[thomeismyhomie]

Sorry, didn't wat to offend anyone. I say it around my friends, but I thought a woman that happened by here might have been offended.
Hey, dont worry about me, not much offends me...but I'm sure your aplogy is appreciated

[DaveBrownisgod]

Yep, they'll walk him anyway, have some fun with it
I don't know what you do with Matsui's numbers this season on deck.

[PhilaVa]

Sorry, didn't wat to offend anyone. I say it around my friends, but I thought a woman that happened by here might have been offended.

I understand, very good move.

Damnit, they should have beened his ass.

[DaveBrownisgod]

Here comes Francona, boy does that instill confidence.

[PhilaVa]

Here comes Francona, boy does that instill confidence.

A little bit more than here comes Little...we could be hearing that next year by the way.

[JRoll]

but I thought a woman that happened by here might have been offended.
Phila doesn't get offended easily :D

[thomeismyhomie]

Wow man, that has to be some depressing news for such a hard competitor.

Raiders | Specialist Tells Gannon His Career is Likely Over - from www.KFFL.com (http://www.kffl.com/)
Sun, 17 Oct 2004 16:57:28 -0700

ESPN's Chris Mortensen reports Oakland Raiders QB Rich Gannon (neck) recently made a fourth visit to a specialist for his neck injury. According to sources, the visit ended with the doctor telling Gannon his career is likely over. Gannon suffered a fractured vertebra at the base of his neck in a helmet-to-helmet collision back in Week 3.

[DaveBrownisgod]

10 years worth of diversity training told me so.

However not fast enough to not hit post though.

Those numbers are just sick.

[thomeismyhomie]

Sorry to interrupt, thought this was messed up...back to baseball

[JRoll]

Wow man, that has to be some depressing news for such a hard competitor.

Wow, way to go way off topic there, LOL.

[DaveBrownisgod]

You know... I really hate the Raiders, but Gannon is such a great man and competitor, that is sad to hear.

Yeah, did you see him the other day, with that full upper body cast, how can he be expected to play football.

[thomeismyhomie]

You know... I really hate the Raiders, but Gannon is such a great man and competitor, that is sad to hear.
I agree 100%

[PhilaVa]

Good Lord, good job Myers, he deserves a beating for doing what he just did.

Leskanic comes in, is there anyone else left in the Pen, Mendoza?

[DaveBrownisgod]

I agree 100%
Any way, back to watching the Sox suck.

[thomeismyhomie]

Good Lord, good job Myers, he deserves a beating for doing what he just did.

Leskanic comes in, is there anyone else left in the Pen, Mendoza?
Funny Phila, I just checked the Boston E**N board and they all were begging for Shef to get plunked too

[DaveBrownisgod]

Good Lord, good job Myers, he deserves a beating for doing what he just did.

Leskanic comes in, is there anyone else left in the Pen, Mendoza?
While I really think that was pathetic, I think that was better then giving Matsui something to hit with what he has done in this series.

[PhilaVa]

Curtis Leskanic? I think Francona was just afraid Myers was going to walk the winning run in. YES!!!!! THEY GOT OUT OF IT!

[Nittany Tar Heel]

This must END

[thomeismyhomie]

WOW....big out. Bases jammed, one of the classic postseason guys at the plate. Whew!

[DaveBrownisgod]

Now, they just need to score 1 damn run in this inning.

[PhilaVa]

thats a funny Simpsons commercials....

Bart- am I the only one in pain?

Homer- your the only one that won't shutup about it.

[DaveBrownisgod]

If they do lose this game (not that I want that to happen), does Francona lose his job, like Little last year?

[PhilaVa]

This must END in a red Sox Vitory

There you go...

[thomeismyhomie]

thats a funny Simpsons commercials....

Bart- am I the only one in pain?

Homer- your the only one that won't shutup about it.
It would be funnier if I hadnt seen it a million times already. Niners game was a FOX game today

[PhilaVa]

If they do lose this game (not that I want that to happen), does Francona lose his job, like Little last year?

Na, they won't do that although the fans will call for it, they won't do it...expecially since Schilling was hurt.

[thomeismyhomie]

If they do lose this game (not that I want that to happen), does Francona lose his job, like Little last year?
No, cause Dave Roberts was safe. Seriously, if he would have been thrown out and Mueller got that hit, the fans would have turned on him, be it right or wrong.

[Nittany Tar Heel]

I want...no, demand....a t-shirt with that picture of Manny pointing on it saying "Keep the Faith"

This must happen.

[PhilaVa]

It would be funnier if I hadnt seen it a million times already. Niners game was a FOX game today

I dunno, I still laugh and I've heard it more then 100 times, something about HOMER.

