Enjoy the game and leave comments!
There is a giant disco ball in the Flyers arena.
ReplyDeleteSuck it Pronger!!!!!
ReplyDelete1-0 Sharks
3-1 Sharks
ReplyDeletewhat a night for Manny Malhotra!
ReplyDeletemeanwhile Shaun Hill continued the sucky weekend for Maryland football
I am lazy. Therefore, this will be used as the ALCS Game 6 open thread after all.
ReplyDeletePettitte looks on his game
ReplyDeleteword verification: Brant, as in
Tim Brant...
HOLY SHIT!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteHARTNELL WAS JUST DESTROYED.
Sharks finally done fucking around.
HELLY YEAH
ReplyDeleteIT WAS HEATLEY WHO DESTROYED HARTNELL.
What the hell is going on with these threads?
ReplyDeleteThere's too much on tonight for me to really watch a regular season Flyers game. Plus I have a ton of work to do today.
ReplyDelete@ 49er16: Ask JC that.......
ReplyDeleteI figured this post was fine but apparently he did not notice my changes...
ReplyDelete"Pettitte gets away w/ a lot more" - McCarver on Pettitte's BALK move to 1st.
ReplyDeleteOF COURSE HE DOES, HE'S A FUCKING YANKEE! I could think on the mound and the umps would call a balk and nice baserunning Vlad...awful.
Who do you guys say win this game?
ReplyDeleteRogers-Cromartie intercepts Manning's deepball at the goalline in the Giants/Cards game, if anybody cares.
ReplyDelete@JFein- Hate to say it, but the Yankees.
ReplyDeleteBTW, did you guys see that incredible interception in the AZ-New York game? We got our first Manning Face of the evening.
I sort of care, but I'm watching baseball and I have work to do (which I am currently procrastinating).
ReplyDeleteJFein, I'm thinking the Angels will win tonight but not tomorrow in game 7. I'm going to apply the old NBA conspiracy theory policy, long series w/ the favorite winning.
ReplyDelete@ Keith: Just saw the replay. That. Was. Incredible.
ReplyDeleteAnd I'm taking the Giants in the football game to clear everything up. Cards don't win on the road against GOOD east-coast teams.
ReplyDeleteScott Nichol just flopped and it cost Philly a penalty.
ReplyDeleteSuck it Pronger
I'm thinking both New York teams win tonight.
ReplyDeleteAngels killer Derek Jeter up , 1st and 2nd, 2 out.
ReplyDeleteJeter walks, bases drunk.
ReplyDeleteBases loaded for Damon with 2 out.
ReplyDeletethis is MLB, not the NBA
ReplyDeleteafter all they junked CB Bucknor, Stern would've assigned him to a Game 7.
so please quit whining about the Yankees
Damon grounds weakly to 1st to end the inning. Thank you Joe Saunders for showing some intestinal fortitude.
ReplyDelete@ 49er16: Since when does George Clooney coach the Sharks?
ReplyDelete@JFein-Ha!
ReplyDeleteI was just going to ask you when the Flyers let a Libraian coach their team.
It's so much fun to whine about the Yankees or any team I hate. Easier to have a rooting interest when my favorite team in mostly every other sport doesn't get anywhere close.
ReplyDeleteIn case you have not heard yet, Steve Phillips has been fired from ESPN.
ReplyDeleteYou're right, Keith, John Stevens does have that odd look to him...
ReplyDeleteThe question was when not if he would be fired after having an affair when he was the Mets GM.
ReplyDeleteESPN couldn't afford to keep Phillips around.
ReplyDeleteIMO, they fired him too late. You don't take as big of PR hit if you just fire him right away.
And the same thing has happened with his career at ESPN. Some people just never learn...
ReplyDeleteBuck talking about Figgins w/ 1 RBI and Abreu 2 RBI's in the entire postseason. Amazing they've gotten to game 6 of the ALCS.
