It was a close game. We jumped out to a quick 14-0 lead, but Arizona State eventually came back to take a 21-20 lead. We pulled out a good road win, though. Playing in Tempe isn’t easy.
So, if someone is EVER close enough to do anything about it,
I need you all to solemnly swear you’ll pick up a blunt object and strike Joe Buck and/or Tim McCarver repeatedly with it.
Hit Buck first because McCarver will stare at you doing it for the entire time and regale you with stories of some inane connection he’s made between your beating Joe Buck to death and the conversation he had with Yankees manager, Joe Girardi.
It is used in semiconductor manufacturing for doping Silicon wafers. To put it simply, these computers we all are using have loads of chips that have been run multiple times through tools like this.
Wow, if you have watched this entire game, you would have never known that the Packers are playing the Vikings tommorow...can they promo it one more time?
So does that mean that I can call you on a Saturday night and you can provide me with the California Lottery numbers before they are drawn in California?
in Joe Buck’s narration of the deluxe edition DVD of Yankeeness, the Yankees fell behind 43-0 in this game until Jeter hit 26 home runs and threw out 54 runners at home to seal the thrilling comeback victory.
Then, upon further reviewing the tape, they’ll discover a few A-Rod HRs they thought were foul.
Let's go Phil-lies
worldblee - October 31, 2009
Excellent -- two out
cuppingmaster - October 31, 2009
Let's go JA Happ!
clap clap clapclapclap
danmerqury - October 31, 2009
I think it's interesting how they manage their pitchers....seems different than during the regular season.
BERRYJO - October 31, 2009
"Interesting," as in "unbelievably stupid"?
Nico - October 31, 2009
Time will tell! Using starters as relievers....but I guess if your BP is less than stellar it's a strategy
BERRYJO - October 31, 2009
Well, they're not using a fifth starter anyway. With all these off days, they won't need to.
Nice that he won’t go to waste.
danmerqury - October 31, 2009
I'm just stunned that they're not getting 3 starts out of Cliff Lee
Nico - October 31, 2009
Until now, I felt the Phillies pitching was pretty hapless.
Nico - October 31, 2009
Close to 80 now
Glad we got the ridiculously large extra bag of candy.
worldblee - October 31, 2009
where are you?? lots of activity in your town!
BERRYJO - October 31, 2009
Chico
worldblee - October 31, 2009
We had to shut the lights out at my mom's.
She was giving it out like…well, like candy earlier.
Wait.
Leopold Bloom - October 31, 2009
Runs aren't that hard for the Phillies
Just have to stop the bleeding.
Hit4TheCycle - October 31, 2009
broomy
stormtown - October 31, 2009
Let's see some hits and runs - lots of 'em!
BERRYJO - October 31, 2009
From the Phillies!
danmerqury - October 31, 2009
well - of course.....
BERRYJO - October 31, 2009
So, has the fact that the Yankees felate
many, many Donkeys been brought up yet?
If not, allow me to put forth that idea.
Leopold Bloom - October 31, 2009
i thought that was just an unspoken truth
cuppingmaster - October 31, 2009
well, definitely, but it doesn't mean it shouldn't regularly be brought up.
Leopold Bloom - October 31, 2009
trick or treat!
OakA'sHoney - October 31, 2009
here's some candy, little girl.
Leopold Bloom - October 31, 2009
of all the cocksuckers to misspell fellate..
stormtown - October 31, 2009
LOL!
you’re my favorite!
Leopold Bloom - October 31, 2009
Duly noted.
Note to self: Yankees blow ass.
danmerqury - October 31, 2009
LOL!
cuppingmaster - October 31, 2009
Hey LB.....How r u?
not sure I wanted to know that!!
BERRYJO - October 31, 2009
Uh, I slept all day, then went to mom's to watch
her pass out candy. I’m okay.
Leopold Bloom - October 31, 2009
It was a lazy kind of day for sure...
BERRYJO - October 31, 2009
trick or treat!
OakA'sHoney - October 31, 2009
here's your dinner i heated it up
cuppingmaster - October 31, 2009
how thoughtful of you!
