World Series: Game 4 Thread
versus
After a long, tough game in the rain, Game 4 in Philadelphia is going to be pivotal. The Rays need to win to draw even, but if the Phillies win, they have an excellent shot at winning the Series with another game at the Bank, before returning for two more games at the Cowbell Dome, if necessary.
Tonight's heroes/goats will be Matt "Petrarchan" Sonnanstine for the Rays, and "Heywood" Joe Blanton for the Phightins. Evan Longoria failed to make a good throw to the plate to preserve the game for Tampa last night, so look for him to come out with a spirit of vengeance that would dwarf even Inigo Montoya's. He's hitting at least two home runs tonight - guaranteed.
The Phillies have been winning with smoke and mirrors, since they can't ever get a hit with runners on base. J. Ro, Ryan "The Temp" Howard, and Pat Burrell will look to find their offense. They were seen talking to Bagger Vance under the bleachers last night during the rain delay, so hopefully that will help.
Your comments are better than mine below.

But the Giants are division rivals for the Cowboys. I’m a fan of any team that’s playing the Giants…for the week, anyway.

Because his name's Adolph
And I know it gets UK fans riled up. Here’s a nice quote, BTW:
“I know there have been a lot of people who thought he was a racist. But I think the times can dictate how people act — where you’re brought up, how you’re brought up. If he was a racist, he wasn’t alone in this country. I’m never going to judge anybody. . . . That’s a long time ago, too . . . You learn from the past, and you go on.”

They needed all three
And yes, they dominated the game, but they hit the post twice, and Boyzzz Khumalo managed to hit the crossbar from six yards out. When Tom Soehn inserted Gonzalo Peralta for Bryan Namoff, and the announcers said he’d be playing in the middle, I thought “Uh oh.” A minute later, the Crew were on the board, with some blown defending by Peralta.

"Chase"
is the type of name I call “California trendy.” The kind of name heroes in bodice-ripper romances have. The kind of name the handsome young characters in soap operas have.
There used to be a joke about Japanese Americans, and how they name their sons after weapons. (Lance, Dirk, etc.) Those are “California trendy” names, if a bit older than “Chase.” The east and south are more likely to choose more traditional family names, or Biblical names.

except that the Chicken Pox vaccine isn't as good as other vaccines
it definitely lowers the risk of getting the Pox, but it doesn’t eliminate it like with other vaccines. The good news is that it appears that when vaccinated kids get the Pox, it tends to be mild in comparison to non-vaccinated kids.

I need to catch it online
The Simpsons Treehouse this year is supposed to have a Mad Men segment, so prepare for more lost references. Jon Hamm is officially the coolest cat in the world right now. He’s like James Gandolfini in ’99, but with more street cred because no one is watching.
It was actually through 7 innings the last time I posted. Limited commercial interruption meant the show ended at 10:50. That was the only disappointing thing about a phenomenal finale. Now time for the cast wrap party. Pass the scotch…

I like this article
http://www.cnn.com/2008/SHOWBIZ/TV/10/24/mad.men.splash.ap/index.html
It argues that although few are watching Mad Men its influence is still everywhere because it’s watched by “the elite intellectual minority, the people that are writing and about talking about culture.” Also Bill Simmons.

I wouldn't worry about that
The elections went on as scheduled during the Civil War and the World Wars. I doubt Syria rates enough to suspend elections now.
However, some analysts fear that Israel might attack Iran just before the election. Or maybe after. They’ve made it clear that they won’t allow Iran to develop nuclear weapons.
