1. No Red Sox threads, either.
Or Phillies.

It's shocking. Shocking, I say.

(and just wait about 15 minutes -- until I'm out of here -- to start one)

2. There's a RedSox thread, 'cause flvegan has the floaty hearts for that riverdancing guy.
Can you tell I don't follow baseball? :rofl:

4. It's just the first game
I don't celebrate until there's somethin' worth celebratin'.



Also, I eschew "FACE."









(Although I did sorta post a pic of Loney a little bit ago...)

:evilgrin:

5. Yes, you did.
And it'll come back to haunt you. You *will* pay for the indiscretion.

8. Well, his last time out
he acted like he was about to rip up the rubber and beat the plate ump and Soto with it.

And about four seconds later, somebody took him outa the yard.

9. Hopefully he'll be calmer tomorrow.
There was something going on that game...I can't remember what it was. Might've been everything catching up with him at once, too...he'd just had a death in the family and gone to Venezuela for the funeral and then back between starts.

10. Oh, yeah
The Other Guy (not Santo) mentioned that, but I'd forgotten it.

12. That'd be
Pat Hughes. The one who was still able to speak coherently when they clinched.

14. Yeah
I can never remember his name. I like him, though.



Oh — the Phillies have somebody (not Kalas, or however the fuck he spells it — he's great) who's a bigger homer than Santo. Today he was complaining about every call he thought was bad. I hate that shit.

16. I think I heard him once
Uecker must do eight innings for them, and he puts me to sleep.

Also, he sounds a lot like one of the Minnesota guys.



Oh — weird today: Vinny doing 7, 8 and 9. Usually I get him for only the first three, then Charlie and Rick take over. But there's no local teevee for the playoffs, so he's just on radio. But it's also weird just that he's east of Denver.

11. Dodgers gave the Cubs an ass-whupping today.
I like the Dodgers but I really want to see the Cubs make it.

13. To be honest...
Cubs gave themselves the whuppin'. Seven walks in 42/3 innings. Loaded the bases twice...start pullin' shit like that, it's inevitable.

17. Torre's smart
When Dempster started goin' 2-0, 3-0, 3-1 on everybody, he had 'em taking. Pitcher gets behind like that, he's gotta throw a watermelon to get a strike. The hitters wait on that, and that's when baseballs need FAA authorization.

It's a pitching basic: Get ahead of the hitters, control the game. Get behind 'em and you're not long for this world.
