Wagner blowing this game would suit me just fine.

As a batter I guess it works cause you have to imagine he's crazy. It's freakin scary. And it's distracting. I keep looking for the strings that's holding it on.

At least this is getting interesting. 4-4 at 12:15 am EST. Some guy on the mound for S.F. with a very strange looking fake beard.

Did anyone see what Jeff W said a few days ago? [Jeff Wilpon on Citi Field]-- The ownership group will at least discuss changing the dimensions of Citi Field, if the new general manager is interested. The ballpark is cavernous, with high outfield walls. Wilpon mentioned reducing the size of the walls as one option. �We tailored it to what the old GM and the baseball department wanted,� Wilpon said. �There�s some things we can do.� So Omar (the old GM,lol) is now being blamed for the way Citi Field is laid out? Ownership had no say in Citi Fields final design? Jeff, at least you can make me laugh after this season. That's gotta be good for something.

never mind.

I stuck a fork in the Braves as soon as Prado went down. Tough getting into this series. The only reason I can say I have it on is because it's late night baseball. Ya gotta love late night baseball. Am I right or am I right?

I just saw that crazy inning by the Phils (horrible inning for the Reds) on playback. What was the final word? Was that ball lost in the lights or in the white hankies? I'm gonna go on record saying white hankies should be banned from the stands. Colored hankies are acceptable.

OUCH. I somehow doubt that was intentional. Watch the umps issue warnings, lol.

Just lower the height of the walls in places, don't have to bring them in. I like the cut out area in right. That gives the stadium some individual character. But also have that wall lowered ( No more MODELLS sign, which they'll never do because of the ad revenue I guess, and also I don't know how they would make the seats workout there). This section of wall being too high is my least complaint. I'm sure some will say overall the big walls also add character to the stadium but I don't think so. Not in a positive way, at the current dimensions. I can see how the area in right could be cause for a serious injury to someone, someday, and I said that here before the stadium was even completed (it's the odd way the bullpen section comes out from the cutout that was my concern), but now, on the other side of the coin, I can see some great catches and singular type plays occurring there that would not happen anywhere else. (Maybe they should put bumpers out there in the cut out and lights that flash when the ball hits em and bounces off at some wacky angle, like a pinball machine. Ha, I kid and destroy all credibility anyone would have given this post.)

So the only run so far involves a bad call by an ump? I don't think MLB needs replay. I think they need people who can ump. Sheesh. Whoever's in the booth says the ump was blocked out because of where he was standing. Well, then why was he standing there? Stand where you have a good chance to see all possible plays around your base. Well, duh.....

Rays' Baldelli out of Rangers series with fatigue.......he has some sort of syndrome or malady right? Segments from Wiki: Baldelli underwent extensive medical testing to determine the reasons for his muscle problems and worsening fatigue after even brief workouts. Doctors discovered some "metabolic and/or mitochondrial abnormalities" and began trying to design a medical plan to improve the condition. During the 2008-09 offseason, further medical testing indicated that Baldelli suffers from a form of channelopathy, which makes his condition less serious and more treatable than the previous diagnosis of a mitochondrial disorder. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Channelopathy (I just turned on the game. Was reading this thread. Don't know if the broadcast detailed his ailment)

The rookie cup sucked. The trophy is the only way to go. Artistic license says going with the trophy no matter the year is totally acceptable, and even super kool for the cup years.

Edgy DC wrote: Why invest any emotion over a division series? This is the Yankees we're talking about. It's not like he can't jump back on the bandwagon in two weeks if it's still running. That's fucked up shit.

I'd like to see the Yanks play the Phils in the big show but not enough to sit here and cheer for them. Fuck that. Twins/Phils wouldn't suck. GO GOOD BASEBALL! Loriano pitchin a good game so far.

Edgy DC wrote: Yanks have a history (once ro twice anyhow) of calling the game if there's a 20% chance of rain and a 100% chance of Halladay. Here's hoping he chews them up if they face each other in the Series. That's the spirit! Cheers! Talked to my good buddy today, big Skankee fan, still lives in NYC. I said "So lookin foward to the Yank game tonight?" And he says "Nah, not gonna watch it. Have to be up early tomorrow. The Yanks are not gonna make it to the World Series. They just don't have what it takes this year." wtf? I mean, even if you think that in some dark corner of your heart (about your team), do you go around saying it? I guess I'm just not in touch with what it is to be a fan anymore.

un fuckin believeable phones ringing of the hook. First two calls were from my bros (Met fans all), so that was okay. Then a buddy who's a Phils fan called and I said unfuckinbelieveable!, then:listen, I gotta get my shit out of the dryer, call ya back. I just did not want to talk to him. lmao. damn. If he says we got a perfect game in the reg season and a no-no in the playoffs and your Mets don't even have one in all their history, I'll run over to his house and pop him one.lol But he won't say that. he's not a dick. But I know a few Phils fans who are. Note to self: Avoid the dicks. Screen all calls.

unfuckinbelievable!

unfuckinbelieveable

I think he could no hit them through 15 if he wanted. Well, if anyone can, it's him. This is something else. I'm almost gettin butterflies over here, lol. Imagine if this was the Mets. Id be sitting on all the bricks I'd be shitting. I'm kinda glad it don't REALLY matter to me.

Wowzers. I still say no way can he do it. He gives it up in the 9th. ^What a strange way to root,lol.

bmfc1 wrote: The Amazin' Avenue blog just tweeted: I have no love lost for the Phillies but I'm sure as hell rooting for Halladay here. Why would any Mets fan want anything good to happen to the Phillies or see their fans happy? Do you think that Phillies fans would be rooting for a Met pitcher in the same situation? I know that we don't have to lower ourselves to their level, and that we can appreciate greatness, history and artistry, but F the Phillies. I'm a Met fan first and a baseball fan second. As a fan of the game how can you not want to see something like this happen? Who gives a flying fuck about the Phils fans. I know I don't. They can hurl all over each other for all I care. This is post season baseball and this is exciting, no matter what team is doing it. Don't be petty.
