It's not just you. "Blaming" is not healthy TEAM behavior. I'm certain that most GMs share that particular view. It's not the only factor, but it is certainly not a positive in Billingsley's favor.

As far as I'm concerned, you're WELCOME to Peavy!

Witness to Jonestown is a two-hour documentary that will premier on MSNBC on November 9.Witness to JonestownPreview clip below

Unless we have a repeat of 2000. I can't imagine catching up to excie...

That guy is Kerwin Danley, who played college ball (outfield) at San Diego State University with Mark Grace. He was also at first base for game one (and missed the balk call). I think Danley now lives in California, but used to live in the Phoenix area. In the mid-1990s, I went to the same gym he did (at least he did during the off season). My daughter was classmates with the daughter of a gal that Danley dated for a few years. I never really had much interaction with him... him being a big musclebound athletic type... and I was just going to get exercise... The rumors of his demise have been greatly exaggerated. He's alive and well, living in the Phoenix area, has season tickets to the Dbacks and fills in occasionally for Mark Grace when Grace goes on assignment for Fox Sports. Substituting for Grace in the TV broadcast booth. The bright side of that kind of deal for the Dodgers and Manny for me is that might make it difficult for the Dodgers to afford enough of a team around Manny to be much better than they were this year.

Of course... pawtucket said that it doesn't show up on the main forum page when one is not logged in. But if you already know the URL to get in, you can get in without clicking on a link on the main forum page. Duh... wow, how many days did it take me to figure that out? :blink:

With this insight from Potato, I agree... and will add that I think it's highly unlikely he lurks here. Given his narcissism (can any of us who knew him doubt that he is pathologically narcissistic?), the need to gaze at oneself in the glory of how one believes one actually is, it's undoubtedly FAR too emotionally dangerous for him to willingly view, let alone acknowledge what others say critically about him.

I don't know how much trouble there actually was, but there WAS talk of block voting allegations when the 9th corps was in residence for its first year. That was the year that Nancy Landon Kassebaum was first elected to the US Senate from Kansas. I don't remember what the narrative was, but I do remember we were encouraged to vote for her, but the words spoken about Bob Dole were not so kind. He apparently had some problem with religious freedom, or so it was said. Dole, however, was not standing for reelection that year. For those who do not recall, Ms. Kassebaum WAS a republican.

That was n't the only mistake the Phillies overcame... bottom of the first, Akinora's hit seemed like Hamels should have been able to get to first base for the toss... obviously, Howard wasn't fast enough on his own to beat Akinora. But that DP on the next batter wiped that out... BUT... it was still a good, close game. I can't imagine the Phils being able to keep the Rays' offense subdued very long.

I've wondered the same thing.

Here's to a 2009 WS featuring Texas vs. Arizona!!!

Hey Mstar... take a deep breath... it was a great season to get this far.

I just hope you're emotionally prepared for what now has to be the outside possibility that the Red Sox will lose. :)

Apparently I turned my TV on right as they had it fixed...

Certainly couldn't beat that game for dramatic impact!

Thanks for find those, Dave!

No need to say ANYTHING... at least until the end of game 6! :)

In case anyone is interested in seeing the footage from the Dinner... it looks like MSNBC will be running the Rachel Maddow show again at 3am eastern time/midnight tonight Mountain and Pacific time... if you have tivo/dvr that is. The footage is in the last 20 minutes of the hour long show.

I watch every night (except reruns)... but it doesn't start for more than an hour from now here... actually, BOTH McSame and Obama spoke at the Alfred E Smith Memorial Foundation Dinner tonight in NYC and both were VERY funny... on purpose... Rachel Maddow's show on MSNBC carried the footage tonight... might rerun tonight, check your cable listings for MSNBC.

What was that thing that YOGI said????????????????????????????????

It surely does! Two seriously good teams...

Wasn't that Furcal doing his best Jose Offerman impersonation?

I'm kinda getting that idea too... Ooooh... now you're sounding like one John Sidney McCain III! :blink:

Knuckleball stayed high, so they let it fly... for 5 runs off of the Wakemeister. As I type this, the RedSox are now on the board... ... as Yogi said, it ain't over...

And apparently quite talented. I was able to make one of the NLDS games in 2001 as well as game 1 of the WS that year. And having been at game 6 of the NBA finals the year the Bulls beat the Suns, I can tell you it's IMMENSELY more fun when your team wins.