Leopold Bloom - October 31, 2009
thanks!
it’s yummy
OakA'sHoney - October 31, 2009
thanks, it's yummy
OakA'sHoney - October 31, 2009
echo
cuppingmaster - October 31, 2009
come on utley!!!
OakA'sHoney - October 31, 2009
That was quite a nice Teixeira play.
danmerqury - October 31, 2009
I kinda like him.....just wish he wasn't a yankee....
BERRYJO - October 31, 2009
Yeah, I feel the same way.
I know he’s played for teams I hate (Rangers, Angels, Yankees), but I can’t dislike the guy. He’s really good, and importantly, ahem A-Rod, likable.
danmerqury - October 31, 2009
For a guy who "doesn't have great range" (UZR?)
Teixeira sure has great range.
Nico - October 31, 2009
Yeah, I'm chalking that one up as a sample size UZR error.
danmerqury - October 31, 2009
So far, Howard has been the King of whiff this series
Rather than the king of swing as the sign suggested
cuppingmaster - October 31, 2009
King of Swing...and a MISS
worldblee - October 31, 2009
Oh he's been swinging all right......just not connecting!
BERRYJO - October 31, 2009
What she said
worldblee - October 31, 2009
He was on the latest SI cover
So there you go.
Flashfire - October 31, 2009
Wow - I get back from taking little miss specialK around the neighborhood, and miss an epic Phillies PHAIL
bummer
doctorK - October 31, 2009
Be sure to let her know that it wasn't ALL her fault
worldblee - October 31, 2009
now they've stopped coming and i still have a bunch of snickers left
OakA'sHoney - October 31, 2009
Still getting a trickle of kids
But it’s getting slow.
worldblee - October 31, 2009
SWISH
STFU Buck
doctorK - October 31, 2009
Swisher!
Damn. But….Nick!
danmerqury - October 31, 2009
damn
cuppingmaster - October 31, 2009
A NO DOUBTER
BERRYJO - October 31, 2009
Swisher
has been the difference for New York this year, maybe his numbers don’t show it. But that relaxed attitude he brings will only help them.
Hit4TheCycle - October 31, 2009
Phillies are like the A's
Score a few runs then stop altogether and wait for the other team to pass them.
worldblee - October 31, 2009
Sorry Swish
You’re wearing the wrong uni
OaklandSi - October 31, 2009 via mobile
Hamels is wishing he threw that fastball to Pettite last time he was up
worldblee - October 31, 2009
And...Girardi? You benched this for Jerry Hairston Thursday?
Ooops.
danmerqury - October 31, 2009
He hadn't exactly torn things up in the playoffs to this point
Flashfire - October 31, 2009
Yeah, but a slumping Nick Swisher is still miles better than a normal Jerry Hairston.
danmerqury - October 31, 2009
Moon shot
worldblee - October 31, 2009
HOLY CRAP, Jayson.
My lord.
danmerqury - October 31, 2009
holy shit
cuppingmaster - October 31, 2009
OMG - THAT WAS A LONG ONE
(twss)
doctorK - October 31, 2009
Dang......wish there were two guys on in front of THAT
BERRYJO - October 31, 2009
Dayam
That was one big bomb
OaklandSi - October 31, 2009 via mobile
crappy at bat there
BERRYJO - October 31, 2009
If it was possible to have a lawndart swing, Ibanez just demonstrated it
doctorK - October 31, 2009
Seriously
worldblee - October 31, 2009
WALK - the sign says so!!!
BERRYJO - October 31, 2009
On second thought
maybe not
BERRYJO - October 31, 2009
His eyes were too big
worldblee - October 31, 2009
Are you guys having some trouble posting?
Some posts are taking literally 2-3 minutes to post.
danmerqury - October 31, 2009
Working fine for me
worldblee - October 31, 2009
goblins!
stormtown - October 31, 2009
Probably....
I like this answer!
