So I was originally planning on only going to tonights game. So I got out my winter clothes, long johns and heavy jackets and sweaters put them in the washer at 7 pm. My buddy calls me about 10 minutes later and ask if I want to go to the game as his friend can’t make it. I said “fuck yeah!”. I then realized that I had no really warm clothes. Long story short the of a Dodgers Massacre kept me warm at the park last night in a light got and sweat pants

Shane Victorino will manage to run onto the infield grass at a crucial moment, resulting in a wacky three-error, three-run play. Victorino will be universally admired for showing so much heart and for playing the other league’s championship series the right way.
However, that will only tie the game. He’ll have to grab Jared Weaver’s ankle in the ninth to complete the job, causing the pitcher to balk in the winning run.
Wait… it’s Jered Weaver? With four E’s? Man. His stupid name will just balk in the winning run on its own. That and his hair.

Doing the ghoulish reading of the TBLA gameday thread thing
There was griping about how we were probably loving it (guilty as charged!), and then someone replied by saying what we were probably actually doing:
likely putting on black eyeliner
and crying in front of a tv in their basements eating a can of ravioli
while watching ESPN classic
First of all, it’s our MOM’S basements…like we have our places.
And as for the rest, I thought that was just WalrusMan?

Speaking of which
I was looking at their story about Johjima returning to Japan, which calls him the best catcher in franchise history, and the commenters freak out when someone doesn’t like him. Looking at his stats, it’s hard to see why: sub-.300 OBPs two years in a row, not very much power, and in the comments it sounds like his defense isn’t great either. Huh.

The San Francisco Giants, with arguably two of the top four starters in the National League in Tim Lincecum and Matt Cain, would instantly become the National League West favorites if they signed Holliday.
As to who to root for?
The Angels screwed us out of our first legit shot at a World Series since 1962. Yet in 62 it was the Yankees that screwed us. But I didn’t see ’62 and I still remember “the game that shall not be mentioned” very vividly so even though the Yankees are the general evil of baseball, and represent all that is wrong with the competitive balance of the game, I still hate the Angels. Besides Lackey and Soscia are still on this team therefore Fuck the Angles. And to Top it off I still think of Soscia as a douche bag Dodger catcher.
The San Francisco Giants must win at least one World Series before I die.
Totally. I’m still trying to figure out who I’m rooting for… or rather who I ’m rooting against more. I was at Toronado Saturday night and everyone was rooting against the Yankees (and some for the West Coast), so I kinda went with that. Though I was really happiest that they were playing at midnight in 47 degree rain.

I actually find Yankee fans to be tolerable. They know they spend money to win games. Unlike Red Sox fans who think the sox are a successful version of the A’s with all homegrown/traded for talent.
My hate for the Yankee stems from nothing more than the constant fellatio they receive from the media. And how can you blame someone for getting that for free?

The thing that drives me crazy about Yankee fans is that so many of them think it’s their birthright to win the World Series every year.
That and thinking that they’re the only team with a great tradition. And stuff like talking about how players should appreciate the “tremendous honor of wearing the pinstripes.”

Via MLB Trade Rumors
Scott Boras believes Mark Teixeira and Matt Holliday are both “blue-collar superstars,” learned Bill Shaikin of the L.A. Times. Boras considers both to be “complete players,” and finds Holliday unique in the upcoming free agent class. Boras’ comments imply that Holliday’s advantage over Jason Bay is his defense.
No matter how well Boras pitches Holliday, it seems highly unlikely the outfielder will sniff the eight-year, $180MM deal Tex received. Speculation so far has focused on the typical big-market clubs, but here in October it’s too early to say which teams will make legitimate, $100MM+ bids.
It’s always fun to read Boras’ hyperbolic statements about his clients. His other free agents include Ivan Rodriguez, Jason Varitek, Felipe Lopez, Adrian Beltre, Joe Crede, Garret Anderson, Johnny Damon, Manny Ramirez, Rick Ankiel, Andruw Jones, Xavier Nady, and Jarrod Washburn (Varitek and Manny have 2010 options).

I just don’t really like the idea of a term that’s meant to describe hard-working, wage-earning laborers – with the positive connotations that such labor generally deserves – being used to describe a professional athlete.
Yeah, I know the connotations transcend uniformed labor and include exhibiting dependability, and being hard-working and unpretentious, and so on, and I know that the term has been applied in sports and especially to baseball players for years and years, but it always leaves me with a feeling of meh….
Really? A professional athlete? Yeah, it can be a noble profession that puts you in a position to noble things, but it always felt like a cheap application of the term to me.

I think it’s working for now, but at some point teams will realize that he’s just creating an artificial bubble for the players he represents and start adjusting their attitudes toward him accordingly. A team will decide “Oh, this player is worth $80 million” and Boras will say “No, he’s worth $120 million, easy” and instead of listening to him, they’ll just think about Zito or Hampton or Matsuzaka or the $50 million that he wanted for Strasburg (but now claims he didn’t because he doesn’t want people to see the credibility gap) and stick much closer to their original offers.

I agree. To me it’s like watching vomit in an epic playground struggle with dog shit. Which do you root for?

We can always pray for the stadium to collapse on both teams.
This would also take out the rally monkey, thundersticks and a large number of Angles and Yankees fans.

1982, when I was fresh out of the womb. My parents took me to games at the big A when we lived down there. We moved to the Bay Area a few months after I was born.

It is sad
I used to like that stadium & most Angel fans (the ones who were fans prior to October 1, 2002). I took my son to his first game that year in Anaheim. But man, did that bandwagon (and the outcome) in that WS ruin everything.
When I think of real Angel fans, I think of a couple of friends of mine who hate the Dodgers almost as much as I do. The rest of them were Dodger fans prior to that year.
"It's too late now."
My first baseball game was at Candlestick. I got seperated from my father and had to have a Park security gaurd call my father’s name over the loud speaker.
Other than that, it was a great experience.
FIRE BRUCE BOCHY NOW!!!!!!
AND TAKE BRIAN SABEAN WITH HIM!!!!!
That couldn’t have been in the mid 70s. A loudspeaker would have been overkill in a park with 900 fans.
