Around SBN: Carmelo Anthony, Amar'e Stoudemire Vow To Fit In With Lin

NLDS Game 3 Pregame Thread: Phillies go with same lineup, Rockies lineup missing Hawpe again.

No surprises in the Philadelphia lineup, with the exception of the pitcher it's exactly the same as it has been the first two games of the series according to Troy Renck:

 

  1. Jimmy Rollins, SS
  2. Shane Victorino, CF
  3. Chase Utley, 2B
  4. Ryan Howard, 1B
  5. Jayson Werth, RF
  6. Raul Ibanez, LF
  7. Pedro Feliz, 3B
  8. Carlos Ruiz, C
  9. J.A. Happ, P

Jim Tracy's lineup according to Jack Etkin is missing Brad Hawpe once again:

  1. Carlos Gonzalez
  2. Dexter Fowler
  3. Todd Helton
  4. Troy Tulowitzki
  5. Yorvit Torrealba
  6. Garrett Atkins
  7. Ryan Spilborghs
  8. Clint Barmes
  9. Jason Hammel

I still think it's a mistake to not start Seth Smith, and Atkins has done little this series to reward Tracy's faith in him, which is why the scorching hot Torrealba is getting moved up. 

Putting this up now because we're all getting antsy. We can discuss the Yankees/Twins game here.

Swisher might have a slight advantage offensively, because of the wiffle ball park he plays in.

Other than that, advantage Spilly.

Swisher would probably have more trouble in a staring contest against Dinger than Spilly did.

also play in the infield (1B) if necessary. I don’t know if I want Spilly playing an infield position of any kind.

Indeed he does.

Have you seen the new Cinematic Arts building he and Spielberg paid for? Gorgeous thing. I especially enjoy the hallowed “GEORGE LUCAS BUILDING” carved into the architecture (Spielberg has his name on the other half of the building).

They recently put in a new plaque in front of it because the spelled a word wrong on the first one. More money = less attention to detail. I think Lucas might have been here for the installment of that plaque.

The groundbreaking was in my first semester, Fall 2006

I remember a parking lot being there, but don’t recall any of the buildings, as I never really went over to that corner of campus that year. They did take out a gigantic chunk of land though.

by Greg Stanwood on Oct 11, 2009 7:46 PM MDT up reply actions  

The Schoenberg family has been badmouthing the university

which actually had a very valid claim, that the building they were paying out the nose for needed to be put to better use by students at USC. Hardly anybody on campus even knew it was there or what happened in it. If you Google Arnold Schoenberg Institute or look at the Center’s wikipedia page, you’ll usually get the family’s sob story because they’re a bunch of primadonnas trying to live off of their Daddy’s legacy. Sounds a lot like something that would fit in with USC, I know, it didn’t work out. I hear their current building is just as empty and lifeless as the ASI was when they ran it on campus.

B. The Rockies win in a laugher by 8 runs

Which do you choose?