ReplyDeleteAngels lead 1-0
ReplyDeleteAbreu with a single to put the Angels up 1-0.
ReplyDeleteAbreu comes through w/ a 2 out RBI single scoring Mathis, 1-0.
ReplyDeleteclassic move by ESPN to bury that news on a Sunday night of football and a Yankees MLB game
ReplyDeleteGiants interception in ARZ territory, 29 yd line. Next play Jacobs runs to the 5.
ReplyDeleteIt's too bad the Sharks have to beat Boucher.
ReplyDeleteFor something slightly disturbing, click here....(NSFW and children under 18!!!)
ReplyDeletehttp://www.thefightins.com/meechone/looks-like-somebody-is-excited-about-the-world-series-berth/
Aspeaking of posts from The Fightins, here's a quote that sort of summarizes how I feel about the Yankees and this series.: "It’s like waiting for Christmas, I swear. Hoping the Yankees can finish off the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim, CA, United States of America, North America, Earth tonight. I want to see a rested CC get whooped. Anything less, and you know we’ll just hear more ‘fluke’ talk. I want their best at their best." Yeah, let's do this right fricken' now!!!
Hell, ESPN is smart. They do a lot of things to piss me off but if I'm in their position, I would do the same thing. Everybody cares about NFL/Yankees-MLB right now. Jacobs TD, 7-0 Giants
ReplyDeleteI like Brian Boucher as well. He's definitley one of the good guys in hockey.
ReplyDeleteHahn and Remenda have talked about how they miss Boucher. The funny thing about this game is the goalie who replaced Boucher as the back up (Thomas Griess) is starting tonight for the Sharks.
ReplyDelete@Philly Phans
ReplyDeletebe careful what you guys wish for re: the Yankees
The one thing about a long series I hate is hearing the same crap from announcers, McCarver AGAIN talking about Joe Maddon's praise of ARod's plate coverage.
ReplyDeleteTimmy, come up w/ some new stuff and don't talk just to hear your voice.
Any other ball park and that is an easy fly out.
ReplyDeleteAbreau catches it at the wall!
ReplyDelete@ kt1000: I think everyone in Philly is ready and willing to face the Yankees and to face them at their best with their best on the mound for Game 1 against our best on the mound for Game 1.
ReplyDeleteextra fun for the Yankee haters in the audience:
ReplyDeletehttp://www.nytimes.com/2009/10/24/nyregion/24stadium.html?_r=2&scp=2&sq=yankee%20stadium&st=cse
Ortmeyer just laid the dagger to the Flyers and Bouch.
ReplyDelete4-1 Sharks
JFein, aren't we forgettin CBP in Philly? Honorable mention: Camden Yards
ReplyDelete@JFein
ReplyDeleteat least someone wants to take them on as is, rather than trying to legislate them out of business
@ Al: That ball is not that close in CBP.
ReplyDeletehttp://www.nytimes.com/2009/10/24/nyregion/24stadium.html?_r=2&scp=2&sq=yankee%20stadium&st=cse
ReplyDeleteI guess ticket prices next year are going up to cover the cost of fixing those cracks.
@ kt: I think a lot of people here want to take them on as is. Neither the players, coaches, nor the fans of the Phillies are afraid of the Yankees at 100%. We say bring on Lee vs. CC in Game 1, 4, and 7, if need be.
ReplyDeleteCamden Yards is a fairly neutral run park nowadays.
ReplyDeleteM&T Bank Stadium and the butt-ugly hotel they built behind left field have knocked down the prevailing wind...its a fair stadium now
@JFein.. i was completely agreeing w/ your 9:24 comment
ReplyDeleteWell besides shitting the bed in Washington and Tampa Bay, that was a successful road trip for the Sharks.
ReplyDeleteSuck it Pronger!!!!
@kt1000
ReplyDeleteSo who wants to legislate the Yankees out of business?