BERRYJO - October 31, 2009
DanMan...does the yellow line on Fangraphs indicate it is in the current inning?
and my posts are not taking that long – to answer your Q
BERRYJO - October 31, 2009
I believe that the yellow just means the last play that happened.
Not terribly useful, but it’s there.
danmerqury - October 31, 2009
TY
BERRYJO - October 31, 2009
What happened to your post?? I was gonna go back and read it! darn
BERRYJO - October 31, 2009
My fanpost? Still there.
I think it fell out of the “recommended fanposts” section, but it’s still on the recent ones.
danmerqury - October 31, 2009
I just did a search and found it...
gonna read it soon – before I forget!
BERRYJO - October 31, 2009
Cool!
Always cool to get more readers.
danmerqury - October 31, 2009
I like fangraphs....would like to know more about what I am looking at.
BERRYJO - October 31, 2009
And that's why I wrote it.
I know a lot of AN had questions when someone would post a game graph.
danmerqury - October 31, 2009
i am
OakA'sHoney - October 31, 2009
that was weird, i couldn't post, then it wouldn't even let me connect to AN
OakA'sHoney - October 31, 2009
you still have some snickers baby? i want one now
cuppingmaster - October 31, 2009
i have lots
OakA'sHoney - October 31, 2009
yum, pass some over here
cuppingmaster - October 31, 2009
Freeze 'em - there good frozen, too
BERRYJO - October 31, 2009

BERRYJO - October 31, 2009
Oooooh...
I’m gonna run to the freezer.
danmerqury - October 31, 2009
We have high standards.
And a few security checks.
Nico - October 31, 2009
i'm back, AN hates me
OakA'sHoney - October 31, 2009
Welcome Back
I don’t hate you.
Rated-R Superstar - October 31, 2009
But you hate the Chargers, right?
worldblee - October 31, 2009
Definitely
I hate them quite a bit and their fans.
Rated-R Superstar - October 31, 2009
yay cal won!
OakA'sHoney - October 31, 2009
trick or treat!
OakA'sHoney - October 31, 2009
Treat
Cal won, so I’m happy.
Rated-R Superstar - October 31, 2009
pretty close game tho wasn;t it?
BERRYJO - October 31, 2009
Close Game
It was a close game. We jumped out to a quick 14-0 lead, but Arizona State eventually came back to take a 21-20 lead. We pulled out a good road win, though. Playing in Tempe isn’t easy.
Rated-R Superstar - October 31, 2009
You think the standings are gonna improve with this win right??
BERRYJO - October 31, 2009
Poll Movement
We should move up in all polls.
Rated-R Superstar - October 31, 2009
Any chance for a bowl bid??
BERRYJO - October 31, 2009
Bowl Game
We’ll definitely have one. We might even end up playing Oklahoma.
Rated-R Superstar - October 31, 2009
Force the swing and miss
BERRYJO - October 31, 2009
Eyes switch from Eugene to Philadelphia
Ears remain in Indio, where Phish’s musical costume is Exile on Main St.
Soaker - October 31, 2009
Again, I'm still in favor of the hit A-Rod strategy
worldblee - October 31, 2009
It always worked for me in the video games!
lailaihei - October 31, 2009
Bad time for HBP!!
BERRYJO - October 31, 2009
still, if he's getting on, I want him HBP.
Repeatedly.
Leopold Bloom - October 31, 2009
Groove in the K!!!
BERRYJO - October 31, 2009
ANd Again....please
BERRYJO - October 31, 2009

I HATE that guy

danmerqury - October 31, 2009
I really do not like Posada
doctorK - October 31, 2009
Seriously, I fucking hate the Yankees.
Leopold Bloom - October 31, 2009
I hate the yankoos so much.
lailaihei - October 31, 2009
A-Rod has two portraits of himself painted as a centaur.

he's icky
OakA'sHoney - October 31, 2009
Try linking it
like this
lailaihei - October 31, 2009
There we go, thanks.
Guess the comma broke the formatting.
danmerqury - October 31, 2009
Mine only went to the yahoo page?
