The Dodgers meanwhile have made it to the NLCS twice with Ethier… and Manny.

How is it only the 4th inning?
I love baseball, but two and a half – three hours for a game seems a reasonable length, to me.
I’m blaming Selig, of course
"okay Bob, we are through with the Chinese water torture" (bob) "that was quick?"

that sounds about right and down there
chili doesn’t even have beans in it just slow cooked beef and spices.
I've had plenty of vegetarian food in Austin
not just Pizza, either
The first time I went there, I was on the bus, and a lady remarked that
‘it sure is purdy this time of year’.
it’s Texas.
Right, but that's lie saying downtown Houston isn't like the rest of Texas, or Laredo, etc
Texas is all those things, no?
uh no
I’ve have quite a bit of family in Texas and I’ve spent more time there then I’d like and you can ask anyone who lives there and they’ll tell you Austin is very different from the rest of the state.
ok, yeah. You are right. I guess my point is
that the whole of the state is a lot more varied than it’s given credit for
it's a huge state with a lot of people in it
and if I had to live there Austin is where I’d go. Of course college towns are always a little different from the rest of the state.
I think what I love about Austin is that it's a really odd place
it’s part olde america, part high tech, part old Texas, part new Texas, part blazing heat, part Bay Area fog; I really don’t think there’s anywhere like it in the world.
yeah, I've been to Dallas a few times for work
It’s better than Houston.
….
the only thing cool about Dallas
is that it’s named after Dallas Braden.
At least, this is my understanding of it
Houston is hell on earth in August
I was there for a convention once in August and my brain melted it was so hot.
I think I'm moving there next summer
I just can’t afford the Bay Area much more
seriously
I actually really like Texas. Austin, especially
I can learn to cope, I think
I think part of the appeal to me, as well as halving my rent, is that it’ll be a little unsettling to live there.
It’s really so easy to live in the bay area, especially as a stereotypically liberal vegetarian, and I’d quite like to shake it up a bit. That might be a bit willfully obtuse, but fuck it. I can always leave, right
And humidity

gotta jump in on the end of the TX conversation,
considering I live in Texas now…
It’s really not that bad. The tail end of the summer was obnoxiously hot and humid, but that’s to be expected. We’ve been getting a surprising amount of rain, which gives it that Florida jungle feeling. But it’s not the hell-hole that some people might make it out to be.
And apparently Austin is awesome. I was there twice last week but just at UT’s library and at a movie theatre, so I haven’t had the chance to explore yet.

Waco… which, honestly, isn’t the greatest town/city. But it works. And within driving distance of Dallas/Ft Worth and Austin.

Yeah, I've driven past there
on the way to Austin from Dallas, I think.
I guess that’s the wrong side of the town, but have you ever been to Round Rock? It’s about twenty miles North of Austin.
Reason I ask is that’s the nearest minor league baseball team to Austin itself…
I went shopping at the outlets in Round Rock
but haven’t seen much else of it. What minor league team is there?

I should go to a game when they play the River Cats. It doesn’t get much more hardcore than away fans at minor league games…

well he swung
and accidentally hit the ball so it was in play. if you check your swing, and don’t hit the ball, but you cross the plane of the plate then it’s a strike. if you do the same but don’t cross the plane, then it’s a ball.

okay so if his feet move over the plate is the difference? or do you mean bat?
sorry for not knowing as much as the rest of the ANers
the bat
either way, a short def for a checked swing is a halfway swing. like berryjo said, started to swing then stopped.

NO the player thought about swinging - started to and then decided it wasn't a good idea
or that the pitch was a ball so s/he checks or stops the swing. Problem is if it crossed the plate – it’s a strike

Buck Martinez occasionally says something useful
but Ron Darling is pretty useless. It’s pretty much an unending string of cliches from him.
"And Julio Franco is batting right-handed!" -- Wayne Hagin, A's radio play-by-play, mid-80s
I just read Ron Darling's book and it's quite good though
Perhaps they should have booked his ghostwriter instead. Darling has nothing but nice things to say about his time with the A’s, LaRussa and the organization of the time, and Alameda County.

that break is beyond stupid
it’s all for TV of course but if you look at the ratings especially the NLCS on TBS maybe they should try something different as it’s barely beating wrestiling among 18-49 year olds and it’s getting killed by the NFL
did you see the commercial for "house of payne" earlier
it’s like they’re waiting for the LCS to be over so they can show crappy sitcoms.

All through the game on Fox yesterday (I think? this week is blurring a bit), they were talking
about the episode of House coming up.
I mean, I like House, but seriously?
Well baseball going late hurt House in the ratings on Monday is what I read
so I’m sure FOX was pissed
Well - House fans were probably pissed as well....just a pissy night all the way around, then

I wasn't ticked but I'm glad I was watching the game
as I have House set up on my DVR and if I wasn’t watching the game I would have only taped about half the show.
I had something taping the other day and it taped like three times for 400 minutes each time
Problem was it erased my stuff I hadn’t even watched!! Like the Office wedding show!!!

I don't know if anyone else has had 'Red Oval' beer from Trader Joes
but it’s $2.99 for a six pack. $2.99!!!!
and quite drinkable, too.
One of my new favorite things, is for sure
It's better than that
It’s fairly bland, I’ll give you, but doesn’t have that terrible aftertaste of, say, Coors Light.
Straight out of Monroe, Wisconsin.
I dunno

Lots of character, weirdos, and things are really casual.
Oh and cheap.
My last rent was $350 for 4000 sqft.
Wow $350 is cheap
my first rent when I went off to college was $75 for half a house that I shared with my best friend. We were Sacramento boys so it was the cheapest rent we’d ever seen.
so it's too cold or too hot
sounds like Lawrence, Kansas which was the coldest place I’ve ever lived in and I did that when I was 19-26 and I was tougher back then

That's the Philly Phanatic

People here love him/her/it
and the Phanatic was one of the first weirdo mascots in MLB. Probably one of the only icons in Philly sports history who’s never been booed.
"And Julio Franco is batting right-handed!" -- Wayne Hagin, A's radio play-by-play, mid-80s
I have no problem if you don't like the Phanatic, FWIW
but Philadelphians are kind of proud/defensive of him/her/it in a way that they’re not, for instance, about the stupid bunny rabbit they have at Sixers games.

You know what's funny about that
in the European World Cup qualification, they first phase is over, in which the winner of each group advanced to the WC next summer. Now the 8 2nd place teams are playing in 4 matchups, with the winner of each matchup advancing. The format is a home-and-home pair of games, decided by aggregate score — so the players should be saying, “Well, we really just need to take it two games at a time!”
