For whatever it's worth

Weak swings and weak contact against Pedro in the first.

Who knows how long he’ll be in there, but I bet on the Phillies today because I don’t expect Pedro to be ineffective in the playoffs.

That's all I've got for you today, unless you're interested in some Chris Capuano/Tom Haudricourt Fan Fiction.

George Lopez and Haas Avocado

…those sound like the sponsors of Kasey Kahne’s car for the Nationwide/Busch series tonight. XD

…now where’s the switcher???

If you're looking for a multitasking opportunity

Try to beat my score: I was able to name 103 players off the World Series Champion starting lineups.

podsednik, belliard, sheffield?

110/198

And it would have been more if I had remembered the ‘88 A’s were on that list. >>

134

but the only Dodger I got was Orel.

by jimf on Oct 16, 2009 7:08 PM CDT up reply actions   0 recs

I got 121.

And the only Dodger I got was Steve Sax.

You know me Al.

Oh, wow

The Brewers aren’t the only team who uses the ribbon board to tell their fans to wave their towels. I was so embarrassed last September when the MP ribbon board said “WAVE THE TOWEL!” Oh, is that why you gave them out? So seeing the Dodgers do the same makes me feel slightly better about it.

You've got a couple screws missin' up in your toolbox, if you think that you'll stop this man from hittin' moonshots.

by hawing on Oct 16, 2009 5:36 PM CDT reply actions   0 recs

Not me.

We’re talking about the same Dodger fans that had the wave going in the eighth inning of a 1-0 NLCS game.

That's all I've got for you today, unless you're interested in some Chris Capuano/Tom Haudricourt Fan Fiction.

I think almost every ballpark has that these days

in the form of directions to “make some noise!” etc. I’ve seen it in Colorado and Minnesota. I don’t recall seeing it in Detroit. Mostly what gets flashed there are horrible player name-based puns.

I miss CC

I'm sorry if that means we can't be pretend internet friends

nah, it's OK

I don’t hate the Yankees.

BTW, I also hate bad baserunning. I’d trust Alex Rodriguez over Nick Punto on when to run through a stop sign, but this wasn’t the night to do it.

by morineko on Oct 16, 2009 9:24 PM CDT up reply actions   0 recs

I hate bad fielding

so I hope nobody leaves a ball on top of the bullpen wall like in every other Yankees home game I’ve watched this year.
