The cure for what ails the Yankee offense? Pitchers hitting obviously.
Whatever.
Comments
i’ll take ape titt for $400, alex
If ever there was a night for soul eating, this would be it.
Need runs. Want runs.
Go centaur!
I’m carding trick or treaters. Over 15, get lost. No costume, hit the road.
As MC would say..” Get offa my lawn!!”
Chance of percip about 50% throughout evening
Hey Dave. Be sure to bring the shark fin out witcha.
Thurm-LD tried that, didn’t work out so well. I’m not home, left candy by my front door and mailman already hit me up for some as I was leaving.
stupid Girardi, putting Pettitte in the lineup.
I’m fine with Pettitte in the lineup, but he should not be batting ninth. He should be batting third or fourth, since he’s a better hitter than Bust-eira or World Series-Fraud.
I attended the last World Series game on Halloween. That was a treat.
Bop- I didn’t see that one. Not working for LD ehh… LD and I are different people, I project menace a wee bit better than he.
Arod = Chiron.
These kids are getting dropped off singly, in front of the house in Acuras, Benzos and Lexi. What happened to running the streets with your pals?
LD refused to give candy to two teenagers who toilet papered his house. One of the teenager’s father earlier had scolded LD for whistling Wagner which a Jew should not. More complications ensued. A winner.
but i thought chiron was supposed to be the nicest and most honorable of the centaurs. a-rod is pan
[16] He is also superior to all other Centaurs.
i nyc we just went up and down an apt building or two. a quick and convenient way to make some serious loot. except the hag in 4E always left a bowl of pennies outside her door.
I was thinking we’d bring back “K-Rod” since he’s on pace for 93 strikeouts over the next 3 games.
pan would be horny enough to mingle with madonna.
[15] Do you remember what season?
Ahh, Pennywise the Hag. I may have dated her.
you going to the game tomorrow?
So… an opinion on the weather?
I agree with the -100 percent win probability. After all, Yankees are not in DNYS, and as Rollins said, Phillies have figured out Rivera. Plus the Phillies are not intimidated, as John Kruk told us. We all know Yankees won the ALDS and ALCS because their opponents were intimidated.
The centaur thing is seriously one of the funniest things I have heard. So appropriate for Halloween. Maybe A-Rod wanted to see how being like Curt Schilling for rest of the four days felt.
And bebop, LD was awesome in that one.
21: season 3 I think
[14] Do they have pillow cases?
Thurm, the sharkfin’s in the bag. Good luck tonight, folks.
Local TV in Philly showed the tarp being put on the field (live) about 7:25.
Sorry E. Logged out while cookin’ Aye I’m going. Suck potential is quite high.
[26] Thanks Bopper. No HBO that year. I’ll rent the season someday.
[28] You go lad!! We’ll take care of the runs.
Is it wrong that I think of the Old Spice centaur dude? “I’m two things, laydeez—a man…..and a clutch hitter!”
No laptop at home tonight, so no game thread for me. Go Yanks!
lets see how long this delay will be.
so SICK of the rain
Just got in. Any word on whether or not this is going to be a lengthy delay?
The whole ‘Neigh-Rod’ thing is fucking hilarious. It makes me forget about the rain delay.
Fox just said it’s not raining at the moment, they’ve been told there will be a game, but they’re expecting another shower shortly. Radar shows a series of bands passing through. If they’re waiting until the next one passes, I’m guessing a good 30 minutes, and we’ll see on-and-off showers through the night. IANAW.
Mo this postseason: 0.71 ERA
Everyone else in the bullpen: 5.68 ERA
Great, they’re arranging the game for exactly the time when parents of young children on the West Coast go trick-or-treating.
[27] Some did J. I missed your query.
why don’t they get the Star Spangled Banner out of the way now and skip the ceremonial first pitch or have it thrown on the sidelines?
Sigh. Another day passes without the arrival of my limitted edition Derek Jeter commemorative half dollar and the bonus Mark Teixeira quarter that I bought in order to pull out that win over LAALAPALOOSA.
Every time I go the mailbox I expect Scott Farkas and his toadie Grover Dill to be waiting for me. UNCLE !
[40] The rain has scared away most of the kids in our neighborhood. We are going to be left with *A LOT* of candy.
I wonder why they don’t ask Ozzie Guillen about his problems with Swisher last year?
44* they left the bleep button in nyc
This sucks.
