I don't suppose there's any chance of seeing anything as satisfying as dor-K's Big Fail last night, and the announcing promises to be awful as usual, but it is still playoff baseball ...
A certain event just may intervene with my Internet/computer access today, so if this thread starts getting too long, someone please open up another one.

I'll have the first game on while "working" at home
(note to self: better get that work done before the game starts).
A “non-baseball related condition” (dinner with non-baseball fans) may keep me away from the Cubs-Dodgers game until perhaps the later innings…but that’s life.
Here’s a story some of you may enjoy (Nico?):
Just got off the phone with family back home in the Caribbean. Seems they are all talking about when a hundred years ago a woman was refused entrance to a Cubs game because she was accompanied by a goat. So the woman cursed the Cubs…..
Even my mom (who doesn’t really follow baseball) was telling me about “la maldición de la cabra” (the curse of the goat). Baseball fan that I am, this was the first I’d heard of this.

here's another version of the curse of the goat
supposedly uttered by a bar owner in 1945 when ushers refused entry to his goat (who had a ticket) during the 1945 World Series.
At least twice since then the Cubs have brought a goat on the field in an attempt to break the curse, to no avail.

What bugs me most about that play
Giambi was pretty obviously safe. It’s considered one of the greatest plays in the history of the baseball playoffs (even though Jeter was where he was supposed to be anyway), but Giambi’s foot was on the plate before he was tagged. If any player other than Jeter had made that play, it would be considered one of the most controversial botched calls in playoff history.
by thejd44 on Oct 4, 2008 10:38 AM PDT up reply actions 0 recs
I agree
Except for one thing: Jeremy was not tagged at all. The catcher missed the tag. Still, I swear to god, I still wake up screaming “SLIDE, JEREMY, SLIDE!!!” once or twice a week.

by IowaA'sFan on Oct 4, 2008 10:47 AM PDT up reply actions 0 recs
You're right, he might have been missed
Even if he were tagged, it was after he scored the run.
I didn’t even root for the A’s at the time, but I remember seeing the play and being furious. Not so much because the call was missed, that happens. But at the time nobody acknowledged that it was a bad call.

My friend that is a Yankee's fan has a picture of this moment
and from the angle he definitely got tagged, but before I get bashed, Jeremy’s foot was obviously already on home.
by thesteve9x on Oct 4, 2008 11:20 AM PDT up reply actions 0 recs
It's possible.
But in my memory, the tag was missed. Therefore, all evidence to the contrary, I say it was missed. Hah! Take that, proof!

My favorite part of these playoffs
It has completely and totally destroyed the notion of “momentum” with respect to the regular season (and how a team finishes/when they clinch) having anything AT ALL to do with how they fare in the playoffs. What do I mean?
The Angels and Cubs clinched well before the end of the year. They’re 0-2. Similarly, the Phillies and Dodgers only clinched at the end and they’re 2-0. That seems to imply that teams get too relaxed when they clinch early, right? Well, the Rays and Red Sox essentially had playoff spots locked up a couple weeks before the season ended and they’re also 2-0. Seems like not having much in the way of meaningful games didn’t hurt them. And, of course, the White Sox and Brewers, two teams that had to get hot (especially the White Sox) in the last weekend of the season, are 0-2. So much for all that “momentum” built up.
The two games each team has played is enough (barring small sample size concerns, but if you look back other series in other years will support this) to disprove the silly idea of game-to-game momentum, especially some sort of momentum carrying over from the regular season into the playoffs.
by thejd44 on Oct 4, 2008 10:37 AM PDT reply actions 0 recs
What are you talking about?!
You mean players’/teams’ performances are not dictated by intangibles such as emotions, feelings, and desires? You mean it may have absolutely no effect on their overall performance? Are you trying to tell me that momentum and team chemistry don’t actually definitively produce results?
ESPN tells me that momentum DOES exist. They’re the worldwide leader in sports, dammit! Also, that one guy who did the TBS broadcast last night for the Angels said that you can only be a good closer if you have the right attitude/personality for it. That’s why easy-going Brad Ziegler royally sucked at being a closer and badass Todd Jones is awesome at it.

We won't? Hope you're right.
My latest fantasy has us buying the left side of the Dodgers’ infield: Blake and Furcal. Two FA the A’s can afford, allowing Chavez to protect his shoulder by shifting to 1B most of the time, for something like:
Buck – LF
Furcal – SS
Cust – DH
Chavez – 1B
Blake – 3B
Sweeney – RF
Suzuki – C
Gonzalez – CF
Ellis -2B
Only one big HR threat (Cust) but up and down the lineup you have multiple 20 HR threats, and multiple 12-15 HR threats. Not bad?

I'd be open to giving Furcal a 3-4 year deal
He’s already back healthy and looking fine, and it’s hard to imagine how he wouldn’t be an upgrade, in ages 31-34, over other options the A’s will have within their own system or on the future FA market. Why trade a lot of young talent to acquire someone a little better if you can nail down your SS for the next 3-4 years through this year’s market? He’s also a candidate to shift over to 2B as he gets older and the A’s may have a need there in the near future.

Bad managing, IMO
Manuel’s decision to pinch hit for Moyer doesn’t look great either, as there wasn’t that terrific a rally brewing, Stairs is now used, and Condrey gave up a run in the 5th.

Moyer was at 90 pitches.
and Phillies bullpen hadn’t been used much in previous game.
Suppan pitches tomorrow for the Crew, and Bush was at 70 pitches. And he’d been pretty much lights out.

Reminds me of a story:
My roommate and I were going to head to the grocery store after jump-starting my car (the battery had died because ice had frozen open one of the doors—or at least that was my theory). We got it started, but two blocks down the road, my car died at a stoplight, so we pushed it into the gas station and called another friend for help. I ended up buying a new battery, and eventually we did make it to the grocery store. By the time we got back to our apartment, it was 3 or 4 hours later, and the rest of our roommates thought we had gotten kidnapped or something.
Long story short: you could go to Cedar Rapids and call it a trip to the store; you just have to add in some car trouble.

Question - which rule specifically covers
the notion of runner interference creating an automatic DP? I looked it up and the rules about interference all seem to address “runner out for interference, ball dead, no other runners advance,” but in this instance the runner (Victorino) caused the batter to be out automatically (and other runners to return to their respective bases), and I can’t find where this is actually addressed.

Another Dick Stockton gem:
“There’s a good bunt!…” Good, other than the fact that it was bad, thus causing Theriot to be thrown out easily? I swear Stockton just has a list of “things I should say that sound knowledgeable” that he refers to independent of the actual game. The guys on the PHI-MIL telecast were solid, though, I thought.

Does working 12 hours on a Saturday and locking your keys in your car after you get home equate to a bad day? How about a recent sports equivalent?
I am taking donations in the form of food and beer while I wait for the locksmith to arrive.

P.S. My leg fucking hurts, and did I mention I am starving?
P.S.S. Monkeyball just put everything into perspective for me. Many congrats!
