Open Thread: World Series - Game 6 (cont)

The Phillies look like they have wasted their last chance; Chase chased a ball outside to strike out with two on. The Yankees hang on to a comfortable 7-3 lead, going to the bottom of the seventh.

A thousand apologies...

….it’s been one kind of those nights!

Cindi, is that you?
Yes, it is!
Yay, me too!!!!!

final thread of the seazon
Sad, isn't it?
Silver Lining......we can look forward to the opening AN tailgate

b/c there will be one – right??

yes, from now on it will be the hit or miss with whatever

thread coupled with some “event” that will cause a flurry of posts….interspersed mainly with days and days of inaneness and off-the-wall issues.

So it'll be like the season?
Exactly
and right in my niche with the exciting life i lead.
Okay, you can NEVER replace the lyrics of Juke Box Hero

with DJ Hero. You just can’t.

that should be a Foreign(er) concept
Phils need to rally now. please and thank you.
or, you know, in their half-inning.

it would be cool if they could score when the Yankees were batting, though.

Jeter could score in the Phillies inning.

That’s why he’s a zeroth ballot Hall of Famer.

8th!

and roomy (hopefully not for the last time)

where is LB anyway?
I sent him all my Coldplay CD's

so he’s having a listening party

i can no longer watch
the Yankees are winning AND I spilled my potato leek soup on the floor
did your soup bowl spring a leak?
I've fired my blender
I fired my Barber

$20 is too much for a 90 second job

that's a serious offense...
I want the A's to have one of those
You heard it here first!!

It’s what we’re all asking for at Christmas

smooth baby, real smooth
thanks, i shaved my legs today
that could mean something
This sucks

Yes, I decided to enter a playoff game thread for the first time just to say “this sucks.” That’s all I’ve got.

Your words are few, but well-chosen
Just groove one for him to get the triple
My cat's dental bill turned out to be well over the $550 I was quoted. $950.

no snow tires for november.

Holy hell

I love my cat, but I don’t know that I would do that. You’re a wonderful pet guardian.

9 year companion. ( eye witness to four g/fs, including one DVM in AK)
I usually have to pay to have my eyewitnesses to be uh....moved
well, i am always on the lookout for the woman of my dreams, not screams.
Eww, Posada IBB.
yo
Hey....
Oh. And GO PHILLIES!

Though I don’t know if that’s really gonna do any good at this point.

It'll do the same amount of good that it would have in the first
We're diehards right??? Always hope!
I can't really classify myself as a diehard for any team except for the A's.
Just trying to keep the hope alive.....

I know what you mean tho

You know, I've seen that Trident layers commercial before

but I’ve never really seen it. Um, wow, that’s creepy.

Not as creepy as that hall's one...
thank you
ANY time.....
Oh god, don't remind me.
I knew you'd like that!!
(suck suck suck suck suck suck suck suck)

Oooooh….that’s refreshing.

Is Charlie Manuel ever not chomping on gum?
well, i for one will not witness, live, the collective yankee circle jrk.
Hear hear.

When the last pitch is caught, I’m turning off the TV.

Think happy thoughts. Think happy thoughts.

Remember that Scutaro walk-off foul pole shot? Off of Rivera?

Where's Luis Gonzalez when you need him?
April 15, 2007
Not long ago, but feels sooo long ago.
That it does.

I’d wager that 20 of the 40 men on our roster weren’t around back then.

Actually, make that 30.

I think you're right. Sigh.
a friend of mine is on his way to nyc tonight

guess he’ll get to see the f’in victory parade

I have a friend going to Sing Sing tonight

his parade will be a little different

after all the alcohol that will be consumed i'd say the chances of them being similar....
So this is the first time I'm experiencing the new new new new new new AN.

Does everyone hate it?

aside from a developing a burning-white-blind spot in my peripheral vision, no
I'm kind of missing the green on the sides where the gray is currently
I'm missing any semblance of color at all.

Grey and white are boooooooring.

Except for A's unis.
I can't wait for AN throwback day
Ooh what are we wearing?

Can I go shopping?

I have to get dressed up for it?

I was kinda thinking it would be a day when Blez and the Mods would revert the look back to AN 2.0 or some such.

Back when you could search for new comments by finding [new]

Ah. Nostalgia.

might as well give all the Phillies a blindfold and a cigarette
Can you see me?
They're ramping it up already.....it'd be funny if the Yankees lose it in the 9th!!
What the hell, FOX?

What’s with the Chariots of Fire-esque fanfare?

Has there been a game played where rain WASN'T a factor?
May 16th 1987 in St. Louis
Thanks, preppy bastard. ;)

during THIS World Series, obv.

Sorry, I have no actual facts
That much I knew.
It'll be interesting to see what Manuel has to say about it all.....
Give him a Halls.
Not gonna say a word.......
that didn't quite have home run distance
This really ought to be a commercial for Paxil or Prozac.
This thread? or an actual commercial?
LOL.

