If the Marlins win tonight Beckett might pitch tomorrow! And if they lose he is almost definitely pitching. Suweeeeeet!

Well that was certainly a quick bottom of the first.

Yeah but you can still attribute it to shitty defense, even if it was his. What I meant by that statement was that it's not like he doesn't have any stuff working tonight, or that he got shelled, or anything like that. Besides his error, it would have been 0-0

Nothing to worry about in terms of Penny not being on. That run was 100% poor defense.

What is up with the board? The last two games I have been by myself until the late innings. Now I see names! at the bottom. You all just getting interested now?

Meh. 1-0 Yanks already.

Man oh man.

This year, maybe. But a fluke and a cinderella are two totally different things. It's not like they snuck into the playoffs. Wildcard, yes. They also had 91 wins and more wins than the NL Central winning Cubs. They might not make it back to the playoffs next year, but they are going to do well. Especially with the pitching staff FINALLY maturing like has been predicted for years.

Giambi and Soriano out?! YES! And Choken, the Marlins aren't a fluke. I'll be around to remind you of that next season.

There is heavy talk from Marlins camp that because Redman was so ineffective, Willis might get the call for Game 6. He pitched well in the Bronx in game one. We'll see what McKeon actually does.

Since the WS ran long and I missed the replay...when do they replay new episodes during the week? Really want to catch this episode.

Just got my Trodgor the Burninator hooded sweatshirt in the mail today. It's pretty sweet.

Current ESPN.com Sportsnation poll. (2:08 PM Thursday) Who will win the World Series? Marlins 53.6% Yankees 46.3% Votes: 147,595

Yeah I have Fox 5...on Channel 8.

Well, I kinda want the Yankees to lose. I could really care less if they're loose, but I hear that Jeter is a bit of a swinger. Mole, maybe I would care if you weren't the dumbest person I have ever encountered on the internet, and that, my friend, is saying a lot.

C'mon, Choken, there is no evidence of that either. The Marlins are a purely farm system built team, with the exception of Pudge. Just because it happened once doesn't mean it's definitely going to happen again.

Ehh I had already ran through all my daily website reads and had 20 minutes to kill. I have been flamed by Mole. I need to hang my head and contemplate where I went wrong.

Hey there has been nothing to show that he's going to do something like that. He actually added payroll.

What insight, Bob.

I think I just woke up all 8 people in my house. Euphoric for the rest of my night.

YES!!!@!

I was talking to the ump. I thought the 0-2 pitch to Bernie was a strike. I played baseball my whole life. That's what you call the ump.

c'mon blue!

Man, Bernie has been deadly. Let's hope he doesn't go 5-6 here.

thanks a laugh amidst all this tension.
