"Out of the jaws of death".

2. PatrickInTheWoods, Apostate Posted: October 06, 2007 at 01:15 PM (#2564114)

Thanks, Primer Chimp!

The Flyers play tonight at 8. Don't know yet if that's good or bad. Probably bad.

3. PatrickInTheWoods, Apostate Posted: October 06, 2007 at 04:27 PM (#2564219)

Temple won. Don't know yet if that's good or bad.

4. E., Hinske Posted: October 06, 2007 at 05:52 PM (#2564291)

Bad. Joffrey Lupul is on your team.

5. Boots Day Posted: October 06, 2007 at 06:10 PM (#2564305)

It's going to be a beautiful evening, by the way. It's sunny and in the 70s now, probably be in the 60s tonight, although it's pretty windy out.

6. Bicycle RepairMan Posted: October 06, 2007 at 06:43 PM (#2564351)

Let me embrace thee, sour adversity, For wise men say it is the wisest course.

7. PatrickInTheWoods, Apostate Posted: October 06, 2007 at 07:03 PM (#2564370)

Nice.

8. Templeusox has Red-State Street Cred Posted: October 06, 2007 at 09:31 PM (#2564670)

Please win, Phillies. One of these series needs to get interesting, quick.

9. Gamingboy Posted: October 06, 2007 at 09:37 PM (#2564680)

If Moyer's stuff is off tonight, it's going to be a massacre.

10. Paul DepoProvera Posted: October 06, 2007 at 09:37 PM (#2564681)

I am cheering for Jamie, and the many years of fine service he gave to the Mariners.

11. Lassus Posted: October 06, 2007 at 09:39 PM (#2564683)

I'll be sad when baseball ends because then it's going to be death by football bludgeoning the rest of the year.

12. Paul DepoProvera Posted: October 06, 2007 at 09:40 PM (#2564685)

11 - dude, hockey.

13. Gamingboy Posted: October 06, 2007 at 09:41 PM (#2564687)

Fun with Anagrams:

Ubaldo Jimenez= Joined, bum laze.

14. PatrickInTheWoods, Apostate Posted: October 06, 2007 at 09:41 PM (#2564688)

Here we go. Go Phils!

15. Lassus Posted: October 06, 2007 at 09:45 PM (#2564691)

12 - I'm sorry to say I find hockey to be a sport from countries where the weather is too terrible to play soccer. Also, barely anyone in the country is aware it has even started.

16. Lassus Posted: October 06, 2007 at 09:46 PM (#2564692)

Nice pitch to sit Burrell down there. You can see his knees in 20% buckle.

17. Gamingboy Posted: October 06, 2007 at 09:46 PM (#2564694)

Hockey's started?

18. MSI Posted: October 06, 2007 at 09:47 PM (#2564696)

If you ever give hockey a shot...well its a really solid sport. There's a lot of talent there (like Sydney Crosby), good hits and plays, lots of fights....and the playoffs are really intense. It's a lot faster paced than baseball.

19. Lassus Posted: October 06, 2007 at 09:49 PM (#2564698)

You know, the last time I was in Coors Field (2003) there were a lot less people there. What a fun crowd.

20. Paul DepoProvera Posted: October 06, 2007 at 09:51 PM (#2564703)

18 - and definitely see a game in person. There is a lot of energy there.

21. Gamingboy Posted: October 06, 2007 at 09:51 PM (#2564704)

I was joking. I like Hockey, but it is probably my 3rd favorite sport.

22. MSI Posted: October 06, 2007 at 09:51 PM (#2564706)

Here are 1000 more for Ubaldo...

http://wordsmith.org/anagram/anagram.cgi?anagram=Ubaldo+Jimenez&t=1000

23. Lassus Posted: October 06, 2007 at 09:52 PM (#2564707)

If you ever give hockey a shot...well its a really solid sport. There's a lot of talent there (like Sydney Crosby), good hits and plays, lots of fights....and the playoffs are really intense. It's a lot faster paced than baseball.

Well, I'm from northern New York, which is rather close to Canada, and even worse weather (Great Lakes), so I have given hockey a chance - they play it all year. Subjectively, it's just too chaotic for me, not as much control over what's going on as I need to find it entertaining.

And let us not get started on the logic that "lots of fights" would make anything a solid sport.

24. MSI Posted: October 06, 2007 at 09:52 PM (#2564710)

Yeah hockey is my 5th favourite. Baseball, basketball, football, tennis, hockey.

25. MSI Posted: October 06, 2007 at 09:53 PM (#2564714)

you don't find fights entertaining? What about baseball brawls?

