4. vortex of dissipation Posted: October 31, 2010 at 06:00 PM (#3680457)

How can anyone root against the orange and black team on Halloween?

5. Dan Posted: October 31, 2010 at 06:03 PM (#3680458)

Bumgarner vs. Hunter seems like a pretty big advantage for the Giants.

I hope we get to a game 7 so the Giants have to rely on Jonathan Sanchez to start.

9. Gamingboy Posted: October 31, 2010 at 07:17 PM (#3680496)

I hope we get to a game 7 so the Giants have to rely on Jonathan Sanchez to start.

Clearly, there is only one hope: Somebody fakes an injury, allowing Barry Zito to ride to the rescue.

Ten greatest Game Fours in history.

If I had to do it over again, I'd put 1996 in there. Then again, there might be more great Game Fours than any other game in World Series history. It's deep enough into the Series that there's some real tension developing, but early enough in so that all Series are still going on. There's also more odd games (the two biggest comebacks, Bill Bevens, the 1941 back-from-the-dead comeback) that arguably any other World Series game.

Let's see what happens tonight.

11. CWS Keith plans to boo your show at the Apollo Posted: October 31, 2010 at 07:37 PM (#3680509)

From the link in 10:

Given how 1906’s Game Four went, it’s fitting that 99 years later the Sox won an extremely tight one of their own. The Sox didn’t score here until the eighth inning, making the game filled with tension. Adding to the excitement, Houston got a baserunner on against Mark Buehrle in seven different innings. In five frames the runner made it to scoring position. They never could get one home, though.

Mark Buehrle did not, in fact, pitch game four of the WS -- Freddy Garcia did. Buehrle's last appearance in that series was the previous night when he came in as a closer.

12. TerpNats Posted: October 31, 2010 at 08:11 PM (#3680518)

I caught a glimpse of the Jacksonville-Dallas game on CBS, and after the Jaguars scored their fourth touchdown to make it 27-3 pending the extra point, you could hear the chant "Let's go Rangers" resound through Cowboys Stadium.

Sorry, Jerry, you're no longer king of the Metroplex.

13. Roger Cedeno's Spleen Posted: October 31, 2010 at 08:36 PM (#3680521)

Cuts from the John Carpenter "Halloween" soundtrack used as intro or bumper music [ ]

14. Tom Nawrocki Posted: October 31, 2010 at 08:55 PM (#3680527)

From today's Denver Post:

As a Met, Jeff Francouer came to the plate to Jimi Hendrix's "Purple Haze." As a Ranger, his batter clip is "Chicken Fried" by the Zac Brown Band. A Braves fan will tell you it's the first adjustment he's ever made in the batter's box.

15. Lassus Posted: October 31, 2010 at 09:04 PM (#3680531)

This is my favorite quote from yesterday's chatter:

Burrell has got to sit - his bat is slow and his mind is lost.

16. Lassus Posted: October 31, 2010 at 09:07 PM (#3680536)

Bonus: Player in costume during the game.

17. Mark Donelson Posted: October 31, 2010 at 09:09 PM (#3680537)

Bonus: Player in costume during the game.

As long as Wilson doesn't count, sure.

18. Dag Nabbit apealing [sic] his own check swing Posted: October 31, 2010 at 09:49 PM (#3680543)

Mark Buehrle did not, in fact, pitch game four of the WS -- Freddy Garcia did. Buehrle's last appearance in that series was the previous night when he came in as a closer.

Yup. I goofed. That one bugged because I actually remember watching that game, too. Actually that was the problem - I remember watching it, so didn't bother to double check it.

I remember Buehrle pitching in Game 3, but he threw so little I thought Guillen let him go the next day. I know Buehrle won Opening Day w/ a 1-0 victory, and heard the Sox season was bookended with them, and I somehow conflated things in my mind that Buehrle was in both.

19. Tom (and his broom) Posted: October 31, 2010 at 10:10 PM (#3680549)

Bonus: The phrase "Trick or Treat" is used to describe a player reaching over the railing or into the dugout.[ ]

20. Eddo Posted: October 31, 2010 at 10:13 PM (#3680550)

There's even more symmetry for the 2005 Sox: Buehrle won 1-0 on opening day; Contreras won 1-0 on the first day after the All-Star break; Garcia won 1-0 on October 26.

21. Bitter Calculus Instructor Posted: October 31, 2010 at 10:22 PM (#3680553)

Bonus suggestion: Bad Halloween pun. i.e. "this player will scare you," "he's giving tricks/treats," etc.

