I had a great Halloween

I went to the reunion gig of a band (featuring 3 friends) who split up 4 years ago, and they got back together for tonight only. OMG they were fantastic. And people were great, and beer was flowing, and the venue was excellent, and, as we left, my gf and I were like “oh well, we’ll never get a cab in these back streets”, and one miraculously turned the corner. Happy days.

Happy Halloween, my American friends!

Family Guy has some huge Racist moments also

however, they do pick on everyone equally. I’m just saying that given the Cleavland show is a spinoff of Family guy, it should be no surprise that they have some tasteless jokes in the show.

Carlos Gonzalez. Nobody who was trick or treating with me knew who he was. :P

I had a friend in high school

who wanted to bring a samurai sword on the bus with him one day. Instead, I paid him $10 to write an in-class essay on All Quiet on the Western Front that discussed Bob the Builder, unicorns, and a bunch of other weird stuff. The teacher read it during class and said he got an F. He actually gave him an A.

I just looked and there were quite a few.

Manager, exec, unsung star (Ubaldo), defense (Tulo), performance (Tulo’s cycle). The only obvious one missing to me would be Huston.

Obviously they wanted only one play involving a Rockie...

and it happens to be Carl Crawford’s home run robbing catch against Brad Hawpe in the All-Star Game.

I dunno. maybe I’m just biased against Michelle because I’m not a fan of Spring Awakening.

I just realized while typing their last names that both Lea Michelle and Amber Riley have first name last names.

I can't say I see any sort of excess solely on the part of Microsoft.

They both do it. Though the quality of Windows products has most certainly declined, which is why I skipped Vista altogether. When I buy my new computer, then I’ll move off of XP.

Microsoft should've never

went to Vista in the first place. XP was a great OS, and all they had to do was tweak it a bit. However Apple was smart when they went to a Unix based OS, and I’m not sure if Windows can ever recover.

That seems to be the case for many, but it isn't always the case.

Some PCs are better than others. For example, my Sony VAIO PCs always behave far better when I am using them than do Macs. I use Macs for video editing purposes only, and even then they frustrate me. Mac programs seem to “unexpectedly quit” at an annoying rate. I think they just don’t like me.

when you’re a #10 team beating the #5.

I don't care.

Storming the field should be reserved for extreme circumstances. Not for a game when it could have been considered reasonable to think you’d win.

I like it

on certain occasions (Memorial Day, July 4, Veteran’s Day…) but on others it seems to be out of place. The Sunday Rockies games seem appropriate as well but I don’t like it every game because it does make the game longer. Anything that makes the game longer that does not include actually playing baseball is kind of bothersome.

I'm sort of in between

I troubleshoot customer problems and have enough experience and working knowledge of a wide variety apps and tools, but I’m not a hardward person. The hard part is getting someone to read your resume and cover letter. So many jobs are posted online and you have to basicall figure out a way for them to actually look at yours over the other 500 they receive. Its discouraging I have to say…:(

Those extra off days in the LCS round before game 5 is a joke...

especially when it is a 2-3-2 format. I might have seen it if is was a 2-2-1-1-1 format, but not in a 2-3-2 format.

Exactly

Plus I don’t like how you only need to use three starters and get to save the best members of your bullpen for every single game. It completely changes how players are used in the series.

but it’s an entirly more serious matter when they allow the networks to insert extra off days that effect the series itself

Earlier today, MLB Network re-aired the 1969 World Series between the Baltimore Orioles and the New York Mets...

That Sunday game on NBC must have started at 1pm ET, because Curt Gowdy teased upcoming AFL games airing after that game on NBC, including the Denver Broncos, coming up at 4pm ET.

Ah, the good ole days, when they actually had a matinee start time for a World Series game.

Just think, that 1969 World Series was broadcasted in color on NBC-TV...

but were too cheap at the time to the record the game onto a tape in color. MLB Network only had a black-and-white version. Same for the 1968 World Series between the St. Louis Cardinals and the Detroit Tigers.

Remember, the rain plagued World Series game last year?

Originally not ruled a HR, but was reversed on replay.

The HR ricocheted off the lens of the FOX camera in right field, which was hanging over the right field fence. It would have likely cleared the fence if the FOX camera wasn’t there.

Cause it didn't hit the ground and then clear the fence

If anything, it would have bounced off the fence, then been a double anyway because that’s as far as A-Roid got on the play.

A gound rule double

is when the ball lands in fair territory and bounces into the seats.

If it bounces off the fence and then into the field of play the ball is in play

I'm still hoping to wake up from that nightmare I had about the 9th inning of Game 4.

by RhodeIslandRoxfan on Oct 31, 2009 11:00 PM MDT up reply actions   0 recs

Probably since the umpires determined that the ball would have cleared the fence, if the camera lens wasn't in the way.

Apparently, during Charlie Manuel’s postgame news conference that aired on ESPN, Manuel mentioned that the umpires determined before the game, that if the ball had hit the camera, then it was going to be a home run. But Charlie Manuel wasn’t advised about that ruling during the line-up exchange before the game.

That's what Manuel said in his postgame comments.

Apparently, since it was not a fan, it was not going to be ruled as a ground rule double. Go figure.

Now I'm confused...

I thought fan interference → out…

And doesn’t a ground rule double have to hit the ground first? It would have been a double, but not a ground-rule double.

Here's how i understand it

Ground rule double must hit ground first

Fan interferiance means that now the umps have to decide what would have happened

I'm still hoping to wake up from that nightmare I had about the 9th inning of Game 4.

Oh, good point!

I remember it being an out… “if the ball was catchable.” I’m slow tonight. Must be that… ahem… birthday ending in a 0. ;-p

Seriously?!?

Then, in that case, the review was probably only to confirm that the ball hit the camera

Of course, that means they knew it was interfering and they should have placed it differently… ;-p

What is even more redicules to me

is that the umps noticed that the camera was there in pregame and did nothing about it

Then again, I guess I shouldn’t be, if the umps were the decision makers. They’ve been very bush league on average all year…

from wikipedia...:)

An automatic double can also be awarded if the ball does not leave the field of play but becomes otherwise unplayable. Examples include the ball getting stuck under the roll of tarpaulin used to cover the infield during rain delays, and disappearing into the ivy covering the outfield wall of Wrigley Field.

I see the camera as the same thing…garrrrhhhhh