I meant the commercial, but whatever works.

The real question of the night

So will the A’s win the division by 20 or 30 games next year?

Are they re-introducing "first division" and "second division"?
might need a third one
This game is *still* going on?

Talk about milking it for all it’s worth

Also

my new sneakers: I love them. woo!

those flashing red lights are cool, aren't they
With the wheels on the bottom and everything!
And velcro.

The coolest.

At least something good happened for someone other than the Yankees
thank goodness

that’s the only reason I’m still here to find out about your shoes

I please to aim
And we so appreciate it, too!
and lettuce soup
That's honestly the only reason I stay here.

To learn more about lettuce soup saga.

Come for the lettuce soup saga

stay for the stats based breakdown of VORP

vorp this
UZR'u!
WAR!

Huh.

what is it good for
Absolutely NOTHING!!!
I'm going to write a book on the philosphy of baseball stats called

“Hell is UZR people”.

I’ve made this joke before, I think, but I’m determined that it’s funny

I actually like it.
It's a little esoteric, sure

and it relies on pronouncing UZR as ‘uzzer’.

But stilll.

It's not so much the pronunciation

But it’s fairly easy to visually place UZR in the sentence as “other”, especially in the context.

Third time's the charm.
hahah, I got paid, so I've moved onto pricier vegetables. Besides which, the season has passed, so it's not growing out back any more

I had a cheese and endive salad for dinner tonight, since you were wondering

there was some gorgeous kale at the farmer's market last week

i had too many veggies already but this sunday it’s on my shopping list

I love curly kale a *lot*
I bought some cardoons last weekend

I love the stuff, but I need to work up the energy to cook it in the next day or two.

ooo endive...fancy

 did you use velveeta for the cheese?

I'm not a vegan
do vegan's eat velveeta?

I thought only people without the sense of taste did

isn't it faux cheese?

I misunderstood, sorry

it's actually a engine cleaner
I really need to unsubscribe from the MLB twitter feed. It's so obnoxious.
JETER TAKES FEELD LOLING WITH AROD. LOLOL @PHILLEEZ
Wondering how Jason Giambi is feeling right about now.
he's at a strip club right now in Vegas
I sure hope he's in the audience.
I nearly spat my water on my laptop
actually his manboobs are very popular with the crowd
So is his...golden attire.
wealthy
We have a winner!
But but but... it's not the money.
It never is when you have plenty of it.
I wouldn't know :-(
I was just thinking about that! LOL!
Yankees suck!!!

Just thought I’d drop in and say hi..

Thanks.....we needed that Yankees Suck one more time

and just in time for His Wonderfulness to get a BH

Hey.

And yes…they do.

Sigh.

oh another jeter display of fantasticness
He's almost as good as me
i can't believe what we didn't want to happen is actually going to happen
that happens most Sunday's in the Fall for me
usually about a 50/50 chance
Ah, that's why I'm still here.

Matt freakin’ Stairs.

I don;t GET it WHY?????
Hit It UpStairs Matt...or what did that old banner say?
somethin' like that
Not this time
Or any other time during the series.....
Get yer remote controls ready.
Sad to say - I think you are right.....
I'm hoping Ozzie loses his shit and runs off with the trophey
poised for CLICK
Already have it off

Just have Gameday on. No Fox announcers or Yankee fans to listen to.

So when does ROY get announced??
Did you vote for Bailey on MLB.com?
That's for the MLB.com awards,

not the official ROY.

Nope....but I can!
YANKEES WIN!!!

Sorry, wanted to be the first.

Premature exasperation.
Yeah, but it felt good
Somebody... please put Tim McCarver out of my misery
Some guy on the radio today said I bought a ticket for the game so he didn;t have to listen to them on TV

I busted UP!

LOL! Worth the price.
"and a wild walk"

what’s that? Like Lou Reed said?

hey sugar....take a walk on the wild side.....
OH JUST DROP IT, NICK
well gang, it's been real
On a happy note, this wine is hella good.
Not far enough, Jimmy.
hmmm the Yankees might win this thing
my cable info screen say's "Everybody Hates Chris" is on now....replace chris with...
Hello everyone.

This game sucks balls.

HI EQC....haven't seen you for a bit.

sorry it has to be on THIS occasion!

Been busy and rather uninterested in this series as a whole.

And darn, skanks just won.

there have been some good games in this playoff season....

but hate the outcome of course.

back-to-vack-to-back-to-back HRs... let's go
Someone tell Dave Roberts to steal 2B.
Hey Dave, steal 2b
3b while you're at it
Heck...steal home!
Sucks to be the guy who makes the last out.
At least it's not the slegnA
True....
or the Broncos
To each his own. I was rooting for LAA over NYY, personally
But I'm trying to look on the bright side here
click. and see you all shortly, like in 15 mins, for the start of the Hot Toast season.
gad, what a nice Ladd
oh, fudgebuckets
Shane!

