Well, shit. That's probably the ball game. Tigers in 4.

North Carolina is a really, really bad team.

I hate that I'm not going to be able to stay up past the ninth.

Looking at ESPN.com's front page, I can see that AIG is going to get a lot of free advertising. Chavez is perfectly framed against their "THE STRENGTH TO BE THERE" slogan on the left field wall.

He's warming up.

I can't believe Suppan is still in there. Amazing.

Realistically, they'll need to save someone, and it'll probably be either Oliver or Trachsel. I'd feel more comfortable with Oliver pitching a few innings in relief than wasting him on just an inning or so.

Yes. He was my favourite jobber when I was a kid. Get well soon, Mike.

Just a guess, but he might be saving him for extra innings if they need someone to go long.

Yeah, it would be a suspended game.

How incredible would a Chavez hit be right now?

Starting to rain. Great.

Too bad Valentin is going to hit into a DP here.

Whoa, Eckstein made a mistake. Sportswriters across the country are in shock. EDIT: Never mind, it was Rolen.

That might be the end for Perez.

OMFG what a catch.

I wasn't even sure if I should post this one: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SUkSL2bqZOM A horse racing accident that needs to be seen to be believed. I'm pretty sure the jockey lived, although both horses died.

After 5 games plus two periods: 1 power play goal, 3 shorthanded goals against. Ladies and gentlemen, your 2006-07 Ottawa Senators. Yes, I'm a little bitter.

No, it's real. So gloriously real. http://www.amazon.com/Complete-Idiots-Guid...l/dp/0028617436

Duck! Rabbit! Duck! is my personal fave.

Khabibulin had a great game. He usually has one or two a month now.

Probably not, I haven't posted there much lately. I go by True North there. I stopped playing poker about 6 weeks ago, because I was burned out, and because I was anticipating the downturn after the Safe Ports Act was passed. I was into sports betting last year; I may get back into it if I can build a decent-sized roll.

No Bill Frist?

I had the exact same thought when I heard Perez was starting. It's Game 7, you may as well throw everyone out there. You also have the advantage of no one getting very tired. Of course, that didn't seem to matter with Trachsel in Game 3, but whatever. Al, did you see Rob Neyer's article today about how Perez is the worst starting pitcher for a Game 7 in history? Suppan was right at the bottom of the list as well.

Bullshit as in stupid, or bullshit as in unbelievable? The picture is real.
