Dream on!
I’m just not even going to watch anymore. Between Sharks and never-ending football, oh yeah, and that pesky midterm on Tuesday, I think I can make it through the weekend without watching anymore baseball!
+1
football all the way for me. Unless the Twins make this some sort of miracle

just my luck that my Jets are playing Monday night, so I won’t be feeling my usual Sunday excitement tomorrow. Still I’ll take football over baseball tomorrow as there’s nothing worse than playoff baseball without the Giants. Just get the post season over and let the FA signing period begin already!
No Edgar, it's not your fault, it's the fault of the idiot that plays you
Are you playing fantasy football?
if not, I recommend it. Makes every game exciting. Or just bet on them lol

Fantasy fans tend to drive me nuts when I’m watching the game, so I’ve never really gotten into it. I used to have season tickets to the Jets’ games and it would make me crazy to have my team losing while some jerk behind me is yelling because somebody in Seattle just scored a TD.
No Edgar, it's not your fault, it's the fault of the idiot that plays you
There’s always the “pick ’em” variation where you just pick the winners. There are free and pay leagues.
yup
that’s what i do. i really don’t like rooting for an opposing team’s player to score a game winning TD against the niners
Meh
I just don’t care. I don’t root for that player that week. If he scores, fine, but I’ll gladly take a fantasy loss if the niners do well. I had AP in a league and was very happy to see him shut down in Minny

I had a dream last night
That Neukom was lying about not increasing the payroll, and he went out and dropped enough money for Bay AND Holliday, playing Holliday in RF because he’s the superior defender.
I was so happy. Then I woke up.
Why do San Francisco teams insist on having terrible offenses? Frank Gore and Pablo Sandoval can't do it all.
Bay and Holliday
would that in any way be worth it?

And Pablo hit really well because they were behind him.

I've never been happier to have Crabs
Your Niners and my Jets both picked up prima donna wide receivers on the same day. Who’ll be the first to piss his new team off? Crabtree or Braylon Edwards? As for Neukom, didn’t he say he WAS willing to increase payroll?
No Edgar, it's not your fault, it's the fault of the idiot that plays you
Crabtree isn't a diva
nothing he’s done in his entire career says he is. His holdout was his agent’s call, not his. I personally don’t think Edwards is a “diva” either, I just think he’s an idiot. Nice job by your jets pulling that trade off after it became apparent they couldn’t fuck with Crabtree’s negotiations any more. I look forward to the niners getting your 5th rounder next year :)

You think that a Bay LF, (insert CF), Holliday RF would make this team WORSE, on the whole?

Denver awoke to icy roads, multitudes of accidents on the highways and snow all around, with the updated forecast for the scheduled 7:37 p.m. game time calling for a temperature of 26 degrees — which would have been by far the lowest for a postseason game in history.

Just confirmed:
After Game 3 of the Rockies-Phillies playoff series was postponed because of winter weather Saturday, the Phillies announced a pitching change.
They will send lefty J.A. Happ to the mound instead of Martinez. Happ, a rookie, said Friday that he felt better after being knocked out of Game 1. He he entered in relief and took a hard liner off his left leg in the seventh inning.
The Rockies on Sunday are sticking with their scheduled starter, right-hander Jason Hammel.

The Baseball Gods are clever
First off, of course they can see into your soul. They know who you’re pulling for even if you never breathe a word of it. That said, they don’t always work against you sometimes, like in 2001, they allow a chemically enhanced former Tigers fourth outfielder to flip a dying quail over the head of the Greatest Player Who Ever Lived, Except Harold Baines, and then you start to think that it’s not all a cruel joke, that happiness is possible, that, hey, maybe anybody can win this thing, and they keep you going for months and months and then when you’re so close you can smell it, they crush you again.

If #2 comes to pass the Rockies will roll over on their backs and pee on their stomachs just like the always do vs. top division mates not named the Giants. And no the ’07 Snakes do not count. If the Rockies find some nads and make that series interesting I’ll pay it more attention and root for Dodger defeats but I sure am not holding my breathe.

