Open Thread: World Series Game 5 - Rays @ Phillies
by Taj Adib on Oct 27, 2008 5:13 PM PDT
Email
PrintThe Phillies find themselves at home with a 3-1 series lead, with their best pitcher on the mound and a chance to secure their first World Series title since 1980. The weather forecast is calling for a chance of light rain, with winds and temperatures in the mid-40s. This is all adds up to some of the most favorable homefield conditions the Phillies can ever expect.
It's Hamels versus Kazmir...will it be the Phillies vanquishing the young upstarts? Or will it be the start of an epic comeback from the young guns, who will attempt to bring the series back to Tampa for at least one more game? Who knows...but that's why we watch the games...

Don't worry, I'll bring it back soon
Just needed a change of scenery for a little while….
There's no crying in baseball!
GO RAYS!!!
I don’t want to go into baseball withdraw yet!!!!
Awww… Unicorn's optimistic. And a cheeseball. That’s cute. ~Whiteshoes40
I still believe in the Rays
But they have a long LONG way to go in this series. Pena and Longo need to step it up BIG time.
Crawford looked safe to me, but he shouldn't have hesitated.

HI!!! BOTH OF YOU!!!
I don’t know why I’m so excited… I feel HORRIBLE!!! I just came down with the FLU!!! Be glad that this is virtual…. be VERY glad…
Awww… Unicorn's optimistic. And a cheeseball. That’s cute. ~Whiteshoes40
Sorry. I'm not doing so well either.
I started feeling ill yesterday and it hasn’t gotten better today. I blame you.
39 remarkable innings.
oh, and sorry you're not feeling better.

I'm leaving in an hour. I want the Rays to be kicking some ass by then.
If I don't comment on your comment how will you know you are completely wrong? -Rocktopus
The strike zone is a little inconsistent to start tonight
He called that ball 4, but called one in the same spot strike 2 earlier in the at-bat.
I'm not sure I can watch 1st inning runs by the Phils. Let me know when the innings over
Proud mommy of "mini-kapers"
yuck. was hoping the runs hadn't scored and Kaz was just taking a while
Proud mommy of "mini-kapers"
Alright, the carnage is temporarily over.
"God doesn't pay attention to your cute little hypotheticals." -- Jeff from LL
now that I know the phils scored, I may as well watch
but that’s almost a decent cushion for Hamels.
Proud mommy of "mini-kapers"
I almost feel like throwing Kazmir out there
is like throwing up a white flag. I mean his starts all start out like this.
Kazmir = FAIL
He’s becoming their Zito: The “#1 guy” in theory who is their #4 guy in fact.
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
National Anthem...
…(kinda late) John Oates did the best rendition I’ve seen in a long time.
"If I've got baggage, he's got a whole set of Louis Vuitton." ~ Milton Bradley on Barry Bonds
Hamels' pitch count is at 9.
"God doesn't pay attention to your cute little hypotheticals." -- Jeff from LL
Let me get this straight:
You’re a 30+ HR guy and no one is playing defense on the left side of the infield so…you drag a bunt? Is this what the Black Sox scandal World Series looked like?
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
Desperate times call for desperate measures
Pena is struggling horribly, but I also think that this is no way to get out of a slump. The Rays are showing their weaknesses right now, and I don’t like it.
I have no problem with him bunting if he wants
But then bunt it to the left side for God’s sake! (Or my sake.)
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
If he bunts to the left side you're giving him your sake?
What are you gonna drink then?
"And Julio Franco is batting right-handed!" -- Wayne Hagin, A's radio play-by-play, mid-80s
Maybe he remembered that he's actually Carlos Pena
and not whoever was inhibiting his body for the past 2 seasons?
Did you hear that? a 13+ ERA in the 1st inning for Kazmir
Maybe he should just skip the first and come out in the second
Proud mommy of "mini-kapers"
Like have someone else start
Sort of like an closer, but we’ll call it an opener. I bet it’d help Kazmir greatly.
It's because the Rays
are merely shadows of their former selves.
"God doesn't pay attention to your cute little hypotheticals." -- Jeff from LL
No, it's been raining off and on here tonight
"And Julio Franco is batting right-handed!" -- Wayne Hagin, A's radio play-by-play, mid-80s
then how come the thread's so slow?
Awww… Unicorn's optimistic. And a cheeseball. That’s cute. ~Whiteshoes40
meaning, everybody's given up hope and left.
Awww… Unicorn's optimistic. And a cheeseball. That’s cute. ~Whiteshoes40
No, I'm actually rooting for the Phillies
but if the Rays win I’ll be okay since it means more baseball!

praying for rain at this point... lots of rain in the next couple of outs.

they’re in an NL park tonight… hit Hamels’ fingers and ice him out there on first.

