Good afternoon

I count myself fortunate to be able to seet this game (on CBC). Great matchup with Lester vs. Halladay. Hope for a win and a Twins loss later to keep our pennant hopes alive.

Hi

Good start so far.

Damn....squandered opportunity

first and second, nobody out and we can’t score. ’Doc" is tough when he bears down.

Why isn't this game on Cable "In Demand"??

Does it have something to do with Rodgers network, whatever that is??

by NG on Sep 20, 2008 1:29 PM EDT reply actions   0 recs

Don't know what 'In Demand' is.....

I get the Time-Warner “Extra Innings” package and all Saturday afternoon games are blacked out each week.

 I live near Canada and it’s on one of their Toronto stations today, so I lucked out.

by ccthemovieman on Sep 20, 2008 1:38 PM EDT reply actions   0 recs

It is probably the same thing!

Why are Saturday pm games blacked out?

by NG on Sep 20, 2008 1:56 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

Well, root 'em on, guys!

I have things to do while the game is and can’t sit here any longer.

Should I be worried about him in the POs?

Marcum out for next year most likely

getting Tommy John surgery this offseason… that’s too bad even if he’s a jays pitcher. If/when Burnett opts out, their pen won’t be 1/2 of what it was this year

Hey all

Homers, anyone?

My last sig was too long, so my new one is: He who hesitates is a mediocre ambidextrious stupid person who thinks the Rays suck and stole Joe Maddon's shoes while thinking he was at a baseball game but was at church.

not yet, only way yankees are eliminated today is if the sox win and the yankees lose.

Hey people.

Remember when we were kids and we mixed sodas together and called them "suicides"? It was OK though, because Dr. Pepper was always there.

Cora doing his thing
