If Rally Crede begins to smoke, get away immediately. Seek shelter and cover head.

Have I become invisible?

I was trying to get through for my dad...actually got through with 2 tickets for Game 2, but they were in the far corner of the upper deck and that's the 1 place he said he didn't want them, so I released mine back into the pool. Man I wish I was in that city...I'd have taken those seats so fast....

QUOTE(Rowand44 @ Oct 17, 2005 -> 10:08 PM) See....this is why you don't use bullpens. Actually I'd say this is why in some cases, it's better to serve up a meatball to a guy and let him see if he can hit it than it is to walk a guy.

Astros take a 1-0 lead on a 2 out single by Biggio. Going to the 3rd.

2nd and 3rd, 0 outs for the Stros int he 2nd. Now 1 gone, pitcher coming up.

Both pitchers got 2 men on in the first inning and pitched around it. 0-0 in the 2nd.

Carpenter versus Pettitte...with the Cards' backs against the wall. Currently bottom 1...Cards put the first 2 on in the top of the first but couldn't score. Stros have Biggio on 2nd, Berkman on first, 1 out.

QUOTE(CubsSuck1 @ Oct 17, 2005 -> 05:31 PM) Way back when, baseball was played in Old Soldier Field... Yeah, before the alien space ship landed in it.

If you're the Braves...letting him out of there in any way, shape, or form would be the worst idea in the long, sad history of bad ideas. It'd be smarter of them to send their entire pitching staff to Iraq for a vacation than to let Mazzone go.

Ah, that video strikes me as yet another of the things that could be easily explained by simple openness in govenrment.

QUOTE(kapkomet @ Oct 17, 2005 -> 04:27 PM) is this safe for lab or work environments? It appears to be...merely what some would term a conspiracy theory.

QUOTE(TheBigHurt @ Oct 17, 2005 -> 04:02 PM) Actually it's quite the opposite. People don't realize how important sleep IS. But don't get me wrong, if it wasn't a school night, I likely would've been out there. I somehow got really tired around midnight last night and had to miss some of the post game show :headshake And BTW.... I'm IN college. Then man, you need to jump up your course load. If you're still used to normal sleep....sad. Of course, I'm out here at Caltech, where half the undergrads consider heavy sleep to run from something like 5 a.m. until 11 a.m. on a weekday, so my perspective might be a bit skewed.

QUOTE(Antonio Osuna @ Oct 17, 2005 -> 04:16 PM) Am I the only one here that likes the blue seats? I liked the Blue last time I was there. I haven't seen the green in person or completely installed, so I don't know how that'll look when finished. Overall though...I'm more than willing to sacrifice some seats in order to make the place better. Did you guys like sitting up in the top? Hell, my dad still tells horror stories of his first game up there.

QUOTE(Antonio Osuna @ Oct 17, 2005 -> 04:15 PM) Damn. Let's just hope Gammons picks the NL Champ to win it all. He will...if you check the right spot. He'll pick one team online and the other on TV.

Man Nuke...2 posts back and you couldn't find it. Hehehehe

QUOTE(TheBigHurt @ Oct 17, 2005 -> 03:45 PM) I live a f***ing block away from Midway, but I had school this morning, I couldn't possibly have gotten by with such little sleep Son...at some point...probably when you get to college...you'll realize how unimportant sleep actually is.

QUOTE(SpringfieldFan @ Oct 17, 2005 -> 03:19 PM) I think the Sox very well can become THE Chicago team. However, I don't think a championship will be what does it, and it won't be Ozzie, Paulie, or a 300 win career from Brandon McCarthy. The force behind it will be Sox ownership/marketing and Brooks Boyer in particular. The change has been happening for at least a few years now. They aren't catering specifically to the fans of today, but they are laying claim to the next generation right now. Fundamentals, Southpaw, kids days, family atmosphere, charities, and even Brooks' generosity to parents of newborns (potential lifeling Sox fans) is building the foundation. It is a good thing, a very good thing... The Marketing of the Angels has been one of the keys for their fan base's expansion into the LA Market in the past few years, but it's not the biggest key. The biggest key is that they're doing all that wonderful marketing work, and they've got a perennial playoff team to market. They're one of the best run organizations in baseball. You know that they're improving on their team every year. They're going to give the pennant a run every year. When they lose people to FA, they spend money and hire others, or they bring up some young stud prospect and get the city fired up on him whether or not he performs. You can do a lot with marketing, but there's a limit to what marketing can do with a .500 club.

WGN also has a video clip of the airport arrival...I'm virtually certain you can see Ozzie and Freddy leaving in a large white limo.

At some point, it is worth thinking about Podsednik's trade value...it almost has to have increased this season...going from being a .240 hitter to a .290 hitter int he leadoff hole, being an all star, being traded for Carlos Lee and having his name repeated ad nauseum with regards to that trade... At some point...we can get a lot of value out of Pods if we have talent coming up the pipe to replace him.

QUOTE(Jordan4life_2005 @ Oct 17, 2005 -> 01:54 PM) I think PK and Crede should've been co mvp's. I don't know how you could pick one over the other. Honestly, and we all know this by the way, the real MVP in the ALCS is named Josemarkfredjon. We just have even more trouble splitting it up 4 ways.

Hopefully someone can convince Hawk to drop by with Rooney and Farmio for a couple innings at some point in the next 2 games.

This is how you start off an article.

It's currently raining and hailing in Los Angeles.
