2008 MLB Playoffs

[SabresRule]

At least Buck doesn't get overly excited about a "can of corn" play in the field.

Make that a 1-9 team...

Sorry,
but this crew is the worst LCS crew that I've ever heard (and yes, I too can't stand Buck).

It's just a bad mix all around, Bill. Each of the three has individual merits. But instead of having "The Three Tenors", it's like mixing Frank Sinatra with L.L. Cool J and George Strait!!!

What I would give to hear Scully/Garagiola, Costas/Kubek or even Michaels/Palmer/McCarver (when Tim was actually good)!


Those were the days for GREAT postseason announcers!

Time to break out what is, IMO, one of the most amazing stats in sports. IF the Red Sox lose either tomorrow OR Thursday, you'll be seeing this stat a lot:


Since 1999 the Red Sox have played in 17 postseason elimination games............they are 14-3 in those games!!!

Phillies up on Dodgers, 2-1 after 1.

My personal favorite pairing was Scully/ Garagiola. A few years ago while in Phoenix, Vinny sat down with Joe for a chat. It was absolutely hilarious! The years melted away and the old friends began to tell stories as only they can. PRICELESS!!!

Yuck. With the Browns/Giants game being broadcast locally on our FOX affiliate, the NLCS game has been moved to channel: My Network TV, in lowly standard definition. It's barely viewable.

Why is it that My Network doesn't have an HD feed? They have some pretty good shows, but I can't stand watching SD any more!

FOX? I thought it was on ESPN.

I have no idea, but this channels SD feed seems even worse than most other SD feeds.

It's being simulcast on the Fox affiliate in Cleveland.


When the Pats are on ESPN or NFLN, their games are simulcast on Boston's ABC affiliate.

It has to be on OTA in local markets (NY/Cleveland)

You didn't care for Michaels/Palmer/McCarver, Jimbo?

 

[SabresRule]

You didn't care for Michaels/Palmer/McCarver, Jimbo?

He doesn't like McCarver.

 

[BillD1984]

He doesn't like McCarver.

Gotcha. I don't blame him, although I found him a little more tolerable in his ABC days.

I thought Al Michaels was a superb baseball play-by-play guy.

 

[BillD1984]

Ramirez ties it with an RBI single.

Still no one out in the bottom of the 5th................tied at 2.

 

[Jimbo]

You didn't care for Michaels/Palmer/McCarver, Jimbo?

I liked the others much better, never have liked McCarver either


Joe and Tony were great back in the day.
I like Joe Morgan and (da** I can never remember the other guy)

I caught a little bit of Vin Scully tonight on the Dodgers' network on XM.
Vin and Ernie Harwell will always be right up there in my book.

[BillD1984]

Phillies tie it again.

 

[BillD1984]

Tied up again, 5-5 .........top of 8th.
