"Fear the Beard" is a given. I think that one should come out.

I'd maybe replace it with "Vlad fielding jitterbug" or some such, independent of a true run-costing Conradian error (which he also might make).

Also, Brian McCann? Do you mean Cody Ross? What a weird typo.

Ohhhh I see now about McCann vs. Ross, my bad.

I swear, I read 21 and 22 together as "Tim McCarver seen smoking weed" at first.
   12. Good cripple hitter Posted: October 28, 2010 at 08:14 PM (#3678382)
"Go Buster" sign with Ghostbusters logo is shown.

For #6, add "Conradian play is made by Vladimir Guerrero" as a bonus checkbox.

Drop this here...

From Billy Miller of the rokkin' A-Bones comes this classic NY jazz.

Giants to win the Series. My dad was a lifelong fan and he'd take me to see Juan Marichal pitch at Shea. My dad hated the Dodgers. My sister was once working at Barnes & Noble taking care of Duke Snider at his book signing. My sister called my dad and said "I'm here with Duke Snider. I could get him to sign a book for you. What do you want him to sign?" Dad said, "Tell him to sign Willie Mays!" and hung up on her.
   14. Gamingboy Posted: October 28, 2010 at 08:36 PM (#3678404)

In the event the Series goes 5, the NYC Primates will likely be meeting up somewhere to watch. Venue TBD depending on our numbers. (Although the more I think about it, somewhere like Tonic might be best because they have enough TVs that we're guarenteed to get the World Series on some despite MNF.) Anyway, if you're interested, you can site mail me or Lassus.

So why do we know the starting pitchers and lineup well before the game starts? Seems like teams would keep e.g. whether Vlad was playing a secret.

Related question- which team has to declare their starting pitcher and line-up first?

In honor of World Series game 2, I have bought a Topps 2010 Baseball Series 2 pack. I buy about 5 random packs a year, max, for historical record, so here's what we got, in order:

Jason Varitek - Red Sox
Brian Bannister - Royals
Prestigious Pinstripe Power, 3 of 5, Babe Ruth & Lou Gehrig
Jhoulys Chacin - Rockies
Ramon Hernandez - Reds
"The cards your mom threw out" 1955 Topps replica - Yogi Berra
History of the World Series - Oct. 27th, 2004, Jason Varitek
A rather tiny "BUNT" gameplay card, with Roy Halladay on it.
TOPPS ATTAX online game card - Felix Hernandez
Sean Rodriguez - Rays
Daisuke Matsuzaka - Red Sox
Jayson Werth - Phillies

I think this is a sportsmanship thing. Didn't some jackass like 10 years ago start the game with a short reliever, then put in either a LH or RH real starter once he saw the opponent's lineup? I seem to remember a foofaraw about this.

Dunno if it happened recently, but I know that Bucky Harris did it in game 7 of the 1924 World Series (his team won).

Didn't some jackass like 10 years ago start the game with a short reliever, then put in either a LH or RH real starter once he saw the opponent's lineup?


In his first term as Braves manager, Bobby Cox once removed the temptation to use Gene Garber on consecutive nights by penciling him in the lineup as leading off and playing centerfield. (It was a road game.) Garber even came out to the on-deck circle with a helmet and weighted bat...the whole nine yards. Then Bobby called him back to the dugout and sent Rowland Office up to pinch-hit and stay in the game in center. Enjoy your night off, Geno.

Jim Leyland in the 1990 NLCS. Started RH reliever Ted Power who pitched into the 3rd, then brought in lefty starter Zane Smith.

Yeah, it is accepted practice. You sure could screw with someone, though.

I don't remember the reliever incident, but there was one where the manager withheld his lineup for awhile for some reason.

I vaguely remember a doubleheader that was a resumption of a suspended game followed by a regular game. One team was going to start a righty the first game and a lefty the second game, but then the manager realized the other team was locked into a lefty-laden batting order for Game 1 and flipped them.

Not the same thing, but didn't TLR send Darryl Kile out to answer press questions as though he were the Game 1 starter in the 2000 NLDS, and then started Ankiel instead. We all know how that turned out. (Looking back at that box score, the thing that surprises me is that Ankiel pitched until the third inning. I always just assumed he never made it out of the first)
   30. Lassus Posted: October 28, 2010 at 11:47 PM (#3678532)
This is the best vocal ensemble performance of the National Anthem in the playoffs so far.

I have no doubt Vlad will pinch-hit at some point, I think a contributive PH is more checklisty.

If I had a boat I'd call it the Judge Smails.

Bad move by Huff.

That was kind of a linger!

I'm naming my boat "Heart of Gold".

EDIT: #### that boat ########, I'm going to actually name my FTL spaceship that.

Ball 2 was Strike 3

Whatever you say, Zaphod.

Cain: 35 pitches to 10 batters.

All these CGI cartoons look the same.
   74. HighandOutside Posted: October 29, 2010 at 12:40 AM (#3678593)
God do I hate the pitch count strike zone. It is ridiculous that a pitcher has to throw one over the heart of the plate to get a called strike three after he has battled to get ahead 0-2, 1-2.

There is Pixar and then there is everything else. "Megamind" is a "everything else".
   76. Lassus Posted: October 29, 2010 at 12:42 AM (#3678597)

Says you, James T. Nemo.

Damn, Wakefield knows how to dress up. Nice suit.

So players who contribute heavily to their teams missing out on the post season, win the Clemente award now??

Whose next? Beckett and Lackey?

No way Vlad gets that ball...

Hacky Torres is back,
   81. Gamingboy Posted: October 29, 2010 at 12:45 AM (#3678602)
I'm surprised that Pujols didn't win the Clemente award again. I guess they want to spread it around.

-waves hand-

This is the pitching duel you were looking for.

Who takes a first date to Pizza Hut? You don't deserve a second date jackass!

Pitch count. Wilson: 44; Cain 35. 3 innings complete.

Second date, to meet the friends: Olive Garden. There's a whole awful eating commercial romance narrative going here.


Yes, Joe, you're idiots, congratulations. It only took you a decade or so.
   86. Shooty: Applying to be Fearless Leader Posted: October 29, 2010 at 12:51 AM (#3678608)
I'll be honest, every time the show Burrell I wonder what kind of underwear he's wearing. That's wrong, right?

Absolutely. You're in SF, you want to get burritos.

There's a good mission style burrito place on the Upper West Side, thank god.

They met on a train. Their first date was at Pizza Hut. Their second date at Olive Garden. Eventually, their son became President.

Laughter - good one, GB.

How many games did they play before they decided to cut the bottoms out of the peach baskets?

There needs to be more sodomy in that story.

Well, we don't know what movie they went to see for their third date (although I'm guessing it was either Skyline, Megamind, Due Date or Unstoppable. There could have been sodomy in it. And even if there wasn't we have no idea what else might have been going on in that theatre.
   94. Chip Posted: October 29, 2010 at 12:58 AM (#3678619)
The wind shift they described made me look at the radar - they might be getting the rain sooner than expected. Big band of it just off the coast to the west, and circling around to swing down from the north. Already onshore in western Sonoma County.

Treanor is not so hot with the glove tonight.

Maybe I WILL see Megamind!

What the hell is the difference between all the different gatorades?

Burrell is an OBP machine!

Some are for humans, and some have what plants crave.