[PhilaVa]

ball Four

[DaveBrownisgod]

No, cause Dave Roberts was safe. Seriously, if he would have been thrown out and Mueller got that hit, the fans would have turned on him, be it right or wrong.
Bernie Williams was out at third and managed to score the go ahead run back in the 9th. I am surprised they haven't said more of the fact this game would be over, if the ump called it right.

[Nittany Tar Heel]

It benefited the Yankees. Why would they mention it?

[Nittany Tar Heel]

Can they just decline Damon's AB?

[DaveBrownisgod]

It benefited the Yankees. Why would they mention it?
I forgot, what was I thinking. Must be time for me to go to bed.

[DaveBrownisgod]

Can they just decline Damon's AB?
There is always the chance they could hit him.

[PhilaVa]

Ah, I was wondering if Al Leiter had been killed...

[DaveBrownisgod]

Holy shit, Damon got on base.

[PhilaVa]

Haha, at least no matter what Manny and Ortiz will hit in this game again.

Now will they be down or tied when they are doing so...?

[thomeismyhomie]

Man...you knew Damon was going there. BIG

[JRoll]

Haha, at least no matter what Manny and Ortiz will hit in this game again.

Now will they be down or tied when they are doing so...?
Cabrera is going to strike out here.

[DaveBrownisgod]

Haha, at least no matter what Manny and Ortiz will hit in this game again.

Now will they be down or tied when they are doing so...?
With 2 straight innings without a run, I don't see how it could be tied in the bottom of the 12th.

[PhilaVa]

Gordon! Gordon!

[thomeismyhomie]

Cabrera will get a good pitch to hit here though

[DaveBrownisgod]

Man...you knew Damon was going there. BIG
Has the potential to be if Cabrera doesn't see that bear again.

[Nittany Tar Heel]

I can't stay awake...I'm exhausted............going to bed.

Enjoy.......

[PhilaVa]

Cabrera is going to strike out here.

Alright DAMNIT, the negativity will stop now, you're costing the Sox the game.

[thomeismyhomie]

Please Wakefield....please please please just get through this inning man. PLEASE

[Nittany Tar Heel]

Has the potential to be if Cabrera doesn't see that bear again.
You've been repped for citing my bear reference...lol

[DaveBrownisgod]

I can't stay awake...I'm exhausted............going to bed.

Have a good one. I would have been gone long ago if I didn't have the day off tomorrow.

[JRoll]

Alright DAMNIT, the negativity will stop now, you're costing the Sox the game.
Well it didn't help when I was positive so I was tryin reverse psychology, ye who be appearing in my sig :D

[PhilaVa]

You've been repped for citing my bear reference...lol

Later, tell me if you find one of those Manny T-Shirts...

Amen to that brudda...maybe that Manny Ortez guy that's John Kerry's favorite player can come through for the Sox


Wait, is that a political post? If it is, delete it.

That'll get you in trouble, If i was a professor I would be cancelling class for this, I don't have class on mondays but if I did, I wouldn't be attending.

I do have a meeting with my group at 430, uh, I just sent them a email telling them I'm sorry but I can't make it.

It would have been except this is the make up game for the one that was rained out, they aren't even susposed to be playing today, therefore it really would have been shitty to move the Cards - Stros up just for them, lol..

I know :) It just sucks. Hopefully I'll catch some good late-inning action from the Cards game though.

LOL.....my first thought was, "I bet they think I missed that"

Well, ok it wasn't my first thought, but it was the first thought after I had finished running up and down the hall screaming WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO !

[JRoll]

This thread has accounted for 10.5% of the posting for today so far :)

[PhilaVa]

Pedro gets through the first with relative ease...now it's time for some early runs.

Jeta is 0-2 with 2 K's

Who's your daddy Derek?

What a catch by NIXON, sit down AROD.

[PhilaVa]

Good Lord, I don't care about the Sox anymore I just really really hate the Yankees, I wish they would all break an arm or something.

[ryr8828]

I hate that hit by Jeter. That just perpetuates even further the legend that he's a great clutch hitter, which he isn't.

[PhilaVa]

In that case you should refer to him as Gayrod

[PhilaVa]

In that case you should refer to him as Gayrod

Yet he wears lipstick like I aparently do, so, na I still hate him.

If the Sox don't win this series, they have only one thing to look at, they couldn't hit Tanyon Fucking Sturtz, I mean seriously.

[PhilaVa]

David Ortiz is a beast....the Sox have done it again, unbelievable. Now can they finish them off again?

[PhilaVa]

Alan Embree looks like a Pirate out there....


ARRGH!

[PhilaVa]

Oh Johnny Damon, what the fuck is wrong with you?

[PhilaVa]

Brandon Backe has a perfect game on that St. Louis Lineup in the fifth.

