I'm pretty sure he ate Melky Cabrera. Enjoy!

No, Ruth had a chance when he did it in 1926. (Wild Bill Hallahan walked him in the 8th.)
From the looks of him, you may just be right.
Take that, Taco Bell!
I'm pretty sure he ate Melky Cabrera. Enjoy!
I was gonna say. His typical breakfast is probably half of the average Denny's pantry.
i thought that was pretty good. no?
Pence flailing at balls down and away reminds me of watching Soriano do the same for the Yankees in the 2003 ALCS.
Pence looks like crap always.

There are some perfectly decent pitchers in there, but nobody exactly in Verlander's class.
And Adam Kennedy, George Brett, Bob Robertson and Adrian Beltre if you expand it to post season play. (Not nearly as impressive list)
He does bet with one chip; I'm given to the impression that you only have to bet something if you push forward. But I know virtually nothing about poker.
I assume he's on the Ron Swanson diet: all the bacon and eggs.
No, all the bacon and eggs.
Heartily concur.
Yeah, you only have to call or min-bet if all you do is move a single chip forward.
Ah no. Adam Kennedy, Bob Robertson and Beltre definitely don't impress like Ruth, Jackson and Pujols. Though that Brett fellow could play a bit.
Excellent reference. I don't think Zito was sent out as an advance scout before the Series, though.
Ah no. Adam Kennedy, Bob Robertson and Beltre definitely don't impress like Ruth, Jackson and Pujols. Though that Brett fellow could play a bit.
Beltre is actually fairly likely to end up with more career WAR than Reggie, for what it's worth.
Adam Kennedy, on the other hand, is not.
Wouldn't that just cause a lot of ass cancer?
And that Dorito Taco giveaway reminds me of Halloween III. I am getting nowhere near one of those.
A single? I say nyet! That ain't awesome.
How about they create Cancer-Killing Tacos?
bing crosby stinks in anything that is not looney toones
and barry zito is suddenly starting to look like barry zito, what a shame. verlander getting knocked out BECAUSE THE UMP IS NOT GIVING HIM A *)^&*$#! ERIC GREGG STRIKE ZONE IS TEH KEWL!!!!
(Starter in the bullpen [X]) (Playoff starter in the bullpen [X])
Agreed.
Uh, uh. I love me the David Bowie/Bing Crosby Peace on Earth/Little Drummer Boy.
//swipe at cardinal fans
And maybe more to the point, Zito wasn't a surprise selection for the Game 1 nod. It was known days ago. Nobody knew (except for Mack, I guess) that Emhke was going to start in 1929.
No, all the bacon and eggs.
I'm going on a cruise in December. That is pretty much what my breakfast will be every day.
name me one person, one d8mn person, who had barry zito even pitching a meaningful inning in the postseason and i will pay you serious american dollars
her and youse all was talkin bout a complete game. youse jinxed him!!!
so much for timmeh starting game 2
We need a game chatter penalty box.
Well, not hard. But the dude was a true rock-and-roller for his era, and his voice and styling were amazing, beautiful, and groundbreaking.
:-)
Obviously that total has been matched (in any postseason game with Greg Maddux after '95, for instance), but has any playoff game ever had three separate Cy winners pitch?
Alas they misheard you and gave us tacos that give us cancer
you are a fine historian
your taste in singers? not so much
The only solution is to avoid Taco Bell and go to Mighty Taco.
Touche, Harveys. It was a good comparison (Emhke/Zito). I just always have to take the opportunity to show everyone I know something. You know how that goes around here.
More appropriately - is he the best choice when you have no idea what Bumgarner is going to give you tomorrow.
no worries. i am full of red meat and gin so i am loaded for bear
REPRESENT.
no it explodes immediately
Sam Cooke.
Shooty wins!
Likewise. Also, it serves as a chance to point out (1) how baseball is different these days, and (2) just how utterly crazy the Howard Ehmke thing was.
At least you wouldn't die of cancer.
Tell me a better singer of the '30s than Bing.
He truly took the normality as it was, picked it up, and changed it to fit his model. He was to the '30s what Sinatra would be to the '40s, and Elvis would be to the '50s. He was a hugely important talent in the development of American popular music as we came to know it.
In the 1974 World Series, the five games featured three, two, three, two and three Cy Young winners. Fingers hadn't won his yet, though, so in terms of existing Cy Young winners, there were never more than two.
There were four Cy Young winners pitching in that series, Blue, Hunter, Fingers and Mike Marshall, plus another Hall of Fame pitcher in Don Sutton.
01 WS game 7... No wait I always assume schilling won a Cy, but he never did.
Game five of 2001 NLCS had Randy, Glavine and Smoltz.
He was versatile. But I digest...back to baseball!
crazy? did you write crazy?
crazy, i'm crazy for feeling so lonely
i'm crazy, crazy for feeling so blue (tiger fans)
Yep I looked there before realizing that Schilling hadn't won. (and for the fun of it I looked at 82 world series to see if Vuckovich, Fingers and Sutter all pitched in the same game, but that never happened.)
Ours was Chris Cooley back with the redskins, DC speed trap cameras are scandalous, and some kind of guy who has filmed a notorious video of some kind
- definitely me
although i thought it would be as a LOOGY
i did not have him shutting out the cards, let alone starting Game 1 of the world freaking series.
i supposed the check is in the mail...