BERRYJO - October 31, 2009
what a tool
cuppingmaster - October 31, 2009
Damn - that K was one batter tooooo late!
BERRYJO - October 31, 2009
The Yankees got a break that Posada was "robbed" of a walk
You want to be facing Cano right now, not A-Rod or Posada. If Posada walks, that run doesn’t score.
Nico - October 31, 2009
True.....I just wanted Posada's at bat not to yield a score....
BERRYJO - October 31, 2009
why do we do this for the 7th inning now?
Effing Yankees ruin everything.
Leopold Bloom - October 31, 2009
Well - WE at the Coli don't. I for one am happy we don't
BERRYJO - October 31, 2009
completely.
Leopold Bloom - October 31, 2009
hi pals
I have arrived to ignite the massive Phils crooked # rally here.
emperor nobody - October 31, 2009
Isn't there a warrant out for...that?

Keep the conversation going while you’re seizing in the emergency room.
danmerqury - October 31, 2009
okay
this here’s the best. ever.
Leopold Bloom - October 31, 2009
WOW.....
BERRYJO - October 31, 2009
my mom (born in Bronx, lifelong Yankfan)
thinks that Jeter and A-Rod are together.
emperor nobody - October 31, 2009
an interesting supposition.....
BERRYJO - October 31, 2009
aren't they?
lol
OakA'sHoney - October 31, 2009
Let me know when Minka Kelly and Kate Hudson are...together.
danmerqury - October 31, 2009
in your dreams
OakA'sHoney - October 31, 2009
How'd you know?
danmerqury - October 31, 2009
we all dream about that girl on girl stuff
OakA'sHoney - October 31, 2009
Whoa
I am shocked.
Rated-R Superstar - October 31, 2009
no you're not
OakA'sHoney - October 31, 2009
Right
You win.
Rated-R Superstar - October 31, 2009
No.
We all win.
danmerqury - October 31, 2009
YAY!
I’m a winner!
Leopold Bloom - October 31, 2009
loser
doctorK - October 31, 2009
Loser
Rated-R Superstar - October 31, 2009
I suck.
(sigh)
Leopold Bloom - October 31, 2009
really?
OakA'sHoney - October 31, 2009
well.
Leopold Bloom - October 31, 2009
Winner
Rated-R Superstar - October 31, 2009
"we" ;-)
cuppingmaster - October 31, 2009
that's kind of a disturbing thought,
though hopefully if they were lovers, Jeter would let A-Rod play his natural position.
Leopold Bloom - October 31, 2009
"Jeter into the hole...."
Eew.
Nico - October 31, 2009
...turns, plants, fires...!"
danmerqury - October 31, 2009
"sprays one the other way!"
Nico - October 31, 2009
YOU CAAAAAAAAN PUT IT ON THE BOAAAAAAAARD, YESSS!
danmerqury - October 31, 2009
This is the inning Phillies....listen to me now
BERRYJO - October 31, 2009
bummer
They appear to be
deafhearing impaired.doctorK - October 31, 2009
or something......when will they learn??
BERRYJO - October 31, 2009
What the heck was up with the commercial break there in the middle of the inning?
wacchampions - October 31, 2009
I think it caught Joe Buck off guard too.
He hesitated before giving the sponsor information.
danmerqury - October 31, 2009
I think that message is recorded, because there was a sound change...it was very weird..
wacchampions - October 31, 2009
Joe Buck's such an AWESOME guy, I hope he's recovered from the shock of it all.
Leopold Bloom - October 31, 2009
not getting enough revenue with just the normal breaks.
Leopold Bloom - October 31, 2009
They had to make up for the income lost while that Army sargeant vibratoed his way through God Bless America
doctorK - October 31, 2009
that makes me a sad panda.
Leopold Bloom - October 31, 2009
LOL...and yeah Im with the others on this topic..I dont understand why they do that now in the 7th inning...
wacchampions - October 31, 2009
Because it's baseball's halftime?
danmerqury - October 31, 2009
extend the last call for beer, i suspect
cuppingmaster - October 31, 2009
We had a discussion of this the other night - it's all that post 9/11 NYC stuff.