22. Gamingboy Posted: October 31, 2010 at 11:19 PM (#3680565)

23. Lassus Posted: October 31, 2010 at 11:27 PM (#3680567)

I'm watching the clean feed tonight, probably about 5 seconds ahead of y'all, so I'll try not to give away things FROM THE FUTURE.

Sadly, this means I won't be able to comment on the commercials. I know you're all crushed. I'll try and pass along anything interesting shown between innings.

24. Phil Coorey. Posted: October 31, 2010 at 11:33 PM (#3680568)

Watched the game yesterday with some primates in a bar in Sydney - how the hell not use Feliz in the 8th to Posey - he was asking for trouble there

25. Gamingboy Posted: October 31, 2010 at 11:35 PM (#3680569)

I'm watching the clean feed tonight, probably about 5 seconds ahead of y'all, so I'll try not to give away things FROM THE FUTURE.

I thought you no longer had the MLB "Instant Replay guy" job.

26. Swedish Chef Posted: October 31, 2010 at 11:36 PM (#3680570)

You're the guy that presses the big red panic button if a nipple is exposed on camera?

27. Infinite Yost (Voxter)

Posted: October 31, 2010 at 11:42 PM (#3680575)

Guess it's too late to add bonuses, but I was going to suggest any reference to Derek Jeter or "Mr November".

28. Lassus Posted: October 31, 2010 at 11:42 PM (#3680576)

I thought you no longer had the MLB "Instant Replay guy" job.

I don't.

But, etc.

Posted: October 31, 2010 at 11:43 PM (#3680577)

Also: What happens if this football game that nobody gives a #### about goes into overtime? Are they going to force the World Series into some basic cable ghetto in favor of an NFL regular season game featuring teams from Phoenix and Tampa?

30. esseff Posted: October 31, 2010 at 11:50 PM (#3680579)

I'd put 1964 on the list of best Game 4's, but then I'm a Cardinals fanboy.

31. S.F. Giangst Posted: October 31, 2010 at 11:51 PM (#3680580)

Holy heck! In yesterday's game chatter postmortem I said "Burrell and Sandoval both look terrible and need to sit" in best loudmouth fashion. Today, both sit. It's like found money!

32. Gamingboy Posted: October 31, 2010 at 11:55 PM (#3680581)

Also: What happens if this football game that nobody gives a #### about goes into overtime? Are they going to force the World Series into some basic cable ghetto in favor of an NFL regular season game featuring teams from Phoenix and Tampa?

I'm reasonably sure that, unless if you live in one of those areas, they would go to the ballgame.

33. Flynn Posted: November 01, 2010 at 12:01 AM (#3680584)

Niners won today..hopefully Giants win tonight.

34. glenntwo Posted: November 01, 2010 at 12:02 AM (#3680585)

And suffer the outrage of loyal Rays and Dbacks fans?

The Niners are so crappy, Troy Smith is an upgrade at quarterback.

There are other primate in Sydney? Crickey! Are you guys going to have another get-together before this thing is over?

38. Roger McDowell spit on me! Posted: November 01, 2010 at 12:07 AM (#3680592)

Can someone please offer Ozzie enough money to get into the announcers booth permanently? The comparison of Burrell to Zorro was hilarious.

39. Flynn Posted: November 01, 2010 at 12:08 AM (#3680593)

Smith looked alright, certainly better than the other Smith. OTOH, seeing Troy Smith try not to make mistakes for 3 quarters before having a niceish fourth reminded me that the problem with this team is crappy coaching.

40. Flynn Posted: November 01, 2010 at 12:09 AM (#3680594)

Lyle Lovett? That's kinda cool.

41. Lassus Posted: November 01, 2010 at 12:09 AM (#3680595)

What idiot mic'ed that cello? Cant even hear it.

Nice work, Lyle.

42. Flynn Posted: November 01, 2010 at 12:10 AM (#3680596)

Also remember folks, that face once said "Will you marry me?" to Julia Roberts, and the answer was yes.

YOU CAN DO BETTER THAN THAT FLYNN!!!

44. jdbkaput Posted: November 01, 2010 at 12:11 AM (#3680598)

Great choice for the anthem.

45. Lassus Posted: November 01, 2010 at 12:14 AM (#3680599)

I would have preferred 100,000 comments on football to seeing these two men.

46. Flynn Posted: November 01, 2010 at 12:14 AM (#3680600)

It's kind of absurd to see Dub driving the golf cart.

