SBN is not super iPhone compliant

reading and posting in threads can be a pain. Large threads are too much for Safari mobile to handle.

Still I can’t live without my iPhone. I highly suggest you nab Sports Tap and Sportacular.

If it wasn't for college football I'd probably have given up on sports.

I highly suggest you buy Contra 4 for the DS. Dual-screen Contra!

Way ahead of you

I bought that for my GF for her birthday actually.

I’m trying to get all the secret characters in the Challenge Mode. It’s ridiculous. I haven’t even been able to beat the game on normal yet. That last guy is hard.

Contra 4

is not for the faint of heart or weak of thumb.

My thumb hurts.

Also, where do you find a girlfriend who likes Contra?

College

I think she only managed to finish the game on easy before asking me for something else to play though.

Juan Pierre starting

:(

Why does he always bat over Ethier against lefties? He’s a lefty, too! It’s not like he can hit lefties and Ethier can’t.

AND GIVE MARTIN A DAY OFF IF YOU DON’T HAVE HIM CATCHING!

by Tango and Cash on Aug 20, 2008 7:51 PM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

Lets look at splits!

Juan Pierre career vs LHP .303/.348/.346/.694
Andre Ethier career vs LHP.274/.326/.404/.730

So Juan wins average and obp but fails in slugging. I’d take Ethier’s nearly 40 point difference in OPS.

Bills throwing too many pitches

38 already? We’re not out of the second.

Billingsley must not have it tonight if he’s throwing 3 balls to Taveras. He could just throw fastballs down the middle and Taveras probably couldn’t do anything with them.

If I wasn't at work

I’d try and pay more attention to Pitch F/x to see what’s going on.

How in the hell

did he manage to swipe a base?

CLAYTON KERSHAW 4 PRESIDENT!
MATT KEMP 4 VICE!

Billingsley

4 innings pitched 72 pitches. At this rate he’ll be lucky to go 6.

99 through 5

Ehhh.

110 through 5.2

Probably time to pull him.

114 through 6

Only 68 strikes. Wild night for Bills.

If I had to take a guess, I’d say he settled down quite a bit in the later innings.

by Tango and Cash on Aug 20, 2008 9:09 PM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

I didn’t think they’d pull him when the pitcher is batting.

Mark Sweeney might be the worst player in the majors, if not for Angel Berroa.

And Chan Ho Park attempts to ruin the win.

There goes Billingsley’s win.

What a night to go to a game!

No Ethier, no Loney, the national anthem had the wrong words, and the Dodgers get 4 errors.

It was also nice of Torre to leave Ardoin in in the bottom of the ninth when Ethier was available to hit.
