NLCS GAME 3

Space_chimp_tiny by nlt-andrew68 on

 

Time for a new game thread, since the last one was on Friday. 

LA Dodgers      vs.      . Philadelphia    

Starting pitchers  Hiroki Kuroda vs   Jamie Moyer

 

The Dodgers need a strong response to the Phillies to avoid falling into a 3-0 hole from which no NL team has ever escaped in a playoff series. The only AL team to do it was Ramirez's Boston Red Sox against the New York Yankees in the 2004 ALCS.

Title: Step Right Up and Watch Jamie Moyer Try To Break a Pane of Glass With His Fastball!

I feel kind of stupid for not turning on the game when I got home last night...

I assumed it would have been over by 12:30. Guess I should have checked…

This place is like a sexy preschool.

I went to the official DC United bar to celebrate the USA's victory last night

There was also a crowd of Red Sox fans there, and a crowd of Penn State fans. Let’s just say my buzz was harshed.

by Brendanukkah on Oct 12, 2008 3:14 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

I hope those Sox and Penn St. fans are also Redskins fans

It’s pretty satisfying to see the ’Skins losing to the 0-4 Rams right now.

by Brendanukkah on Oct 12, 2008 3:20 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

I'm glad I switched my Survivor pick from the Skins to the Bengals

Although…. they’re not looking half bad either… Corey Lynch just had a sweet pick on Fav-ruh!

This is just great

If The Rams and Lions pull it out, there will be two teams left out of 12.

Sad

Because it’s not like they were blown out. They played some good teams, and the scores were close.

Jets used to be like that…

He actually didn't play THAT bad today..

I think he was the teams leading rusher..
and he completed a pass to himself.

we need some good offensive linemen

If we had a RB who didn't drop the ball or get arrested, I'd agree with you.

But the Bengals have absolutely no talent at RB. Ryan Fucking Fitzpatrick was the leading rusher today. With how bad the OL has been lately, I’d agree it’s a problem, but it won’t be worth spending the 1st overall pick on (which at this point, I fully expect to get).

I have tix for the Eagles game

I had the choice of that of the Chiefs on 12/28, the last game of the year. I chose the Eagles because of weather/holiday reasons but I might change it just to show up with an “0-16, make history!” sign.

If anyone would like to point out a remaining game they will win, have at it. My guess is that they shut Carson down soon, making this team completely useless.

Well

If I’m taking a RB I go with Moreno over Wells.

But I’d still like to plug this dude in and find a RB in the 2nd round or FA.

"Aio, quantitas magna frumentorum est."

by jch24 on Oct 12, 2008 6:20 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

If we got Oher, I wouldn't be disappointed.

I think Moreno is a more dynamic RB than Wells, but the blatant homerism in the Bengals front office would trump it. Can you imagine the moronic fan revolt if the Bengals passed on Wells to draft Moreno?

i almost dont want the Bengals

drafting 1st. the front end of the NFL draft has become more of a game of russian roulette than a chance to build your team. of course, nobody will trade for the top pick either. what a mess.

Exactly

I hope they somehow win one/two games (Browns/Chiefs?) and the Lions or Rams pick first to take the pressure off.

I still love the Reds despite their idiocy. I’m well past that point with the Bengals and fully expect them to fuck up the pick.

that the pick is fucked up to begin with

I liked Jimmy Johnson's explanation of Russell Maryland

He said something to the effect of, “We really just didn’t want to screw it up. We looked for someone who would definitely start for us for the next ten years.”

There’s so much risk involved at number one that no one wants it, understandably so. Nothing worse than shelling out big bucks for a stiff.

What a jackass. Doesn’t matter though, as Josh Brown nails a 49 yard field goal to win the game for the Rams.

Yep

Although I’m okay with it as long as they call it consistently, which they seem to do.

"Aio, quantitas magna frumentorum est."

by jch24 on Oct 12, 2008 5:31 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

then it's just a consitently dumb call. Dallas got saved on that one, and a fumble earlier in the game that was missed

it was an egregiously bad call. Romo’s forward progress was said to be stopped.

As for the dumbest rule in all of sports, I nominate one that came up last night in the LSU Florida game. An LSU player fielded a kickoff, and got one foot down. However, his second foot came down out of bounds. Instead of just giving calling the return dead, and spotting it where the LSU player stepped out, they called a penalty as if the kick had gone out of bounds. The ball was then moved all the way to the 40 yard line!

I'm sure Brendan already has a soccer-related thing somewhere I can't find

but how about Bradley continuing his yellow-card streak by getting one in stoppage time in a 6-1 blowout? I’m trying to figure out a Reds parallel…the only thing I could think of is LLM getting the last out of the last game.

I saw them shielding themselves from the beer with their coats after the goals being scored. They might have liked it better on the other side.

Why only one game today/tonight? I understand that you don’t want to go against the NFL, but couldn’t the Sox have played early since the Pats are playing tonight? Fuck Tampa, since no one cares about that market.

I know

They set the days a while back though. I figured they would want the weekend audience as opposed to a Monday night crowd when they’re still gonna end up going up against an NFL game. I’m also not keen on November baseball.

You’ve still got Rivers, LT, and Vincent Jackson and need about 40 points. Definitely do-able. Although I sort of feel bad for ’tHan being on the schneid.

Rundown

Cowboys make a play to the 40 yd line, spike it with 3 seconds left. There was an injured Cardinal behind the line, so it was an encroachment penalty moving it to the 25. 52 yd FG attempt, Cards call a TO to ice the kicker as they block the attempt. Second attempt is good, now we’re in OT.

I might be in the minority with this

but I’m pretty sure he slowed down and didn’t actually kick it square when he heard the whistle… and there’s no way the Cowboys line would have let the defender that close to the ball without that whistle
