That was all on Manny ... very very few hitters can hit that pitch.
-
Nice call.
-
No, it's not. It might not be a must win but with Zambrano, who has had two straight bad starts pitching tomorrow and Harden, who has 11 Ks and 11 BBs in his last two starts pitching Game 3, this game is very important. Z has been very good coming back on long rest. That'll be the situation tomorrow.

No, it's not.

Guys, doesn't look like Demp is gonna get a hit here.
-
Has Stockton called Derek Lowe Derrek Lee yet?
-
resverse lineup protection, of course. So is it TBS that's an idiot or me?
-
Hmm ...explain this to me. What does Manny in the 3 hole have to do with the increased production of Ethier in the 4 hole?
-
Anybody want to sell me a ticket to the one game playoff for what they paid? Damn, I was too late on the trigger for this. :(
-
Hmm ... sounds like the 2004 Cubs.
-
His name is Dusty and he plays baseball ... that's embarassing enough.
-
Tigers are terrible. Sox just scored a run on a Walk, SB, wild pitch, wild pitch.
-
The dropoff in the Sox without Carlos Quentin is astounding. He should get MVP just for that.
-
You're actually listening to them? I have it on ESPN so I don't have to suffer. Though if they are losing in the 9th, I just might have to change it to hear Hawk. ESPN is blacked out in the Chicago area.

My friend wrote a great blog post about Vin Scully: Salon.com has a transcript of legendary baseball announcer Vin Scully's call of Sandy Koufax's 1965 perfect game against the Chicago Cubs, a game in which both pitchers combined to give up only one hit (!), leading to it being labeled "the greatest game ever pitched." The editor's note calls it "pure baseball literature," which is not at all inaccurate. This is really a model of what sportscasting should be at its finest -- and I say that without even having listened to Scully's delivery, which based on his reputation must be incredible. But for me, the greatest height achieved in this broadcast was not any of Scully's painterly turns of phrase, like "29,000 people and a million butterflies," though those are certainly impressive. (And keep in mind, he was making it all up as he went along!) It has to do with the way he reacted when the perfect game was completed. He simply says: Swung on and missed, a perfect game! and then shuts his mouth and lets the crowd's cheering speak for itself. 38 seconds of "dead air time" in usually considered a great sin in broadcasting, but Scully knew that there were times when rules needed to be broken. And this was not the only time he did something like this. -
I don't dislike the Sox. I have a few friends who are Sox fans.

Fun fact: When you have more leads, you are more prone to blow saves. It's like leading the league in double plays. Or LOB.

While this is very true, unfortunately they are not far off from the rest of the fanbase in Cubs hate. I went to abotu 20 games in 2005 and I Howry you not, there were more people wearing anti-Cubs t-shirts than sox jerseys. I never thought it was that widespread, but it really is. It's what happens when you hop on the bandwagon of a fluke season. Give credit where credit is due ... the Sox were dang good that year.

*sigh* ... let's petition MLB so next year we end with the Pirates and Nationals.
-
pretty much If they thought it through, it's a good thing since he won't pitch tomorrow. Neither will Marmol for that matter.
-
They got their first 2 point conversion but it got called off by a penalty, and they missed their second one. LOL.
-
2nd and goal, Wisconsin fumbles and it's now Michigan ball.
-
Wood for the 9th?
-
Just when Brewers threaten, Michigan takes the lead on Wisconsin. Wisconsinites just can't get everything to go right at the same time.
