Open Thread - World Series Game 2

As_kings_cal_tiny by louismg on Comment 417 comments

In the ALCS, the Tampa Bay Rays dropped game 1 to the Red Sox, 2-0. In the second contest, the team's offense woke up, winning 9-8 in the first volley of what was eventually a 7-game series victory. After last night's close contest that saw the Rays vanquished 3-2 by the Phillies, they are looking again for the same Game Two magic. Taking the mound for the Rays will be James Shields, who sported a 14-8 record and 3.56 ERA, as well as a 4:1 strikeout/walk ratio in the regular season. He will be opposed by the Phils' Brett Myers, who was inconsistent in the 2008 campaign, muddling through to a 10-13 record and 4.55 ERA.

Game time is 5:29 Pacific Time. Try not to fill up the thread before first pitch.

And he gave me some type of medicene that is actually starting to work, so I’m happy! I just get to sit and do what I want for a week, hopefully without pain!

I had heard that the Backstreet Boys were supposed to sing one of the anthems in Tampa, so when I first turned the TV tonight it was in the middle of the anthem and I was like “… is that them?! Daaamn, dudes are hurtin!”

Zito, Harden, Chavez, Duke, Street, Ellis, Swish, Kendall, Haren, Kotsay, Frank, Payton, Blanton, Calero, Bradley, and Crosby. I only wanted a few of them… not sure what to do with the rest.

I think I’m gonna keep Harden and Ellis… I have one friend who will want Croz and another who will want Street… and I may keep Chavez.

That leaves Zito, Haren, Swish, Calero, Duke, Kendall, Frank, Payton (hahahaha), Blanton, Bradley and Kots.
