devo Posted September 23, 2006 Report Posted September 23, 2006 Mets get their bats working for the first time in about ten days, as they put together a six-run rally in the fifth that features a three-run Wright home run.
strummer Posted September 23, 2006 Report Posted September 23, 2006 Finally the Mets score some runs and did Fox have to add the "PepsiClutch" hit of the week or whatever shit.
UseTheSledgehammerUh Posted September 23, 2006 Report Posted September 23, 2006 Rollins hits #23, Marlins are dead. It would make me very happy that the Phillies have KO'd the Marlins and Astros from postseason contention with two sweeps, I sure hope they can finish Florida off today & tomorrow. Two clubs that broke the Phillies hearts the last time they got close to the WC. 1st and 3rd for Ryan Howard now after Chase and GO GO VICTORINO get on...better pitch to him, Girardi. Edit: Howard goes down swinging, damn.
EVIL~! alkeiper Posted September 23, 2006 Report Posted September 23, 2006 Yeah these FOX broadcasters are awful. I've got the TV on and 1210 rockin'. Damn 1 second TV delay, though. Also: Joe Girardi's a jerk. Some friends and I will be attending tomorrow and Monday's games. We're contemplating bringing "PLEASE PITCH TO MY DADDY" signs. I'll be at Sunday's game as well. Keep an eye out for a guy in Section 303 wearing a Reading Phillies throwback jersey.
tominator89 Posted September 23, 2006 Report Posted September 23, 2006 Al, will you be booing Pat Burrell with the rest of the people in attendance?
Guest Felonies! Posted September 23, 2006 Report Posted September 23, 2006 I invented this thing. I can repeat all the cheeses I want. Wait till next week when we do lunch meats. Then I can really "ham" it up. Don't even think about starting that baloney.
EVIL~! alkeiper Posted September 23, 2006 Report Posted September 23, 2006 Al, will you be booing Pat Burrell with the rest of the people in attendance? If it's warrented, but I tend not to boo players often. Burrell's productive, but I get the impression that he does NOT change his approach no matter the situation.
Spaceman Spiff Posted September 23, 2006 Report Posted September 23, 2006 What the hell is that yellow tarp in Chicago?!
UseTheSledgehammerUh Posted September 23, 2006 Report Posted September 23, 2006 Marlins get a bullshit 2-run homerun after Balkin' Bob Davidson, Phillies hater of MANNNNY years, calls strike 3 a ball. 6-4 phils now bottom 8.
UseTheSledgehammerUh Posted September 23, 2006 Report Posted September 23, 2006 Al, what was the crowd chanting during Coste's at bat? Another intentional walk on Howard. Then former PHILLIE KILLING MARLIN (now MARLIN KILLING PHILLIE) Jeff Conine cracks a big double. 8-4 with 1 out, and bases loaded now. Girardi throws Intentional Walks out (4 today) like candy.
Brett Favre Posted September 23, 2006 Report Posted September 23, 2006 Bob Davidson is that guy that tried helping the US win in the WBC right? That guy is the worst umpire i've ever seen.

I don't know what they were chanting. Home run for Cody Ross. Hopefully we don't see three more.
Guest Felonies! Posted September 23, 2006 Report Posted September 23, 2006 What the FUCK, Tom Gordon?
devo Posted September 23, 2006 Report Posted September 23, 2006 Is anybody getting the Mets/Nationals game? If so, who's hurt? Gameday only says that there's an injury delay.
EVIL~! alkeiper Posted September 23, 2006 Report Posted September 23, 2006 Is anybody getting the Mets/Nationals game? If so, who's hurt? Gameday only says that there's an injury delay. Austin Kearns and Nick Johnson collided in the outfield. Apparently Nick Johnson is badly hurt.
devo Posted September 23, 2006 Report Posted September 23, 2006 Yeesh. I was wondering how Wright managed a triple. Hope it's not too serious.
