  1. @ Keith: I can't believe you did not have an "LOL DODGERS" post or something like it up today. :-(

    I guess you were busy with school...

  2. I sent you an E-Mail. I was at school today plus I had computer problems. I finally had to buy a new computer.

  3. I just got your email. I hope the new computer works out well for you!

    I was reading True Blue LA and other Dodgers blogs (just for shiggles) and it's hilarious stuff. They are way more hurt over this one than they were with Game 4 of last year's NLCS. Truly some great readings if you're like me and you really don't like the Dodgers at all, and I know you're in that category, Keith. ;-)

  4. @JFein, read today's open thread over at McCovey Chronicles. Someone over there made a GIF animation on Rollins hit last night.

  5. Haha. That GIF is great!

    Yankees and Halos are still scoreless.

  6. I'm rooting for the Yankees. My heart is still broken from 02.

  7. Oof. It's 3-0 Yankees and this umpiring crew <3s the New York Yankees.

    ReplyDelete
  8. Yankees lead 3-0 now, and according to Miller and Morgan it's all Howie Kendrick's fault w/ the bad throw.

    HOW ABOUT IF KAZMIR THREW SOME DAMN STRIKES?

    And Swisher is now called safe even though he was out.

    FUCK YOU DALE SCOTT

  9. @ 49er16: I'm really only rooting for the Angels because of Adenhart (I'm cheesy, I know) and I think they might be an easier match-up for the Phillies than the Yankees.

    Besides, if the Phillies choke this thing (highly doubtful with Hamels, Pedro, and Lee on the mound the next 3 games), I would like to see the Angels win.

  10. And now Kazmir gets squeezed as Jeter walks.

    FOX STOP SHOWING THE REPLAY, WE KNOW HE WAS OUT!

    God, I thought the macaroni I ate was making me sick...

    ReplyDelete
  11. And Swisher left too soon, not according to the replay (he was still on the bag?, no run, double play.

    ReplyDelete
  12. Kate Hudson must have a magic vagina.

    ReplyDelete
  13. Wow! Now A-Rod has tied Ryan Howard and Lou Gehrig for the record for consecutive post-season games with an RBI. Howard will try to break that record tomorrow and A-Rod will have his crack at surpassing Gehrig on Thursday.

  14. Okay, so I switch to NFL Films highlighted version of the 2006 AFC Title Game between the Colts and Pats on ESPN2 and McClelland blows ANOTHER call.

    Two Yankees were at 3rd base and OFF the bag, double play. Screw it.

    If the Phils win the NLCS, they'll be playing 9 vs. 15 (Yanks and umps/chumps)

    ReplyDelete
  15. Maybe this reverse psychology is working, 1st and 2nd 1 out, run in, 5-1.

    ReplyDelete
  16. Forceout, popout, inning over. Back to the Pats/Colts game AFC title game from a couple years back.

    ReplyDelete
  17. For anyone interested, I've got the Week 7 NFL schedule up. Just click refresh and scroll up.

  18. 2 on, 0 out for the Halos.

    ReplyDelete
  19. Angels get their first 2 men on but a double play and a hard groundout to first with a nice play by Texiera ruined that potential rally.

    ReplyDelete
  20. McClelland is the best umpire in baseball, but he's having a rough night. Of course, if the Angels could get a couple of hits with men on base, no one would be blaming the umps.

    ReplyDelete
  21. Fox Business Network In-Game Box Score? Wow.....I've never heard of a sister channel sponsoring a something in a sporting event before...

    ReplyDelete
  22. @JFein NBC is going to be all over that tactic soon enough...

    ReplyDelete
  23. Damon makes it 7-1 with a long HR to right center

    ReplyDelete
  24. Yeah, McClelland is having a bad game. It's easier to scream about the umps and the Yankees for sucking the life out of this game.

    At least the Yanks' overspending finally got them something, a power hitter and a power pitcher who don't suck in October.

    ReplyDelete
  25. It looks like the Yankees are about to go up real big in this series.

    ReplyDelete
  26. This is why the Yankees gave Sabbathia 160 million dollars. Just an outstanding pitching performance.

    ReplyDelete
  27. I've seen enough. I'm ready to see what offense is more powerful. Phillies or Yankees. Who's more mentally tough, CC or CLee. Who's more clutch Howard or gulp A-Rod.

    ReplyDelete
  28. Abreu throws it away and its 8-1...of course it's all the umpires fault...

    ReplyDelete
  29. While it may be east coast heavy, let me tell you what, a Phillies-Yankees World Series would be a huge draw (much better than Phillies-Rays, not that that's saying much, but still). There has always been sort of an unspoken dislike between Yankees and Phillies fans (at least on the Phillies fans' behalf).

    Last year, I'll admit, we sort of got a pass with the unlikely upstart Rays (as opposed to the Sawx who even to this day I'm not convinced we would have beaten). But if it's Phils-Yanks, then we'll be beating the best and there will be no doubt in anybody's mind whether or not the Phillies are good enough to repeat as world champions.

    ReplyDelete
  30. @JFein i agree, but that Rays team was very solid and better than the Red Sox, despite the "reputation" of the Pink Hatters

    ReplyDelete
  31. Yankees win and lead the series 3-1

    ReplyDelete
  32. Oh, there's no doubt they were a solid team, but there would have been a huge experience advantage for the Sawx if they won that game 7. Phillies and Rays were both on the same playing field in terms of experience with the last Phils World Series team being 1993 and I'm pretty sure you can count on one hand (were there even any) of individual players that played in past world series and the Rays having never been there. Red Sox would have been going for the repeat and they would have been so confident against the Phils, who would have been considered the upstarts in that series.

    Lil Sarge grounds out and the Yanks have a 3-1 series lead.

    ReplyDelete
  33. @JFein i'm not arguing with you but every argument you just advanced could apply to the Rays in last year's ALCS and they still beat the Red Sox in a Game 7. That's why I will take nothing away from the Phillies, because they beat an excellent Rays team. It's not their fault Fox and the rest of the media would have preferred the Red Sox.

    ReplyDelete
  34. Good point. And it's not that I feel that the World Series that we won is unjustified. I give us full credit for winning that championship, it's that some days I find myself wondering would the result have been the same if the Red Sox won that game. My points have nothing to do with the way the Red Sox were built up by the media, I just wonder if we could have beaten them as they were a real good team, as were the Rays.

    And another reason why I want to see the Angels come back and win the series: Who does not want to see Sarge vs. Lil Sarge in the World Series!?

    ReplyDelete
  35. @JFein Do you think the Sarge wants that? Also, please do not count your chickens before they hatch. The 2007 Indians, 2004 Yankees, and others are still waiting for their World Series trip ;-)
