That was my right to say ‘first.’ And you stole it. By being first. How dare you, sir!

Nice to open the game with a groundout.

Beating Hamels would be ‘hot’ according to McCarver. He then described it as a real ‘hip’ term.

Let me finish. Manny distracted me. The sad thing here is that this was not irony.

I was premature in my homerun call.

1-0. Manny’s almost homer was an RBI double.

Why can’t FOX get Morgan for the color guy. He’s great at mechanics (so the casual fan knows what’s going on). McCarver neither attempts to explain strategy or just has no idea what’s going on. McCarver brings nothing to the table for the casual fan (which is what FOX presumably is trying to get, since the diehards watch regardless.)
Also, thank God no FrankTV ads tonight.

Also, does Bowa like Kemp? He gave him a compliment during the lineup intros. I thought all the managers and vets (well, just Kent and Sweeney) hated all the rookies.

How can someone with 48 homers like Howard not have a monster offensive season?
Dodger Fever: Catch it every summer; head to the ER every October.
That’s not a rhetorical question. I just don’t get it. His OBP wasn’t great, but it wasn’t absolutely terrible, either.

Also, McCarver made a legitimate interesting points by recognizing that that last slider was coming based on where Martin was setting up.

Strike 3: ball or strike? I’m still uncertain.

I wasn’t looking, sorry.
Did Rosenthal just call Lowe the number two free agent?

Free agent pitcher. He said #2 after Sabathia, unless Burnett opts out.

Ken Rosenthal hates doing research.

I guess I can’t fault the guy since he must work like 18 hours a day.

Why not just throw a fastball down the middle to Lowe? What’s he going to do? Groundout.

And where is everybody? This is a playoff game? This is ridiculous. It’s not a game against the Marlins in June!

And Jayson Werth is still playing for the Dodgers!

But then he hits into the double play…I’m torn.

My comment was not in reaction to yours, but I was saying that he’s still playing for the Dodgers by grounding into a double play.

Dear Mr. Buck,
Individual achievement in baseball is team achievement. Since when you bat, it’s an individual performance that helps the team.

Hey Loney, I know you wouldn’t have made it, but if you’re going to swing at a bad pitch and the catcher loses it, at least try to get to 1B.

He’d probably rather have that be his legacy than the League of Extraordinary Gentlemen.

Is she the one that made you watch every season of Highlander in a row?

by Tango and Cash on Oct 9, 2008 6:38 PM PDT up reply actions
I think the show was pretty good. Just be glad she didn’t make you watch all 5 movies in a row. Every single one of them after the first one is terrible.

I think I only watched the first, which I thought was terrible. It’s one of my few 1s on IMDB.

If you think that deserved a 1, let me advise you to not watch the next 3-4.

No way, I used to watch that show all the time. But Andrew’s girlfriend made him watch like all 8 seasons in a row.

The second movie has to be one of the worst movies ever, I will say. The first one rules though.

I put it in my Netflix queue because I read it was good, and so I can watch that line being uttered.

There is no way that movie is good, but that line might make it worth it. On another note, you know what rules? Netflix + a dvd burner.

Is it wrong that I wish instead of 5 stars it was 10? So that I can more accurately rate movies?
by the big grabowski on Oct 9, 2008 6:49 PM PDT up reply actions
Yea, sometimes I think that. I wish there were a list of reasons that you could scroll down that would help explain why you gave it 4 stars. Like for Coyote Ugly you could click on “unintentionally hilarious.” I actually wrote a review on why I liked Coyote Ugly, so my friends wouldn’t make fun of me for giving it 4 stars. I liked it because it was the greatest meta-comedy ever.