UseTheSledgehammerUh Posted September 23, 2006 Report Posted September 23, 2006 ONCE AGAIN, *YOUR* WILDCARD co LEADING PHILLIES
EVIL~! alkeiper Posted September 23, 2006 Report Posted September 23, 2006 Johnson is being carted off the field, and they're immobilizing his leg.
EVIL~! alkeiper Posted September 23, 2006 Report Posted September 23, 2006 Just caught the replay. Kearns and Johnson both went for the ball and both slid. Johnson caught Kearns awkwardly. Vidro immediately motioned for assistance while running after the ball. Austin Kearns was taken out of the game as well. He was fairly upset in right field.
Slayer Posted September 23, 2006 Report Posted September 23, 2006 Slayer's was just...weird. I don't know what that thing about Clemens "leaving a sore ass when he comes out" thing was about. I hate to explain jokes, but Gubment cheese was excess cheese given to welfare folk during the Reagan administration and tended to give people diarrhea. Clemens tended to leave franchises not unlike diarrhea... plus he was pretty good at fucking them in the ass. Cheech13's post was good at documenting this.

Then I can really "ham" it up. Don't even think about starting that baloney. I believe the proper spelling is "bologna"...jive turkey.
Mik Posted September 23, 2006 Report Posted September 23, 2006 I'm not the least bit surprised that the Marlins flamed out, but this was a great season. Just tremendous. I can't wait until opening day next season and I truly, truly hope they use some of that excess money to sign Dontrelle to a long term deal. Sure - he can probably bring back a ton of prospects including the desperately needed CF prospect (Chris Young would be ideal) but he's more than just a pitcher. He's the face of the franchise and one of the most likeable players in all of baseball. It would just be a deadly, deadly mistake to trade him. Same goes for Cabrera but I don't think even Jeff Loria is dumb enough to get rid of him.
EVIL~! alkeiper Posted September 23, 2006 Report Posted September 23, 2006 Same goes for Cabrera but I don't think even Jeff Loria is dumb enough to get rid of him. Don't underestimate Loria's stupidity. This is a man who has twice tried to suck on purpose and failed miserably.
Precious Roy Posted September 23, 2006 Report Posted September 23, 2006 What the fuck is wrong with Loria?!?? He's going to get rid of a manager who in his rookie year has a team everyone thought would be in last as a wild card spoiler longshot (they can't possibly win it, but even so) because Girardi had the gall to tell him to stop yelling at an ump in the middle of a game?!!!? That is seriously some of the dumbest shit I've ever heard. As far as Girardi becoming Yankees manger in "a perfect world..." I'd like to see him back on the staff, but I don't really think he's ready to manage a team like the Yankees with so many all-star players and oversized egos. Managing a bunch of kids is one thing, but I think the Yankee clubhouse might eat a guy who's basically a peer alive. And who knows what might happen between him and George. The Devil Rays need to fire whoever the fuck is managing their team now and go hard after Joe G
Precious Roy Posted September 23, 2006 Report Posted September 23, 2006 Oh yeah, forgot.... Loria is a real ass....iago
UseTheSledgehammerUh Posted September 23, 2006 Report Posted September 23, 2006 "the Marlins flamed out, but this was a great season." This makes absolutely no sense. A season that gives a little hope to next year, maybe.
jwest27 Posted September 23, 2006 Report Posted September 23, 2006 Considering most people expected them to lose 100 games, this was a great season for them.
Mik Posted September 23, 2006 Report Posted September 23, 2006 How not? A team with a $15M payroll predicted to lose 100+ games was within 1.5 games of the wild card into September. How is that not a great season?
Guest Felonies! Posted September 23, 2006 Report Posted September 23, 2006 The Devil Rays need to fire whoever the fuck is managing their team now and go hard after Joe G Joe Maddon, the old Angels bench coach, is managing the Rays. I think they're pretty committed to him, and I wanted to see a sabermetrics-friendly manager do well. Shame about the bad season. Did anyone else catch "have you read Moneyball, that book where supposedly Billy Beane is a genius and everyone else is Barney Fife? Well maybe they didn't fleece the White Sox after all, haha!"