Your welcome!
I ordered mine two weeks ago I think, or whatever day it was when Jennifer got hers. I’m expecting it by the end of this week.
Tad wet there, no?
Do we get to see Bud do a Bowie and wear no rain gear to show how great the weather is?
Where is Bud, btw? Haven’t seen him in an age?
by GreenNGoldSooner on Oct 27, 2008 6:41 PM PDT reply actions
Did he give up on the play-offs after Milwaukee got knocked out?
I haven’t seen him at all this post-season.
Well, you will definitely see Bud
if the Phils have the lead after the top of the 5th is completed and then there’s a rain delay. There is zero chance of a rain-shortened game handing the Phils the trophy. They’ll have a 13 hour rain delay and resume it at 11 a.m. if that’s what needs to be done.
How about a tie in the series due to rain?
Or maybe let the winner host the All-Star Game?

Does anyone have a pitch count for Kazmir?
"And Julio Franco is batting right-handed!" -- Wayne Hagin, A's radio play-by-play, mid-80s
Hamels cold and wet...
will be interesting to see how he pitches the top of the 5th (if the rain doesn’t interfere)
"optimism 1 pessimism 0" ~Dirk
I really like that he is still on base
Even though Kazmir is basically cashed, it’s a good thing cause Hamels will be tired and cold. The first couple batters next inning need to capitalize on this fact.
David Price was in the bullpen wearing a hoodie, running back and forth to warm up
We’ll know he’s getting serious when he starts hitting the side of beef they have hanging out there.
"And Julio Franco is batting right-handed!" -- Wayne Hagin, A's radio play-by-play, mid-80s
It's not rebar...
…but you don’t want to get Howard mad at you when he’s in the on-deck circle!

two out and no one on vs. man at third, one out.
That’s pretty shameful.

They'd either give the Phillies a rain-shortened win (highly unlikely)
since their up by a run in the bottom of the 5th, or pick the game up another time.

Wow, Kazmir was really getting squeezed.
Actually, there have been a ton of bad calls so far this series. Lots of blatant mistakes, too.
Quick question,
Why does the umpire get to determine the strike zone? I never understood that

In search of a new signature. Say something funny and you may see your comment here!
That would slow down the game considerably
but make the game more democratic, and as an American I love democracy. Now will there be a popular vote that means nothing? And also an electoral college that decides it all anyway? Oh sorry, this isn’t politics.

quick question but not a quick answer
has to do with the early days of the game, and the evolution of the Umpire’s responsibilities… but, officially, he doesn’t establish the strike zone.

Even though Kazmir had strike 3 twice there
I would have pulled him last inning. I said this to my roomy an inning ago that Kazmir is ready to light the fuse and implode.

If an infielder can camp under it for a "routine play" -
Ironically, he can be in the outfield and the “infield fly rule” can still be invoked.

What if Ruiz had hit a pop up in the 9th inning of Game 3 that Zobrist had camped under?
Technically, Zobrist was still the RF. Would it have been in infield fly?

I thought I wouldn't care either, but I'm a little sad so I guess I do.
either that or I’m caught up in the hype about hearing the cowbells one more time

Anyone heard of a RAIN DELAY!?!?!?
"I know they're the defending World Champs, but they are the whiniest team in baseball" -Rays announcers
by baseballgirl on Oct 27, 2008 7:29 PM PDT up reply actions
What really needs to happen here
is a Rays solo home run. Tie game, suspend it, send everybody home, resume at a convenient time tomorrow. No need to phony up a 14-hour rain delay (or alternately, hand the victory to Philadelphia).
I just realized why I hate Victorino
and my reason is really stupid.
My buddy is married to this awful lady, and at the company softball games, wifey flirts all over this guy who looks like Victorino.
See, I now realize that’s not really Victorino’s fault…
Hahahaahahahaaha....that's really funny
Don’t know why, but hilarious

We'll examine why I used to call Mike Piazza "Mike p-FAT-za"
I still haven’t come to terms with the feelings behind that one.
Don't try to do this all at once
You need time to process all of this.

OK Pena, knock one out right here.

Actually this a great time to steal, the pitcher needs to throw the ball,
then the catcher need needs to catch and throw accurately and quickly a very wet ball

worth the risk
odds are stronger that the ball goes into the outfielder

These guys are tough
But to absorb the shock of a baseball actually going into you somehow…that’d be a lot to take, even if you’re a “gamer.”
This would be a good game for Wade Boggs, wouldn't it?
