The rest of the Umps: "Agreed!"

.....hahaha....Damn, I wish I could type....that's classic!

I bet the conversation did sound something like that.

Man I swear that is exactly how I envisioned it going.

Well, that game last night played out pretty much as I forsaw it, except that A.J managed to keep his focus and not have that one crappy inning. As for Pedro - well, he was Pedro against the Yanks, as usual. He kept them off-balance for the most part, made a couple of mistakes he hasn't the stuff to get away with, and was done after 100 pitches. Hey, that's him - unless he gets squeezed, when he then gives up 5 or 6 runs after 3 innings. Well, nobody got squeezed last night - I swear, that plate was about 22 inches wide, for both sides.

Speaking of both sides, the "double play" in the bottom of the 7th was offset by the "double play" in the top of the 8th, and was a wash. As for the Phillies figuring out Mo, I believe they have - come up, take weak hacks and hope to make contact and get some bleeders, raise their false hopes, then go back to the dugout as losers.

Blueface · 10-31-2009, 10:55 AM

Game 3......8 hours and counting.

MedicCook · 10-31-2009, 11:13 AM

Let's Go Yankees!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The Poet · 10-31-2009, 11:15 AM

Yeah, let's - and let's hope the weather's not too bad.

MedicCook · 10-31-2009, 11:17 AM

Cliff Lee was pushed back to game 5.

The Poet · 10-31-2009, 11:25 AM

I noticed yesterday they were starting Blanton game 4 - against I presume C.C.? Hey, if Andy wins tonight, and the Phils are looking at possibly going down 3-1, will they stick with that plan?

MedicCook · 10-31-2009, 11:29 AM

Cliff Lee has never picthed on 3 days rest and they don't want to experiment in the World Series.

Yeah, OK, but still - jeez.

MedicCook · 10-31-2009, 11:46 AM

He should be ok to pitch game 7 if needed they said since that would be his throw day. I am still saying Yankees in 6 so it will be a non-factor.

yourchoice · 10-31-2009, 11:52 AM

I like that they don't throw their guys on short rest. Never did it last year, although they (the media) were contemplating it in the first series with the Brewers. Pitchers in this era aren't used to it, and most are nowhere near as effective as they are on regular rest. I agree with the decision, regardless of where the series stands. It will be interesting to see how effective Sabathia is with 3 days, assuming he pitches game 4 (is that definite?).

Of course, if there's a 7th game, everyone is available to pitch, but I don't think it will go that long...Phillies will finish the job before then.

The Poet · 10-31-2009, 12:48 PM

Yeah, C.C. was lousy on 3 days rest against the Angels - 8 innings, 5 hits, 1 run, 2 walks, 5 Ks, and 1 win.

Yeah, totally sucked.

Kidding aside, not his best that we have seen but certainly got the job done, and good enough for the win.
If that is C.C. not doing well with three days rest, bring him on!!!

Problem is he won't be playing against the Angels.... Here's his line from last year on 3 days against the Phils in the NLDS:

3 2/3 innings, 6 hits, 5 runs, 5 earned, 4 walks, 5 Ks, 2.727 WHIP and 1 loss.

The Poet · 10-31-2009, 02:01 PM

Yeah, Joel, you're absolutely right - the Yankees just might as well not even show up for the games at all. The Phillies are gods, and the Yanks are slobs.

Well, you say C.C. won't be playing against the Angels, when it seems obvious that your guys have yet to realize they are not playing Tampa Bay either.
