not that i've been watching that much since the twins and rockies went out
"Some times you get lucky; some times you get Willy Taveras." - Teh Fay
I was thinking the same thing
I really have no interest in Yankees-Phillies.
"What the hell are spanks????"
no way man.
I love baseball. I’ll watch every game I can.
"If it wasn't this, it'd be something else."
Plus, FOX hired Ozzie Guillen to work the WS
I’m personally hoping he literally chews off Tim McCarver’s head.
"If it wasn't this, it'd be something else."
I would assume so.
Either that or giving the FCC a blank check.
"If it wasn't this, it'd be something else."
Hey boobs....
It seems John Wall might be one of the top five professional PG alive.

i actually heard a rumor that
something was going to be released out of UK around the 15th. a week late but its a nice present

Like we didn't all see it coming
There’s a certain tradeoff when you hire someone like that.
"What the hell are spanks????"
this situation has absolutely nothing to do with Calipari
it has everything to do with Brian Clifton, Billy Gillispie, and Coach K.
Made from 100% Recycled Awesome,
I still blame Calipari
It’s not coincidence that these things seem to follow him wherever he goes….
"What the hell are spanks????"
So it's his fault that Wall took official visits
to Kentucky when Gillispie was coach and to Duke where Coach K was the coach?
In fact, John Wall never took an official visit to a school where John Calipari was the coach.
Made from 100% Recycled Awesome,
Whatever, it's not my fault UK hired a cheater
Cheater cheater, pumpkin eater!
"What the hell are spanks????"
Says the fan of the school
with a coach that actually got implicated in infractions and put a school on probation.
Made from 100% Recycled Awesome,
Oh, and how old were you when that happened?
Stop living in the past man, the future is where it’s at!
"What the hell are spanks????"
I am not surprised
AJ is like the girl with the curl. When he’s good, he’s very, very good. When he’s bad, he’s horrid.
Plus, with everyone just about writing the Angels off, you kinda knew this would happen.
All Things Bubba: Because how can you not love a baseball player named Bubba?
AJ's pitching on short rest too, no?
I feel like that may not be best for him.
"If it wasn't this, it'd be something else."
And no one commented on my quip
Whatever, I don’t need to impress you f***ing people.
"What the hell are spanks????"
Aw, I'm just kidding man.
I’m depressed because I didn’t get it till you said that. I’d like to think that I’m smarter than that.
"If it wasn't this, it'd be something else."
you know, i was kinda hoping to enjoy some baseball tonight
now that the Angels are trying to make it competitive. but WOW! Cable is making sure i remember what it’s like to have Time Warner.

FTH?
Why is Fox showing idiotic fans like that?
Didn’t they used to have a rule about not showing them, to discourage such behavior?
All Things Bubba: Because how can you not love a baseball player named Bubba?
That may have been the most exciting thing since the first.
"If it wasn't this, it'd be something else."
Yanks making their move
Lackey’s near 100 pitches, and the Angels pen is kinda sucky.

Melky almost got picked off
He can be such a bonehead on the basepaths.
All Things Bubba: Because how can you not love a baseball player named Bubba?
poor Lackey
He can’t even bear to watch.
All Things Bubba: Because how can you not love a baseball player named Bubba?
I wonder
if he could have gotten one more out.
He was at 104 pitches, and not looking very good, but the pen is gawd-awful. I’m kinda surprised they didn’t leave him in.
All Things Bubba: Because how can you not love a baseball player named Bubba?
Nope. He was on normal rest.
Thanks to the off day. I don’t understand that move from Scioscia, but hindsight is 20/20.
"If it wasn't this, it'd be something else."
a witch, a witch
May we burn him?

Not implying anything like that
Just making fun of his name, as Yankee fans are wont to do. :-)
Both Marte and Coke are not seen as terribly reliable.
I think if it were up to the average Yankee fan, they’d prefer to see Phil Hughes and Mariano Rivera finish out this game. No Marte, no Coke, no Joba.
All Things Bubba: Because how can you not love a baseball player named Bubba?
I didn't figure Coke was a druggie.
I was kinda surprised that Girardi didn’t go straight to Hughes. Mariano had 2 days off. He could pretty easily throw 2 innings, I’d think.
"If it wasn't this, it'd be something else."
I'm not surprised
Damaso Marte vs. Phil Coke. Rock vs. hard place.

