Meh. No one cares who wins the division title anymore thanks to the Wild Card. It'd still be nice to see the Rays take it. The Yankees already have too many.

Who cares? Either team would get creamed by the Phillies.
Considering you KNOW CC is getting the Cy Young just because he's a Yankee instead of David Price?
Yeah...
I'm just glad the Sox are done, so when I drive from JP to Cambridge, it doesn't take an hour and a half to get through the Fenway.
I'm calling it now:
Rays vs. Phillies in the world series.
The Phillies take it in 7 games.
Poor Pud-rays...but they are a-tryin'...

She has seats for both today and tomorrow. Bitch.
So... this Roy Halladay is a pretty good pitcher, eh?
Post season no-no.
A rare feat indeed.

AAANND then EoC was a Rays fan.
She works for the organization too.
Well, TECHNICALLY the MLB, but she works OUT of Tropicana Field.
My pick is... Phillies.

I didn't even watch the second half because I didn't think he'd be able to keep it up for 9 innings. I did see the Reds lone base runner though.
I still fail to understand how they can call it a "No Hitter" if someone actually hits the fucking ball....
Isn't it more of a "No Run" or some such?
It's part of the scorebaord terminology: "Runs, Hits, Errors."
A no-hitter means that no runner got on base that game. A pop fly to left that is caught for an out means that the batter did not get a "Hit".

So basically if you don't make it to first without getting out, then it is not a hit?
Nice use of a triple negative!
And, yes.
Keep in mind that if the pitcher walks or hits the batter with a pitch, the batter can get to first without making a hit.
Fucking baseball rules, how do they work?

Well to be fair, it WAS from 1984-1987. I was 4 and had the hots for Ron Darling.

Baseball was not a huge thing in NC when I was growing up.... Football and basketball were the only sports that were big in my area.
AND, I was just joking... :cry:
I believe that Halladay did walk at least one batter, thus explaining why there was a baserunner. But he did not give up any hits. Now, if he hadn't walked anybody, then it would've been a perfect game.

Baseball wasn't big in Florida either until at the earliest 1993, even now it's still debatable. I guarantee half the people down there think a slider is something that happens in NASCAR.
Or something you stuff in your face while watching NASCAR.

Dear Almighty Baseball Gods...Please shine your grace upon the Rays so that they may smite that which is Cliff Lee and go on to destroy the Yankees. Amen!
And NOW it's football season.

Giants Closer Brian Wilson: a Discordian?
http://nbcsports.msnbc.com/id/39866460/ns/sports-baseball/
QuoteGiants closer Brian Wilson is not your typical player. A lot of closers portray themselves as some form of an alter ego to help psyche themselves up while psyching out the batters they face. Wilson is one of them.
Wilson is clearly intelligent, but as fans learned during his weekly show on cable last year called "Life of Brian," he is also eccentric.
The country is now learning a thing or two about the man with a killer fastball, a dyed beard and a body covered in tattoos.
During Saturday's night locker room interview on Fox, sportcaster Steve Rose had a bizarre exchange with Wilson. Wilson said his post-game celebration was "going to get weird" and said facing the Rangers "sounds delicious." He also made reference to "the Machine." Following the comment about the machine, Rose asked him not to share any more of that with the television audience.
Now, thanks to a YouTube video that inside joke is now public.
This eight-minute clip explains a little of the Wilson mystique, as well as the back story to his comments with Rose.
The highlights:
* Wilson announces on his cable show his five secrets. One of which is that he is a secret ninja
* Wilson is a regular guest on Rose's show "Lunch with Benefits" using Skype
* Rose played a little trick on Wilson during one show that involved scantily clad women
* Wilson responded with a man dressed in S&M walking behind him in the skype shot. That man is called "the Machine" (6:32 in clip)
Is this whole thing a little 'inside baseball'? You bet it is. It's the World Series.
Probably not, but sounds like an interesting fellow. Like Goalies in hockey, the best closers are the ones who are crazy good, and also, a little strange.
Oh, is that still going on?
