sorta...

Awesome high-speed photography... Photography of 6 High-Speed photogs an example (or two):

I dunno... seemed like a pretty good game to me. TB 9-8 in 11 with a walk-off sac fly by BJ Upton.

My mistake... I was actually referring to your FWIW point here as opposed to the quote I did enclose when I said that about Manny. OKAY... so I'd rather see BOTH LCS's go seven and be good serieses.

Indeed, Manny was emotionally into the game... getting a pitch BEHIND him would do that to most players, I bet. But as much as he did for his team, there just wasn't enough Manny to beat them Phillies. Maybe the NLCS will go 7... that would make for a good series. I still remember the 2001 post-season fondly. That WS was awesome.

Karen, did you connect with Renee yet?

Fred Goldman pleased with Simpson verdict Saturday, October 4, 2008 (10-04) 14:39 PDT Los Angeles, CA (AP) -- The father of the man O.J. Simpson was accused of murdering along with his ex-wife says he's pleased that the one-time football hero could end up spending the rest of his life in jail. Fred Goldman, the father of Ronald Goldman, told CNN Saturday that his family is "thrilled to see the potential that he could serve the rest of his life in jail where the scumbag belongs." Simpson was convicted late Friday on a dozen charges related to the armed robbery of two sports memorabilia dealers in a Las Vegas hotel room last year. He was taken into custody shortly after the charges were read against him and is due to be sentenced on Dec. 5. The verdict came 13 years to the day after Simpson was cleared of murdering Nicole Brown Simpson and Ronald Goldman, her friend. http://sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/n.../n143901D16.DTL

NOT ME! <_<

I think it was the Angels that had shot all of their bullets... on Sunday. The made yesterday's game pretty good anyway however. Depending on how many days' rest, all four teams could be at or close to full strength for their respective LCS games.

His arrogance finally caught up with him.

Since I got no dog in this hunt, I gotta root for the Rays in the AL...

Yep them Rays are for real!!!

The halos live to play another day! btw, of the 8 playoff teams, only ONE will win its last game. But you already knew that. The Dbacks at least got to finish the season with a win!

You've got it, YOU'VE GOT IT... No, YOU take it!!! :o

Hey Simon... take a couple of deep breaths. You'll be okay by tomorrow... OTOH, didn't Sweet Lou have a similar problem in Seattle?

You mean they don't have a different October "down under" (you know, where Fellowshipper lives)?

probably the only thing better would have been to be at the game live... but then again, well, that WAS 20 years ago... did they have big screen TVs in that bar?

Follow playoff games here also

I saw a little bit of the last two half innings... pretty good drama. Home team won... btw, if either Chicago team gets to the big one, I hope the weather will be good in the Windy City. Otherwise, LA/Anaheim and Tampa would seem to be good for preventing rain outs...

NO. Not ONLY no, but HELL NO! :)

I suspect we'll have a few of those days... hopefully VERY soon! So, Simon, is there any uncertainty as to who you'll be cheering for in the playoffs?

So, when do pitchers and catchers report for spring training?

Well, there ARE good reasons to root for the Rays and the Brewers, one never having been in the playoffs and the other so long ago. BUT one has to figure the Cubs to be a sentimental favorite in many places throughout the country. I can't imagine the Brewers making it to the WS, but have to think that any of the other three NL teams could make it. What happened with the AL central?

Is it time for Spring Training yet?

I'd say its almost certainly TWI. It's put the way it is in the article, likely, because the reporter isn't familiar with TWI. I'm not so sure the connection with twi is meaningful from any sort of cause/effect relationship because there are (unfortunately) too many child molesters in plenty of places not associated with twi. That said, the association in this article is still there and still looks bad from any angle.
