I think they figure that lunchtime is already busy enough and they'd get slammed and hurt their core business. I bet from 2-5, they're dead and so, this would be a nice way to spike business at that time and maybe people grab a drink or something when they're there.

Still reading the rest of the thread, but my favorite was:

"That was right down the middle" followed by the overhead showing the pitch being just outside.

DaddyTorgo · 10-25-2007, 07:20 PM

that's one fucking sexy ballpark. I want to make sweet sweet love to it.

DaddyTorgo · 10-25-2007, 07:32 PM

could be schill's last start at Fenway

joe buck: "i think they ought to be able to hit curt schilling here tonight."

fuck you joe buck

Young Drachma · 10-25-2007, 07:35 PM

Hopefully, they rock him like you want to rock that ballpark.

Young Drachma · 10-25-2007, 07:39 PM

Get up on him early.

Young Drachma · 10-25-2007, 07:42 PM

And that's why he's the manager and you're not, McCarver.

SirFozzie · 10-25-2007, 07:43 PM

Props to the runner. that was a heads up play.

Young Drachma · 10-25-2007, 07:56 PM

I'm giddy with anticipation to hear what sort of ridiculousness they'll say about Denver when they get there.

Young Drachma · 10-25-2007, 08:01 PM

Mile High Stadium. They blew that up, Tim.

Big Fo · 10-25-2007, 08:13 PM

Dude, this is Fox. Packing the broadcast with graphics and sound effects > your silly facts.

I wish there were an alternate broadcast "EPL FanZone" style where you had a fan of each team arguing throughout the broadcast, it'd be far better than McCarver and Buck.

Hahahaha...that'd be too awesome.

Young Drachma · 10-25-2007, 08:17 PM

Especially if it were some huge Red Sox apologist from western Mass who had a heavy accent and some Rockies fan trying to understand what the DH is.

Young Drachma · 10-25-2007, 09:14 PM

"He can strike like a cobra in a basket."

SirFozzie · 10-25-2007, 09:20 PM

Sheesh, that's like 5 straight pitchers who wasn't able to go five innings against the Sox. You kinda saw it coming, the pitcher was getting wilder, and the Sox don't swing at many bad pitches.

SirFozzie · 10-25-2007, 09:32 PM

Dola: Huge out there. Damnit.

At least Schill is pitching awesome

Big Fo · 10-25-2007, 09:36 PM

Ugh, how many times are they gonna keep mentioning these fucking tacos?

Young Drachma · 10-25-2007, 09:37 PM

lol. I put it on mute.

Sublime 2 · 10-25-2007, 09:47 PM

Shit! Tim just gave up Okee's biggest secret!

SirFozzie · 10-25-2007, 09:51 PM

Those were some nasty pitches there.

Real Men don't own women with Dragon Tattoos and always get chilli on your lapdogs. Got it.

(can I say I've seen that commercial one too many times?) ;D

DaddyTorgo · 10-25-2007, 09:51 PM

oki's fucking nailz

Crapshoot · 10-25-2007, 10:15 PM

Did that idiot just say "White Sox" in the world series?

No No - a guy from Southie. Has to be a guy from Southie.

Young Drachma · 10-25-2007, 10:16 PM

This World Series is so boring that they have to talk about football.

WHAT THE FUCK HAPPENED TO THE 4TH BOY TO MAN?!!?!!?!

You know, the one who was more boy than man.

Young Drachma · 10-25-2007, 10:21 PM

He was the one with the cane. He eventually stopped being able to travel, because whatever issue he had, was causing him issues.

Young Drachma · 10-25-2007, 10:22 PM

Poor boy.

DaddyTorgo · 10-25-2007, 10:28 PM

is there a boyz II men boston-connection?

thought they were all philly-guys?

wade moore · 10-25-2007, 10:29 PM

I had no idea those guys were still singing.

They didn't appear to still be singing well mind you, but singing nonetheless.

Young Drachma · 10-25-2007, 10:33 PM

They are from Philly. But last night, Ashanti sang and I know she's got no Boston connection. I started to make a snark comment about how, the declining numbers of blacks in baseball, forced MLB to compensate by having black singers sing God Bless America, the irony of which on a number of levels just made me laugh.

But thought the better of it.

Until now, of course.

Young Drachma · 10-25-2007, 10:40 PM

I wonder how well the city will support the Rockies if it takes them another 30 years to get back to the World Series. Or 86.

SirFozzie · 10-25-2007, 10:43 PM

Okajima is huge.

Crapshoot · 10-25-2007, 10:45 PM

You know, Papelbon is "mayday Malone" come to life. You can't not like the guy.

DaddyTorgo · 10-25-2007, 10:46 PM

HAHAAH!!!!

PAPS JUST PICKED OFF HOLIDAY!!!

wade moore · 10-25-2007, 10:47 PM

Wow, that was a clutch, very nice, pickoff.

SirFozzie · 10-25-2007, 10:47 PM

Ouch. Apparently the Rockies heard you could run on Paps, and that he could run at will..

Whoops.

Crapshoot · 10-25-2007, 10:47 PM

Wow - how do you get picked off there? I feel bad for Holliday, but that was a huge mental blunder.

sterlingice · 10-25-2007, 10:47 PM

Bad move on Holiday's part, leaning the other way. But a great pickoff for a righty.

SI

Young Drachma · 10-25-2007, 10:49 PM

SirFozzie · 10-25-2007, 10:50 PM

1st Pickoff in the Major Leagues for Paps

Deattribution · 10-25-2007, 10:50 PM

Looks like that's not all he got caught picking.

SirFozzie · 10-25-2007, 10:53 PM

Ugh. Not sure about the call (He looked to still be in the batters box).. but why the hell is he bunting in that situation.

edit: Just out of curiosity, how would you score that in a scorebook? Bunt Out?

SirFozzie · 10-25-2007, 11:10 PM

2-1 win, 2-0 lead.

Schilling, very good, Okajima, Awesome, Papelbon, HUGE.

Crapshoot · 10-25-2007, 11:10 PM

You know, P-bon's fastball at this point - that's Riviera-esque. Just stunning.

Crapshoot · 10-25-2007, 11:11 PM

I'd reverse that - Okajima pitched 2 1/3 innings at a time when it was vital, without a hit. Great performance.

Young Drachma · 10-25-2007, 11:11 PM

I wonder what Dan O'Dowd did to make G-d angry between the NLCS and now.

For context:

'You look at some of the moves we made and didn't make,' general manager Dan O'Dowd said in the only interview he has given on the subject, long before the Rockies' remarkable ascension over the past few weeks. 'You look at some of the games we're winning. Those aren't just a coincidence. God has definitely had a hand in this.'

That'll be an awesome press conference.
