little known fact: Olivier Assayas is a Rays fan.

 

[gump]

Spoiler

I laughed. I would tell you to go watch Capote but Lance has already done that for me.

True, very well known fact: there is no such thing as a Rays fan.

 

[DRay9911]

i'm a giants fan this postseason. at least in the NL

i gave the braves one shot, that was back in 91 (sorry mark)

when they couldn't beat the twins, i swore off them forever

and i hate that damn chop too

 

[speedracer]

True, very well known fact: there is no such thing as a Rays fan.

Watch Capote or unwatch Capote? Lance wants me to unwatch it.

Dick Vitale is a Rays fan.

ETA - SR, the fastest draw in the Mid-Atlantic.

 

[gump]

Spoiler

I almost managed to edit my original comment in time. : outsmarted:

Wikipedia is a blessing:

Vitale was born in Passaic, New Jersey.

That says it all, I guess.

 

[gump]

NSW, since we are all here and this game is about to end, let me ask you this: how do you line-up the Yankees' rotation for the ALCS?

 

[No spoken words]

Spoiler

I refuse to un-watch it because of my fascination with In Cold Blood. Also, if it annoys Lance, all the better.

Hate to say it, but CC, Pettitte, Hughes and then AJ with Gaudin and Moseley warming up in the pen as he throws his first pitch. Removing that extra off-day (which is a good thing) really torpedoes going with a 3-man rotation, or so I think.

[gump]

Yeah, it has to be a 4-man rotation (Pettitte and Phil can't really go on short-rest, I think). But I wonder whether it would be worth to have CC pitch games 1-4-7 (4 and 7 on short rest) while Hughes, Pettitte and AJ take the other 4 games. But I'm still more tempted with what you suggest.


SR- I would have to think for a second before choosing between AJ and Swisher.

 

[No spoken words]

To me, silly to have a guy throw on short rest unless you're going with a 3-man rotation.

 

[speedracer]

I don't think Sabathia pitching his third game of the series is much better than Hughes, if at all.

 

[No spoken words]

Alright, here we go, Wilson in to try to end the Braves season/Cox career.

I enjoy the drama.
