My Yankees fan suitemate was rubbing their win in my face last night, taunting me about the Giants and how they didn’t even make it into the playoffs. I told her that the Yankees hadn’t won it yet. She said that they basically had, and asked me, “Who ever came back from a 3-1 deficit?”
I thought for a bit, then answered, “Boston.” Her reply? “Fuck you.”
Therefore, I want the not-Yankees to win today.

The Phillies would never do this...
… but would anyone consider pulling Lee now (50 pitches), with the idea of him starting later in the series?
No
This game is far from over.

I know...
… but even if they win tonight, they have to win two more games, and right now you’re looking at Hamels or Blanton against Sabathia in Game 7.
But I suppose if it came to that, Lee could pitch a complete game tonight and still show up in Game 7.
If they were thinking of Lee pitching game 7, he would have pitched yesterday.

Just before Tex made the last out, I was thinking how great it would be if the Phillies and Giants could share players, i.e. combine the Phillies hitters with the Giants pitchers, with Pablo and Cliff Lee as starters. So the 25-man roster for the San Francisco Giant Phillies of Philadelphia would look like this:
SS Rollins
CF Victorino
2B Utley
1B Howard
3B Sandoval
RF Werth
LF Ibanez
C Ruiz
DH Stairs
BN Bako
BN Feliz
BN Francisco
BN Bruntlett or Dobbs
SP Cliff Lee
SP Tim Lincecum
SP Matt Cain
SP Barry Zito
RP Jonathan Sanchez
RP Madison Bumgarner
RP Brandon Medders
RP Dan Runzler
RP Sergio Romo
RP Jeremy Affeldt
CL Brian Wilson
Now THAT would be a very, very good team. Assuming it’s managed by Charlie Manuel, not Boch.
If you can get 3:2 on a headline of "Giants Pitcher Assaults General Manager" at some point this year, take it.
Pfffft. Like the Yankees play fair.
Roster-sharing – get it done, Sabes.

She did, and talked about how the other 104 players shouldn’t have done it, but apparently it was supposed to be an “anonymous” test but anything you put your name on isn’t really “anonymous” now is it? also Drew Rosenhaus completely agreed with that surprisingly, because he didn’t really agree with much of anything tonight
I get the feeling Rosenhaus is kind of a douche.

not for me
It makes me depressed about our offense. If the giants are down a couple runs going into the ninth and facing a decent closer, it’s game over in my mind. But it seems like the yankees just score at will (not always in this series, but just in general when I watch them), it seems like I see a lot of comebacks when I watch other teams, since I’m not used to the giants coming back.

When one team has won a quarter of all the World Series played, they are perpetually attempting to repeat. They could go Cubs-for-the-21st-Century and enter the 22nd still vastly ahead in the total count.

Like i said, here at school, my friends would say “Women shouldn’t be in sports” blah blah blah, of course i dont agree with them at all, but i laugh. They’re dicking around, but all in all, he hasn’t talked about it, the point of a talk show is to bring about debate

While we're on the subject of Damon Bruce
This is from his Wikipedia entry:
Rooting Interests
Although Bruce covers the Giants, because he is from Illinois he is a fan of the Chicago Cubs and the Chicago Bears. However, the team he seems to be most passionate about is the Indiana Hoosiers. But all you need to do is listen to his show and it’s obvious he’s deeply interested in the success of the Giants, 49ers and Warriors but does his best to keep a professional distance to remain objective. Sometimes he succeeds, sometimes he fails, just like the teams.

I know you nerds know NOTHING about the real game of baseball, or any other athletic endeavor requiring teamwork under physical stress.
Mr. F! | comics | art | New Nattowear | Unofficial McImage Directory
haha, ok, look, whenever i listen to him, he obviously backs up his teams, the bears, the cubs, the hoosiers, JUST like anyone of us would with our respective teams, but yeah he does talk professionally about the Bay Area sports teams, and gives an outside perspective of the teams
what’s the point? Wikipedia is really not a good source first off, since YEA I KNOW anyone can edit that, and really, all you have to do is listen to him to understand what his tendencies are. And i’m cool with it, doesnt matter to me that a Chicago based fan is doing shows in the Bay Area, what difference does it make… all i’m sayin
It’s funny when you have to explain to people why wiki is not a good source to use for research papers.

I feel bad because I speak enough Spanish to get concepts across to the Spanish speaking kids… but this year one-third of the class speaks either Cantonese, Mandarin, or Vietnamese – I am hopeless with those languages, so the kids don’t get conceptual reinforcement in their native language. Hopefully images will help.
Jeeze, that must be so tough to do that for a job, just getting things across to kids that cant understand the language, i was going to ask my girlfriend that if we keep going out after college, i’d want her to move out to the Bay Area from the Cleveland area. She’s really into teaching, that’s what she wants to do for a living
Yeah Mr. Merope had one of those moments the other day when I was telling him how I was trying to teach the kids what “four” was. It becomes such a part of your knowledge base that you don’t even think about how there was a time when you didn’t know “4.”
I can’t say much about the teaching profession, I’ve been teaching since 1984 and I’m looking to get out. It’s become very frustrating as it is all standardized testing, drill and kill, and don’t you dare deviate from the damn teacher’s manual.
Yea wow, that just seems unbelievably challenging to just teach kids what “four” is, just wow. Props to you for doing that by the way.
Well, i’m hoping that my girlfriend will re-think how she’ll go about her profession, because right now it just seems like it’d be a hell of a challenge to just get involved in the field
Layoffs and what not for teachers have been pretty bad…. but I’ll tell ya what… If she has any interest whatsoever – speech language pathology is the place to be. School districts are desperate for them.
I’d love to go that route myself but I’m kinda old… and by the time I undertake 5 more years of schooling I’ll be ancient. (It might not be cost effective for us to sink $80,000 into my education so close to retirement.)
If she thinks being a “speech teacher” sounds good, it might be worth looking into, heck Money magazine just had it on their list of the top 50 jobs for the next decade. (There’s lots of paperwork, but more autonomy than a classroom teacher.)