[PhilaVa]

Perfect game is gone but he still has a No-No rolling after 5.0 Innings.

[PhilaVa]

Oh that's fucking great, the Yanks get yet another call in their favor, nice job MLB.

[JRoll]

Oh that's fucking great, the Yanks get yet another call in their favor, nice job MLB.
There was no doubt there that he was safe. I think the umpire was surprised that he made it close.

[JRoll]

Varitek can't handle Wakefield's knuckler.

[PhilaVa]

Varitek can't handle Wakefield's knuckler.

Oh my lord, catch that damn ball Jason.

[PhilaVa]

HOLY SHIT, Wakefield is a freaking GOD! He has that pitch working tonight.

[PhilaVa]

No Hitter is gone, 0-0 Backe v. Williams only one hit allowed by each of them.

[JRoll]

Oh my lord, catch that damn ball Jason.
He won't have to worry about Wakefield if he comes to Philly :)

[PhilaVa]

He hasn't been very good at all this series, I'm not seeing why you want him.

[JRoll]

Better arm and more consistent bat.

[JRoll]

Will the Astros game be over before this one? LOL.

[PhilaVa]

Will the Astros game be over before this one? LOL.

I dunno but Wakefield is a badass, just mowing them down. Its time for the Sox to end this...seriously...Thome is going to be home soon and will be able to watch the end of the game.

[DaveBrownisgod]

Will the Astros game be over before this one? LOL.
I am beginning to wonder that question. I just signed on, but this game has been more poorly umpired than last nights so far. Sorry, if I made a comment that has been discussed ad nauseum.

[JRoll]

I dunno but Wakefield is a badass, just mowing them down. Its time for the Sox to end this...seriously...Thome is going to be home soon and will be able to watch the end of the game.
You're such an asshole :D

BTW...Astros game is going to the bottom of the 7th after the best catch I've seen this year by Beltran.

[PhilaVa]

I am beginning to wonder that question. I just signed on, but this game has been more poorly umpired than last nights so far. Sorry, if I made a comment that has been discussed ad nauseum.

Ortiz has been a victim twice his past two times up of bad calls, it's just too bad these umps blow.

[PhilaVa]

Are you kidding me Beltran? He is the MVP of the World Series regarless of whether or not they make it there...

[JRoll]

Are you kidding me Beltran? He is the MVP of the World Series regarless of whether or not they make it there...
He's going to make at least 16-17 million next year. He is the best outfielder in baseball, hands down.

[DaveBrownisgod]

I don't know if anyone else watches the games in HD, but the broadcast in HD has been freaking out during the commercials all night.

[DaveBrownisgod]

He's going to make at least 16-17 million next year. He is the best outfielder in baseball, hands down. Good thing we had no need for a player like that this season.

[ryr8828]

He's going to make at least 16-17 million next year. He is the best outfielder in baseball, hands down.
Sure he's on fire right now, but I wouldn't call him the best OFer in baseball hands down.

[JLove22]

He's going to make at least 16-17 million next year. He is the best outfielder in baseball, hands down.
funny thing is if in some small chance the phillies actually got him, he would suck ass

[PhilaVa]

Come on Cardinals fan, give the man some credit, he is a five tool player. Name another OF that does all 5 things as well as he does...

[JRoll]

Pujols was one of the best when he played the outfield but he moved to first now.

[PhilaVa]

Yet another bad call on strike 2 there...nice...

[PhilaVa]

Its David Ortiz

[ryr8828]

JD Drew's a 5 tool player also, but that doesn't make him the best.

Just off the top of my head and going by past stats, both Bonds and Edmonds are better.

I know there are a few more. Like I said Beltran's on fire right now, he can do no wrong.

[PhilaVa]

The Cardinals / Astros game is in the bottom of the 8th...LoL...

[DaveBrownisgod]

Damn, got a little excited there for a second.

But Beltran is better then Drew, and well better then Bonds and Edmonds, Bonds is a better hitter, Edmonds is a better feilder but that doesn't mean they are all around better, he is the best all around OF in the game.

Lets Go Cardinals

[ryr8828]

Just this season-MLB hitter OPS, offense plus slugging.
Bonds 1.422
Helton (plays in Colorado, shouldn't count)
Pujols
Edmonds in 4th, 1.061
Berkman in 6th, 1.016
Manny Ramirez in 7th, 1.009
Drew in 9th, 1.006
Vlad in 11th, .989
Beltran .915 which would put him in 24th right behind Jeremy Burnitz.

Revisit my earlier post about him being on fire right now. Beltran hit .267 this year.

I was at a banquet tonight and missed most of the game....do we have any idea who starts Game 6? I saw Schilling in the pen, but I don't think they'd have him there if they thought he was throwing Game 6.

