October 6, 2008 Playoffs Open Thread
All AL action today.
White Sox/Devil Rays at 4:07 Cardinals time. This one features two 25-year-old pitchers. Gavin Floyd goes for the Sox; he's the Phillies prospect with the big curveball who failed five or six big league trials in a row before winning 17 games (and outperforming his peripherals by a ton) this year.
The Devil Rays trot out Andy Sonnanstine, who is to old pitchers' skills what Travis Hafner was to old players' skills. He doesn't strike anybody out; he doesn't walk anybody; his fastball has been knocked out of the air by birds in flight. But when you walk less than forty batters in almost 200 innings and you have something vaguely resembling major league stuff you'll be successful, at least for a while. If you want to see what everyone was hoping Joel Pineiro would turn into this year, Sonnanstine's a good visual.
The late game, at 7:37, has the Angels bringing John Lackey into Boston, where he'll face Jon Lester. Winner gets to standardize the spelling of his first name.

They're technically the "Rays"
but I don’t mind that you called them the Devil Rays, team shouldn’t be able to just change their name whenever they feel like it…
I think he knew that
I agree, teams shouldn’t be able to just change their names when they feel like it, or say they are from a different city than they play in

They should be stuck with the crappy name
they were given by some committee just so that they could get a franchise in the league?
I mean, it’s not like when the Reds changed their name to the Redlegs for political reasons. And it isn’t like they are going back.

you owe 'em a dollar
A few dollars, maybe? Nice to see you joining the team, Dan. Always look forward to your blogs.

I don’t think DanUp ever signed up on the OctobRay Bandwagon. Although, I guess since he kinda just showed up recently (and for some reason the Recommended FanPost vanished from the front page) we could add him as a late season acquisition. Maybe as an injury replacement?
Anyway, I’m not sure we can back-date the membership for him to take advantage of the 50% discount when saying that awful, awful name. But I’m sure something could be worked out that would be beneficial to both DanUp and the OctobRay Bandwagon.
Nothin'. A handful of nothin'. You stupid mullet head. He beat you with nothin'. Just like today when he kept comin' back at me......with nothin'.
Yeah, well, sometimes nothin' can be a real cool hand.
he is a college guy
does he get a student discount ? That would make up for a bit of the membership discount.
* sarcasm might be involved in this comment
Well.......
the membership was free. And the money for saying such an awful thing doesn’t go to us, it goes to the Rays organization. But, I think they we’re so excited to have some more fans on board (well, fans that we’re either 12 with blue mohawks or 100 years old with blue hair) they were willing to give us a discount. Plus, with no membership fees we’re basically operating without any type of profit as it is…….
Let’s think in terms of DanUp’s strengths. He’s an English major. I assume he can write (I have read some of it and it seems to be true). And he seems to be creative. Plus, we know he’s super sorry and REALLY wants to be a part of OctobRay. Hmm……. (thinking)

’’Don’t go that way!’’ a Cubs PR person warned me as I started to take the short- cut through the dugout to the Cubs locker area for the postgame interviews. Indeed, there was about six inches of, uh, water undulating across the gray floor, being battled by clubhouse assistants who were trying to squeegee the stuff back from whence it sprang.

You know, you might want to lurk a bit more while you get the hang of posting and such. I lurked for something like a year (well… I’m slow), and I stress that VEB is not like a lot of other internet boards in terms of the level of discourse, what’s funny and what’s not, and which posts you can let loose in and which posts demand a more thoughtful comment. It’s a gem, it’s got great people from top to bottom, and you might enjoy it a lot more with some exploration.

what does that have to do anything?
Larry “suggested” the pics end, and they ended. Why would anyone get kicked off?
Seriously, though. I’m not sure what your angle is. But, you sure have gotten plenty of attention in you’re first stop at VEB which is all because you found it necessary to tell us you’re persona or whatever on the ESPN boards was “gay”.
Just take the advice you’ve received as genuine and you’ll be fine. There isn’t a knee-jerk reaction around here to tip-toe around, but there is a protocol. Remember, this isn’t a public forum. There are moderators, a site owner, and a community watch system that ultimately calls the shots about what they want here and what they don’t.
And in case you wondered, here are the Community Guidelines

ok, cool…thanks…by the way, the reason I might have thought someone might have gotten kicked was because as you and the guidelines say: There is an owner, and a community watch system, and a moderator.
And, I usually don’t use offensive terms or scream obscenities at the Cardinals, so that won’t be a problem in the future.

the way TBS is playing him up, you’d think he was the most dominate LHP in the history of the game. Even as he has 2 guys reach almost every inning, they are just marveling at how amazing he is pitching (please ignore that high pitch count and the baserunners).

