friday same thing...still no comparison till monday

but yes i agree games should start at the same time and/or overlap

for sports its not a massive deal. especially with the mnf game it aint that big a of a difference.

This time, Philadelphia did damage to Street. yay political jokes

The Dodgers have Bowa, Thome, Wolf, Padilla and Eric Milton (out for the year).....all members of the '04 Phils

TBS video clips at MLB.com

listen to Anderson's excitement in Colorado's 8th, then listen to our 9th....

Where is he from?

He's the Brewers' PBP announcer.

Same dude we had last year in the NLDS. Lucky us.

Does MLB not have the start times finalized yet? I just checked mlb.com and all games are still TBD. I could see game 5 and beyond but are they not able to schedule games 1 -4?

great jayson stark article. lots of quote worthy tid-bits in there. my fav 2:

jimmy:

Quote"So I think," he said, "that's why we never use the word 'repeat,' because you get caught up in the fact that it should happen the same way. You think it just should happen, right? Noooooo. You have to make it happen. Every pitch, every at-bat, you have to find a way."

QuoteThe night before, Lidge had challenged him with fastballs. This time, the reborn closer knew he had to change it up. So he tossed up four straight sliders and ran the count to 2-and-2.

Catcher Carlos Ruiz trotted to the mound. They agreed this was the spot for one final slider. Ruiz raised his glove and whispered through the webbing: "Give me your good one."

Well, Brad Lidge got the message. He rocked. He fired. He broke off one of those invisible, man-eating, see-ya-later sliders right out of his 2008 scrapbook. Tulowitzki started to hack, tried to stop and couldn't. And the Phillies had become the fifth NL team in history to win four straight postseason series.

They're just lazy. Everything is set already...

Chances Sarge gets shanked?

It just occured to me no wonder so many gangbangers hated on Philly last year, red jerseys

Sgt PSN · October 13, 2009, 03:13:09 PM

given my charming personality, i'd set the odds at 3:1. 1:1 if i decide to wear my 08 champs hat.

MDS · October 13, 2009, 03:27:36 PM

hey sarge,

i hope you dont get shanked. i enjoy your poems.

from,

one of the owners we never see (John Middleton)

Listening to a Denver sports talk show on the internet. It's all starting to make sense now.

MDS · October 13, 2009, 10:42:14 PM