Ned Colletti
seems to me Dodgers have been doing quite well with a mediocre GM. Schmidt, Pierre, Andruw Jones were really bad signings. Furcal had one good year. Colletti had one really good trade in Ethier. I might be kind of cherry picking but I think his performance probably can’t be said as better than his old boss Sabean.
Somehow this makes me a little more optimistic on the Giants.

What burns my ass is I’m watching these games and I keep thinking that if Sabean were competent enough to field even an average offense, just a fucking reasonably competent Major League squad, and the Giants would OWN any team in the NL playoffs.
Utter frustration and futility.

ugh
I’m sure something like this will happen.
What I’d like to see them do is replace the absolute holes of suck, with average bats. Instead, I’m sure we’ll pay a significant amount of money for someone who is a level off from the top. And, even if they are technically not ‘overpaid’ like Rowand, they will still provide not enough value to boost the offense significantly, given that there will still be myriad absolute holes.
Without a massive payroll, teams do not win by signing players to ‘fair value’ contracts. They need to find surplus value in lower paid guys.
earlier today
I ran the pythag for the Giants if they had scored the NL average amount of runs, 747.
97 wins. Best record in the NL.

The problem so far:
Post-season ball is not a matter of finding out who’s better than whom, and nowadays many people realize that. But what it should be about is the thrill of seeing baseball played at its very best, played by the very best teams under the greatest stress.
Has even one game this post-season looked like a showcase of baseball played at its very best? Or anything remotely close? Or have we seen sets of 18 guys with lampshades on their heads?
Professional baseball analyst since 1980.
Wow. Why are you a baseball fan?
You may not like the Yankees, but A-Rod hitting a two run homerun in the bottom of the ninth to tie the game against one of the best closers in baseball (who hadn’t give up a homerun all season) is pretty damn compelling.
Torii Hunter’s three run homerun and passion after was pretty cool to see. And the Angels dominating the Red Sox after the Red Sox have owned them is compelling also.
So how would you “fix” the playoffs? Let 16 teams in so the regular season doesn’t matter? Just award the championship to the team with the best record at the end of the season?
the best baseball is in the LCS

evils vs lesser evils
Let’s just consider this from a practical standpoint for a moment. During the course of the regular season next year the dodgers will be up here to play the Giants how many times? 9? 10? You know how those dodger fans act already. Now….can you imagine if the bums actually won the freaking World Series? Those dodger fans would be – and I find this difficult to fathom – but they would be DRUNKER, RUDER, LOUDER, and MORE OBNOXIOUSER!!
So while around here we are secretly hoping for the asteroid; from a logical standpoint we’ll root for the Angels, though if it comes to that, I doubt we watch.
Well, which is it? Asteroid or meteor? Inquiring Mayans need to know!

How about…whichever has the potential to be bigger and more devastating?
From the wiki “The current official definition of a meteoroid from the International Astronomical Union is ‘a solid object moving in interplanetary space, of a size considerably smaller than an asteroid and considerably larger than an atom.’”
Yes, an asteroid would have to break free from the asteroid belt to wallop the LA Basin… and that’s unlikely, but a woman can dream.

But we don’t want a major, nickel-iron asteroid to hit, because that would be an ELE.
I think something along the lines of the Tunguska event — a dirty snowball, devastating just the local area — would be ideal. Preferably hitting Dodger Stadium, as final justice for the bloody clearing of Chavez Ravine. I kind of like Disneyland.

That’s a great way to cope.
I was an Angels fan for a while. I was born in Orange County and according to my parents, we went to games all the time at the Big A when I was fresh out of the womb. I grew up a Giants fan (born to San Francisco parents, and we moved back up here shortly after I was born) as well as an Angels fan. But then they had an identity crisis and 2002 happened, and I turned my back on them.