your dislike for them is decreasing, i rooted for them to get over the hump and beat the yankees pre-2004, i can remember feeling so bad for those fans when aaron boone beat them in ‘03, but i just can’t take it anymore, they have become exactly what they hated about the yankees all those years, exuding arrogance, somehow they’ve become the be all and end all of baseball fandom thanks to decades of failure and a historic ballpark (see cubs, chicago), and finally getting it done a couple of times has just pushed it all over the limit…

i mean, i totally see what you are saying
the “nation” silliness, the bandwagon fans, etc are annoying, yes. and i’m sure my hate will be inflamed once again if they beat the angels and then go on to beat the rays. maybe it’s just because i’m jealous that they have the best of all worlds, it seems. they have strong player development to balance their admittedly huge (just not as huge as the yankees) budget. maybe i’m just talking crazy talk because it seems like the angels are going to lose so i’m looking for a more positive way to see things. wouldn’t be my first time with the crazy talk.
Bandwagon-ness
I think the part that bothers me about the BoSox the most is the bandwagon aspect of things. I’m not living in St. Louis and when the BoSox beat the Cardinals in the World Series in 2004, I probably saw one or two hats a week, but once the World Series rolled around, you couldn’t go to a bar without seeing 15-20 Red Sox caps. When the ChiSox won a year later and the Cardinals the year after that…the same did not occur. Really…it was the biggest bandwagon ride I’d ever experienced.
Cardinal Nation
is used quite frequently…is that wrong too?
The Red Sox have a lot of fans…a lot of them came out of the proverbial closet in October 2004, but still, they have a lot of fans. That aspect of their team/organization doesn’t bother me.
The fact that many of them are insufferable does for some reason.

Conan is for the younger generation….like me…I really like him, but I tend to love Leno more.

honestly
I think the only thing Fallon might be good at is the late show. It’s the only showbiz job where you’re supposed to burst out laughing at inopportune moments.
I like Conan
but I think his shtick works much better in the late-late spot. I’ll probably just keep watching Letterman, anyway.
I've grown real tired of Letterman
he’s really lost a lot since his days on NBC.
And I do like Conan. He’s silly and i really like silly. But, my favorite is Jimmy Kimmel.

the best part about Ferguson is I can laugh even when i can’t understand what the hell he is saying. It is Craig Ferguson, so I can just assume it is funny.
* sarcasm might be involved in this comment
but they're not even committed
once Conan leaves his time slot there’s like a couple of months before he takes over the Tonight Show. In the meantime, Fallon will be doing Conan’s show but it will only be broadcast ON THE INTERNET until they feel he’s up to speed.
No timetable at all!!! Well, hate to break it to ya Jimmy, that time table is actually “Never”.

And Scioscia, not only does he squeeze w/ a lefty at the plate, but w/ his fastest runner on third. He can score on a lot of balls other guys can’t score on — shallow fly balls, grounders in the infield to 1st or 3rd, wild pitches, whatever. What an idiotic decision!

they’re worse than Cub fans because there’s more of ’em and they intermingle with Sox fans.
I laughed my ass off when they signed him. A few of my friends were skeptical so they called me (being a Rams fan) and asked my opinion. I told them he was washed up and was a bad signing for no other reason than he took up a valuable roster spot because he’ll be so bad he won’t see the field.
They only bought about 50% of my analysis but came around by mid-season.
Nothin'. A handful of nothin'. You stupid mullet head. He beat you with nothin'. Just like today when he kept comin' back at me......with nothin'.
Yeah, well, sometimes nothin' can be a real cool hand.
i just really wanted him to be good again
to justify my pick of his jersey over the aeneas williams jersey (my reasoning being archuleta would be on the rams for many years to come… ugh.)

who's the dipshit in the background!?!

i don't know
but adam is a freak of nature. i went to rams training camp once and saw him doing his crazy one-handed and clapping push ups. he was so freaking ripped it kind of freaked me out.
Mercury Morris is currently planning a press conference to explain why it doesn't count.

I have a question
regarding the worth of a baseball I have….It has Ozzie Smith’s signature, I think Todd Hullets (Its hard to read) and another signature which I cannot discern…..how much would it be with Just Ozzie’s signature on it?
For some reason, I don't enjoy watching Big Mac hit #62, but I fondly remember Ray Lankford blasting the ball out of the park in the same game. He had one sweet swing!!
no clue
i’m not a collector.
unless we’re talking about collecting records.
and by records i mean only old 45s of Surfin’ Bird by The Trashmen
it was certainly better...
than last week’s dud…the last couple seasons have been lacking for me, but i haven’t jumped ship…
I just watched it
you’d think, bringing Jesus back would be a gold mine of material. That episode was the most linear episode of Family Guy ever.
Very disappointing. I mean, if you are going to blasphemy, atleast be clever about it.

the first 10 minutes
are the best. i don’t really even care about the rest of the episode.
probably better than anything else i can think of on that show.
then again, i was an editor for the redbird word, my high school newspaper, and that song used to run in my head when i was working on the covers of the monthly edition.
ooh mow mow.
Its really annoying because I got the ball from my Aunt, she watched the ball get signed
and she even has another one with all the same signatures on it. It was signed in like 1993-4, and her memory is really bad, she takes enough pain pills to kill a horse, and I’m serious.
