Re: baseball

I guess pitchers like Rogers aren't so happy about the advent of HD TV, eh? I noticed it before they pointed it out in the first, because it stuck out like a sore thumb. Was it that obvious on normal sets?

From where I was sitting on my couch and watching my 57" HD wide screen it was so noticable it looked as if he had his thumb up his ass all day..

Re: baseball

I haven't been following baseball all that much this past season... i was shocked to hear who was in the world series... although its good to see a team i would've never expected from the american league.

Unfortunately, I watched that one from my couch. I do have tickets to Game 5 (which will hopefully be the clincher), and had tickets to tonight's game (should it get played) but ended up unloading them. Regardless of whether it gets played today or tomorrow, it's going to be miserable out there weather-wise -- if we hadn't lost Game 2, I'd be going for sure, but that's a lot of money and unpleasantness for a game that won't be the clincher.

wtf were you thinking?

Re: baseball

wtf were you thinking?

I was thinking:

1. It's going to be rainy and colder than a witch's tit out there,
2. It can't be the final game, and,

perhaps most importantly

3. I can pay for the all of my playoff tickets by selling this one game.

Re: baseball

i have that look right now.

Re: baseball

I think I'll pull through. Seriously, though, I just spent the weekend at Mizzou watching a football game in the pouring rain. Wasn't eager to repeat that experience, esp. with people willing to pay exorbitant amounts of money for my seat and me still having tickets for Game 5.

Besides, St. Louis is such a baseball town, you don't have to be in the stadium to get the world series vibe. The whole city is glowing red right now. Know how when you watch a Cardinals game on TV, the entire stadium is red? That's what the whole city is like...

Yeah, but the thing is, with all due respect to St. Louis, NYC has so much going on besides baseball, it doesn't permeate the culture the same way it does here. If you don't care for baseball, there is plenty to keep you entertained in NYC. Being in St. Louis during baseball season, however, is an immersive experience. Whether you like it or not, come baseball season, it's on.

And check this out -- I just went to grab a sandwich at the place across the street. Who should be in line a couple folks behind me but Chris Carpenter. He was wearing a shirt that said, "I pitched an absurd game in Game 3 of the World Series and all I got was this lousy t-shirt." OK, I made the last part up, but how cool is that?

Re: baseball

yo, NY is a baseball town. it takes over. its the biggest and best baseball market. its just in SL, there isnt anything else outside watching jenks try to beatmatch. thats what i think you are leaning to. shit we had almost 8 million people go to a game this year. yanks at 4 mil, mets above 3.4

Re: baseball

whats the weather looking like?

Re: baseball

whats the weather looking like?

shit.

right now, it's cold and kinda misty, but if the game were to start right at this moment, I suspect they'd play because it isn't really raining per se.

It is supposed to be raining harder as the evening progresses, though. Thing is, though, it is supposed to be coming from a band of weather from Oklahoma and Arkansas. I'm no meteorologist, but that band of weather seems to be moving due east rather than northeast towards st. louis, so maybe we'll get lucky and it will miss us. This, however, is just the ramblings of a guy that would like to see a game tonight, so it should be discounted almost entirely.

The weather folks here are not optimistic about the game being played, but I haven't heard an update on this point for a few hours. I know they want to get this game in, so if it can be done, I suspect they'll try to do it...
