Rockies are up 3-0 with the bases loaded. Cole Hamels just walked home a run in the top of the 2nd with 2 outs.

Anyone attempting to watch this online via TBS' Hotcorner? It's eminently unwatchable. It's a mosaic of 4 screens, one of which is two "hosts" yapping and taking emails from fans while the game is going on. Of course, the audio used for all 4 screens is the two hosts waxing poetic on Joe from Bayonne's email.

I'm still confused as to why baseball thought showing playoff games on TBS was a good idea.

Looks like we've got a ballgame on our hands.

The Phillies crowd doesn't seem to realize that this is a playoff game. Reminds me of Braves playoff crowds.

LOL....fans with front row seats leaving in a 2 run game in the bottom of the 9th. WTF? All it takes is a bloop and a blast, people.

One of the rare times that Bucc and I agree on something. I'm rooting hardest for the Rockies, though. Moved to Denver just in time for their first season, and I've been to way more of their games than I have Astros games (though none in the last eight years or so...only player left is Helton).

Never really paid attention to just how good tonight's pitching matchup is at Fenway. Not only do we have the seeming CY Young favorite versus the AL ERA leader, we also have the 2003 World Series MVP against one of only two pitchers in baseball history to start and win a WS Game Seven as a rookie.
Of course, Lackey has looked a bit shakey so far. Go Halos! |

Phantom tag at 2nd there on Lugo.
Lackey looking shaky as always at Fenway, but only given up 1 run thru 2. |

Papi curls one around the pole. 3-0 Sox. 2nd half .600 OPS Youkilis is gone it appears, replaced with 1st half .900 OPS Youkilis. And Lackey's career #'s at Fenway - 1-4 (7 GS), 7.46 ERA, 35IP, 59H, 7HR, 25Ks, 12BB, 1.032 OPSa |

Was a hell of a matchup. If you think everyone thinks Sabathia is the favorite, you must be watching completely different media than I am (not saying I agree, just repeating what I hear). |

I just wanted to take this moment to applaud Scioscia's move last week to sit his regulars and play backups for the last week of the season, instead of his regulars, removing all chance the Angels would avoid starting the Divisional Series in Fenway, against a team that plays them like they play the Yankees, and which is dominant at home. Way to go, Mike!

No, he was definitely safe. I was just saying that his quick tag fooled me into thinking he got him, even though it turned out to be an ole! |

I'm glad Steve Stone gets some national games. Always one of my favorites

Agreed. There is no place I would rather start a five game series less than at Fenway playing the Red Sox, especially as the Angels. What Scioscia did would be kinda like Torre saying last week, "Hey, let's totally tank it and be sure to go to Angel Stadium next week!" Makes no sense at all. It would make more sense for the Chargers to want to go back to play the Pats in New England than for the Angels want to play the Red Sox in Fenway. I was annoyed as heck last week with his decision, and now I'm pretty pissed. And trust me, I love Mike Scioscia as much as any straight man can love another man he has never met in a nonsexual manner. |

I thought he was safe, too. Weird call there by the umps. BTW, I know it counts just the same, but I feel sorta shorted when I see a big bomber like Ortiz get a chintzy dinger into the corner with the claustrophobically close right field foul pole. I mean, if we're going to get beat by Ortiz, I want the guy to kill the ball, none of that wimpy stuff. That was a Chone Figgins homerun. Last edited by Chief Rum : 10-03-2007 at 06:59 PM. |

Be honest though, that was far enough back that would have been a homer in about 25 ballparks..

Nope, without the absurd stuck in corner, that would have been a fairly long foul ball in just about every other ballpark. Strangely enough, one ballpark with a similar corner and which probably would have had that be a homerun is...Angel Stadium. Last edited by Chief Rum : 10-03-2007 at 07:09 PM. |

Guess we don't have to wait for CB to be behind the plate for hitters to start complaining about strikes.... Manny's looked to be one, but the call on Youk seemed low and outside.

Wow. I'm loving the announcers and studio guys (particularly Ripken.) ++ compared to Fox.

Ok, so what about these "gamebreaks" or whatever they are calling them? It's kindof like they are trying to make it feel like football with a halftime studio show or something. But I kindof like it.

It is better than the same commercials over and over. I like the format of playing the games back to back to back.

UCLA side note. That flat buns commercial is on here (is that being shown nationally? do they show the same commercial, but for Hardee's east of Colorado?).
All that said--if you get the chance to look up pictures of UCLA super frosh Kevin Love, I think he looks a lot like the guy on the right in those flat buns commercials. |