IMO, the Angels were the lesser of two evils, so definitely wanted them to win. Also completes the State Rape, which is kind of fun to see (even though it does include the Ducks beating the Bruins 6-1).

There’s also the Second Missouri Compromise, when the Kings and Dodgers beat the Blues and Cardinals respectively, but despite the great history reference, I’m not a fan of anything that promotes the Dodgers winning.
Also, that was totally weird how the LA Kings were playing the St. Louis Blues the same day the Dodgers were playing the Cardinals. And how the Anaheim Ducks were playing the Boston Bruins the same day that the Angels played the Red Sox. Way too coincidental.

Well, first, it isn't either team's call; it's MLB's call.
Second, it is brutally cold there in the night, and a little less brutally cold in the daytime. It would have been more humane for the players, and thus a little more fair.
What am I saying??? “Fair” baseball can’t be played in Denver. That ridiculous altitude; the questionable humidification of the balls for BOTH teams (ahem); and now autumn chill that doesn’t really test the teams in conditions in which they played the season. Grumble, grumble, grumble.

Back in the early 70s (as I recall)NBC was experimenting with live microphones on the field.
I remember watching one particular game involving the Dodgers and Lasorda was the third base coach and had the microphone on.
Pedro Guerrero was batting and hit a triple, and at the end of the play Lasorda walked over to him and said, “Pedro, you tore the fucking cover off the fucking ball”, plain as day.
Instantly the sound went off on Lasorda’s mic, and he was not to be heard from again.

Fans are colder, they don’t get to move around. At any rate, same conditions for both teams. It’s not like it’s below zero.
Getting jammed on a 95+ FB is painful when it’s not cold, imagine the pain when it’s as cold as it is right now. I’d bet that even solid contact doesn’t feel too pleasant. Season long aches and pains are magnified when it’s that cold.
I understand your point about moving around to stay warm etc…, but baseball was not intended to be played when it’s that cold.

Which is why nobody with any sense would go commando without batting gloves. So far, quite opposite to the TBS prediction, this is hitting weather. The pitchers are going to have a very hard time keeping their hands warm, breaking pitches aren’t breaking as much in the heavier air, etc. This could be a high scoring game.
We shall see.

My lack of sympathy is also based on the fact that my daughter played more than a few fast-pitch softball games in identical weather. A few millionaires can nut up for three hours.
I never played in sub 40º weather. Though I do recall being pretty damn miserable in some of the cold ones I played in. Batting gloves do help, but not that much.

Nah. Cruddy defense, fluky career year with the bat.
Merkin Valdez? Manuel Mateo? A rose by any other name...
even if he reverts to his 07 or 08 level (around 800 OPS), it’s still a nice upgrade from what we are getting now…
But the guy has been consistently abysmal defensively (-17 runs on UZR). That is not better than any of the OFers we have—-and even if it were slightly better, it definitely isn’t worth Wilson.

For radio, the home teams do get to do it. Back in the 70’s, they used to use one of the home announcers. If you ever check out some of the old games that are televised, you could hear Monte Moore do World Series games when the A’s were in.

I’m sure Jon will be the ESPN radio broadcaster through the postseason. I don’t know what series he will have during the LCS, but if he started with the ALDS, then maybe ALCS.

I fell asleep last night before I could catch the names of the 2 dudes doing the Philly game on ESPN radio last night; however, the “color” guy said that he was with the Giants minor league system when Yorvit was coming up. He said “I told him he’d never make it as a catcher: he was too skinny. I didn’t know he was only 16 at the time.” Or something to that effect anyways…they [the color and p-b-p guy] were okay on the broadcast.
Then again… I DID fall asleep, so maybe not…
Chris Singleton is the guy.

ESPN is only a little happy. Yankees made it to the ALCS. No Red Sox, though. But it will be all pro-Yankees to a point where more people will start to root for the Angels when they normally wouldn’t.