And on the home run ballparks, CBP really when it first opened and Camden Yards back in the 90s seemed like the new Yankee Stadium is now to me w/ homers.
On the Maryland/Duke replay from CSN D.C., the announcers were saying Duke was trying to and did become 2-1 in ACC play for the first time since 1994.
ReplyDeleteThe football program has not exactly even come close to matching women's hoops let alone the men.
2 on, 0 out for the Yanks. Cabrera sacrifices them to 2nd and 3rd.
ReplyDeleteCards scored a TD, 7-7 on the FOX ticker.
ReplyDeleteMeanwhile, Jeter walks again and the bases are loaded again.
Damon a 2-run single, Yanks finally come through w/ RISP.
ReplyDeleteHere we go! Now it's 2-1 Yankees!
ReplyDeleteManning to Nicks, 62-yard pass TD, 14-7 Giants.
ReplyDeleteBases loaded once again!
ReplyDeleteBases loaded walk! 3-1 Yankees!
ReplyDeleteClose 3-1 pitch but ARod walks, 3-1lead for the Yanks.
ReplyDeleteDouble play ends the inning!!!
ReplyDeleteA little outside on the FOX Trax on the pitch to ARod but Dale Scott has been bad for both sides. Saunders and Scoiscia shouldn't complain.
ReplyDeleteBig 4-6-3 double play by the Angels to stop the rally. 14-10 Giants at the half of the SNF game.
I've really lost all interest in baseball. I'm just watching this game for I don't jinx the Giants. I want them to beat Arizona.
ReplyDelete@ 49er16: Yeah, it seems like you've been bad luck as of late. ;-)
ReplyDelete/49ers'd.
The506 maps and announcing schedule is up for next week already. Eagles got Kenny, Moose, and Goose and poor Mookie, he's going to have to listen to Dick Stockton and Charles Davis.
ReplyDeleteKeith, to make you feel better I've missed every score in the Giants/Cards game to watch this waste of a baseball game from my perspective rooting against the Yankees.
ReplyDeleteGood night, guys. I have to go to school early tomorrow, so I'm going to bed now.
ReplyDeleteJFein, I'm surprised the Redskins haven't gotten Stockton/Davis yet. We've gotten Rosen and Ryan and Brenneman and Billick twice for FOX as our crews.
ReplyDeleteWe'll probably get Chris Rose if the Deadskins continue to suck.
Warner to Wright for an AZ TD after Wilson picks off Manning on a tipped ball. 24-14 Cards.
ReplyDeleteYankees are 8 outs away from going to the World Series.
ReplyDelete@ Al: You'll get them soon enough, I'm sure.
ReplyDeleteDo the Redskins play the Seahawks at all? They've practically done a Nantz and Simms a la New England with the Seahawks....
/Cries a sincere tear for Mookie.
//A part of me died inside listening to them Week 1.
Pitching change in the Bronx, 1 on 1 out-Top 7.
ReplyDeleteI wonder if we'll see Sarge, Jr. tonight....
ReplyDeleteYankees are 6 outs away.
ReplyDeleteIt's weird w/ the NFL crews. Gumber/Dierdorf have done a bunch of Jets games. Enberg/Fouts have done at least 3 Chargers games. And Stockton/Davis w/ the Seahawks.
ReplyDeleteWe already know Nants/Simms do almost every CBS Patriots game and Aikman's crew at Fox does about each Cowboy game their network has.
Cardinals 24, Giants 14.
ReplyDelete@ Al: It's a no-brainer that Fox would put Aikman with at the site of Favre Bowl II as that may break all sorts of regular season NFL on Fox records, but I'm sort of surprised they gave Kenny, Moose, and Goose the Eagles-Giants game as opposed to Seahawks-Cowboys.
ReplyDelete@ Al: Correct me if I'm wrong, but haven't the Chargers historically gotten Dick Enberg a lot? Maybe it's just me, but it seems to me like they like to keep Enberg out on the west coast as much as they possibly can.
