[Numb1075]

Bad hair piece guy and the cow bell guy will be massaging Glavine's calf.

[LarryMullen's POPAngel]

No rain tonight, come on Mets.

i fucking hate cow bell man

[Headache in a Suitcase]

latest report says a few showers off and on, heavy stuff not coming till after midnight... should be able to get the game in.

but of course, if you remember game 2 of the yankees/tigers series...

I was wondering how long it would be before someone posted this.

 

[Dalton]

i must say, oakland's "marco... scutaro..." chant is quite funny.

I was thinking the same thing!



The Tigers really need to do a better job getting that lead off game. They dodged major bullets tonight, but we can't expect the A's to hit that poorly the whole series.

Let's go Justin.


On a seperate note, am I the only one that expects Verlander to take two steps back next year because of all the innings he has thrown this year? I don't think he will be terrible, but like the White Sox pitchers this year, I can easily see him struggling with consistency next year...

 

[Dalton]

BTW - a quick note to all my fellow Tiger fans before Friday nights game.

This is the 2006 ALCS not the 1984 ALCS - can we please (PLEASE) let 'the wave' rest in peace?

Thanks in advance.

the wave

CHICAGO (AP) -- The White Sox will start weeknight home games at 7:11 p.m. as part of a sponsorship deal with the 7-Eleven convenience store chain.

White Sox spokesman Scott Reifert would not disclose the value of the three-year deal with the Dallas company Wednesday but said the revenue probably will be reinvested in the team or ballpark.



and here we thought joe torre was a sell out for his iPod deal

 

[Numb1075]

Wow, Selig would allow this?

 

[Headache in a Suitcase]

i'm gettin' antsy...

 

[Chizip]

i think the whole series depends on if the cardinals can win 1 of the first 2 on the road

if they do, its a best of 5 game series, with st louis having homefield advantage and Carpenter in line to pitch 2 of those games

id definitely take my chances with that

if the cards lose both in NY to start the series, then it will look grim

 

[Numb1075]

chizip - i hope carpenter likes pitching in cold rainy weather - it's gonna be a typical mid october night in Flushing.

 

[Headache in a Suitcase]

carpenter's a very good pitcher and all, but we're not talking about sandy koufax. he's hittable, beatable, and he is worse against lefties than he is against righties

 

[Hewson]

This must make you feel icky Chizzer.

plane that crashed in new york owned by cory lidle according to cnn

 

[speedracer]

Lidle was piloting and perished in the crash, according to ESPN/AP:

Edit: Only the headline actually claims Lidle was killed; the article itself doesn't say so. The CNN article doesn't say so either. Still, doesn't look good.

msnbc reporting the mets-cardinals game tonight has been postponed due to weather

and with todays events, it may be for the best

 

[phanan]

I don't see that anywhere, and none of the other sites have reported it's been delayed.

 

[Chizip]

well Keith Olbermann reported it on the radio, it appears he may have jumped the gun a bit, but still appears pretty likely it will be called

 

[Imarocker]

Considering the plane was registered to him, its safe to assume he was piloting. Prayers to his family, they can't contact them because they're on another flight.

Since the NL game is rained out, enjoy the AL one.

They were saying the same thing on ESPN earlier. I agree it's probably for the best.

 

[Headache in a Suitcase]

mike and the mad dog are at shea right now and they've yet to get an official word and they're on the Mets radio network, and SNY NY, the mets TV network, has yet to make an announcement either... but i can tell ya it's absolutely pouring here right now and i don't see how they could ever play this game with the weather the way it is.

 

[Chizip]

this means there will be 5 games in a row

the Cardinals only have 4 starters on their roster, and I'm guessing the Mets do too

which means someone has to start game 5 on short rest, or have it be a bullpen game. should be interesting

 

[Headache in a Suitcase]

i just hope they make the decision soon 'cause it's an absolute nightmare trying to get into that stadium these days with half the parking lot closed because of the new stadium construction... if they know they're gonna cancel it, do it now so that these people don't battle the traffic all that way just to turn around.

 

[Headache in a Suitcase]

it's official... game called

game 1 tommorow, game 2 friday night