Nice.. Family Guy.
Oh, I’ve been duped.. it’s Cleveland.
He he. Talking pigs ! That’s funny.
College football chat until baseball starts?
Unlikely since no one in the NE watches college football?
Unlikely since no one in the NE watches college football?
Flipping between ND/WshSt and USC/OR right now. Throwing in a little SC/Tenn too.
Ducks driving on the Trojans. Go Ducks ! I guess.
48- My guests are watching the Denise in a wheelchair Curb. I’m inching towards my car. Need me some Jimi.
Yay Timmy and Buckface are back.
I’m impartial on Ducks/Trojans, but a win by OK St tonight would be huge for Iowa.
[54] I’m a transplant, so I really don’t care. But I’m rooting for the small market Ducks against USC and all their big money television deals and…oh.
This show sucks.
College Football SPOILER ALERT!~!
ND killing WSU and Oregon looking like they will push USC to the brink, for those looking to kill time til the rain stops.
Change the smoke detector batts fellers. Saves lives.
Games starts 11pm ends 3am? Ain’t post season BB grand?
+1 to #55
UPDATE, 8:50 p.m.: With Tenth Avenue Freeze Out playing throughout the stadium, the tarp is being pulled off the field-from Lohud-is this for real?
[61] tarp is off the field. The postseason.tv feed is non-stop.
Emily Deschanel is kinda hot.
Now there a a whole bunch of people walking across the outfield in a line.
Color Guard is out too.
I don’t like Christie or Corzine or Bloomberg or Thompson. I’ve been getting so many robo election calls since before the primary that I have my machine on perpetually.
61:I prefer Zooey
I think Ozzie picked the Phillies? Or maybe the Yankees, I am not sure.
What does the radar say?
NYC got its games in.
Should have concentrated its rain in the hours immediately after 4 innings of game 1 were complete.
Is this some sort of childhood obesity benefit concert?
Cast members of Glee sing the national anthem-now that should stir the most cynical heart or Fox execs.
This don’t seem like a good rendition of the Anthem. Fox sucks. Is Glee good?
[73] IDK, I don’t like it all that much, the singing performances are pretty uneven and poorly integrated at times. Comedy is OK to good. A lot of people really like it.
I think we’d better win tonite’s game, since the Giants are going to lose to the Eagles tomorrow.
Is it me, or does Buck’s tone of voice sound like he’d really rather be doing something else ?
Havent watched Glee. Seems like they are trying to rip off Freaks & Geeks. I would rather just rewatch that than invest in Glee.
Pin, Buck did say in a radio interview a while back that he is more interested in watching Dancing with the Stars with his wife than watching baseball. Seriously, he said that.
[77] I recall Buck saying that he doesn’t watch baseball when he was on Bob Costas’s HBO show. I guess that’s why he doesn’t know anything about the players in the WS each year. I’m shocked, though, that he would say that. It’d be like the analysts on political shows say “Sorry, I haven’t really been paying attention to this stuff lately.”
Lake WOEBegone
Hamels won’t suddenly dominate the Yankees, right?
[77] Totally believable.
The only way Mrs. Pin would get me to watch DWTS would involve an ether rag and a roll of duck tape.
I totally missed out on Freaks and Geeks.
Why is Jeter still bunting?!
Oh really? Uh, ok.
WOE!
(I kid, I kid…)
Come on blue, call a good game. Letters to knees.
This umpire has a terrible strike zone. Giving very high strikes.
*NOT* a foul ball.
speaking of baseball and TV, It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia just featured a World Series themed episode.
I feel like its been deja vu back to June vs Florida and Washington
I’m hoping Hamels doesn’t keep up this strike-to-ball rate.
Sleeping giant… awake.
Congrats to Cole on his first career perfect game.
Those Fox Halloween things are lame.
Rube Hamell.
That was really inspiring, Yanks. I look forward to sheer Hamels dominance for 8 more innings.
This is a terrible strike zone. We will see what Pettitte gets.
No pitch trax or whatever from Fox yet.
Is it to early to congratulate Hamels on his two hit shutout?
Gameday doesn’t hate this ump’s strikezone.
Do you think that MLB may have told the home plate ump that the heavy rain is coming after Midnight, so have a healthy strike zone, and keep the game moving ?
Oh, one of those games.
Christy Hamuelson. Long balls. We done Larry.