26. Lassus Posted: October 06, 2007 at 09:53 PM (#2564715)

I love that comment on Jamie Moyer. Did he just say "he can hit 82 if he really rears back?" Hilarious.

27. Gamingboy Posted: October 06, 2007 at 09:55 PM (#2564717)

Jamie Moyer = I am mere joy.

28. Best Dressed Chicken in Town Posted: October 06, 2007 at 09:55 PM (#2564718)

Cuba Gooding needs to die now.

Michael Jordan, of course, should have died years ago.

29. Lassus Posted: October 06, 2007 at 09:55 PM (#2564721)

25 - um, what about them? Do I cheer when they happen and consider them part of the sport? No and no.

I have a weird feeling this is going to be a low-scoring game.

30. Gamingboy Posted: October 06, 2007 at 09:57 PM (#2564723)

THE LIGHTS! THE LIGHTS! THE LIGHTS!

31. Lassus Posted: October 06, 2007 at 09:57 PM (#2564724)

WHOA

32. Best Dressed Chicken in Town Posted: October 06, 2007 at 09:57 PM (#2564725)

Entering this post before the nationwide blackout hits NY....

33. Dan Posted: October 06, 2007 at 09:57 PM (#2564726)

uhh what

34. Bernal Diaz has an angel on his shoulder. Posted: October 06, 2007 at 09:58 PM (#2564728)

Ha. That is not good.

35. Gamingboy Posted: October 06, 2007 at 09:58 PM (#2564729)

Least there were no Canadian Soldiers/Midges/Mosquitoes

36. Lassus Posted: October 06, 2007 at 09:58 PM (#2564730)

Am I a terrible person to wish that there had been a live play occurring when that happened?

37. Gamingboy Posted: October 06, 2007 at 10:00 PM (#2564734)

Am I a terrible person to wish that there had been a live play occurring when that happened?

No, you're a person.

38. Bernal Diaz has an angel on his shoulder. Posted: October 06, 2007 at 10:01 PM (#2564735)

This is going to take awhile to get back to playing.

39. Lassus Posted: October 06, 2007 at 10:01 PM (#2564736)

Hey, I wonder if they will have to postpone/cancel the game? That would be nutty.

40. Dan Posted: October 06, 2007 at 10:01 PM (#2564738)

But I'm already tired Bernal, and I don't want to miss any playoff baseball :(

41. Best Dressed Chicken in Town Posted: October 06, 2007 at 10:03 PM (#2564739)

I wish the ball had hit an umpire in the face

42. Best Dressed Chicken in Town Posted: October 06, 2007 at 10:03 PM (#2564740)

When it blacked out, that is

43. Gamingboy Posted: October 06, 2007 at 10:05 PM (#2564742)

When the lights go down in the City
And the sun shines on the bay
I want to be there in my City
ooh, ooh

So you think you're lonely
Well my friend I'm lonely too
I want to get back to my City by the bay
ooh, ooh

It's sad, oh there's been mornings out on the
road without you,
Without your charms,
Ooh, my, my, my

44. Paul DepoProvera Posted: October 06, 2007 at 10:06 PM (#2564743)

So - I pieced together what was being said before they cut away. To summarize: there is a huge windstorm, the power is out, and nobody knows what is going to happen. Is that right?

45. Lassus Posted: October 06, 2007 at 10:06 PM (#2564744)

Better you than him, I'd imagine. But that's just me.

46. Urban Faber Posted: October 06, 2007 at 10:07 PM (#2564746)

Maybe they can get Costner on the phone in the studio ....

47. Gamingboy Posted: October 06, 2007 at 10:07 PM (#2564747)

Looks like the lights are back on (at least on TBS Hot Corner)

48. Gamingboy Posted: October 06, 2007 at 10:08 PM (#2564749)

And now they are going onto the field.

49. Urban Faber Posted: October 06, 2007 at 10:10 PM (#2564751)

That was faster than I thought it would be.

50. Gamingboy Posted: October 06, 2007 at 10:10 PM (#2564752)

Stupid Computers. Trying to kill us all. This is their first step towards world domination.

51. Greg K Posted: October 06, 2007 at 10:11 PM (#2564754)

It sure looks windy there

52. Best Dressed Chicken in Town Posted: October 06, 2007 at 10:12 PM (#2564757)

I do not care for this Jimenez pitcher's motion.

Is it bad I never heard of him? I think so.

53. Lassus Posted: October 06, 2007 at 10:16 PM (#2564761)

I wonder if Moyer is going to pull his best Livan today.

