Hello? Is this thing on?
I have no illusions that this will be a highly watched game in light of pretty much everything... crappy play, meaninglessness of the proceedings, and a certain football team's big divisional game at the same time.
Use this thread to discuss anything you want.
Roy Halladay is going for his 19th victory, to get to the point. And the Phillies have historically clobbered Mike Pelfrey BIG BIG BIG PELF.
See ya around.

so for those of you who were unaware, the 9 starters came into this game with the folling triple slash career line against Pelfrey in 261 AB’s:
307/411/479
10 HR 2 3B 10 2B, and if it wasn’t for Ibanez 1 BB to 9K’s against Pelf, they qwould have more BB than K’s collectively.

Let’s just say that I’m glad that my headrest on my bed is soft cause I keep hitting my head against it. It’s just been bad… lack of pitching, lack of hitting and just ugly baseball. Salty couldn’t catch Wake’s knuckler at the beginning of the game, so that led to 2 runs on passed balls, Posada homered and it’s just been bad. Basically, bad luck but also just getting hurt by walks and bad bounces.
Hmm. I’m trying to remember where I saw it, but Salty really got hammered on some new measures of catcher defence. Might be another point for it, unless he’s just been catching Wake all year, in which case the data’s tainted.
Yeah, I feel like he’s been catching Wake a lot this year but I went to a few games that Wake started and Varitek started. I haven’t seen these numbers, so I’m just going based off of the top of my head. I’ll try and find these numbers.
Something tells me Mr. Young would not appreciate that much.

Yup.. and the Sox are playing a doubleheader today… so it will be interesting to see what happens tonight…
So if the Rays win and the Sox lose both of today’s games, the Rays (for now) hold the wild card.
Bob.
The Rays are up 1.5 games in the Wild Card, so if the Rays win and Sox lose during the day, then the Sox will be up .5 games. If the Sox lose tonight, then the Rays will be up by .5.
So yes, by .5 games, but someone can double check my math there!
If the Angels win today that will make things even more fun. I’m kind of rooting for a three way tie.

The offense is not looking great without Vick and Andy can’t call plays, but I’m most unimpressed with the defense today. For all the hype it had, it looks like there are holes in the zone galore.
Hunter Pence will not guarantee a WS, but, then, neither does Carlos Beltran.
They’re being too aggressive with the DEs, which opens huge gaps for the run game, so the LBs have too much to watch for.

I think they went all-in for this season in the sense of making a lot of big FA acquisitions, but unlike baseball or hockey, there aren’t prospects that they had to surrender for those FAs, so they’re not mortgaging the future for the present.

Chance are it is and mind you I don’t give Dubee the benefit of he doubt but we just don’t know what Bastardo’s limits are. Fatigue is tricky and seriously complex, there’s not much in the way of statistically significant data to be sure which is why I go with tolerances established by a few years of data. There’s no way he could have maintained his earlier numbers fatigue or no fatigue. This could be a fast and hard regression to the mean as much as it is fatigue.

Cliff Lee's thinking he'll go at least eight tomorrow.
Time’s running out for Bastardo to pull it together.
At this point, I’d go with Worley/Lidge/Blanton with either Stutes or Bastardo and maybe De Fratus, with Madson as closer.
Does this open the door for Savery (lefty) or DeFratus?
Hunter Pence will not guarantee a WS, but, then, neither does Carlos Beltran.
I would need to see more of Savery as well. I know that’s not all the BP spots, but those would be my definites. Go to Worley first if there’s trouble, Lidge if there’s not trouble, throw Blanton in there if need be and then a couple other guys (De Fratus/Savery/Stutes/Bastardo).
I definitely miss Jose Contreras right now.
Throw in Kendrick as well, although I guess he’d only be a long relief/extra innings guy. Add Herndon as well

Lincecum just injured his catcher. Slider bounced in the dirt and whacked him straight in the mask. Looks like it just shook him up a bit, but he’s obviously in a fair bit of pain.

Wow.
Both wild card races will be down to 1 game at best going into the last series of the season. Boston is tied with Tampa and 1 up on LAA with a loss, and 1 and 2 up respectively with a win tonight.
Atlanta plays at Philly
St.Louis is at Houston
Boston travels to Baltimore
Tampa gets the Yanks at home
LAA go to Texas.
If the Red sox blow this, playing the 3rd worst team in the AL, when the Angels and Rays play the 2 best, they should be hung in effigy.
If Atlanta should somehow pull it out, they should be given credit where credit is due.
I’m calling Tampa/Texas NYY/Detroit and St.Louis/Philly Milwaukee/Arizona.

Ha, no way. ASUS used to deal with strictly internal hardware, so they know how to build CPUs and motherboards and such. They just decided to put their own cases around them instead. My computer scientist buddy told me they were almost certainly top 3 in PC brands.

It’s something that needs to be reviewed about NFL cultures. When doctors are team employees they’re going to make decisions that increases the team’s chances of winning, including when it means endangering the players’ health.

Well shit, if we’re not going to let pitchers hit, I say let’s DH for the catcher, too. That position is incredibly notorious for being primarily defensive. Save a few noteworthy players (Gehrig, Berra, Bench, Piazza), how often do you get a catcher with serious offensive capabilities? And it’s an incredibly tiring and dangerous position to play. Catchers do not run well, no surprises there considering how worn out their knees are. And as harmful as it is to throw a baseball at 95 mph, it’s not any less dangerous to have that baseball thrown at you, with the only thing standing between you and the pitcher is a batter with a large wooden stick that might end up fouling the ball into a sensitive area of your body. I don’t care if you’re wearing a mask, you’re still going to get your bell rung by a foul ball off the grill. And how many times do we see batters causing catchers serious injury (yeah, I’m looking at you Scott Cousins). So catchers have to deal with this and try to hit? But pitchers, who are in considerably less danger on the field don’t have to hit? No dice, man.
Point is, you play a position on the field, you pick up a bat.
Ok, I’m finished.
