Columbus Day Clashes: The Playoffs Get Interesting

PrintThe Rays are hoping to reach uncharted territory tonight by taking a series lead over the Red Sox. Shrewd trade acquisition Matt Garza takes on cancer survivor and feel-good story fodder Jon Lester. Stats are for dorks, so without looking at them I can say that Lester sure feels like he's becoming the ace of a Red Sox staff that is chock full of aces. Garza and the Rays will have a tough task ahead of them as the series shifts back to Fenway. There were something like eight home runs hit between the two teams in their last game. How many will go over the Monster tonight?
For this evening's matchup, the Dodgers take on the Phillies at 8:22 pm EST in Chavez Ravine. Seats will be filled at 9:18. The Phillies were threatening to run away with this series, but the Dodgers have decided to make it a contest. If they win tonight, they'll even the Series at two games apiece. Game 1 loser Derek Lowe takes on mid-season pickup Joe Blanton. The Phillies getting Blanton was slightly less ballyhooed than the Brewers getting Sabathia or the Cubs getting Harden, but who's still pitching in the playoffs, bitches? That's right.
It's probably just me, but does anyone else enjoy saying, "Haywood J'Blanton" in their minds, a la Haywood Jablowme? No? All right then.
The thread is open. Enjoy playoff baseball!

In Reds news today
Dusty Baker coached his team to a victory! Well, it was his son’s team. Darren’s team won 27-7, but Dusty still managed to misuse his bullpen. Four of those runs were given up Darren Baker himself after Dusty inserted him has a relief pitcher.
Dusty has a history of nepotism

He’s sent me many a link about the Grassman.
A few questions for you...
1. Do you have 2-4 years experience in a corporate sales/service, hospitality, marketing or advertising environment?
2. Do you have experience utilizing a contact management and/or order entry system?
3. Do you have strong customer service experience?
4. Is attention to detail and understanding contract language one of your strengths?
5. Do you enjoy helping customers by answering their questions and solving problems?
If you answered yes to all some of these questions, you could work for the Cincinnati Reds!

I think Columbus has gotten a bad rap
It’s unfair to lay the subsequent centuries of oppression and slaughter of the Native Americans on his head. In his (forgotten) story I find feats of bravery, intellectualism and the power of an individual to transform the world. Give this brief essay a look then tell me why I’m an retrogressed idiot.
Now Columbus faced a new problem. No sailors wanted to go on what was seen as a suicidal voyage on what the Muslims called, "the green sea of darkness." After all, in the common Biblically indoctrinated mind, the earth was still flat. So Columbus got the monarchs to pardon jailed criminals if they’d go on his expedition. A voyage into the green sea of darkness was a better bet than certain death by hanging or a lifetime in a dungeon. And if the criminals made it back alive, they’d be free.
Columbus set off on August 4th, 1492. To avoid mutiny, Columbus kept two different logs. The log he showed the crew indicated they were not too far from home and had nothing to worry about. The other one showed his much greater and more accurate estimates of the distances traveled.
…
His fourth voyage took him to Nicaragua, but after that the big political and commercial interests pushed Columbus out of the exploring business and in 1506 he died impoverished and forgotten.
You’d think that would be the saddest, most unjust end the story could have. But it’s not. Today "enlightened" history teachers pooh-pooh Columbus’s role because he was a European. They point out that Incas and Aztecs and Cherokees and Cheyennes had lived in America for centuries before 1492; they credit the Viking oaf Leif Erikson, for stumbling upon a piece of North America, running away, and doing nothing with his "discovery."
Such teachers misunderstand what the word "discover" means. There is a difference between blundering onto something, and discovering its nature, grasping its order and significance. Farmers in ancient fields had experienced mass and momentum. But we don’t say they discovered Newtonian physics. To discover is not merely to encounter, but to comprehend and reveal, to apprehend something new and true and deliver it to the world.
Um, that still doesn't explain how the Incas, Aztecs, Cherokees, Cheyennes, etc.
didn’t discover North America. I’m pretty sure their complex cultures and civilizations would indicate that they had discovered the continent’s nature and grasped its order and significance. Environmentally speaking, I think there’s a pretty good case to be made that they understood what they had a lot better than the European explorers and settlers did.
by Brendanukkah on Oct 13, 2008 4:38 PM EDT up reply actions
then Columbus marked the moment they "discovered" Europe
I see joy and importance in the world coming together, even though every time that happens the people of the world let me down.
If it's to be the first meeting of Europeans and the New World
then fuck Columbus and fuck Leif Erikson!
St. Brendan the Navigator, FTW bitches!

Blundering onto something
Um, didn’t he think he’d found India?
All Things Bubba: Because how can you not love a baseball player named Bubba?
Columbus was ruthless and egomanical, and more than a little sick in the head
he and his men were responsible for the genocide of the natives of Hispanola. he was a cold-blooded murderer. those he didnt kill were sent to Europe to be slaves. some estimate he and his men are responsible for the deaths of 125,000 people in the first two years they spent there.
but that does nothing to diminish the cavalier spirit and boundless bravery that marked his voyages to the new world. he was a man who did great things and terrible things. as with every great figure of history, there are two sides to the story.

Dear Red Sox,
Suck it.
- Dioner
The Rays take a 1-0 lead in the middle of the 2nd, with Dioner Navarro driving in Evan Longoria, who’s really having himself quite the postseason.
I sure wish
the Yankees hadn’t traded Dioner Navarro. For Randy Johnson, no less. And Arizona didn’t even want him. They flipped him almost immediately.
All Things Bubba: Because how can you not love a baseball player named Bubba?
me too
poor yankees. nothing ever works out for them. they must be damned.
"You never want to give up a 7-0 lead, in your rival's ballpark, that would put them in first place. Never want to do that." - Ron Darling
Yeah
Damned to making stupid trade decisions. I was against trading Navarro, let alone for the Unit, from the beginning. Many fans were. I think even Cashman was against it, but he was overruled.
All Things Bubba: Because how can you not love a baseball player named Bubba?
Yeah
I sure wish they hadn’t let Tommy Shaw go back to Styx when Damon Johnson came aboard.

No, the over-the-shoulder (attempted) catch.
Jeter’s range to his left is underwhelming, but he is good at those “wide receiver” catches.
Unlike A-Rod, who has great range but can’t be trusted to catch even easy popups.

I don’t see the difference between being a Bengals fan who watches every game religiously when they suck and following the team and scheduling game watching around relevant life. Honestly, the fans that go to every game and paint up and tailgate seem to be the more delusional fans, which completely make me sick. “10-6 will still get us into the playoffs!”

…I’m sorry I missed the days when the Yankees sucked, and $5 got you a ticket that let you sit anywhere you wanted, including right behind home plate.
All Things Bubba: Because how can you not love a baseball player named Bubba?
The Yankees may suck
But forget getting a $5 ticket and moving anywhere you want. A couple of years ago, a night game went to extra innings, plus there were several rain delays. It was pouring, and it was after midnight, and most of the fans had left. But security wouldn’t let the people in the upper decks move downstairs. So it looked like nobody was there on TV, because the real fans were upstairs in the cheap seats. Getting rained on. While the nice, dry seats downstairs were deserted.
That’s one reason I prefer minor league baseball. No stadium Nazis.

A lot of fans wish they'd do that
The new stadium is just a way to shake more money out of the fans. It will have fewer seats. But they’ll be more expensive. A lot of fans are having to downgrade from their usual seats.
And there will be 60 luxury boxes, instead of 16. Hooray.
