Game Thread: World Series Games Three and Four

Game Three: Jamie Moyer vs. Matt Garza
Anyone else working tonight?
Fan promotion in Philly tonight: if you can throw faster than Moyer on the pitch speed machine, you get a free jumbo dog. Moyer is old ... very old. He debuted in 1986. I'm pretty sure a few of the Rays weren't even born then. Looks like the Phils are already up 1-0 as Garza is starting the game off shaky.
Game Four: Didn't seem like we needed a whole new thread for it. Carry on. [Jay]

I’m pretty impressed the Phils have been doing as well as they have with very little contribution from Ryan Howard.

I lived in Nebraska as a young kid. Grew up a Cornhuskers fan during the era where we lost every year to Miami or Oklahoma. Moved to Cleveland around 1st grade. Was a casual OSU fan through school, but didn’t have any connections to it and maintained my Nebraska ties (while becoming a dedicated fan of all things Cleveland). Ohio St. fields a lot of great teams but loses to Michigan just about every season. Go off to college (Atlanta), watch a lot of SEC football, get some mild satisfaction out of Nebraska’s championships. Start grad school at Michigan. Given that I’m actually directly tied to Michigan, become a big Michigan fan. They proceed to lose to OSU basically every year I was there. I am not someone you want rooting for your college football team. Although at this point, given I actually have two degrees from there, I’m pretty much a Wolverine fan for life.

Garza hasn’t been nearly as locked in as he was in Game 7.
If he could become more consistent, he could become a very good #1 starter, but his inconsistency is his main weakness (and that partly stems from him being an “emotional” player).
Just my 2 cents.

That’s possible, though I think Culbreath’s strike zone benefited Moyer much more than Garza tonight.
In other words, Moyer essentially needed that strike zone to be as effective as he was tonight; the larger strike zone is less important for Garza, so the larger strike zone certainly worked in the Phillies’ favor tonight. (Along with the wind).

Hello westbrook,
I’m not sure I know what you are referring to, unless you’re saying that CC needed a larger strike zone, even with his power stuff, because he couldn’t command it.
It’s true that a larger strike zone can benefit a power pitcher as well, but a power pitcher can work just as well in a smaller strike zone; a soft-tosser like Moyer working with a smaller strike zone would likely have led to him giving up many more hits and/or walks than he did tonight.
Just my 2 cents.

by fwembt on Oct 26, 2008 12:22 AM EDT reply actions 0 recs
They’re getting the runs in “fundamentally,” so they’ve taken full advantage of this inning to get back to within a run.
It will be interesting to see if Baldelli and/or Perez gets in there, now that Moyer is out of there. Gross hasn’t done a bad job tonight (2 RBIs), though he’s arguably not the hitter Baldelli is and doesn’t have Perez’s speed.

Gross did manage the difficult act of looking overmatched by Jamie Moyer.
by fwembt on Oct 26, 2008 12:43 AM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
Granted, it’s a SSS, but Gross was considered a pretty good hitting prospect at one time.
So far, I haven’t been impressed – he looks almost as much like an automatic out as a pitcher.
In his defense though, Longoria (among a few other Rays, like Iwamura and even Pena) also looked overmatched by Jamie Moyer in his first 2 ABs before he crushed a pitch that would have easily been a HR 99.9% of the time.
Just my 2 cents.

I’ll say once again that I can’t imagine an ump being in a better position and making a worse call (in reference to the Rollins situation).
Sour grapes.

That was a terrible call. The one last night where the baserunner was out at first on Moyer’s diving throw, I could at least see that he maybe was shielded by Howard. That play, though, was about 3 feet from him and he had the world’s clearest view of it. I don’t really understand how it’s possible he missed it. And as a Phillies fan, I don’t even like it as a “make up call” or whatever. A terrible call is a terrible call, whether it’s for you or against you.

Interesting thing is, the ump had a better view than the camera, he was right on top of the play. How could he not see that Longoria’s glove was practically right up Rollins’ ass? Is it possible the camera lies?

for me the show’s failing is its attempt at nailing down a BIG THEME in the context of social changes, both public and domestic, as the 50s fade into the 60s. It achieves this spectacularly at times in individual scenes. But the whole plot/narrative of the story is just to repetitive and to blunt to be exceptional. You end up viewing it as comedic rather than serious. But it’s a good show, just not an awesome show.

there was a guy in one of my classes last spring named Jay that kinda looked like the Clooney avatar pic. It was weird.

I was tempted at one point to ask him if blogged on the Indians, then I reminded myself that you didn’t look like that.

That’s the second time that douche bag threw in a Fox show reference in the middle of a postgame interview.
While I admire the creativity, JUST STOP BECAUSE I WANT TO STAB YOU IN YOUR SOUL.

“The Phillies undefeated so far this postseason in their own house— House, that’s a good show on Fox —so Jimmy, what was it like….”
I mean really, are there execs in a room looking at numbers that suggest THIS BOOSTS RATINGS? Really?
While we’re on the topic of House, I chuckle a little every time they show the preview for the next show and the woman is like, “Come on, cry! Cry!”

I am in a fully student-produced play. She is the same year as me, and is the director. Let’s just say we have completely differing personalities.
I needed a costume, and she had the money for it, and the car to drive to the thrift store. She also had the authority to order that I accompany her.
So we get to the store. My character needs a tweed suite, a shirt, and a tie. I pick out a tweed suit, and, pausing to let the last of my spine slowly curve and melt away, bring it to her and ask if it works. She lets out a snicker and says “here, I’ll do it,” after which I must suffer through twenty minutes of her having me try on various jackets and hold up various pants to my waist. It was as though she were some demonic evil girlfriendbot.
The entire experience was humiliating, simply because I knew everyone who looked at us assumed we were a couple. The thought of dating her, um, erm, you can figure out.

This doesn’t count the car ride to the store and back. And she drives a purple mustang. WTF.

In the movie version of your life, you end up in bed with her the night of the play. Or the night before.
I’m just saying.
