Open Thread: World Series Game 3: Rays at Phillies
by Nico on Oct 25, 2008 5:07 PM PDT
285 comments
Just to keep folks updated, Game Three of the World Series will be delayed by rain at the start but the prevailing sentiment is that the rain is letting up, the field drains well, the powers that bud would rather start later than be interrupted in the middle, and they expect to play baseball tonight in Philadelphia - but not starting on time.
So in true AN fashion, please start commenting, beginning with baseball and then transitioning gradually (or suddenly) into a strange mish-mash of discourse including - but not limited to - unicorns, porn, corn, scorned unicorns eating corn in porn, and possibly Bjorn Borg.
The Starting Lineups for when we start:
Iwamura - 2B
Upton - CF
Peña - 1B
Longoria - 3B
Crawford - LF
Navarro - C
Gross - RF
Bartlett - SS
Garza - P
Rollins - SS
Werth - RF
Utley - 2B
Howard - 1B
Burrell - LF
Victorino - CF
Feliz - 3B
Ruiz - C
Moyer - P
UPDATE (6:25pm PDT): First pitch is scheduled for around 7:00pm PDT. It is believed that Jamie Moyer will be able to stay awake late enough to still make the start.

This delay is killing me.
I was hoping to get in most of the game before I am expected elsewhere.
39 remarkable innings.

I can't stick around, either.
I broke my laptop. Virus. :(
I’m having separation anxiety. And I’m stuck using the ol’ desktop without a telly around to see the game action.
But he came back. And there was much rejoicing.

Interesting how Gross gets the start over Baldelli
against a LHP. I would assume maybe Baldelli isn’t physically up to it, but following an off-day you’d think he’d be ready to go. Maybe not, though.

Yeah, that comes up every time the A's have a rain delay
Which fortunately is not that often.
Seriously…Bud was mentioning that they’re looking at cutting a few of the off days out of postseason next year. Under the current schedule the World Series will start on Wed. 10-28-2009 and Game 7 would be on Thu. 11-5-2009. My guess is that they will knock three off days out of the Division Series and LCS periods, so that the World Series would start on Sun. 10-25. They would play Sun./Mon., take Tue. off, play Wed./Thu./Fri., take Sat. off and play Games 6 and 7 on Sun. and Mon., 11-1 and 11-2. This would allow Fox and TBS to avoid the ratings death period of Saturday night on two consecutive Saturdays (10-24, the day before the World Series would start, and 10-31, the off day between Games 5 and 6). Bud has been emphatic about NOT playing day games during the World Series.

However:
The cabin holds 12 passengers and two crew members, and tickets start at $495 per person for an one-hour ride.
$495 for one hour? Maybe if the other 11 passengers are A’s players, and if by one hour they mean one week…

After the first out they showed a replay of Garza finishing his warm-ups, taking off his cap, looking down at the brim
and reading (sorta reciting) what must have been written there. I’m guessing that’s what he wrote.

One of the worst things about the Vet was that the Astroturf was so bleached that it could be hard to see the ball against it. Also, it was like a giant, cement toilet bowl.

After Stade Olympique, the Vet was probably the most unpleasant ballpark...

Both featured that bleached-out Astroturf.
In Montreal, you were also far, far away from the field. And the stadium was utterly empty.
I used to go to the Vet with Met-fan friends of mine for Mets-Phillies games. At least there was a lot of fan excitment (if not a lot of good behavior) at those games!

When you're 40, you fell old
especially if you have kids — and Moyer evidently has 7.

I like Cindi. A. She never pretends to know more than she does. B. She has unbridled enthusiasm for her "Hotties," and isn't afraid to show it. -IM4Oakgal

That, by the way, was a homerun
Until the wind got involved. :-(

"Wait until the 6th to throw a fastball low and in to Utley, and to hang a curve to Howard"
That’s a lot to write on the bottom of your cap’s brim, but I suppose Garza has good penmanship.

I am hoping we see the Meatball Blanton tomorrow
Since this is looking like 2-1 Philly in the series.
I am confident in Blanton sucking tomorrow. I sure hope he does, big time.