Curt Schilling will be pitching Game 6. I guess Francona's thinking is you must get to Game 6 before you select a pitcher for the game.

Na, he said yesterday Schilling is the starter for Game 6, the only problem being if there would be a game 6 or not. I think he went out to the Pen with Lowe and Arroyo late in the game to keep them company and rile up the crowd.

I think he had Schilling out there in case he needed him. You don't know how long that game would've gone and Schilling was fresh.

[PhilaVa]

Revisit my earlier post about him being on fire right now. Beltran hit .267 this year.

Hey, I never said he was the best hitter in the league, and I'd also like to point out that he switched leagues this year, no easy task to keep your BA up when you switch leagues. I said he is the best all around OF in the game, some may hit better then him, but none of them have his speed.

[Nittany Tar Heel]

Wow-I'm surprised.

Not that they have a bunch of options though. Let's hope we get the real Schilling and the real Lieber, also.

Arroyo in Game 7? Blecccchhh. Though he sounded terrific tonight.

[PhilaVa]

There is no way Schilling was coming in that game unless it was at least 4 or 5 more innings down the road, it was possible but I doubt it. Leskanic and Mendoza would have seen action before schilling in my opinion.

Lowe comes in before Schill and he would have been good for 4 or so.

I'm with Phila here.

Kent kinda killed that ball.

He was 100% better tonight, and I think Francona took him out knowing he might need him in Game 7. They are going to be on Gas if they can get to a Game 7 but I cannot believe it, they have starred down Rivera twice in the late innings and won them both when they had no other choice.

and what did I tell you all about Houston....yeah.

The Red Sox are the one team that's always had Rivera's number - at least as much as you can have his number.

Why can't I shake the feeling that we're just building up for a more agonizing way for the Red Sox to lose?

But what a night of baseball...whew..........sure would be nice to have the Phils involved one of these decades.

I'm just happy we got a couple good games out of this series, and we get to see Schilling tommorrow although I just heard the weather is bad in New York.

Another thing to consider is the Yanks are on fumes in the Pen also, Rivera has pitched two straight games of two innings, and hasn't been successful.

Foulke has pitched the equivalent of that also. So both closers are shot for tommorrow night.

[PhilaVa]

I'm willing to bet Foulke could come in tommorrow for an inning before Rivera could due to the type of pitcher he is.... At this point niether team has any other options, Advantage Hitters.

Schilling and Lieber are the rested ones here, Lieber is on extra rest, Schilling is on six days rest and he only threw like 53 pitches in his last start.

Like Francona said, Schilling may throw 180 pitches tommorrow...

Schilling will throw as many pitches as he wants to throw and then the pitcher he wants to come in will come in. Schilling manages that team, not Francona, LOL.

[thomeismyhomie]

What's up guys? Wow...another classic between the Sox and Yanks. I didnt get to see any of Backe's performance cause we dont have cable at work. I did however go and get a tv before work so I got to see the whole game. Ortiz is unbelieveable. I thought he was going to blow and get tossed after those two questionable calls. Foulke did another good job and the rest of Boston's pen was great. How about how bad Myers made Matsui look? Those last two games were a die-hard baseball fans dream. Hopefully the game can get played in NYC tomorrow and Schilling can get the win.

Ortiz is amazing, but I think Thome would be the same way in the post-season. He has 16 post-season HR's in his career, Thome that is.

Ok guys.....do we have another classic on our hands? Is it even possible? Schilling still looks as if he'll start tonight and they'll need him to go deep. The first team to go to their pen loses IMO. Guess I'm going to have to bust out the old TV again at work.

Dude, I'm just so happy they actually had a couple good games with some great endings, everything else from here on out is peachy for me, Schilling will dominate tonight and we'll have a fun spring training game 7 tommorrow where everyone pitches 1 inning...LoL...

To be honest you can say the same exact thing about the Yankee Pen too, Schilling is going to go at least 7 or 8...

The key word in there is at least. Assuming this game is like one of the last 2. I will say Schilling goes 13, and strikes out 22.

He'll throw over 100, unless he is ineffective again, even then he'll still throw near 75, they just have no choice.

My friends and I had a big discussion about this last night and we all agree CBS has the absolute worst broadcasts for all sports. ABC and Fox turn out really well and NBC does a decent job with the little bits that they get, but CBS just seems to use inferior equipment or something. They don't even broadcast their NFL games in HD any more. Comcast is broadcasting tonights preseason Sixers game in HD. Something isn't right over there.

NBC doesn't have jack as far as major Sports and I would still put them far and beyond what CBS does every week. CBS is the toilet of the major networks and who would have thought that 10 years ago with FOX being in the mix...
