Around SBN: Jeremy Lin And How The Pac-12 Missed Him

World Series Game Five Open Thread- 29th October, 2008

The game is supposed to begin at 7:30 central tonight, and apparently they should have plenty of time to get it in. Of course, whether or not that holds true remains to be seen, but the radar looks good, as far as I can tell.

I really don't have any analysis to offer you guys tonight, largely based on the fact that the situation we're seeing is pretty much unprecedented in the annals of professional baseball. I do think we'll get a chance to see David Price throw a couple of innings, so there is that. We may also see Brad Lidge toss multiple frames, a la 2004 NLCS Lights Out Lidge. No matter what happens, I'll be happy with the series, as it's been a great battle overall, but I'm pulling hard for the Rays, if only so that we don't have to face the blackness quite so soon.

Is it fraud when Cubs ownership says "this year is our year?" Can somebody sue for that?

Rays score nice digs away from Philly

In case you want to get inside the head of our favorite New Age cowbell-lickers, they’re drinking their lattes here.

+ travel secretary Ziegler to the rescue
+ “I had the bleu cheese burger,” Balfour said after returning to the hotel. “I highly recommend it with the hearty chili.”

Ziegler has grit
"Opening up a door and having someone swinging a sledgehammer at you is pressure. Finding a hundred hotel rooms, that’s not pressure. No one’s going to die doing that."

He and Aaron Miles should compare notes.

What exactly was Baldelli doing on that play out there?

Catherine whispered into my ear, her breath rich with faraway spices, that she desire to make love. She wanted to try shinshi shinshi. Now, I'd been begging her to try shinshi shinshi for months. She'd refused on the grounds that it was unclean. Finally, she was willing to accept her lover's body in places no one had ever trespassed. Specifically, the ear canal.

I'm amazed Rocco's out there

Wouldn’t the cold leach his strength faster? Or is the game (hopefully) gonna be so short, they’re chancing it?

He was already in the game, right?

kinda gotta play him or lose him. Plus, at this point it’s a do-or-die game and it’s only 3 1/2 innings…..maybe.

Ya know

Even as a spectator in this WS since Albert couldn’t produce in ’08*, I think this has been a great season and post season.

NL looks to win the WS, Cubs and Brewers didn’t come close. Manny gets to think to chuckle at the idea he could have been the difference maker in Boston, since he was the only one that really stood out in L.A.

And our team wasn’t that bad, at least we got an MVP out of the deal

Also I need a better camera angle on Bartlett. I still can’t take that. Where are my yellow lines?

Well, parts of it

Mostly they were within a game or two of the mets in either direction. And most of that time was spent with a record worse than the Cardinals. I’m just saying they were never THE team, like Boston, Tampa, Chicago, Milwaukee, or the Angels. I’m fully aware that it’s not always the best team that wins in the postseason, but I think that we have a right to complain when it’s not the Cards doing the winning ;)

Congratulations to the Phils

although I just threw up in my mouth a little by saying that…its better than seeing the cubs, crew or sawx holding up that trophy. I was hoping to see some more baseball, but I think that Maddon’s inability to manage as though this was a 3 inning elimination game & the Rays’ complete utter failure to get 2 of the worst hitters in the playoffs out (Ruiz & Feliz) was their demise. Speaking of Ruiz, IMO he deserved some consideration for WS MVP, because w/o him, the Phils are probably going back to Fla.