Pa’s got things for you to do! And Mother wants you. I know she does.

gad, what a nice Ladd
Well that happened
Yankees suck!!!

Just thought I’d drop in and say hi..

Oops

Sorry reposted that again

The more times, the better.
NNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!
Well, it's nice for Swisher anyhow
Yeah, that is cool
And Chad 'Clutch' Gaudin!
I'll give you that.....he's the only one I can be happy about
I guess I'm a jerk

because I could care less

No - we all have our guys we root for even if they are Ex-A's
Yeah I was never much of a Swisher fan I guess

I love swish! I went to 16 Yankees games this season to sit in the RF bleechers just to cheer for him!(except when the played the A’s)

What goes thru his mind...

…you just hit a grounder… you’re running to 1B KNOWING you’re going to be the last losing out for the WS.

Dinner, coming back up
I have thoroughly enjoyed these times with AN

til the next thread jumps off {hugs}

hm, America's top model, you seem appealing all of a sudden
Nice to see a small market team finally win
yan-kees (still) suck! yan-kees still suck
Oh, and the obligatory Queen over the PA - retire that song already
That was my cue to hit the power button.

Blech.

Fat bottom girls?
You're My Best Friends wouldn't be a bad choice.

And it’s not ridiculously cliched like We Are The Champions is.

The only cure for this is the BBC series Shameless

Which I’m watching right now. La la la la la la didn’t hear who won the game la la la la

Is that on bbc america?
Watching on DVD

If it was on BBC America, they’d have to censor all but about 2 minutes per episode.

I was gonna say, ha
Channel 4's series.
Yeah, you are correct
Well at least that's over with.
Peace AN. Wake me when spring training starts.
Will you be there??
Hopefully.

There’s not much better in life than watching baseball in the sun and drinking beer.

I'm thinking about it.....hope to see you there.

depends on the weekend!

You're bound to catch ANers no matter when you go, methinks.

I don’t know how it will shake out for me.

I'm not sure I've ever seen Mariano Rivera's teeth before
Congrats to the Yankees.

Shame Pedro was terrible today.

boo! no more baseball until march
At least no more Joe Buck for a while
YEAH!!! That is a blessing!
Doesn't he do NFL broadcasts?
yep he does the big game on FOX each week
Or rather he does the Cowboys game on Fox each week. :P
or Brett Favre's game
I'll be sure to avoid him!
ie, not the 49ers or Raaaiders
No the Raiders haven't been in a big game since 1984
Well, hey, it's been fun, you guys.

Here’s to April 5, 2010!

Here here! See you
wait, you're going to my sister's birthday party?

oh wait, baseball.

Right.

You stay away from her, yhear?

I'll be sure to cook up a big pot of lettuce soup for her.
She lives in Spain

Vegetarian ingredients there include such noted vegetables as ‘chicken’, ‘ham’, and ‘fish’

Best team money could buy.

Good for Swisher. Bad for Giambi.

I'll say this. At times like this,

I’m especially glad NOT to be a Yankees fan.

“Yay. We should have won and we did.” That’s not something to celebrate — it’s a time to go “Phew, we didn’t blow that one.” Small market muppetry for me, thanks.

Yay! we've won our 27th title

and we’ve had to wait 9 whole years!

I believe it was Jon Heyman who mentioned

that Mike Mussina was with the Yankees from 2001-2008.

Ouch.

there are pills, non rx, you can take to enlarge your market.
Ask your doctork
Well since Nico said earlier that AN shuts down until April

I guess we’ll see you guys next year

"We're sorry.

AN is now closed. Please try this comment again in April. Thank you."

Hello? Hello? It's not working. Damn.
GUYS. UPSIDE OF THIS SERIES

NOW WE CAN LOOK AT 2010 MORE.

G'night folks

Time to move into link-dumping mode for a few months.

mmm link-dumping
link-dumping

better than just dumping since 2003

ok everyone, stay warm this winter, happy holidays
Yankees and Lakers win championships in the same year.

Vomit time.

Night everyone.

Bye 2009 season, you sucked anyway.

Nighty Night
okay Tex, "he" led you there, and led Two-Buck Chuck elsewhere.
Who, Boras?
You're not punishing yourself with the postgame show are you?
Dragging out the 2009 season

A few more agonizing moments

It's hard to give it up, huh?
It sucks, but you know when you turn the TV off, baseball's over.
There are times when you're glad that baseball's over.

For me, this is one.

Five months to go
yes, i briefly fled, but came back to the flame.
Who won?
haha you're funny!

At least they didn’t give MVP to His Wonderfulness

I miss Mark Ellis.

There, I said it.

Me tooo - I love that guy!
The World Series trophy sucks.
No the trophy is OK....I just don't like the guys holding it!!
It's boring.
I think we should have a design-a-trophy contest then....

you can make it better!

if I handled it, I would need to wear my raquette ball goggles to not poke my eyes