54. Billy Wagner's tears Posted: October 06, 2007 at 10:18 PM (#2564762)

Wind here is insane in the fall(I live in the Co Springs). A WS here would be quite entertaining, though its been pretty warm here as well.

55. Dan Posted: October 06, 2007 at 10:19 PM (#2564764)

Is the wind blowing in towards home or what?

56. Urban Faber Posted: October 06, 2007 at 10:19 PM (#2564765)

Wind knocked that one down.

57. Urban Faber Posted: October 06, 2007 at 10:20 PM (#2564766)

What is this, the PGA Tour? Follow the outfielder, camera people.

58. Dan Posted: October 06, 2007 at 10:20 PM (#2564767)

This wind is going to help Moyer a lot more than Jimenez.

59. Gamingboy Posted: October 06, 2007 at 10:21 PM (#2564768)

Can I be the first to say that, if the Rockies make it to the WS, the series won't end until Spring Training?

60. Greg K Posted: October 06, 2007 at 10:21 PM (#2564769)

The way Burrell tracked that I don't think keeping a focus on him would have given any clue as to where the ball was

61. Lassus Posted: October 06, 2007 at 10:23 PM (#2564771)

I love this kind of weather in CO, especially with the horrendous fall heat we're experiencing in NY. This looks like the first FALL baseball game of the year.

62. Dan Posted: October 06, 2007 at 10:24 PM (#2564772)

Where the #### did the 1-1 miss?

63. Dan Posted: October 06, 2007 at 10:26 PM (#2564773)

Wow, what a miserable call by Orsillo.

64. Lassus Posted: October 06, 2007 at 10:27 PM (#2564774)

Good lord, who was that running? The pitcher? Awful - that should have been a run.

I'm wondering now who the NLDS team on TBS will be.

65. Urban Faber Posted: October 06, 2007 at 10:27 PM (#2564775)

Can I be the first to say that, if the Rockies make it to the WS, the series won't end until Spring Training?

Especially if it's the Indians they're playing.

66. Greg K Posted: October 06, 2007 at 10:27 PM (#2564776)

I missed it
What did he say?

67. Urban Faber Posted: October 06, 2007 at 10:28 PM (#2564777)

I'm wondering now who the NLDS team on TBS will be.

You mean NLCS? Chippy, Tony and (I think) Brenly.

68. Dan Posted: October 06, 2007 at 10:30 PM (#2564780)

Whoa, I didn't know Jimy was the Phillies' bench coach

69. Urban Faber Posted: October 06, 2007 at 10:31 PM (#2564783)

Wasn't that supposed to be Art Howe's job?

70. Paul DepoProvera Posted: October 06, 2007 at 10:38 PM (#2564790)

Bad managers don't die, they just become bench coaches for other teams.

71. Bull Pain Posted: October 06, 2007 at 10:41 PM (#2564792)

Stanford just beat USC 24-23 in LA.

72. Baseballing powerhouse Crispix Attacks Posted: October 06, 2007 at 10:41 PM (#2564793)

Blargh

Phils have wasted 3 innings swinging at the breaking pitches of somneone with little control of his breaking pitches.

73. Baseballing powerhouse Crispix Attacks Posted: October 06, 2007 at 10:41 PM (#2564795)

Is Kaz Matsui that much of a threat to steal? Not that I mind Moyer's attempt to put Tulo to sleep with all this stalling.

74. Gamingboy Posted: October 06, 2007 at 10:48 PM (#2564805)

Stanford beat USC! UNBELIEVABLE!

Oh, does anyone else think that Moyer is the only non-knuckleballer who drives faster then he throws?

75. Lassus Posted: October 06, 2007 at 10:50 PM (#2564806)

You mean NLCS? Chippy, Tony and (I think) Brenly.

Ugh. That's a shame.

76. Harris Posted: October 06, 2007 at 10:52 PM (#2564808)

ok - I'll join the party - first game I've been able to watch at home - had to cut out of work around 4ish to catch the first two games at local taverns..

Nice job by Moyer to get out of that. What separates Moyer with runners on from Padilla with runners on, is that Moyer actually makes pseudo-pick-off attempts and more importantly still gets outs.

Even if the Phils lose tonight, you still have to be satisfied with their season.

77. Urban Faber Posted: October 06, 2007 at 10:54 PM (#2564811)

Oh, does anyone else think that Moyer is the only non-knuckleballer who drives faster then he throws?

Esteban Loaiza. Of course he drives faster than Nolan Ryan threw.

78. Harris Posted: October 06, 2007 at 10:54 PM (#2564812)

Oh, does anyone else think that Moyer is the only non-knuckleballer who drives faster then he throws?