BERRYJO - October 31, 2009
it's all posturing bs.
Leopold Bloom - October 31, 2009
Agreed!!! And you are supposed to sing take me out to the ballgame in the 7th inning!
wacchampions - October 31, 2009
yup.
Leopold Bloom - October 31, 2009
I'm just glad we don't have to see Giuliani's
FD (NY) PD hat.
danmerqury - October 31, 2009
I'm just glad we don't have to see Giuliani
doctorK - October 31, 2009
Giuliani
Didn’t he marry his cousin?
Rated-R Superstar - October 31, 2009
Heh.
Fair point.
danmerqury - October 31, 2009
they wanted to see if we were awake??
BERRYJO - October 31, 2009
wow Swish has a 2B and a HR in this game
acorn, meet blind badger.
emperor nobody - October 31, 2009
badgers eat acorns?
I thought they ate human flesh.
Leopold Bloom - October 31, 2009
Badgers? BADGERS?
We don’t need no stinking BADGERS!
doctorK - October 31, 2009

They have a pretty good record this season.
Rated-R Superstar - October 31, 2009
The Treasure of the Teixeira Utley?
danmerqury - October 31, 2009
Wow, Melky.
Even if you swung at the right height, that ball would’ve hit you in the hands.
danmerqury - October 31, 2009
fuck fuck fuck
cuppingmaster - October 31, 2009
that's about what I said!!
cat ran upstairs!!!
BERRYJO - October 31, 2009
you scared the cat?
Leopold Bloom - October 31, 2009
yelling obscenities at the TV?? Do it frequently during games!!
LOL
BERRYJO - October 31, 2009
my cats run if i sneeze
otherwise they are unfazed. heard the cussing at the TV before.
cuppingmaster - October 31, 2009
he does that too.....don't tell him - but I fake sneeze when he is bugging me.
shhh!
BERRYJO - October 31, 2009
not during non-A's games.
I’ve scared loved ones, particularly the ex-wife, when the A’s were in a critical game. I’m unapproachable if they’re in the playoffs.
Leopold Bloom - October 31, 2009
I love you
I am exactly the same way.
doctorK - October 31, 2009
it's kind of disturbing, like I take it WAY too seriously.

Yep.
Three in Philly, then two back in NY.

It’s a 2-3-2 format, so yes.

Any days off?? or three in a row?
BERRYJO - October 31, 2009
One Day off after Game 4
Hit4TheCycle - October 31, 2009
Day Off
It’ll be on Tuesday, November 3.
Rated-R Superstar - October 31, 2009
TY all
BERRYJO - October 31, 2009
So, if someone is EVER close enough to do anything about it,
I need you all to solemnly swear you’ll pick up a blunt object and strike Joe Buck and/or Tim McCarver repeatedly with it.
Hit Buck first because McCarver will stare at you doing it for the entire time and regale you with stories of some inane connection he’s made between your beating Joe Buck to death and the conversation he had with Yankees manager, Joe Girardi.
Leopold Bloom - October 31, 2009
or His Wonderfulness
BERRYJO - October 31, 2009
I'd prefer bludgeoning Hawk Harrelson more than anyone else.
The worst of the worst, in my opinion.
danmerqury - October 31, 2009
Hawk Harrelson doesn't call the biggest games of the year EVERY year.
Leopold Bloom - October 31, 2009
That's true.
But his home run call is SO much worse than anyone else. I’ll take Berman’s home run call every day for a month over one of Hawk’s.
Hell is Hawk Harrelson doing the home run derby.
danmerqury - October 31, 2009
Well - that was nice.......
Jeter K’s
BERRYJO - October 31, 2009
the yankees can not win, they just can't
OakA'sHoney - October 31, 2009
I shudder to think what will happen if the Yankees win this series
and they put up the omnipresent Supreme Comrade Jeter posters like they do with dictators in third world countries.
emperor nobody - October 31, 2009
AHHHH!!!!
My corneas!!!!
