Open Thread: World Series Game 3 - Yankees at Phillies


Happy Hallowe'en, everyone! If there was ever any doubt, there is now conclusive proof that I am a pane in the ass.

Photobucket

 

Tonight, Andy Pettitte goes up against Cole Hamels as the series shifts over to the City of Brotherly Love likely rain. Hopefully, they can get Game 3 in tonight without difficulty. Even if it's raining pretty hard, though, Derek Jeter should have little difficulty as he can always just walk on water. First pitch is scheduled for 4:57PDT. Enjoy daylight savings time while you can!

UPDATE, 5:15pm PDT: The game is in a rain delay with the score Cloudburst 1, National Anthem 0 in the 0th inning. The weather forecast calls for decreasing showers starting within the hour, so it appears likely they will get the game in, in its entirety, tonight, just not yet...

UPDATE, 6:00pm PDT: First pitch is estimated to be at 6:15pm PDT. It's an exciting moment because Derek Jeter will be in the batter's box, existing.

I chatted with a boy of about nine at the grocery checkout just now

He was wearing an Yankees cap and jersey and baseball pants. I asked him if that was his costume or if he was a fan. Both. I remarked that this must be a difficult day for a baseball-loving child forced to choose between trick-or-treating and the game. He said, “My dad is taking me out after the game, unless it goes into extra innings, and then we have to TiVo and hope that no one spoils it before we get home.”.

Speaking of names...

Here’s what I learned earlier this week. When you’re setting up Community Service trips for your school and hearing back, by email, from a variety of people you haven’t been contacted by before, and you get an email from “Dick Head,” you tend to think it’s spam even if it’s actually from a guy named Dick Head.

Yeah, I had contacted someone else and he replied from a different dept.

So I wasn’t familiar with him or his name. I very nearly deleted it as spam but then something in the subject line got my attention and I opened it. And darned if the guy’s name isn’t Dick Head. He works for a Ministry, too, so he’s probably not calling himself Dick Head to be sassy.

when do people transition from long names to shortened forms. When do Richards become Dick? When do Williams become Bill? I know lots of Richards and Wills my age, but no Dicks or Bills.

A rainout would allow Cliff Lee to pitch Game 4 on normal rest

(but a Game 7 would still be on 3-days rest). To me, the key to the series is Lee getting 3 starts, which Charlie Manuel is deciding not to do. But if he can get Lee in for Game 4 on normal rest Manuel would HAVE to consider bringing him back for a Game 7.

ooooh I didn't think of it like that

Yeah I guess Manuel might not be so broken up if the game was delayed. I was REALLY surprised when I heard the announcement that cupcakes would start tomorrow. I mean, it wasn’t unexpected — I guess Lee hadn’t pitched on short rest his whole career or something? — but you have to think the way he’s pitched he can’t be that bad on three days rest.

Cliff Lee has never started on three days rest.

If my choices are Blanton or "trying Lee on 3 days rest,"

I’ll take my chances with Lee. Blanton’s a solid pitcher, but Lee is the factor that could make PHI better than NYY. Without that factor, NYY is the better team by 10 games / 162.

I like that he's not eager to risk messing Lee's arm up,

but from my POV:

1. Guys occasionally pitch on 3-days rest all the time and used to pitch on 3-days rest all the time.

2. This is when you DO pitch a guy on short rest.

3. Cliff Lee can handle it. The odds of him pitching great on short rest are better than the odds of Joe Blanton pitching great in general. You have one big weapon; it’s Cliff Lee; use it.

So, I have a question.

If the cast of Glee can actually sing (very, very well, looks like), why do they throw all of the autotune and horribly overdone studio processing onto the songs in the show? I assumed that it was done to mask the cast’s lack of singing ability, but that’s apparently not the case.

Last night I saw four women who were dressed as sushi

They were wearing white tunics (the rice) with pillows (the fish) on their backs attached with black sashes (strips of nori). Apart from one who had decorated her pink pillowcase so that it looked more like a shrimp, it was a minimum-effort group costume. This was at the Shonen Knife concert in San Jose, I thought they were just fans, but they turned out to be one of the opening acts — the Hot Toddies.

I was at the melt banana show last night; there was one guy dressed in a hot dog costume. Rather predictably, he turned out to be a dick.

Melt Banana, on the other hand, were out of this world. It’s unbelievable, really, how good they still manage to be. They did a short 8-bit set before their main show; My mind, melted.

My cottage is invisible from the street…behind a bigger house, then behind a six-foot fence. I have to go out and stand in the driveway if I’m expecting take-out or the plumber. And parents in my neighborhood are such helicopters, they don’t let fifth-graders walk three blocks home from school in the daytime, I don’t think they’re sending their kids to strange people’s doors at night.

We’re new. The school was just established in 2006. We defeated Downey last night. Their quarterback averaged 400 yards per game coming in. He finished the night with 227 yards and two picks in a 48-20 loss. Our side of the bleachers was packed. There was no room to sit. On the other side, it was more than half empty.

Um, why was Pettite wearing a jacket on the basepaths? Is that allowed?

Lost count of how many kids came by my place

I think it was about 40 and I had almost full boxes of regular-size Hershey bars, Kit Kats and Reese’s PBCs so I decided to give those away instead of getting snack-size stuff. The Hershey bars were the most popular.

He's a starter, so he could probably finish the game if he wanted to.

Not sure when he pitched last.

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
