World Series Game 5 Thread: Coronation or Continuation?

PrintThe champs are on the ropes, they're hopes hanging by a Cliff.
Meanwhile the evilest of empires is 27 outs from its 27th conquest, or the same amount as the White Sox, Braves, Twins, Orioles, Phillies, Indians, Cubs, Marlins, Blue Jays, Mets, Royals, Angels, Diamondbacks, Padres, Astros, Rockies, Brewers, Rays, Rangers, Nationals, and Mariners...combined.
Either this thing goes back to the Bronx or for the sixth straight season a Series ends in less than six games.

my commute consists of walking 15 ft to the elevator
riding it to the 2nd floor and then walking 20 ft to my apartment front door :-)

I which case you’re still smart for setting it up like that!!

I was walking my golden lab / beagle mix and a child looked scared and asked, “Is that a bull pit?” Very cute.

c) because I’m not ready for baseball to be over.

If the at least force the series to go back to NY, the entire team owes a _big_one to Chase.

Again with the odd decision to start Molina over Posada.
I know Girardi’s doing it for Burnett, but when Molina inevitably gets lifted for Jorge, they’re really on thin ice.

Somewhere along the line, they've dubbed Jose Molina
as Burnett’s “personal catcher”. I doubt AJ’s actually more productive this way, but that’s the way they’ve done it.

There was a period of time where it seemed Posada was the catcher non gratis

ALSO – did they say if Cabrera has a strained hammie?

Yes on the Chiefs
but it’s too early to tell on Cleveland and Washington. I wouldn’t be surprised if they beat someone they shouldn’t (aka Eagles) and then talk about running the table and making the playoffs
They'll probably win in Denver.
Which will then convince me to spend $1200 on season tickets.

Pac-10
The overall depth in the conference is pretty good. Oregon and USC will both get BCS bids when it’s all over this season. Three or four teams could be ranked to finish the season, with the fourth being either Arizona or Oregon State. Arizona State also isn’t that bad. Stanford can handle the weak teams, but struggle with teams right above them. That’s their next step. Overall, a case can be made for the Pac-10 being almost right up there with the SEC this season.

Part of the reason I wanted Lee in Game 4, Blanton in Game 5 is that I felt the Phillies could get to Burnett. How nice it would be to have Blanton going right now — and have had Lee on the mound last night with 4 runs of support.
I know — who knows how well he would have pitched and so on. But I think that was the right move and the Phillies could be taking a 3-2 lead with Pedro and Lee lined up.

they have the Christmas lights up in downtown Palo Alto
we don’t have them in the Mission, thankfully.
I don’t know why this still weirds me out, it’s nothing new. But still…
I think it's a bit early for lights......

They have them up at the Toledo Zoo, too.
Which, btw, if you happen to be there, you should visit.

Its very pretty.

Ratings Prediction
I think the Falcons-Saints game will have a higher rating than the World Series tonight.

I heard they were some of the best WS ratings in a good long while.

Ratings
These are the best World Series ratings since 2004.

Reasoning
- The World Series game is a blowout tonight
- The Monday night game is a close, high-scoring battle featuring an undefeated team.
- The odds of a football game beating out a baseball game is higher than a baseball game beating out a football game.

It would have been a pretty amazing catch
If it had hit him in the head; now that’s comedy
Ibanez
Yeah, I’d say he’s definitely known for his bat.