Leopold Bloom - October 31, 2009
ugh take that shit down
cuppingmaster - October 31, 2009
WTF, dude?!
I have half a mind to flag this.
danmerqury - October 31, 2009
all of you AN men are way hotter than him
OakA'sHoney - October 31, 2009
thank you
cuppingmaster - October 31, 2009
he's only smiling
because he’s thinking of A-Rod in the shower… and money.
emperor nobody - October 31, 2009

Leopold Bloom - October 31, 2009
showering in money? or just showering... and money?

There's just no hope for this place
Hit4TheCycle - October 31, 2009
Seriously, is there ANY hope we don't have to listen to these two call every big game for the next twenty years?
Leopold Bloom - October 31, 2009
the fox network is run into the ground by rupert murdoch
or his assets are seized because fox news is found to have ties to saudi arabian terrorists
cuppingmaster - October 31, 2009
....there's hope, then?
Leopold Bloom - October 31, 2009
neither are entirely unlikely
cuppingmaster - October 31, 2009
starting to come down big time now
cuppingmaster - October 31, 2009
Another strickout for Cust, I mean, Howard
doctorK - October 31, 2009
Wow, Buck and McCarver are just fasinated by the fact that at midnight it became Sunday!!
wacchampions - October 31, 2009
I'd like to give them a two-sided piece of tape,
and just watch them examine it with great wonder for several hours.
Nico - October 31, 2009
i'll bet they are really freaked out that it's november in philly but still october in california
OakA'sHoney - October 31, 2009
And that Philadelphia is one hour behind the west coast.
Whooooooaaaa.
danmerqury - October 31, 2009
This would probably make their heads explode
doctorK - October 31, 2009
what is it? infinity?
OakA'sHoney - October 31, 2009
Try this
linky
doctorK - October 31, 2009
That actually made sense.
danmerqury - October 31, 2009
a bra?
OakA'sHoney - October 31, 2009
An electronic bow tie?
wacchampions - October 31, 2009
And this, ladies and gentlemen,
is the difference between ladies and gentlemen.
danmerqury - October 31, 2009
Or guys and gentlemen
Nico - October 31, 2009
Dude, that's making my head explode.
danmerqury - October 31, 2009
so do you do something related to this on a daily basis?
cuppingmaster - October 31, 2009
I have one of these at my work place
There are a two high-speed scanners in this machine whose waveforms, when displayed on an oscilloscope in X-Y mode, make a nice Lissajous pattern.
doctorK - October 31, 2009
sweet, that's awesome man
cuppingmaster - October 31, 2009
what does that do?
OakA'sHoney - October 31, 2009
That is an ion implanter
It is used in semiconductor manufacturing for doping Silicon wafers. To put it simply, these computers we all are using have loads of chips that have been run multiple times through tools like this.
doctorK - October 31, 2009
I KNEW those crackers I bought in Salinas had drugs in them!
Nico - October 31, 2009
Very cool.
I asked, because it looks like a chem lab in there.
danmerqury - October 31, 2009
it is.
drK works in a meth lab.
Leopold Bloom - October 31, 2009
Shhhh
Don’t blow my alternate income source.
doctorK - October 31, 2009
(sry)
It’s an above-the-board computer chip making plant!
Leopold Bloom - October 31, 2009
That machine is at Rochester Institute of Technology
They have a R&D-type wafer fab.
doctorK - October 31, 2009
why do they need to do that?
BERRYJO - October 31, 2009
The scanners sweep the ion beam across the wafer to give it uniform doping
doctorK - October 31, 2009
and after the doping?? hey isnt doping illegal??
BERRYJO - October 31, 2009
Ask Pettite and A-Roid
doctorK - October 31, 2009
Oh, sweet
what field are you in?
danmerqury - October 31, 2009
See above
I work in one of the few remaining wafer fabs in Silicon Valley.
doctorK - October 31, 2009
Oddly, he's a taxidermist.
Nico - October 31, 2009
consider the sources...
doesn’t take much
BERRYJO - October 31, 2009
kay.