ReplyDeleteI must admit, I've got butterflies in my stomach now. It looks like it could finally be happening.
ReplyDeleteOh my, Kazmir's warming up? Yep, it's time to get ready for Phils-Yankees!
From the506.com, Nantz/Simms since 2004 have called 33 Patriots games 7 more than the Steelers.
ReplyDeleteBuck/Aikman have broadcast 26 Cowboys games since 2005 as a duo (Collinworth left for NBC after the Eagles/Pats Super Bowl, I think).
Whoa! Mike Freeman does like holding back. Check out this zinger from this column that I am currently reading from him.
ReplyDelete"'I can't say the Phillies wanted it more than us,' Joe Torre said.
I can and they did.
There's more hustle in Steve Phillips' pants than there were in the Dodgers."
(BA-ZING!!!)
@ Al: You're absolutely right. The Eagles/Pats Super Bowl was the last game Cris Collinsworth called with Buck and Aikman.
ReplyDelete5 outs away, but the Angels have the tying run at the plate with a runner on 2nd.
ReplyDeleteJFein, if the Chargers are at home and/or they're not playing the Pats or the Steelers, Enberg is a good bet since he was moved to the C team.
ReplyDeleteThe A and B teams usually get the big headliner games so it's not surprising CBS assigns more freely after their #2 game.
Summerrall did a ton of Cowboys games in 2001-02 (they really sucked then) when FOX made Buck the lead NFL guy.
Four outs away from Phils/Yanks WS.
I hate to say it but the Yankees are playing awesome defense in this game/series.
ReplyDeleteSingle scores a runner from 2nd. It's now 3-2 Yankees with 2 down in the top of the 8th.
ReplyDeleteJFein, Mike Freeman just made watching this game more enjoyable. So does Vladdy w/ a RBI single! 3-2
ReplyDeleteMorales grounds out to end inning.
ReplyDeleteBig fumble by Bradshaw just across midfield for NYG. Forced by the ex-Eagle Matt Ware.
Giants get ball back on a punt at their own 9.
ReplyDeleteKazmir coming in for LAA. What's Scoiscia doing? Kazmir will walk a 3-year old kid playing whiffleball let alone a NYY hitter.
Giants backed up to their own 1 after a personal foul on Bradshaw.
ReplyDeleteKazmir's pitching......this game will soon be over.
ReplyDeleteManning to Smith! To the Giants 38 yd line! 1st down on a 3rd and 15 pass.
ReplyDeleteAngels are completely falling apart in the bottom of this 8th inning.
ReplyDeleteKendrick drops a throw to 1st on a sacrifice, Kazmir airmails a throw on another sacrifice, 4-2 Yanks.
ReplyDeleteAngels deseve to lose this series because of their shitty defense and baserunning. Little leaguers have shown better fundamentals.
BTW, Giants down by 7 but at the AZ 37 yd line.
Giants at the AZ 39 yard line, incompletion makes it 2nd dow.
ReplyDeleteAntrel Rolle intercepts for Manning! Game over basically. Terrible decision by Eli into triple coverage.
ReplyDeleteAnd you probably thought I was joking when I said that Kazmir in this game meant the end for the Angels...
ReplyDeleteAnd to cap it all off, we get a great shot of Manning Face.
ReplyDeleteOh, Eli, is that a beard for crumbs from Double Stuffed Oreos?
Cardinals have won 3 straight road games for the 1st time since 1987, 24-17 over NYG. Giants at Eagles on Sunday.
ReplyDeleteAnd you probably thought I was joking when I said that Kazmir in this game meant the end for the Angels...
ReplyDeleteJFein, I wasn't. Yankees are one hit away from making this a blowout.
5-2 Yankees on the sac fly.
ReplyDeleteI'm pumped!!!
@JFein remember, Enberg lives in San Diego.. a couple of years ago he and Bilas called a NCAA Tourney regional that was in SD.
