not feeling too optimistic about this game tonight -- check out this radar:

This system seems to be just hanging over St. Louis, and we are getting drenched. Even if it stops raining, I could see there still being some drainage issues for a while...

Re: baseball
tell you what, too -- at the risk of trumpeting my good fortune too much, doing the little switcheroo thing with my tickets ended up being a huge score for me. Ended up with seats for tonight's game, and got to watch yesterday's game 5 friggin' rows off the field just inside the right field foul pole.
The scene at Busch last night was just incredible; the energy in there was off the scale. When Eckstein hit that double off of Zumaya, it was like everything slowed down while the ball was in the air. He hit the ball, the place erupted for just a split second, then got quiet as we all watched Monroe close on the ball. I swear it looked like he was going to get there. Then, it went off the end of his glove and Busch instantly filled with sound again, louder than I've ever heard it, and that includes numerous playoff games, McGwire's home run chase, all of it. It was just bedlam, and if I didn't have tickets tonight, I'd be sure it would be the crowning moment of my sports-watching existence.
Can't wait for tonight -- just got to get this rain out of the picture...
just had to get that off my chest -- am bursting hereLeave a comment:

Re: baseball
to you and me, this is a good series, a little disappointing in that the tigers arent making a game with ordonez and polanco looking like arod. but good pitching rules, it creates a tenseness in the game while you wait for ''THE INNING" to occur, watching guys get out of jams like rodney did last night despite two errors....
there are so many comparisions to life when it coems to the game......
the kids
canoe, melky, howard, verlander, zuamaya, reyes, wright, papelbon, liriano
the gods
jeter, pujols, arod (to a degree), ortiz, bonds, manny,
the heroes
rolen, edmunds, jeter, aaron fucking boone, edgar martinez, brocious and martinez in 98, ordonez in the ALCS, those who arent neccessarily great players, but seem to be in the mix when it counts
the ACES
carpentier, rogers, moose, david cone, clemens, pettite, santana, schilling, becett, willis...
obviously there are so many more. the big moments, the gutty plays, tough at bats that lead to advancing runners. guys like so taguchi pinch hitting in big spots and laying down a double in the gap.....Leave a comment:

Re: baseball
sweet.
then lets both talk about what's happening right now instead of what some fucktard sportswriter has to say, and all that nonsense OUTSIDE of the game itself. making a story about anything other than the game right now is retarted. which is why i respect larussa for not making a huge deal out of pine tar boy on the hump for detroit.
this series is fantastic to me, and i'm not the least bit sorry the half ass fans across the nation can't get into two teams from the heartland slugging and pitching it out.Leave a comment:

Re: baseball
ask toasty, i called his ass last night while he was at the game, and ben and jose (-two) were nice enough to turn off soccer to let me catch the game at ruby's place.
like i said, i love the game above all else. i went to over 30 games this season and that was a low mark for the last few years. its my game, and there is so much more to it than the yanks for me. i watched most of chase utleys games during his streak, manny as well. also a huge fan of watching the phillies and marlins during the second half, i saw every pitch after the third inning of sanchez's perfect game too.Leave a comment:

Re: baseball
lol.
sean your argument is like me trying to tell you where to get the best slice of pizza in NY. but it's a pointless one, since you've already made it up in your mind you're what you want to believe. so...i digress...
are you even enjoying baseball right now, self proclaimed fan of all fans?Leave a comment:

Re: baseball
IF you lived here, you would know 1- the Post Disgrace is just that, a disgrace. and that 2. Brian Burwell isn't that resepcted among local writers and broadcasters. he's always spinning the negative to get his name in the papers. rule #1 in journalism school - the writer should never become part of the story. he broke rule 1. that's freshman shit man. i listen to local am radio pretty much all day, and you'd be amazed the stories that came out after he put up that stir piece. not like i'd expect you to know any of this tho because you're hearing it a thousand miles away filtered through other moronic sports writers from espn and the like. burwell is an idiot. take his word over mine and hundreds of other local writers who follow the team tho if that suits your argument.Leave a comment:

Re: baseball
on a different note, how 'bout that Joel Zumaya? I officially love seeing that guy pitch. 3 walks, a hit, and two costly fielding errors leading to 3 runs, only one of which he actually made us earn. If we end up winning this thing, he gets my vote for MVP. I don't care how hard he throws, he can pitch against us anytime.
be careful. dont ever look a bull in the eyes. you dont want a guy who throws 104 hitting the zone. he has proven he can. just not all the time. you dont want to be in game 7, down 3 runs inthe 8th with this guy on target. be careful.Leave a comment:
