The pitching matchup we only dreamed of

 

[MakMan44]

I haven't been able to stay awake for the entirety of any of the games, I wish there was at least one 4 PM start. 

 

[Mystic Merlin]

I can't believe Ryan Vogelsong is fucking starting a World Series Game.

 

[Orel Miraculous]

I can't believe Ryan Vogelsong is fucking starting a World Series Game.

 
He shut the Tigers down in 2012.

 

[Dan to Theo to Ben]

4th starters routinely start the 4th World Series game.

Did CC Sabbathia not get the memo?

 

[jimc]

It'll be the shortest of leashes for Vogey tonight. Petit has to be allowed to make an impact on this series and it has to be today. If Lincecum's healthy I'd like to see Bochy piece together 6 or 7 from those 3 one way or another.

 

[Frank Fenway]

Timmy's coming in the strike out the side in the fifth...down 10 runs.

We're still getting some heavy showers here. Will be interesting to see what things are like in 3.5 hours.

 

[Dan to Theo to Ben]

What's the overall history on World Series rains, they just postpone immediately and don't like delays, right?

Where are you? It hasn't been raining at all today south of the Mission.

Oakland hills. Still showers on and off. I'll blame it on the elevation?
 
Edit: Nothing AT ALL? We've gotten 13 millimeters of rain here and counting. Most of it before 8 AM...
 
Edit #2. Huh. Yeah, the weather stations nearest to Giants Stadium show at most about 4mm of rain, and nothing after the morning. Huh. Yay for orographic lift! I need the rain!

[Tangled Up In Red]

Interesting, Perez over Morse

 

[E5 Yaz]

Bochy has Juan Perez in LF vs a LHP. Said Morse "has not been out there in 2 months." And it's going to be a breezy night.

 

[mauidano]

Weather looks pretty good on TV at AT&T. No tarp on the field, just the usual one on the mound. Not a topic with the talking heads.
 
Play ball!

You Californians really measure rain in millimeters?

You've gone metric in Oakland. Sorry, Oakland hills.

Only Oakland/Oakland Hills.

 

[h8mfy]

Yep. And 20% chances of rain are lead stories on the news

 

[Al Zarilla]

Woke up, got outta bed, looked outside and everything was wet. I had forgotten what that looked like.

 

[johnmd20]

Awful anthem.

The other big wind day in the playoffs in SF, even Hunter Pence completely misjudged a ball in right, as did Grichuk. Maybe the wind is the big equalizer and it doesn't matter a lot who's playing the outfield? 

 

[Tangled Up In Red]

Anthem was awesome. Carlos!

 

[Papo The Snow Tiger]

Jimi Hendrix is spinning somewhere

 

[johnmd20]

Painfully awkward Rob Lowe is much funnier than creepier Rob Lowe.

 

[Tangled Up In Red]

Second disagreement off the thread johnmd. I love creepy Rob Lowe

 

[rembrat]

Big mistake from the Giants not starting their ace.

 

[Curll]

Watching the ESPN broadcast is much better than Fox. No Buck, no Reynolds.

You and I, we will have words.

 

[Al Zarilla]

Vogey looked good in the first.

Metric is the one true god. Tell me again what the English units for electric potential are?

 

[Curll]

Did the Giants just injure a Royal with their infield?

 

[glasspusher]

This stadium is better than old yankee stadium and the best for a game? Please. I mean, it's good...

 

[Oppo]

SF has the best atmosphere of any ballpark?

Recency bias.

Thinking about it, he must mean the least smog and pollution.

Volt from the Italian Volta, Amp from the French Ampere, Ohm from the German of the same name, Watt, Scottish. What is your point?

Those are all SI, therefore metric, units.
 
Trivia: Name the one SI unit named for someone who was born in the United States.

 

[rembrat]

He was out.

He was safe.

 

[Al Zarilla]

He was out.

He was safe.

At second or third?

 

[glasspusher]

Vargas needs to settle down.

 

[Tangled Up In Red]

Infield in, in the first?!

 

[glasspusher]

Infield in, in the first?!

 
Playoff Yost

 

[dcmissle]

"He knows a change up is coming ..."

I'm sorry but you don't get that from the vast majority of color men in real time.

Just as you don't get from color men in real time the deke from the CF on the run scoring double.

But go ahead, bash HR ..