Kendry Morales might be my second favorite 1B
behind JV, of course.
"If it wasn't this, it'd be something else."
Poor Phil
He was a total stud when he first moved to the pen, but he hasn’t done that well in the post-season.
All Things Bubba: Because how can you not love a baseball player named Bubba?
anyone still think he's better than Homer?
I never thought it was close, Homer by a mile.
by Dave from Louisville on Oct 22, 2009 10:59 PM EDT up reply actions
I think he was better than Homer.
Homer’s obviously improved past him, but there was a time when I really thought Hughes was the better pitcher.
"If it wasn't this, it'd be something else."
I do
Can’t judge him on one game, or even one month. He’s really been lights-out most of the year. And he’s still learning.
All Things Bubba: Because how can you not love a baseball player named Bubba?
Did anyone else catch the fact that that last inning
was 45 minutes? I certainly didn’t.
"If it wasn't this, it'd be something else."
im here yall, im tall, and im ready to discuss john wall
first off, you guys are idiots. ok go
Alway the optimist...I like your think kid...
he really is one of the top five PRO PGs
by Dave from Louisville on Oct 22, 2009 11:01 PM EDT up reply actions
It isn't like it's that big of a deal.
It wasn’t like he was ever going to be at UK more than a year anyway.
"If it wasn't this, it'd be something else."
yeah, he's a pro
he had the audacity to play for an AAU coach who went and got his agent’s license for a year and then scrapping it before he ever represented anybody. so now, john wall has to pay back $80 worth of McDonalds meals that his coach bought him in high school during recruiting trips while he was trying to convince Wall to go to Duke. And then Wall faces a maximum penalty of a three-game suspension. All this, meanwhile, everyone has known forever and the only news is that Mike Slive said the SEC still hasn’t figured it all out.
Alway the optimist...I like your think kid...
You're underselling it
It will end up being a bigger story than it should be, unfairly so. More importantly it will have people watching with an even closer eye at everything the staff does. None of the major programs are clean, and it’s just a matter of time until they get nailed. It’s a really bad start to the Calipari era, like it or not.
"What the hell are spanks????"
Yep
they are commenting on the situation without understanding what it’s all about. They just see the words “John Wall Eligibility Issues”, and automatically decide Calipari has gotten UK the death penalty.
But where is the story on Duke Freshman Ryan Kelly? He’s got the same issues, but because he’s a Duke player everyone chooses to ignore it?
In the end, he may not get to play 2 or 3 games against nobody schools. Oh Well…
Made from 100% Recycled Awesome,
Now Joba
I’m kinda down on him.
Not that he doesn’t have great stuff, but he’s a head case.
All Things Bubba: Because how can you not love a baseball player named Bubba?
Is that related at all to him getting jerked around by Yankees mgmt?
going from bullpen to starter to bullpen has to be tough. He’s displayed the talent to be a big league pitcher, but they won’t give him one role long enough to develop into that pitcher.
"If it wasn't this, it'd be something else."
No, I think he's a head case
It’s completely unrelated to him being “jerked around.”
It used to be pretty common for pitchers to start in the pen, and move from the pen to starter and back again while learning the ropes. I don’t think it’s hurt him.
If anything, the Yankees have spoiled him. They announce plans for him, Joba whines about it, and they accommodate him.
He strikes me as very immature. A big reason he struggled is that he became very predictable in his pitch selection. Posada would try to fix it, and Joba would just keep shaking him off until he got what he wanted. Which was always his slider. It got to the point that every hitter knew what pitch was coming when. And he was so hard-headed he refused to change.
All Things Bubba: Because how can you not love a baseball player named Bubba?
That makes sense.
I just know at my last job I got moved from project to project to project, and it can be hard to focus when your responsibilities are changing.
"If it wasn't this, it'd be something else."
Didn't he have some family issues too?
Just saying, familial background and all that.
"What the hell are spanks????"
yeah
The Yankees are worried about that. His mom has substance abuse issues, and they’re concerned because those things tend to be hereditary.
Joba was arrested for DWI last year. He was at a strip club, and some of the other patrons teased him about the Red Sox being in the World Series while he wasn’t. He got so mad he left in a huff and sped away. So fast he was stopped for speeding. And failed a Breathalyzer.
Personally, I’d have arrested him just for wearing that shirt.
All Things Bubba: Because how can you not love a baseball player named Bubba?
Damon, Tex, A-Rod
not who I want to face if I’m Brian Fuentes.
"If it wasn't this, it'd be something else."
wow, arod gets bonds treatment now
funny how much perception can change over the course of 9 games
Alway the optimist...I like your think kid...
also, when you're hot, you're hot.
A-Rod has really been hitting well, and has destroyed Fuentes in their matchups.
"If it wasn't this, it'd be something else."
regardless, now the tying run is on send base and the go-ahead run is on first
Alway the optimist...I like your think kid...
hey Angels

Swisher has been ice cold lately
He’s so due.
All Things Bubba: Because how can you not love a baseball player named Bubba?
nice play by Figgins
Don't pick a fight with an old man. If he is too old to fight, he'll just kill you.
Swisher really looks bad up there
Don't pick a fight with an old man. If he is too old to fight, he'll just kill you.
some Yankee fans
Think Cherry should have been pinch-hit for Swish.
All Things Bubba: Because how can you not love a baseball player named Bubba?
barely got a piece of that one
Don't pick a fight with an old man. If he is too old to fight, he'll just kill you.
advantage Swisher

It's back to the Bronx
All Things Bubba: Because how can you not love a baseball player named Bubba?
Lackey's STILL pissed Scioscia took him out.
Trying to be gracious, but he wanted that one.
"If it wasn't this, it'd be something else."
So who's winning?
So who actually other than BF really cares?
Oh these folks……Hey Derek please sign my ball…

This story is on CNN this morning
Red Sox “game used underwear” for sale.
Apparently, they do this every year. Memorabilia dealers pick through the trash after the season, and sell their pickings on eBay. Last year, Josh Beckett pitched a fit and had his agent stop the sale of his underwear. He apparently saw the story on ESPN and flipped out. (Afraid fans would find out he wears an extra-small jock strap or what?)
All Things Bubba: Because how can you not love a baseball player named Bubba?
lol! That is a disturbing story
it reminds me of those alleged female undergarment vending machines in Japan.
I’d be more comfortable with the Red Sox gear being sold than schoolgirls though!
The worst part (practically speaking) about the Red Sox thing is there is no way to tell what you’re buying. That could be Youkilis’ boxer shorts, ot it could be some random trucker’s.
That's why I stamp my underoos with a certificate of authenticity when I throw them in the hamper