47. Gamingboy Posted: November 01, 2010 at 12:14 AM (#3680601)

H.W. doesn't look so good.

48. Hey, you and Tommy LaSorda...I hate Tommy LaSorda Posted: November 01, 2010 at 12:14 AM (#3680602)

Holy heck! In yesterday's game chatter postmortem I said "Burrell and Sandoval both look terrible and need to sit" in best loudmouth fashion. Today, both sit. It's like found money!

When did Bochy start reading our conversations?

49. S.F. Giangst Posted: November 01, 2010 at 12:16 AM (#3680604)

During the canned montage pre-game comparing the starters I swear Gary Thorne said "Madison Bumgardiner". Or maybe I'm just sensitized because it took me a year to stop doing the same thing.

50. JJ1986 Posted: November 01, 2010 at 12:17 AM (#3680605)

McCarver and Buck aren't able to distinguish between Hunter and Bumgarner, one of whom is a very good pitcher.

51. Hey, you and Tommy LaSorda...I hate Tommy LaSorda Posted: November 01, 2010 at 12:18 AM (#3680606)

This is my favorite quote from yesterday's chatter:
Burrell has got to sit - his bat is slow and his mind is lost.

Thanks Lassus.

52. Gonfalon Bubble Posted: November 01, 2010 at 12:20 AM (#3680607)

#7-- See? We coulda checked off "flapping bat wing" sound promo already! Too easy.

53. Hey, you and Tommy LaSorda...I hate Tommy LaSorda Posted: November 01, 2010 at 12:20 AM (#3680608)

It says "Verizon is going to kick your butt"

54. S.F. Giangst Posted: November 01, 2010 at 12:20 AM (#3680609)

Hunter is already sweating? Or is he just self-basting?

55. Hey, you and Tommy LaSorda...I hate Tommy LaSorda Posted: November 01, 2010 at 12:22 AM (#3680610)

Hunter looks like the Pillsbury Doughboy, or the Stay Puft Marshmallow Man

56. Phil Coorey. Posted: November 01, 2010 at 12:22 AM (#3680611)

Why does Nolan Ryan have to be the centre of attention at every game?

Is his ego that big? That's two first pitches and a catch from a former president now. I can only assume he is starting Game 5 tomorrow...

57. Gamingboy Posted: November 01, 2010 at 12:23 AM (#3680612)

Stay Puft Marshmallow Man

Are you saying that Hunter is the form taken by a ancient Babylonian god?

58. Hey, you and Tommy LaSorda...I hate Tommy LaSorda Posted: November 01, 2010 at 12:23 AM (#3680613)

Maddox looks like a modern day Snidely Whiplash

59. Bitter Calculus Instructor Posted: November 01, 2010 at 12:24 AM (#3680614)

Got to make that pick.

60. Phil Coorey. Posted: November 01, 2010 at 12:25 AM (#3680615)

There are other primate in Sydney? Crickey! Are you guys going to have another get-together before this thing is over?

I'm back in Qld now - next year!

61. Hey, you and Tommy LaSorda...I hate Tommy LaSorda Posted: November 01, 2010 at 12:25 AM (#3680616)

Don't like the bunt here

62. S.F. Giangst Posted: November 01, 2010 at 12:25 AM (#3680617)

Little early to be playing for one run.

63. Lassus Posted: November 01, 2010 at 12:26 AM (#3680618)

AAAHHH NO MORE SAC BUNTS JERRY NO NO STOP NO....

Wait, what happened? Sorry, flashbacks.

64. Downtown Bookie

Posted: November 01, 2010 at 12:26 AM (#3680619)

#61 - Agreed

DB

65. S.F. Giangst Posted: November 01, 2010 at 12:27 AM (#3680620)

Noodle-arm Molina, present.

66. Bitter Calculus Instructor Posted: November 01, 2010 at 12:28 AM (#3680622)

[55] McCarver agrees with you.

67. Gamingboy Posted: November 01, 2010 at 12:28 AM (#3680623)

Yeah, talk about the '98 Padres tonight, when it ISN'T on the list!

68. Lassus Posted: November 01, 2010 at 12:28 AM (#3680624)

Hmmm... Hunter seems to be a rather slow worker.

69. Hey, you and Tommy LaSorda...I hate Tommy LaSorda Posted: November 01, 2010 at 12:28 AM (#3680625)

Are you saying that Hunter is the form taken by a ancient Babylonian god?