ReplyDeletebringing in a starter in a 1-run 8th inning game is exactly why Scioscia and the Angels deserve to lose. the weakest inning for a starter is generally the first, so why in the hell would you go for it now? the lefty matchup can't be that overwhelming
Well, a sac fly scores a run, 5-2.
ReplyDeleteNext sunday should be two NY at PHI matchups on FOX barring a miracle...
the Angels actually playing like an MLB team not as if they're the Bad News Bears.
But I think Bob griese is next out the door after his comments about Juan Pablo Montoya out to get a taco yesterday (10/24).
ReplyDeleteBTW, what are you going out for Halloween as?
kt, I forgot to add that Enberg lives in San Diego. I assumed everyone knew and yes Scoiscia is doing an awful job.
ReplyDeleteI changed my mind on walking ARod in the 9th inning of game 5. Fuentes was pitching and he's been bordering between scary-successful and crappy all year.
He nearly blew it if Swisher could hit anything other than air this postseason.
To the top of the 9th we go. Do the Angels have it in them or do we have the World Series of the decade?
ReplyDeleteSeriously, match-up wise, have we had anything like this this decade?
Let the Joisey Turnpike Series begin Wednesday (10/28). Fifty nine years revenge is on our mind.
ReplyDelete@ JC: There is no way that one is not the Pammy quote of the year.
ReplyDelete1 down!
@JC you think Griese is going down? I'm still waiting for CBS to fire Feherty and what he said was far worse than Griese's comment...
ReplyDeleteJC, I would dress up as Kane and trick-or-treat at Pete Rose's house.
ReplyDeleteAnd yes Bob Griese will be at least suspended, he may get lucky as a first-time stereotypical dumbass and saved from firing.
SARGE JR REPRESENTS THE LAST HOPE FOR THE ANGELS!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteOne out away for the Yankees
ReplyDeleteSee "Bob Knight" and "zero tolerance". Steve Phillips was kicked out of his job, Feherty and Bob Griese are next.
ReplyDeleteOh by the way, BALL GAME OVER. AMERICAN LEAGUE CHAMPIONSHIP SERIES OVER. YANKEES WIN! THHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHE YANKEES WIN!!!
HERE WE GO!!!!!! PHILLIES WILL PLAY THE YANKEES IN THE WORLD SERIES!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteit's over.
ReplyDeleteBTW, George Steinbrenner will throw out the first manager for the 2009 World Series Wednesday night.
ReplyDeleteJC, I would fire Griese and Feherty if I was running ESPN or CBS but their big networks w/ more things to worry about than us, contracts, viewer feedback.
ReplyDeleteNice job, FOX showing every individual Yankee player celebrating on replays.
So, who do you think FOX wanted to win this series?
I don't care if I'm a whiny bitch.
FOX and the NYY can s*ck my b*llsack
nice job by Kenny Albert to get from Pittsburgh to the Bronx for the trophy presentation
ReplyDeleteWow, Kenny Albert hustling back from Pittsburgh to anchor the trophy presentation.
ReplyDeleteum, that happens on most sports broadcasts, getting reaction shots after a team wins.
ReplyDeletebut, you have to love the Yankees celebrating in the clubhouse, not on the field sharing it with their fans...
Kenny lives in New York, Rangers radio play-by-play guy so he would be home by now anyway but that's a good job at midnight.
ReplyDeleteOnly reason I'm still watching.
@ Al: Fox did that when the Phillies won the World Series. As a fan of the team they were doing that with, I loved it. Best part of that whole series-long broadcast.
ReplyDeleteKenny Albert = Kirk Herbstreit on steroids.
ReplyDeleteI have officially procrastinated this work for 4 hours now. Yay, me. Good night, all!
ReplyDeletekt, I was blowing off some steam.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations to the Yankees, they actually are playing like one team not a bunch of individuals grouped together.
