"You put a gerbil WHERE? Oh, mon dieu!"

Lefties Joe Saunders and Andy Pettitte take the hill in damp New York, with the Angels trying to even the series and, Yankees trying to win it, and the Phillies undoubtedly watching with bemused relaxation. First pitch is scheduled for 5:20pm PDT.

Jeter would have had a hit there

but he was worried we’d all just chatter about his perfection all night, so he made an out out of pure modesty and altruism. Plus, he was helping a little old lady cross the street with his mind during that AB, and these things take precedence even over baseball when you’re as perfect and as wholesome as Derek Jeter.

The gritty way in which he spilled the beverage as he tossed the cup away was probably what inspired his teammate to get a hit.

the TV annoncers seem to really be hype

to filter every damn thing the Yankees do through this epic “story” they like to tell, where the syrupy music plays and the soaring strings are supposed to get you all goopy with Gehrigness or something. Really it’s to sell, to promote the product of MLB like their bosses insist they do, with the Yankees as the marquee franchise whose dream all this is and the rest of the teams are just in the Yankees’ dream.

Fox showed a replay of the first one

No comment from either Buck or McCarver. Then he throws another and it gets ripped to RF. Then McCarver says the first one was good and the second one was not.

Morgan is terrible, but he sounds like Bill James compared to these TV clowns.

S: It’s funny they all don’t play the same calendar….that’s the way it works with basketball.
M: They do all play the same calendar, these are the playoffs and the A’s aren’t in them.
S: Oh, I see. So which teams are in them then?

actually, you don't need software

do you have a PC? I only now how to do it for that

Basically, plug your ipod in, and then use the ‘My Documents’ window to show the ipod files.

then:

Tools —> Folder Options —> View —> click the ‘view hidden files and folders’ opttion.

your mp3 files will appear! you’ll have to copy them across to your hard drive (will take some time), and then you’ll have to re-add them to your itunes (will take some time), but they’re all there

it does take some time. but hey.

Doesn't the World Series start at the same time?

I blame the Phillies for not wanting to play more baseball with the Doyers.

It would be difficult to have the Phillies start one day and the Yankees another.
