PrintThe series is tied at one, and the matchup, back in Philly, is Matt Garza and Jamie Moyer.
Should be interesting. All those Rays hitters who have unresolved issues with their fathers will be thinking two things: "I'm gonna kick his ass!" and "Man, pops looks old!"
The Phillies, for their part, may wish they could sign Manny Ramirez a couple months early.
Game time is "7:00" CT, and here's the BR Game Preview.
Go Rays!

Bummer night for Fox
I wonder what the ratings are like for this Saturday night game that had a 90 minute rain delay before the first pitch.
Obscure baseball records and more at my blog, Recondite Baseball.
Geoff Jenkins appearance
Worked the count full before grounding out in his World Series debut.

Talk to yourself much?
Where is everyone?
"If loving CC is wrong I do not want to be right"
"If lovin’ Braun is wrong, I want to be a repeat offender"
Pujols is there tonight for the Clemente award
I don’t think that’s enough to mess with Lidge, they’re going to have to put him into a uniform.
The Rays...
Never seen a team that actually makes “small ball” work like this before.
I think Dale Sveum catches on there as a bench coach in the offseason. I’m sure Maddon likes the cut of his jib.
Great fooking game.
Wrong team won. If the wind didn’t kill Evans shot this game plays out even more crazy.
i thought...
the ball was gonna go foul, tough play for longoria though
should have let it roll
I think by the attempt he did make he felt he really didn’t have a chance. so why not just let it roll? I know, heat of the moment, trying to be a hero and all that…
Also, why not just have 6-7 infielders if going with 5?:P Can you station one halfway down the 1st or 3rd base line in foul territory or standing directly behind the pitcher?
crazy crazy last couple innings. That throw by the Rays catcher (to center) was just horrid.

Fielders have to be in fair territory

and i assume, not actually on the mound

but i would assume that you could stand to the left or right of the mound?

Rule 4.03(c)
“Except the pitcher and the catcher, any fielder may station himself anywhere in fair territory.”
Obscure baseball records and more at my blog, Recondite Baseball.
so...if he wanted to suffer severe personal injury
he could station himself about 5 feet from the batters box down the first base line and screen the batter a bit from the pitch and jump up and down and act obnoxiouslike?
Or are there movement restrictions?

Rule 4.06(b)
"No fielder shall take a position in the batter’s line of vision, and with deliberate unsportsmanlike intent, act in a manner to distract the batter.
PENALTY: The offender shall be removed from the game and shall leave the playing field, and, if a balk is made, it shall be nullified."

Does anyone know where I can get the off-the-field rules of baseball?
Particularly the rules on betting. I’m writing a paper on Pete Rose and would like to use that info.

MLB Rule 21 covers betting and other misconduct
There’s probably some stuff you could use here.

Thanks Jay!
That site looks like it could work pretty well.

it looks like it is attributed to Eli's mlb rumors site
Here is his self description: Eli, who is just seventeen years old, lives in Chicago with his family. He is a senior at a local high school and has taken a liking to journalism, communications, and business as a future career possibilities.
That sounds like the kind of guy who would have a MLB executive as a source. I’ll bet its someone like Steve Stone talking on Chicago radio. He’s always good for a chuckle.
If it turns out to be Macha, he gets cred, if not he can nuke it and it dissolves into time.
If he's going into journalism, he may want to learn about agreement.
“As a future career possibilities”. What if he ends up like sports writers for the J-S and doesn’t have any editing?

Looking up Uecker on Wikipedia, here's a quote of his I like:
“I was born and raised in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Actually, I was born in Illinois. My mother and father were on an oleo margarine run to Chicago back in 1934, because we couldn’t get colored margarine in Wisconsin. On the way home, my mother was with child. Me. And the pains started, and my dad pulled off into an exit area, and that’s where the event took place. I remember it was a Nativity type setting. An exit light shining down. There were three truck drivers there. One guy was carrying butter, one guy had frankfurters, and the other guy was a retired baseball scout who told my folks that I probably had a chance to play somewhere down the line.”

"The highlight of my career? In ’67 with St. Louis, I walked with the bases loaded to drive in the winning run in an inter-squad game in spring training."
"People don’t know this but I helped the Cardinals win the pennant. I came down with hepatitis. The trainer injected me with it."
I endorse Blengino.
looking around at Athleticsnation
In this thread was this bizarre story:
Where did we go for the talk? Billy zipped right into Macha’s office, which was empty for the time being, plopped down and started eating.
Looked at me, said, “Go ahead, ask.” Usually, everybody stays out of the manager’s office, by the way, unless the manager is there and is fine with it. Not the A’s way, though.
I started asking (questions), but a few minutes later Macha and Curt Young came back, with plates of food and just in their underwear, obviously looking to eat, change clothes and relax.
They stared at us, I stared at them, Billy just kept eating and talking.
Macha tenatively sat down behind his desk for a few seconds. Very uncomfortable. Shot another glance at Beane. Glared at me. I shrugged, said to Beane, “Umm, maybe we should do this somewhere else.”
Beane looked up like this was the first he’d noticed Macha was there-or cared that he was there-dropped his plate, then just waved at Macha, pointing him out the door. Remember, this was Macha’s own office. After winning for something like the 33rd time in 40 games.
“Ken, you can let us do this, right?” Beane said as he waved.
Beane turned back to me and never looked at Macha again as Macha and Young sighed, got up, and moved out.
That was the relationship. Right there.
