PrintOnly one game today, with PHI-COL snowed out. The Dodgers try to sweep the Cardinals in St. Louis, with Joel Pineiro throwing for STL and Vicente Padilla throwing for the Dodgers (or is it "at the Cardinals"?).

what's the over / under on Padilla getting thrown out
4 innings? more? less?
Doing home improvement projects
So far, I’ve completed the shopping for the projects, and spread a mess of stuff all over the floor. Then I discovered that the cordless drill is out of power and has the wrong-size bit in it, so I decided to sit down and watch some baseball while I gathered strength before going to search for the power cord and the drill bits.

I've seen probably seen ten games in St. Louis over the years and I have to say
Cardinal fans are as good as their reputation is. It’s a great baseball town and the new stadium is nice.
2010 road trip!

actually, a friend and I are seriously considering a Bay Area - Chicago - St Louis baseball trip next year
Poss with a Kane County game mixed in, too, depending on timing
Do it
I’ve taken three baseball stadiums tours and they were all fun. The east coast trip to Boston and New York is great as well.
I’m glad I got to see the old Yankee stadium and I got to see Tigers Stadium before it closed on another trip.
Yeah, I don't need much of an excuse to go out to Chicago; I have some pretty good friends there
It’s mostly a matter of cash, to be honest
It's a matter of cash in that, right now, I have none
good deals or no
Well, this is the year to do it, as the A's have back to back Cubs - Cards series
Hopefully in six months I’ll be better placed, financially. It’s not a decision that needs to be made today
There are some great parks in the Midwest
you have to go to Wrigley at least once and Kauffman Stadium in Kansas City is a real gem of a stadium.
Cubs and Cardinals series are back to back!

Boy a snowed out game on October 10th
another reason besides the Broncos being there to not want to live in Denver.
I'm mixing this game in with mexico - el salvador
One of these game sounds like all hell has broken loose, and one does not.
I'm rooting against Vincente Padilla personally, but for the Dodgers.

I'm pulling for the Cardinals
great fans and I still love Tony La Russa and besides 1988 did happen so the Dodgers are on my list of hate forever.
I wanna see Matt Holliday drop the ball and 10 runs score
can this be arranged?
Hey, I just bought the team from Lew Wolff... who wants to play third?

I’m going with a 34-7 win for the Giants. I don’t know how we’re going to score a touchdown, but I think we will find the end zone for the second time in four games.

I’ll have some great friends and food though tomorrow so at least I won’t suffer alone or in hunger.
I had never left a game early before..until the Denver game two weeks ago..I just couldnt take it anymore..

that was not playoff-caliber defense
Hey, I just bought the team from Lew Wolff... who wants to play third?
So, it's Mexico 1-0 El Salvador at half time
Mexico look decent with the ball, but loose at the back.
And there appears to be a plague of bees at one end. Seriously.
Is the game at Azteca?
"And Julio Franco is batting right-handed!" -- Wayne Hagin, A's radio play-by-play, mid-80s
Yes
Though, Mexico are not putting in what you’d call a dominating performance.
On the other hand, they’re doing what they need to do, so maybe that’ll be enough.
I keep waiting for them to break through in the World Cup, but on this evidence, 2010 isn’t going to be their year, either

I won't count the Red Sox out until they're really out as they've comeback before
but the Angels are in a great spot that’s for sure.
pitching-wise
it’s hard not to look at the Halos and see a ring sliding onto a finger, painful as it is to say that.
All is well though, friends, for the time is soon when we are watching Brett Anderson and Trevor Cahill pitch in October, maybe as soon as a year from right now.

the Dodgers might not have the starting, but the have the ‘pen. I’ll take either Sherill or Broxton over Fuentes

but we must respect the more-than-worthy adversary in this case, the Halos look primed to take the title IMO, sad as it is for us in these parts to say such a thing.