Did you perform on the “Smurf Turf” at Boise State on Saturday?
"All I know is right now, you comeback and do you dwell on that? I think you're man enough to take it, you're man enough to chew on it, to spit it out and you learn from it. ... I think winners let it go. I think losers dwell on it and talk about it all week and that screws you up for the next opportunity going forward." - Mike Singletary after the 49ers loss to the Vikings
We went to USC in September, so that was our one trip of the year. No blue turf for us.
We’re likely going to Reno next year when we play Nevada on the road. That should be epic.

Hey guys!
Here’s some reasons to pull for the Phils..
1) The Phils knocked out the Dodgers… again
2) Most Phils fans dislike the Dodgers and their fans
3) Phils fans by and large think Lincecum rocks
What’s not to like?
4) Feliz
5) Werth. Dodgers could have kept him…
On the flip side, if Phils’ bullpen blow more saves, it makes it a little easier to sell Wilson for one of their 30-homer guys…
Werth
I didn’t mind him before but he’s been kind of a tool in this series… like today when he rounded the bases and touched home when he flew out to left.

Fuckin' Yankees...
Even when the Giants aren’t in it, they find a way to twist the knife (from Yahoo):
Burnett’s pitching line – 2 innings, 6 earned runs, 4 hits, 2 walks, and a hit batsman – ranks among the worst in Series history, in duration and ineffectiveness. Only two pitchers – Russ Ortiz of the 2002 Giants and Mordecai Brown of the 1906 Cubs – have given up more runs in as short a stint.

Dear Yankees
you might want to consider not pitching to Utley. Ever.

OT: i really do think it’s funny when i walked into my class today and listened to people actually WANT an earthquake to occur just to know what it feels like, like they wanted a 6.0 or something, mind you im in Ohio, and i was like, “oh ok, yea let’s see what happens”
go quakes!

The first time I visited Mr. Merope’s family back in Ohio, I was amazed at all the brick buildings. It was almost the first thought I had “Man, if they have a big earthquake here, these people are SCREWED.”
Exactly how i thought when i got here. Can you imagine what would happen? Plus there is the small chance of a large earthquake occurring in the area due to the New Madrid fault line that runs in Missouri. As you may well know, over a century ago there was a 8.0 earthquake, largest recorded in the continental 48 states. It’d be one of the more destructive in the US if it happens. I LOVE GEOGRAPHY
OT: Ok, i actually need some opinions here, and i’m sorry for all the OTs but i’m also going to speak to my advisor, but as of now i’m a Geography major with a minor in business management, and the business management minor is not going well, and i have 2 more classes to bring that grade up… because i got a 61 and a 62 on two exams this semester. So, my question is, what is more appealing when getting out into the work place, a GEO major and Business Managment minor? Or would a GEO major and Geology minor be acceptable, because i used to be a geology major, so i have some of those courses completed
scratch that, i guess i’m gonna have to deal with the business management minor… or have to drop out of it… i would need 18 hours of 200 level or higher for geology, plus not sure it’s accepted… whatever, sorry bout that people… shit, now i need to get a good grade on the final…
talk to your professor and so a drive to improve. More often than not the will put more weight into later exams, if you ask them to.

Pika, your minor will have little relevance. Also, you could be contacting prospective employers and ask them these questions—maybe even get an information interview out of it.

Definitely drinking some good sierra nevada pale ale and writing the last 4 pages about earthquakes, it definitely helps… NOT BLACKING OUT. OT again by the way
I think for you
it counts as on topic whenever you post about drinking

Buster Olney is a Weenie
well, it was really gary thomasson--the great, giant, fan
Language of the McCoven--TWSS!, Meh!, STFD!, Bork!, Fail!, STFD! STFD! STFD!
because….he’s a weenie. He was going on and on about how the Yankees couldn’t have started Gaudin in game five because he would have lost, how you can’t throw a righty against the Phils and expect a good outcome. Well, guess what? they didn’t start Gaudin, they still lost, and now their forced to jack up all their other starters.

He’s not the coach… i mean what’s the problem with having Gaudin pitch an inning or two? it’s not like he’s going to go the distance in a game. It does seem like that would be death however, throwing a righty against the Phils, but hey, you never know what could happen.
and his name is Buster

Um
I know you nerds know NOTHING about the real game of baseball, or any other athletic endeavor requiring teamwork under physical stress.

He said that if he had the option to take a nickname, he’d choose Buster as well.
Actually when he was really young, before our dad took off, he was G.J. as to not confuse him with our dad also named Gerald.

What is the deal with the new site design?
If I may be so bold, it looks terrible.

Thanks to roger
I've never been happier to have Crabs
It's actually not THAT different from what it was before
It does look odd, though.