Ima gonna go play Batman now.
Leopold Bloom - October 31, 2009
So any chance manuel changes his mind about Lee after this game?
Assuming nothing drastic changes
cuppingmaster - October 31, 2009
You do not walk A-Rod
You hit him. Please try and pay attention.
worldblee - October 31, 2009
Let him gallop to first.
danmerqury - October 31, 2009
According to McCarver
Not having to use their closer tonight is good for the Yankees, since he will be more rested for tomorrow.
doctorK - October 31, 2009
He is a frickin' genius
I hope Girardi is TiVoing this so he can benefit from his wisdom.
worldblee - October 31, 2009
thank you captains obvious!!
BERRYJO - October 31, 2009
You see, at the end of the game, the team that has scored the most runs will be the winner..
wacchampions - October 31, 2009
is that how it works?
OakA'sHoney - October 31, 2009
LOL-ing
BERRYJO - October 31, 2009
So THAT's why the A's had a losing record
Go figure.
worldblee - October 31, 2009
just had the world's smallest batman at my door
OakA'sHoney - October 31, 2009
Did he have a little tiny muscle suit?
I had one of those.
worldblee - October 31, 2009
yes so cute
OakA'sHoney - October 31, 2009
Wow, if you have watched this entire game, you would have never known that the Packers are playing the Vikings tommorow...can they promo it one more time?
wacchampions - October 31, 2009
i'm assuming they'll just cut to the pre-game right after the last pitch
cuppingmaster - October 31, 2009
for you...anything....just wait for it!!! ;-0
BERRYJO - October 31, 2009
Oh god!! There they go with the fascniation about it being after midnight in the East...
wacchampions - October 31, 2009
but they did say it was still halloween out here
OakA'sHoney - October 31, 2009
wait.
It’s still SATURDAY in CA?!
…..Does Joe Buck know this?!
Leopold Bloom - October 31, 2009
wait - in hawaii they just started t-or t
BERRYJO - October 31, 2009
(twilight zone music)
cuppingmaster - October 31, 2009
can i put my jammies on now?
i think those trick or treaters are done
OakA'sHoney - October 31, 2009
it's after 9...yes, they're done.
got put your jammies on.
Leopold Bloom - October 31, 2009
Did you know that on the East Coast it is after midnight...which means that it is now Sunday?
wacchampions - October 31, 2009
wait...
it’s Sunday here….what is it where you are?!
Leopold Bloom - October 31, 2009
So does that mean that I can call you on a Saturday night and you can provide me with the California Lottery numbers before they are drawn in California?
wacchampions - October 31, 2009
wait.....tomorrow's sunday what day is tomorrow where you are?
BERRYJO - October 31, 2009
Tommorow is November here, but it will be one hour earlier..
wacchampions - October 31, 2009
that must mean we have an hour of limbo before we can call it nov!!
BERRYJO - October 31, 2009
MONDAY!
ACK! RUN!
THE SOCK PUPPETS HAVE ALTERED THE SPACE-TIME CONTINUUM!!!!!
Leopold Bloom - October 31, 2009
darn it....they always mess up the STC
BERRYJO - October 31, 2009
they're pure evil, Jo.
Leopold Bloom - October 31, 2009
I will take your word for it!!
Me….I’m a sandal girl – so don’t comport with socks much!
BERRYJO - October 31, 2009
kids are still across the street
OakA'sHoney - October 31, 2009
maybe the treat would be seeing you in your jammies.
Leopold Bloom - October 31, 2009
this is officially an A's game now
teA’se
cuppingmaster - October 31, 2009
Yay!
Leopold Bloom - October 31, 2009
now the next two guys are gonna get on
the next guy will pop out, and ryan sweeney will stare at strike 3
cuppingmaster - October 31, 2009
this feels so familiar....
Leopold Bloom - October 31, 2009
whipped cream!
OakA'sHoney - October 31, 2009
No no. Two guys in a row have to stare at strike 3.