Gozar the Gozarian

70. Hey, you and Tommy LaSorda...I hate Tommy LaSorda Posted: November 01, 2010 at 12:30 AM (#3680626)

Its Halloween, of course we gotta have the Ghostbusters call back

Even without advancing Torres, nice Sanchez AB

71. Ok, Griffey's Dunn (Nothing Iffey About Griffey) Posted: November 01, 2010 at 12:30 AM (#3680627)

Just changed over from Palladium showing a half hour of the Arcade Fire at the Oxegen Festival. Fantastic live band!

72. S.F. Giangst Posted: November 01, 2010 at 12:31 AM (#3680629)

Even without advancing Torres, nice Sanchez AB

First time Hunter threw him the cutter in that AB.

73. Hey, you and Tommy LaSorda...I hate Tommy LaSorda Posted: November 01, 2010 at 12:31 AM (#3680630)

I think I would have flipped Posey and Huff in the order tonight, thoughts?

74. Lassus Posted: November 01, 2010 at 12:33 AM (#3680632)

Tsk. Good time for a simple RBI, Buster Posey's slumping.

75. Lassus Posted: November 01, 2010 at 12:34 AM (#3680633)

Here's your official future-telling moment:

Moreland would dress up as a ninja turtle for Halloween and there's a Chewbacca in the crowd.

76. S.F. Giangst Posted: November 01, 2010 at 12:36 AM (#3680634)

I think I would have flipped Posey and Huff in the order tonight, thoughts?

Probably better to leave them in their accustomed spots once having made 2 other changes to the lineup.

77. Hey, you and Tommy LaSorda...I hate Tommy LaSorda Posted: November 01, 2010 at 12:36 AM (#3680635)

Frenchy the Cheerleader

78. JJ1986 Posted: November 01, 2010 at 12:36 AM (#3680636)

Why does Bengie Molina hate Halloween?

79. Bitter Calculus Instructor Posted: November 01, 2010 at 12:36 AM (#3680637)

TMNT aren't that old.

80. Gamingboy Posted: November 01, 2010 at 12:36 AM (#3680638)

Wait, did I hear BENGIE MOLINA say they he'd dress up as a Ninja Turtle, or am I messing it up?

81. Hey, you and Tommy LaSorda...I hate Tommy LaSorda Posted: November 01, 2010 at 12:37 AM (#3680639)

Wow Lassus, that is some delay we have

82. The elusive Robert Denby Posted: November 01, 2010 at 12:37 AM (#3680641)

Frenchy's favorite Halloween costume? Rob Picciolo.

83. Biff isn't really an apt handle anymore Posted: November 01, 2010 at 12:37 AM (#3680642)

So...did anyone else notice only the white players talked about what costume they would wear?

84. JJ1986 Posted: November 01, 2010 at 12:38 AM (#3680643)

That's never called a strike on 3-0.

85. BK Arbour Posted: November 01, 2010 at 12:38 AM (#3680644)

Town of 2800 people. McCarver "there's 35 times that many people in the stadium tonight."

Um, no. That would be 98,000 in attendance.

86. Lassus Posted: November 01, 2010 at 12:38 AM (#3680645)

Wow Lassus, that is some delay we have

Are you being sarcastic? That's cool, if so. To be honest, I haven't a clue how long the delay is, I'm working so I haven't had time check the broadcast feed for the actual delay as yet.

OH, also, that wasn't from the delay, it was from the tech work-up during the break anyhow.

87. Hey, you and Tommy LaSorda...I hate Tommy LaSorda Posted: November 01, 2010 at 12:39 AM (#3680647)

Huff doesn't get that throw

88. S.F. Giangst Posted: November 01, 2010 at 12:39 AM (#3680648)

Nice job by Andrus to make a nuisance of himself, but Sanchez has to make that throw.

89. Lassus Posted: November 01, 2010 at 12:41 AM (#3680649)

Nice play.

90. BK Arbour Posted: November 01, 2010 at 12:41 AM (#3680650)

Between Sanchez and Hamilton, that's two balls hit really hard, but right at infielders. So far, breaks even out.

So...did anyone else notice only the white players talked about what costume they would wear?

I guess the holiday isn't so big with the Latino guys.

Are you being sarcastic? That's cool, if so. To be honest, I haven't a clue how long the delay is, I'm working so I haven't had time check the broadcast feed for the actual delay as yet.

I actualy wasn't. When the actual TMNT comment came in and I saw a two minute time stamp delay between our posts, I thought you had seen that said already.