You know,
I’m not even a Raiders fan, but the tuck rule game pissed me off in the moment, pisses me off today and will probably piss me off the rest of my life. The Raiders got jobbed that game.

here was ESPN's take
In truth, the Patriots were a little lucky. OK, a lot. Referee Walt Coleman authored, on many levels, the play of the game.
When blitzing cornerback Charles Woodson blindsided Brady, karate-chopping the ball to the ground, and linebacker Greg Biekert recovered at the Raiders’ 47-yard-line with 1:43 left, the game appeared to be over — with the Raiders ahead 13-10. But the Patriots had one last chance thanks to instant replay and, after reviewing the play in which Brady appeared to pull the ball down and then fumble, Coleman inexplicably ruled it an incomplete pass.
“It was obvious,” a terse Raiders head coach Jon Gruden said. "I thought it was a fumble, but the officials thought otherwise.
“You can never count on anything in the NFL. Say what you want, (Brady) made some great plays when he had to.”
Well, what about it? Was it a fumble or an incomplete pass?
“Uh…,” Brady said when questioned. “You know, he hit me. I wasn’t sure. Yeah, I was throwing the ball. How do you like that? Damn right. Damn right.”

And Gruden left that off-season
and despite making it to the Super Bowl the next year ( I can’t remember what happened in that game) the Raiders have gone straight to hell in the following years.
And you can make the case that that one blown call changed the course of history in the NFL...
Who knows what woul dhave happened, but the Raiders would have been in the Superbowl…and you just dont know what would have happened with that patriots team..they may never have gone on to dominate the following years, they may have made some moves and broke up the team or made some chnages that they didnt make becuase they made it to the superbowl…Just a lot of things that happened because of one blown call!!

Shouldn’t underestimate either of those two teams, mind
i don’t think so…. i can’t tell how up-to-date the standings chart i’m looking at is. 4 teams go direct, the 5th plays off, the 6th stays home. brazil, chile, paraguay have q’d. argentina is 4th right now, ecuador 5, uruguay 7. what bobnothing meant is that 2 go through to the next round, but 1 of those goes to the mini playoff round and the other is just in the WC.

Some might mention that England were very lucky that

If we’re honest, though, and the picture bears this out, I feel – Peter Shilton mistimes his leap for the ball. There’s no way that Maradona, hand or no hand, should get to that ball first.
You mean because he makes David Eckstein look like Manute Bol?

Ok, I love baseball
But I really don’t like 3pm starts; it really makes you feel like you’ve been watching the game for too long It’s light outside when it starts, and dusk when it finishes. Not good.
last chance for the Cards

Done and done.
Ok, I don’t want the Angels to win of course, but and LA/LA series would be fun.

At least Giants fans will be unhappy!

One of my cousins in SF
grew up in St Louis and is a huge Cards fan.
Her husband is a huge Giants fan.
Not happy times chez eux.
My LA cousins will be happy, though.

There are a lot of games going on right now and they’re basically all good.

wow, that series was over quickly.
It’s kind of sad that Holliday will be hearing about that play for the rest of the offseason (and beyond)… oh well. I’m sure he’ll still get a big contract somewhere, although maybe not with the Cards anymore…
I'm not sad
Should’ve played better in Oakland, chump. Enjoy the offseason. Maybe shag a few fly balls — you know, have your dad hit you some pop-ups — you’ll get better, don’t worry.
I needed a team so I wouldn’t turn into one of the eighty million pink hat-wearing Bud Light-drinking mulleted idiots at Fenway.

Quick work, yes, but by me!

Dear RotoWorld,
Please stop butchering the English language. If Billy Beane has “inferred that Cliff Pennington will be the A’s SS next season,” from whom has he drawn this inference and why wasn’t Billy informed directly? Thank you for your consideration on this excruciatingly important matter.
Sincerely,
Me.

Chavez who got the information from Forst.

Wow
Dodgers sweep. I don’t think anybody predicted that with the seasons that Carpenter and Wainright had.
I wonder if Holliday will resign with St. Louis because he wants redemption or if he will sign somewhere else to get away from the bad memories? He will probably just go to whoever gives him the most money.