Nico - October 31, 2009
you're right, my bad. how could i be so dumb?
cuppingmaster - October 31, 2009
you're most likely drunk.
Leopold Bloom - October 31, 2009
i wish
this game would be much more entertaining
cuppingmaster - October 31, 2009
actually, I doubt it.
Leopold Bloom - October 31, 2009
Phil Hughes is the most overrated pitcher in mlb.
Total garbage. Gio Gonzalez is going to have a more meaningful career than him.
PL78 - October 31, 2009
Easiest WS save ever
worldblee - October 31, 2009
And yet it pads his postseason save totals.
danmerqury - October 31, 2009
No save.
Didn’t pitch “an inning with no more than a three-run lead,” nor was the tying run on deck when he entered.
NO SAVE FOR YOU!
Nico - October 31, 2009
Good
worldblee - October 31, 2009
Don't need a whole IP.
Just a third.
danmerqury - October 31, 2009
Incorrect. Unless the tying run is at least on deck when you enter,
in a 3-run game you don’t get a save unless you pitch at least the last 1.0 IP.
Nico - October 31, 2009
fuckhappy halloween
OakA'sHoney - October 31, 2009
now that's my kind of holiday
cuppingmaster - October 31, 2009
That's exactly what I said to all 86 trick-or-treaters
Wonder why their parents were pissed at me.
worldblee - October 31, 2009
i was screaming fuck cos yankees won and typing it, then i tries to be nice
and wish you all happy halloween
OakA'sHoney - October 31, 2009
My god!
The best lineup money can buy were DOWN 3-0 in the 4th, Joe Buck?!
What an amazing comeback!
Let’s put in on ESPN Classic RIGHT FUCKING NOW.
Leopold Bloom - October 31, 2009
philliew will rebound, i command it!
OakA'sHoney - October 31, 2009
phillies
OakA'sHoney - October 31, 2009
yawn
in Joe Buck’s narration of the deluxe edition DVD of Yankeeness, the Yankees fell behind 43-0 in this game until Jeter hit 26 home runs and threw out 54 runners at home to seal the thrilling comeback victory.
Then, upon further reviewing the tape, they’ll discover a few A-Rod HRs they thought were foul.
emperor nobody - October 31, 2009
Is Swisher shouting at us?
wacchampions - October 31, 2009
'nite all
Go A’s
doctorK - October 31, 2009
Night
worldblee - October 31, 2009
Nighty Night
BERRYJO - October 31, 2009
Cupcakes tomorrow
Hit4TheCycle - October 31, 2009
the season is on the line
and this is who they want to pitch rather than Cliff Lee?
cuppingmaster - October 31, 2009
They were saying he's never pitched on 3 days rest.....
BERRYJO - October 31, 2009
who cares
what better time to try it than now.
cuppingmaster - October 31, 2009
Yeah - he'll have lots of rest when this is all over. BUT - if he rests.....who might he be matched up with?
BERRYJO - October 31, 2009
if they lose tomorrow this series is just about over
cuppingmaster - October 31, 2009
I am thinking they must win the next two to have the momentum in their favor back in NY
BERRYJO - October 31, 2009
cuppingmaster, see the game recap --
This is all I talk about.
Nico - October 31, 2009
YEah!! I love cupcakes!!
BERRYJO - October 31, 2009
I just ate some cupcakes...
wacchampions - October 31, 2009
joe buck looks like a muppet
beaker?
OakA'sHoney - October 31, 2009
meep meep
cuppingmaster - October 31, 2009
What the hell is this back and forth.....
wacchampions - October 31, 2009
there ya go....one more mention of the games tomorrow...
BERRYJO - October 31, 2009
Yes, thank god, because I had no idea that Favre was going back to Green Bay....
And that was a very awkward exchange between Buck and McCarver at the end…
wacchampions - October 31, 2009
NO kidding.....can;t believe they didn't have something else to talk about!!!
WEAK WEAK WEAK!!
BERRYJO - October 31, 2009
Oh and did you know he was gonna be interviewed by Terry whateverhisnameis???

BERRYJO - October 31, 2009
