Thom, learn how to spell your name and quit calling flyballs like Chip Carey.

[treebird]

that was the coolest thing ever. between the camera angle and thom, i thought the ball was going to bounce off the scoreboard. seeing drew standing there to catch it one-handed was amazing.

 

GO DODGERS GO

Since I don't trust Treeman, I looked up Glavine's stats this year and in 1999 and I came to his ESPN page. Why doesn't ESPN have a pic for Glavine?

[treebird]

i see a picture.

 

i guess you'll just have to trust me on this one.

[CaliforniaRaisin]

Ok Thom, why are you questioning the Dodgers keeping Kuo in the game in the 5th inning?

[CaliforniaRaisin]

i see a picture.

 

i guess you'll just have to trust me on this one.

 

Holy crap, they added a picture.

[treebird]

god i hate joe buck

[treebird]

has there been an asian baseball player who has come over and not subesequently been described as having ice water in his veins? i guess maybe irabu, but i'll bet they said that about him at first.

[CaliforniaRaisin]

god i hate joe buck

 

What an awful commercial.

 

Brett Tomko is not good.

[Brian]

WTG Furcal, he probably has Captain Morgan in his locker too

I'm starting to thin/k the red sox fans were right and little is just a terrible manager. why would you have tomko facing delgado and beltran with the season on the line? and brad penny last night? What the heck?

the brad penny thing last night convinced me and tonight confirmed it for me. i'm really glad the dodgers hired him, otherwise, he'd probably still be working for us and about to be hired as manager.

I'd rather have Little than Lou Piniella.

[Guest]

I'd rather have Little than Lou Piniella.

 

and I would rather have a root canal than a needle in my eye . . .

[Flames24Rulz]

I'd rather have Little than Lou Piniella.

 

Agreed.

 

This game is summing up the playoffs quite nicely; very boring.

[treebird]

I'd rather have Little than Lou Piniella.

 

id rather have no manager and let the players decide on their own what to do than lou piniella

 

zambrano's going to throw 180 pitches in a game either way, just imagine how much better it will be when he has to punch derrek lee in the face before he does it in the former scenario.

joe: "The TO story day in and day out gets real old, real fast."

 

THEN WHY ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT IT DURING A BASEBALL GAME?!?!?!

[Southpaw191679666239]

What's that thing about the playoff team with the most ex-Cubs has the least chance to win the WS? I count at least four on the Dodgers.

[CaliforniaRaisin]

Four more, plz.

[Guest]

I don't think Grady realizes the regular season is over.

[Andy]

Holy crap, Grady's voice sounds EXACTLY like Milton's from Office Space

[Wilson A2000]

Garciaparra tore his quad. Not good for LA, but their season was over anyway.

[CaliforniaRaisin]

It's a battle of the ex-Cubs today in Los Angeles, RHP Steve Tracshel (15-8, 4.97 ERA, 79 K/78 BB) vs. RHP Greg Maddux (15-14, 4.20 ERA, 117/37).

 

Mets lead the series 2-0. Game is at 4:30 pm PT, 6:30 CT.
