Which one is the hair style that Paula Abdul has recently rocked? That is the one.
Olbermann is a creating of the times. Of course he has zero objectivity, but he doesn’t pretend to. And that was expected backlash to FOX and it’s effectiveness in delivering information to the electorate.
I just utterly hate cable news. Only time I watch is during a national disaster and I just switch between the three.
Like none of the cable news channels have gone to breaking news on this train collision in LA. I’m watching online. It is a very destructive scene
any update at all on the game>?
In fairness Ike is also huge story and they’re covering that.
Not yet. They are going to try to get this one in according to Boog and Simpson
We lost the playoff tiebreaker to the Phils today.
Cable news has really dropped the ball in recent years. They just allow themselves to be spun around like tops (by the Republicans especially), and love to wallow in surface-level crap instead of delving into anything anyone really cares about. They do sh!t like act all admiring of campaigns that “win the news cycle” which I find just maddeningly absurd.
thanks chris
i see a very late start time in our future. like 10PM
and they’re gonna play fast n furious to get 5 innings in b4 that 2nd patch hits
Fox has O’rielly’s big interview with Obama
Olbermann is raging against Palin for 30 minutes
CNN is rewinding on the palin/gibson interview
Headline news has the missing tot story
Tiebreaker?
we dont need no stinkin tiebreaker!
::pops percocet::
yay
Olbermann just did a 10 minute Ike segment. They’re also running him a partial screen.
skanks game was just called
day/nite DH tomorrow 4 them
rumor has that the mets game is close to called
DH tomorrow starting at 4pm
(both of those may get rained out too, fuck you fox, they cant DH b4 the 4pm cuz of them)
and its official
game called
DH tomorrow at 4
I listened to the lyrics of Naughty Cal from club dread. LMAO
yeah, mlb.tv has this game being postponed
i mean, how do you start a DH at 4:00? Fckin FOX
its gotta be single admission if it starts at 4pm right?
Keith Olbermann is not the problem with news media. Neither, to some extent, is Bill O’Reilly.
The problem is Brit Hume. The problem is Tom Brokaw. The problem was Tim Russert. The problem is Charlie Gibson. etc etc etc
I agree.
No way the Mets lose out on a chance to make money, Dep. It can’t be single admission, can it? It’s not 1967 anymore.
Wow. It will be single admission.
I AM SCANDALIZED.
Yeah no way can they clear that place and do it again unless they plan to play the second game at 10. FOX just cost Freddie a gate.
Mets are actually decent about this. They don’t play a lot of splits unless they had a huge gate for the game that got rained out.
lol lister
i’m personally shocked they didnt do day/nite on sunday, but there must be a team-related reason.
thanks doc! yea, mets.com confirms all that, sucks for ppl that had tix to 2nite’s game, not many 2008 games left to choose from to exchange
You don’t think tonight was at least 45K attendance?
So is Brian Schneider’s knee infection serious? They said that Cancel was to start at catcher
almost every game has at least 45K tickets sold, mets have done crazy good at the gate. 4M is 4M, only 82games, the math checks!
friday night, vs braves, they had a huge gate tonight imo
Eh, Friday night, a bit cold, kiddies back in school, they could have sold 45K but I wouldn’t be shocked if it was more like 35.
orrrrrrrrr 81 games! lol @ the math checks
silly perc’s!
Don’t the Jays have more 3rd order wins than the Mets?
Thats kinda spooky to me.
A huge gate at Shea these days would be like 52 or something like that.
i bet they had less than 15K “at” the stadium
ppl knew the weather was bad all day, everyone waited imo
4 million is crazy people. 8 million gates in one city for baseball is remarkable.
You have to have entered the gates tonight to get the exchange tix? It’s not just that you had tix for tonight?
yes lister, they do.
mets rank like 8th in 3rd order wins.
I tried to tell at BPXtina today about luis ayala, she actually took my question. you would be proud, i’ve been harassing the shit outta him/her
I think you just have to have tickets.
naw anyone with a valid ticket for tonight’s game, regardless of if you actually went or not can exchange for a future game
4 million “tickets”
they dont tell you the real ppl number and they lie about it always in the stadium.
true dat
I’m gonna play some rbi baseball
i need to go get very very drunk boys.
enjoy the evening.
tomorrow we play 2! (maybe!)
not sure if ya’ll saw this UPDATE: The Mets will use Johan Santana in Game 1 on Saturday and Jon Niese in Game 2. Oliver Perez goes Sunday and Pedro Martinez waits until Monday. The Mets didn’t want to use Martinez on Saturday, because then they’d need two starters in D.C. — on Tuesday and Wednesday. Niese originally would have gone Tuesday and Santana on Wednesday, but now Santana can’t go that day without being on short rest.
this rainout ducks for the mets could cost Santana a start this season
That horrific train accident ain’t ten miles from me here.
Terrible terrible gibberish. I know the area well.
I broke open the 12 pack I had and have been watching this South Fla Kansas game. Pretty good game
Niese should be a little better. He’ll have the Shea crowd behind him and well hes one of Jeryys Kids now ;-)
Boy, Soriano has been on some tear. I have him on my fantasy team. Had he not missed all that time hed probably be an MVP candidate. But, we all know Delgado is the TRUE MVP
Frankly, I’d rather see Niese than Pedro at this point.
Me too LFM. Pedro scares me. I am not sure if hes injured or tipping his pitches but he can only go so long and then he self destructs. He should probably be the one tp go to the pen but I dont think his ego could take it
This might be a good move based on pure matchups. At one point, pretty late in the summer if I recall, the Braves OPS vs lefties was sub .700. I haven’t paid attention so much since Tex left but that was with him.
Pedro sucks. Yes, but I believe he has some real favorable matchups coming up (w/ the exception of a start vs the Cubs)
Good point Chris. Hes still slowly coming back from major injuries so lets see if he can get it back. I just get so frustrated at times and I know we have to be patient. But, can we get rid of Aaron Heilman? lol
I have to believe he’s injured.
He’s too smart and hard working a pitcher for it to be something about tipping his pitches or a mechanical flaw or anything like that…
He’s an old player trying to come back off an injury that would end a lot of young players’ careers and… I think it just didn’t work.
I think he’s just done.
Oh crap.
That would be THE worst case scenario with Delgado.
I… I want a shot at getting Tashaynaynay, dammit.
Sandy Koufax wouldve been pitching fine had he had the long rest
Boop
What kind of knucklehead considers having the World Series MVP (suggesting the Mets won the Series), to be the worst case scenario?
*rolls eyes*
Maybe it will be like in the 86 NLCS when Mike Scott got the MVP. I thought that was pretty wild but Scott was filthy that year. Cheatung bastid
Hi. Sorry, what was Tim Russert’s fault again?
I’d rather have Wright or Murphy or Reyes or Beltran be the MVP and not be on the hook for 16 million for the giant question mark that’ll be next year’s Delgado at the exclusion of signing Texarkana.
Call a dude crazy.