Comments like that make me wonder if I could pitch at the ML level with my 62 mph fastball and my 49 mph changeup.

79. Harris Posted: October 06, 2007 at 10:55 PM (#2564814)

oh and btw - if I ever got Aaron Rowand to 0-2 I would roll a ball to the plate and watch him swing at it.

80. Elevate Phil Coorey Later Posted: October 06, 2007 at 10:58 PM (#2564817)

Stanford beat USC! UNBELIEVABLE!

I didn't believe you and checked it for myself!!!

81. Bicycle RepairMan Posted: October 06, 2007 at 10:58 PM (#2564818)

USC LOST! LSU IS GETTING THEIR ASSES HANDED TO THEM!

me so happy! And I just heard announcer say that Tebow shouldn't be considered for the Heisman cos he is a sophomore...

what, there is a baseball game on?

82. Bicycle RepairMan Posted: October 06, 2007 at 10:59 PM (#2564819)

Hey Coorey, Aussies whupping our asses. last 2 games have been painful. We had you down, but couldn't put you away

83. Lassus Posted: October 06, 2007 at 11:00 PM (#2564820)

Michigan getting very upset it lost its first two instead of just that first one, I'd imagine.

84. Lassus Posted: October 06, 2007 at 11:01 PM (#2564821)

Ryan Howard: Gold Glover!

85. Bicycle RepairMan Posted: October 06, 2007 at 11:02 PM (#2564822)

Whoa Howard..

86. Harris Posted: October 06, 2007 at 11:02 PM (#2564823)

ehh losing to 1-AA App State cost them the title. No recovery from that.

87. Bicycle RepairMan Posted: October 06, 2007 at 11:04 PM (#2564825)

Pitcher's battle in Denver heh.
I saw Ubaldo against the braves. he had real good stuff, but kinda shaky control. Think he is gonna be a stud though if he doesn't break down

88. Bicycle RepairMan Posted: October 06, 2007 at 11:05 PM (#2564827)

ehh losing to 1-AA App State cost them the title. No recovery from that.

Has their defence stopped anybody yet?

89. Elevate Phil Coorey Later Posted: October 06, 2007 at 11:05 PM (#2564828)

Hey Coorey, Aussies whupping our asses. last 2 games have been painful. We had you down, but couldn't put you away

Did you see after the Yuvraj century on Friday that basically every Aussie player congratulated him, as he was leaving the ground?? That was awesome

Sreesanth needs to chill a bit as well...

90. Bicycle RepairMan Posted: October 06, 2007 at 11:07 PM (#2564832)

Did you see after the Yuvraj century on Friday that basically every Aussie player congratulated him, as he was leaving the ground?? That was awesome

yea, He was puking his guts out on the field in the early part. Sreesanth is cool, just gets too emotional. We just need to stop talking and start playing. Sachin has looked horrible to date

91. Gamingboy Posted: October 06, 2007 at 11:07 PM (#2564833)

They showed the super-secret Humidor room.... ooooooo...

92. Bicycle RepairMan Posted: October 06, 2007 at 11:08 PM (#2564834)

Oh my god, they injected steroids in the balls in Colorado and caused them to shrink!!

93. Harris Posted: October 06, 2007 at 11:10 PM (#2564838)

i wont be sad to see abe not on the team next year.

94. Bicycle RepairMan Posted: October 06, 2007 at 11:10 PM (#2564840)

Just what the Phillies want in a knockout game. Abraham Nunez coming to the plate more than once

95. Harris Posted: October 06, 2007 at 11:12 PM (#2564841)

at least he left us open to a pinch hitter to start the batting in the 6th inning.

96. Baseballing powerhouse Crispix Attacks Posted: October 06, 2007 at 11:13 PM (#2564844)

HOLY CRAP DOES NUÑEZ SUCK

I firmly believe that if we'd had Pedro Feliz over the past two years we would be the favorite to repeat as World Series champions right now. That's how much value Nuñez has subtracted from this team. Enough with this guy already, PLEASE.

97. Dan Posted: October 06, 2007 at 11:15 PM (#2564845)

How about if you had Placido Polanco at third?

98. Gamingboy Posted: October 06, 2007 at 11:15 PM (#2564846)

I smell this game going into extras. I just feel it. I know it's only the 5th.

99. Harris Posted: October 06, 2007 at 11:15 PM (#2564847)

im so glad we traded placido polanco. (and Nunez just offered me some crow after that play).

100. Bicycle RepairMan Posted: October 06, 2007 at 11:16 PM (#2564850)

Hey, whats that? Abe is now trading in my relatives!
