A-Rod’s steroid use has not been made a bigger deal in this post-season. I swear if he wins MVP of this series (god-forbid yanks win) i don’t know what i’ll do.
you could do steroids. After all, the pressure to role model may be overwhelming for you.

because he is a yankee
i guess because he hasn’t dropped off like a lot of other admitted steroid users.
i was wondering the same thing, but chalked it up to him playing for the yankees
That strikeout made me tingly in the good way.

Chase is dangerous. He may be the best all-around talent on the team, but he’s been in a bad funk. Can’t ever count him out.

Dear Chase
I feel like I can call you Chase because you and me are so much alike. I would love to meet you someday. It would be great to have a catch. I know I can’t throw as fast as you, but I think you would be impressed by my speed. I love you hair. You run fast. Did you have a good relationship with your father? Me neither. These are all things we can talk about. And more. I know you have not been getting my letters because I know you would write back if you did. And I hope you write back this time and we get to be good friends. I’m sure our relationship would be a real home run.

Denver… a place where you wouldn’t think a foot of snow would be bad, until you live here and realize that the weather is so schizophrenic that it’ll be in the 70’s in two days.
That, and there’s so many outsiders here that even this Florida kid with a low powered Mazda 3 is one of the better drivers around…
Well, that’s Boulder… which is about an hour NE of here.

ROFL
Gotta love that “You still have LeBron” tag while comparing Lee and Sabathia.
The situation is not remotely comparable. The Cavs can offer LeBron as much money as any other team if not more. If baseball had any kind of salary controls, Sabathia and Lee would still be in Cleveland.
Flinging dung would be about par for the course for Clevelanders. Cleveland. Steamer.

Hey, credit where it’s due: they got it right. I don’t mind if they have to huddle up to figure it out.
finally they huddle
took them the whole postseason….now if umps do that more often, i will say no to expanding replay. it is the umps refusing to confer that wants me to expand replay
Conferring has generally been the SOP for several years now, ever since they busted up the old umpires’ union and league offices, reorganizing ump supervision under Sandy Alderson.
but not in these playoffs
the alcs at least three brutal errors (Swisher didn’t leave bag early, pickoff at 2nd, two men out at third), the twins/yankees game (double)
the bases loaded HBP the Tigers didn't get

yup
but it STILL took more time than it would have if they’d just used instant replay. So much for the whole “instant replay will slow the game down” argument…
as a Phillies fan, it seems to happen about every playoff series. There was one very similar to this in 1980 vs. the Astros.

What on earth is there to freak out about? It was a clear and obvious double play whether it was a flyout or groundout to begin with.
It takes a whole bunch of homerism and willful ignorance to think otherwise.
some umps say if a fielder drops an infield fly on purpose they call the batter out
to cut out cheap double plays.
I have to admit, Jay’s legit in that and many other respects.

When two players appear to be about equal in all-around value, run scoring and run prevention, you have to go with the better defender. A run saved is more valuable than a run scored.
There are diminishing returns with runs scored.
There’s also a cumulative effect to poor defense and pitching that doesn’t apply to poor hitting.
It’s complicated.
I figured that with infielders they have way more defensive chances than ABs.

I think you leave Lee in
he’s working his magic
by CoburnsCuddleBuddy on Oct 28, 2009 10:35 PM EDT up reply actions
and I'm hoping we won't tonight
At this point, this inning is going to be long enough that they’d better score, because Lee will be stiff when it’s over.
i think you still have to trot him out there tho for the 8th
It’s his game right now

Hey Marte, remember when you were on the White Sox and you stunk?
If you could pitch like that again, that would be great.
That ball hit deep! Way back! You can put it on the boooaaaard...YES!
Long drive into deep right center field! This ball is OUTTA HEEERRRREE!

Actually, he’s doing the right thing here. You have a death wish if you leave Marte in to face Jayson Werth.

Apparently Girardi gets a bonus if he uses the entire bullpen in a single game

There’s probably a rule about that.

That's a ball, but further out is a strike?

that one might have been a strike
but a 3-1 count still wouldn’t have been good for him

Flyers aren’t interested in Shanahan, news came out today.
Gagne is already on LTIR or going on this week. Just about 100 percent that he’s getting surgery.

watch the NY / media reaction if Lee goes 9
ya see this proves the phillies arent a good team because Lee was so dominating that the Phillies could use their bullpen…

105 pitches
Think it’s bullpen time in the 9th

I agree with this, esp. since you want Lee to pitch 3 games.

I’m torn on this. If you’re thinking about using him in Game 4, it would be great to get him out now. But it IS the top of the lineup. Then again, it IS a 4-run lead.
by PhillyFriar on Oct 28, 2009 10:59 PM EDT up reply actions
Closer by committee, I think
No need to use Lidge on all three batters
"When you make your final stand

Maybe not to start
But it may be necessary if Lee gets into trouble. If the Phillies get some more runs, they might not want Lee to pitch the 9th.
