What can we hope for?

What can we hope happens that does not involve a natural disaster, act of war or anything else terrible which causes this series to never finish? Umps get busted for gambling? Congress repeals MLB’s anti trust status and it becomes an illegal business causing cancellation of the WS? There must be something.

by TDJ on Oct 28, 2009 8:06 PM EDT reply actions   0 recs

actually

our best case scenario is probably a repeat of the 1919 World Series. One team wins, but then it’s found out after that the other team took money to throw the series. That way, it casts the winner in doubt.

Who just saw Rollins give up an out on the first pitch?

Wasn’t it gritty the way he just bunted right into that out without making anybody work? Way to set the tone for the series, give up an out on a crap base hit bunt attempt on the first pitch.

which means there are infinite rest stops between the two.

speaking of Harry Kalas

Was anyone at the home opener this past season? If you were, did you notice that a bunch of the crowd booed during the moment of silence they had for Harry Kalas? I still don’t understand how people can be that fucked up. It’s a media-made rivalry between two baseball teams, you don’t boo the memory of someone for that.

Dunno who the announcers are

I’m listening to ESPN international so I have no idea who the guys calling it are; they seem pretty good defiantly better than Joe Buck. They said its actually good thing to get on base and haven’t called any Phillies “gritty” yet, so far so good

Joe Girardi should teach his players the rules of baserunning, specifically that you’re supposed to stand on the base, not off of it.

Tried watching it and I didn't really like it.

I go more for Edgar Wright’s stuff. Shaun of the Dead and Hot Fuzz were teh aw3sumz!!

Hot Fuzz > Shaun of the Dead

Even though both are great

In the "More Guns and Violence" category, yeah.

In terms of sheer cheeky black humor, I’d go slightly more with Shaun.

In any event, I love them all equally. I wonder when the next offering is going to come out.

I prefer Shaun of the Dead

but to each his own. They’re both great.

#1 reason I can't wait for the WS to end

Tired of hearing Mets fans whining about how bad life is because the Yanks and Phils are in the WS.

by lstorie1971 on Oct 28, 2009 10:41 PM EDT reply actions   0 recs

I don't think the WS is bad

any day with baseball beats a day without

I miss Mets games

I cant really get into the WS with this bunch. It’s like nails on the chalkboard

Replace baseball with hockey

Now that I can’t live without.

I don't think life's bad at all.

I just don’t like this series and therefore, I choose not to watch.

Tomorrow...

I have an all day meeting with a prospective client. I am going to be locked up in a conference room most of the day without being able to listen to the belly-aching phone calls to Francesa.

Life isn’t fair sometimes.

Consider that a good thing.

Meanwhile, as an intern at a Philly radio station, I have to hear non-stop blabbering about how gritty and great the Phillies are.

Please shoot me.

are there any former Mets playing in this series?

right

totally blanked on him. I was thinking of bench players and relievers

I don't count him

I’d say they have to actually play for the big club

just sayin’

If the Phillies win

will it put pressure on the Wilpons to make major moves this winter? I’m talking a big time pitcher and a bit bat LF’er?

by lstorie1971 on Oct 28, 2009 10:56 PM EDT reply actions   0 recs

that is my reason for wanting them to win

besides beating up on Yankee fans at work all winter.

by fxcarden on Oct 28, 2009 10:57 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

like Francesa says....

sign Holliday, sign Lackey if you can, and go camp outside Doc Halladay’s house

by fxcarden on Oct 28, 2009 10:58 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

Not only that.

But one way or another, this group of players will not last. I see at least one or two of them going bye-bye in trades for star power.

THAT is the Mets' M.O.

when in doubt bring in a star to sell tickets.

yea

if it takes the outcome of a 7 game series to kick the Wilpons into gear, we’re fucked anyway.

Dick Torino getting thrown out at the plate

is easily the highlight of this World Series so far

nice start

How great would it be if the Phillies “choke” away this game?

by boom_roasted on Oct 28, 2009 11:23 PM EDT reply actions   0 recs

I'm already dreading the ridiculous stories tomorrow.

He may have had a great playoffs so far, but A-Rod choked big time where it really matters— in the World Series.

Buck

Always amazed when a cruising starting pitcher is still throwing hard in the 9th. I mean. They are pro athletes

1 game down,

3 to go until total Yankees Lose bliss. NO PRESSURE in Game 2. GO PEDRO!!!!

You may have Utley, Howard, Rollins, Hamels, and Lidge...but, WE have Fernando Tatis, baby. Two grand slames in one inning. Hello??
