Week Posted October 12, 2008 Share Posted October 12, 2008 Stupid ass wedding made me miss the entire game. All I got was text message score updates from my brother :(. I heard the end when I was driving back...the second I heard "Mike Timlin warming up in the bullpen", I knew it was a loss. Hey, at least we split the games on the road and now we get get some home cookin in Fenway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel kind of like a bad person today. But Jesus, that game just went on and on and fucking on. Edit: Home team bats in the bottom of an inning. I'm an idiot.

Myshkin Posted October 13, 2008 Share Posted October 13, 2008 Ok, props to Kuroda for hitting back. And props to Victorino for not being mad he was thrown at, only being mad at the location of the pitch. And fuck the Phils if they are upset about this shit. You wanna throw at Martin and ManRam? Man up and be prepared for retribution. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andrik the Unsmiling Posted October 14, 2008 Share Posted October 14, 2008 here's to that ever popular Rays-Phillies world series... I'm sure that's exactly what the networks wanted. of course, the boston series is far from over. and i'll never call the dodgers dead until they really are... i'd hate to jinx things like that. but right now it looks like MLB's nightmare scenario for this postseason could be coming true-- the two least interesting teams face off for all the marbles.

naz Posted October 14, 2008 Share Posted October 14, 2008 I find it interesting that people perpetually complain about the NY/Boston/LA/SF/Chicago bias and when the prospect of a Rays/Phillies World Series rears it's ugly head, people complain that it's not "interesting". eta: Let me clarify that I'm not talking about Andrik's opinion. Just what I've hearing from nyudniks on sports radio today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Young Wolf Posted October 14, 2008 Share Posted October 14, 2008 I wanted Dodgers vs Red Sox myself. Cora is an ex Dodger and you figure the Dodgers have Manny, D Lowe, and Nomar...not to mention Torre. Id have liked to watch Joe Buck's dome explode with all the crossovers and histories.

But as a Dodger hater and a general rooter for the underdog, I'd be thrilled if it turned out the Phillies met the Rays in the series. But I don't think it's a stretch to say that various media executives would be less excited. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
▲Jim▲ Posted October 14, 2008 Share Posted October 14, 2008 I know I would be excited for a Phillies-Rays series. Although I could care less if it were the Red Sox instead of the Rays. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bronn Stone Posted October 14, 2008 Share Posted October 14, 2008 I think that the Phillies are as interesting as any team in baseball. Lots of great young players and a few old warhorses. Rays I am having a harder time getting into. Longoria is going to be a superstar though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
