Giants vs. Phillies -- NLCS IST

[G-Fafif]

Great old-fashioned pitching duel between Lincecum and Halladay will be perfect as, thanks to Cablevision and Fox, I will be taking it in on a staticky AM broadcast.

I think a lot of you will join in me in watching via atdhe.net tonight.

[Willets Point]

1 hit in two innings so far. I love NL baseball.

[G-Fafif]

I love Willets Point for the invaluable tip -- 15 seconds between video and ESPN Radio, not ideal when I'm paying plenty for Cablevision, but postseason times call for postseason measures.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

I always liked that Cody Ross boy.

Salt of the earth.

[G-Fafif]

Not phond of the bottom of this Phillie order.

[G-Fafif]

Too much rest between starts, even for these Pitchelangelos. Next time you clinch early...barnstorm.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

Lincecum's bending like the beams on a storm-tossed schooner right now. I have nervous.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

I wonder if Phillies fans hated Cody Ross as much as we Met fans did before tonight.

Never met finer.

Let's see how long it takes Ross to leave the CBP field after he ends Philly's season.

[metirish]

The San Fran radio crew are just freaking great.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

2 out rungasm!

[G-Fafif]

Uribe fails to show Jetership on grounder.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

Yeah, you'll get a little of that when you start a 6'2" bucket of free-swinging tubs at short in anything but a video game.

There's a little of the slo-pitch softball team to this Giants infield defense, isn't there?

[Willets Point]

The forces of evil are rallying.

MFYs must be over Philadelphia airspace.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

Oh, do STFD, Chooch, or CharlieRoo, or whatever cutesy-poo nickname the drunks have stuck on you.

[metirish]

Lincecum has a blister the radio guys are saying, still pitching.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

Tiny strike zone isn't helping. (For both starters, really-- it's just that the Phils are actually working the small zone, while the Giants make wind.)

"GBA" performer of the evening: fifth-grade trumpet prodigy Jeffrey Galante. Charming and well-done. H/T, Phillies.

[Fman99]

Agreed, the trumpeting kid had some game.

In other news, if you're swinging a towel around for three hours, at any sporting event, you're a fucktard.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

Lincecum's at 110... but cruising. Do you go IronMan here, or go to your LOOGYs for Utley, et. al.?

Fman: A Jeff Foxworthy for the 2010s.

[Fman99]

Javier Lopez, retires Utley and Howard. Earn your LOOGY money, good for you. Four outs left.

[metirish]

Kuiper and Fleming saying " fear the beard coming in".....

[G-Fafif]

If the Beard can get somebody out, Brian Wilson can make significant gains in the Wilson competition.

[G-Fafif]

Bring in Wilson Pickett. Or Tennis Balls.

[Fman99]

Brian Wilson looks Reardon-esque out there with the beard.
