Around SBN: Knicks Beat Lakers With Familiar Strategy

NLDS Game 2 Game Thread

Somebody, don't know who, is sleeping on the job. So here's a game thread. Wainwright vs. Kershaw. This is a must-win game if we want to last longer than one round (TWSS?) in the playoffs.

Star-divide

This is after the jump. This may be the first time I've ever used the jump. I don't have a picture of a wizard, or any Boogtober anecdotes. Hopefully this has gotten me to 75 words.

Bart: Wow. How many home runs you gonna hit with that thing?
Homer: Let's see... We play thirty games. Ten at-bats a game. Mm...three thousand.

"I remember once talking to one guy on the Cardinals and asking him what Pujols was like as a teammate. He said something that’s really special, if you think about it. He said: "Albert is so good that you feel like you let him down when you screw up." I thought that had to be the ultimate line that could ever be said about a ballplayer. I build my baseball team around that ballplayer."

I want Smoltz

"I remember once talking to one guy on the Cardinals and asking him what Pujols was like as a teammate. He said something that’s really special, if you think about it. He said: "Albert is so good that you feel like you let him down when you screw up." I thought that had to be the ultimate line that could ever be said about a ballplayer. I build my baseball team around that ballplayer."

by Smokin Turkeys on Oct 8, 2009 9:14 PM EDT reply actions  

This one is on Holliday and Tony

Smoltz should be in this game

Pull him Tony

The Cardinls have never gone to a World series in a year ending in 9. Every other year they have: 1930, 31, 42, 82, 43, 34, 44, 64, 2004, 85, 26, 46, 2006, 67, 87 , 28 & 68. But no 9s, Could this be the year?

Oh come on...

we all knew this was going to happen. The only chance they had was Waino going the distance. (Not that I blame Tony for taking him out, he was on fumes).

I mean, this is exactly the way Franklin pitched the whole last month or so?

Totally.

Why did TLR leave Franky to hang?

by spants on Oct 8, 2009 9:18 PM EDT up reply actions  

Because Franklin is the Closer.

Obviously.

It’s like, he realizes that being the Closer means nothing, by pitching Miller, but then immediately forgets that once Franklin is in the game.

Pretty much FML any time Todd Wellemeyer touches a baseball or Joe Thurston runs the bases.

Maybe he was saving Smoltz for Saturday.

well for one thing, I'm almost certain Yadi and Frankie pulled a UIBB at the end

but Belli made them pay.

For TLR to take them to task, when Yadi does the bulk of game-calling for whomever’s closing, also second-guesses the battery as a whole.

I don't ever want to see Ryan Franklin pitch for the Cardinals again in any capacity.

I don’t care if we have to trade every person in our farm system to get rid of him.

I don’t ever, ever want to see that dumbass wear that fucking uniform again.

Thanks, Mo, for pissing away Brett Wallace on that Stone Handed Bitch.

I realize that the 06 WS was a fluke win by popular opinion...

but that’s really no reason for the GOBs to never let another win by an NL Central team happen again… this is fucking ricockulous.
