GameThread: 2009 Division Series Day 2

Rockies @ Phillies - 2:37 EDT (Phillies lead 1-0)
The Rocks and Phils get the early game again today, and Philadelphia isn't happy about it. Sorry about that guys, guess you should have drawn an opponent in a better market.
The Phillies triumphed in game 1 with Cliff Lee going the distance and allowing just one run on 6 hits. They'll try to go up 2 games to none tonight with Cole Hamels on the mound vs. Aaron Cook.
Cardinals @ Dodgers - 6:07 EDT (LA leads 1-0)
St. Louis ace Chris Carpenter was no match for Matt Kemp and the Dodgers as the Cards fell to the Dodgers 5-3. Randy Wolf got out of an early jam and held on for the win, and Flat Breezy shut 'em down for 0.2 innings.
Tonight Adam Wainwright gets the ball as the Cards try to tie the series 1-1. He'll face off against Clayton Kershaw. Should we take bets on how many times Albert Pujols gets IBB'd?
The Angels will try to change their ways against the Red Sox as they meet in the playoffs for the 5th time. They have just a 4-13 record against the Red Sox in postseason and have never won a series.
Jon Lester and John Lackey are the starting pitchers tonight. The Angels won the season series 5-4.

"Well, I believe in the soul, the cock, the pussy, the small of a woman's back, the hanging curve ball, high fiber, good scotch, that the novels of Susan Sontag are self-indulgent, overrated crap."
It is?
I can see it fine on my monitor. I’ll see what I can do.

what the hell?
I’m having all sorts of trouble with this. Does everyone else see miles of space at the top and the bottom?

Yes.
"Well, I believe in the soul, the cock, the pussy, the small of a woman's back, the hanging curve ball, high fiber, good scotch, that the novels of Susan Sontag are self-indulgent, overrated crap."
Yeah I'm super confused
There’s nothing in the edit field that indicates there would be all that space and it’s not showing up on IE…..

SUCCESS!
I had tables in there before when it was getting cut off and I guess some of the code didn’t end up totally erased, but since 95% of the time I use WYSIWYG I didn’t see it. Sigh.

Bizarre
It looks fine on IE but jacked up on Firefox. I don’t know how to fix it. If anyone else has Firefox can they tell me if it looks weird to them? If not I guess maybe I messed up my browser somehow.

it's rocktober!
for some reason, i like saying this phrase.
"Well, I believe in the soul, the cock, the pussy, the small of a woman's back, the hanging curve ball, high fiber, good scotch, that the novels of Susan Sontag are self-indulgent, overrated crap."
It's cuz
WE LOVE TO ROCK!
ROCKTOBER!
and I have no idea where I was going with that one…
In reality I think that it’s cuz feveryone loves the word rock. Put it with anything, rock lobster, rocktober, rock of love (well it still sounds good…in theory). Hell if there was a product called rock and cheese people would buy it just cuz it sounds so awesome
For reasons I can't figure out...
CBP looks beautiful on an October afternoon.
Ray Rice is so agile. He's a whole new breed for agile you need a new word to describe his agility... UBER-AGILITY!

Its an excellent stadium
Wish i could have gotten tickets to a game, unfortunately im stuck watching it in class.
at least you're watching it in class
my laptop battery died and i had to sit thru an entire psych class without anything to keep me occupied
The postseason tv is annoying though
In order to get around blackouts they can only give the raw camera feeds, and i cant really find one I like.
yea true
but thats better than nothing. psych is already fake science. without my laptop, it was boring fake science
Thats true
And i’m the only one with an mlb.tv account, so the whole row behind me is watching my screen
college these days....
Some Day, Matt Wieters Will Make The Cooperstown Crowd Laugh By Talking About The Time He Batted Behind Melvin Mora And Luke Scott. -Keith Law via Matt Wieters Facts
that much better
shouldn’t you be paying attention or something? you’re payin a lot for those classes
hahahaha
we had an open note section of an exam once last spring (rare for engineering) and i had the caps playoff game open the whole time
Also
anybody know why flat breezy didn’t finish his inning? He had only thrown 8 pitches so at first i thought he might have gotten injured
They didn't want him to face Pujols
So they went to Broxton early. I was bummed I wanted to see them face offf.

I'm rooting for Tony Romo
to have a horrible season and the Cowboys to lose 10 games.
Don't let the sunshine fool ya. - Townes Van Zandt
Just 10?
I’m rooting for them to lose out, personally.

Gotta go with the Dodgers
Because of George Sherrill and also Matt Kemp who I adore.
Some Day, Matt Wieters Will Make The Cooperstown Crowd Laugh By Talking About The Time He Batted Behind Melvin Mora And Luke Scott. -Keith Law via Matt Wieters Facts
Kemp's a Midwest City (OKC Suburb) boy. Would love to see him with the Os sometime.
Don't let the sunshine fool ya. - Townes Van Zandt
Yeah...i probably misspoke...it's not really a suburb
but more part of the metro area.
but you realize it’s in Oklahoma CITY. Creativity doesn’t appear to be a concern.
Don't let the sunshine fool ya. - Townes Van Zandt
OK...I learned something so I'll share...
Midwest Air Depot was the name of the air force base that is currently Tinker AFB. Midwest City was created on speculation that the base would be installed. Thus Midwest City. Thanks wikipedia.

Hell of a game going on in LA
Some Day, Matt Wieters Will Make The Cooperstown Crowd Laugh By Talking About The Time He Batted Behind Melvin Mora And Luke Scott. -Keith Law via Matt Wieters Facts
Ah, playoff time. So many teams to loathe, and so much time to do it!
The Yerkees, the PHNSawx, the BaggyDomeBandits, the Ph*ckedUpPhillies— can you imagine rooting for a team from that city?— the entire NPL…Yes, this is truly the time of year when you come to appreciate the Venezuelan Central League and NCAA football.
We’ll be back one year, of course. In the meantime: Yerks beat Bags, LA beats PHN (finally) and over in the NPL, several groups of losers battle it out for the honor of losing the WS, in which none of them belongs— but one has to play, by statute. Shame, too.
Go O’s! Er, real soon!

Nah, I didn’t buy playoff tickets this year. I did the past two years but the stupid Angels got swept before I got a chance to use them.
