World Series: Game 5 Thread

in Playoffs
Email
PrintI'm gonna make this short and sweet. Phillies have the chance to win it all tonight in front of the home fans, the Rays need a win to send it back to Tampa. Pitching matchups are a rematch of game 1, with Scott Kazmir taking on Cole Hamels. Savor it, it may be the last baseball game of 2008.

Yeah, yeah.
Although yours makes me think it’s about Yvonne Strahovski, whose show I’m watching instead of the brutal World Series pregame.

Hey!
I proposed that trade, and it better damn well not get vetoed. Manning is blocking Schaub, and I need a TE making more than .4 points a game. So what if it took my top two draft picks :)

but i’m a little afraid of michael turner

this is a reasonable trade that helps the both of us…

I understand it helps both of you
I just think the talent/point differential is HUGE.

I didn't even look to see who the teams were, honest
I voted against it when I saw the players swapped. Manning will outscore Jones and Winslow on a weekly basis by himself. If it were Peterson or even Johnson instead of Jones I probably wouldn’t have voted that way.

I was at a happy hour tonight for emerging museum professionals
I met three people from Philly. None of them seemed terribly excited about the Phillies winning. Although I guess if they cared, they would have been watching the Series, and not been at a happy hour for emerging museum professionals.

They do yes
And it will be as wild as an event consisting mostly of 70 year olds can be. That being said, I probably won’t be there as my main office is not very centrally located and I have to be 74 places at once on Election Day. However, after 11 straight months, I probably can’t handle a party. It’ll be uncontrollable emotion one way or the other.
And Slyde, those Brownies are just plain disturbing.

so, is working on a campaign a lot like smoking a whole case of cigarettes in one sitting
after you are done, you can’t believe you put yourself through that and can’t imagine why you’d ever want to do it again, but for some reason you have this craving now for it?

A very apt comparison
I was sitting here today hating my existence, but I’ve already started to get offers for next election cycle, and though each run probably takes another year off your life, it’s strangely addicting.

Justin went to Cuba and then saw Obama speak? Does the McCain campaign know about this? How many shady, unamerican characters is this Obama guy linked to?

"call could have gone either way"
let me run that through the translator… vvvvvvvv… zzzzzzz…
Kazmir got hosed again by the home plate umpire again
He didn't actually tag him...
did he?
And Kazmir is batting, eh?
This place is like a sexy preschool.
Baldelli didn't seem to balk about it
I’m guessing he got him somewhere. Chutley wouldn’t lie.

I'm starting to think that Pitch Trax thing is hurting the umpires
While the pitches may be borderline, having the commentators question every pitch really hurts the game itself. Plus, we used to never have the pitch trax replay on every single pitch. Just let the umpires call the game and let it go.
www.crosleyfieldterrace.wordpress.com
its been three games in a row with bullshit umpiring
They referred to obvious bad calls earlier as “borderline” or some such understatement. The first inning was a gift. You think they should ignore the fact that the umpire is calling strikes as balls for Kazmir?
I'm just saying the overuse of Pitch Trax has hurt the umpires
right or wrong, balls or strikes.

No wonder the ratings are down
After all the tedious playoff games, the world Series is again being played football weather.
40 degrees, torrential rains,gusting winds and pooling water. The ball is wet and the hands are cold…this is a shame. Either shorten the season or go back to some double headers cause these late Oct early Nov games are going to kill the World Series.
Lots of fun for a dad and son
Sgt. McCAin and Sarah The Impaler don't scare me none.
This is brutal.
Has the deciding game of a World Series ever been cut short due to weather?
"My wife ain't never ran and got me no pheasant." - Fistbands
They would call it and finish it later, right?
That would be pretty crazy, though.

if Upton hadn't have scored
a real Commish would have suspended the game anyway, for resumption at the earliest possible date, by invoking the “Best Interests of Baseball” clause to overrule the rules.
If ever there was a Best Interests, it would have to be in preventing the WS from ending on a rain delay.
hey thats a classic joke...

yeah, i think they would call it after the Phillies bat
if they did at all.

And we've got a rain delay.
Time for the exciting interview with the field crew chief!
This place is like a sexy preschool.
But first, Bob Dupuy and his bullshit responses
they were grateful that the game got tied up so they could pull the tarp out. How awkward would it have been to end the series on a rainout?
"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
Would've been hands down the worst series ever
can you imagine the locker room “celebration” for the Phillies at 2 AM after the umps called the season on account of rain?
Politickin' in God's Country
They're talking about suspending...
and resuming tomorrow in the bottom of the sixth.
This place is like a sexy preschool.
They just pulled the tarp over the mud...
This is no longer worth continuing to delay sleep.

I agree w/Gray – time to turn it off and either catch some ZZZZs or check on Titans vs colts tie game………..

It's tied.
With the 4th quarter about to start. This could end up being a decent game.

this is crazy
From Jayson Stark on the ESPN.com Blog
And now for yet another complication: The Rays checked out of their hotel in center-city Philadelphia, in anticipation of flying home after the game — and they can’t get back in, because the hotel is sold out.
They’re scrambling to find rooms — somewhere — as we speak.
www.crosleyfieldterrace.wordpress.com
Man, its a total clusterf&^%, isn't it?
From the weather reports, looks like rain’s forecasted for tomorrow night too…

It's supposed to be worse tomorrow night
That’s why they haven’t announced when the game will resume.

No series tonight
Try it again tomorro but still will be played in football weather.
35 degrees, torrential rains,gusting winds and pooling water. The ball is wet and the hands are cold…this is a shame. Either shorten the season or go back to some double headers cause these late Oct early Nov games are going to kill the World Series.
Say How About those Titans!!!

i'm for double headers
i would love to 6-8 hours at teh ballpark on a couple of Sunday afternoons, July 4th, Labor Day, and Memorial Day.
"It will put a smile on your face to see a Chevy with a Soviet transmission"
by justin007000 on Oct 28, 2008 9:41 PM EDT up reply actions
I'd say make every team play 10 doubleheaders a year
Start and end the season a week early. It would get rid of a lot of weather-related problems.
"Aio, quantitas magna frumentorum est."
i feel like if i were a player
when games are rained out, i’d rather play a double header, rather than lose an off day. I realize working at a grocery store is nothing like playing baseball, but I’d much rather put in 32 hours over 4 days, rather than 5.
