Bineaz:

You are probbaly under the covers. The Dodgers are in the drivers seat, although home field advantage is not all that much in L>A. I'm going to Dodger stadium to catch me a nosebleed.

Go Blue!!!

Wew have no subway that comes anywhere near Dodger stadium. Closest is Union Station, about 3 miles away, uphill. They recently started up a shuttle bus. It's fucking cool.


Be ready to get swept. The Blue is peaking as we speak.
I'll take you ona friendly wager, if you still desire it.

And if we have a Dodgers/Angels Series, is it a US 10 Series?

If the Fakers meet the Dodgers it will be a 5 Freeway series. The 5 is the only freeway that connects directly. Only in America can you ride the train to see The Mouse and catch a baseball game the same day.

But the Angles are going down to the Red Sox.

You read it here first!!

I just realized I got the wrong highway number. US 10 runs south to San Diego if I remember correctly.

I have paid so little attention to baseball. We have the Dodgers, Cubs and who else in the NL? And in the AL, the two Soxes, Angels and who else am I missing?

you got it mixed up ... The 10 runs east-west... you can take it from LA all the way to Jacksonville, Florida. The 5 runs North and south.. from TJ up to Canada.

Tough loss for the Cubbies but in the end it was Dempster who blew it. He had little control although I thought the ump was squeezing the strike zone a bit. He should have never, ever given up that granny to Loney. What was it... an 0-2 count? Not surprised that Manny hit a bomb to straight away center. One of the greatest hitters we've ever seen and 1st ballot HOFr.

Go Red Sox! They win last night in Anaheim and continue their domination of the Angels in the post season.

Hate the Phillies but I can't see Milwaukee winning more than 1 game in this series.

Yes, I did get it mixed and realized afterwards. I should have known better knowing the 5's run north/south and the 0's east/west. I am just use to higher numbers like 95 and 70 in my parts and got confused.

many of the highway numbers in the other coast are high.... I've driven the 5 from Stockton all the way down to LA then got on the 10 to go to El Paso, Tx. Not a very fun drive; especially at night.

CRAP. That sums it up. Dempster didn't have it all night. I saw it clearly from the first inning. Seven walks. WTF? Piniella should have had a shorter leash. For the second straight year he mishandles the pitching in the first game.

The players pretty much slept walked the whole game. A little tense perhaps or just choking? Starting from the top, the highest paid mercenary Soriano went 0-5. He can't even hold Manny Ramirez's strap. Lou made another bone head move by taking Theriot and batting him eighth. He's our only .300 hitter and has been a spark plug all year long. In the stretch run for the playoffs, Lou gave up on Fukudome's hitting. I understand him putting Fuke out there for defense as it looked to be a low scoring game coming in, but to bat him second, even against a RH pitcher, was a glamour move; i.e., stupid. D.P. Lee isn't the great hitter he's perceived to be. Edmonds and Soto were so so; i.e., not good enough. Only my guy DeRosa managed something.

I know the crowd seemed shell-shocked but we have to expect better from the players. It's gut check time, starting from Lou's ample one down to the 25th guy. I expect Big Z(ambrano) to finally be a BIG player when we really need it. Call it faithful thinking.

palo,

Yes, you have to be happy the Dodgers are peaking at the right time. And they have top-notch pitching, but I ain't hiding. Even in the face of a 24-4 record in DLCS play for the team that wins the first game, give me sufficient consideration and I'm still up for the wager. If I'm gonna die, die hard. The reward, whenever achieved, will be even sweeter.

FORZA CUBS FORZA

You are on. The Cubs are against the wall. I wish we were going 5 games.

bineaz

Don't lose the faith. It ain't over till it's over. Now they must buckle down in LA.

Dam those Phillies. CC took a dive last night. How the hec could he let Victorino hit a granny?

Rays looked good in their 1st win. We'll see how Ozzie responds.

What can I say? I feel great disappointment. A bitter taste. Agido. But as my Dad always said: i Cubs 'un ti mettano sordi 'na sachetta. (The Cubs don't put money in my pocket.)

I've been following this team all year and that was their worst performance. The defense was atrocious. I'm glad I decided to DVR the beginning and watch the debate so I missed the 2d inning.

Thanks Casati. The fat lady hasn't sung yet, though she doesn't seem to be standing in the way of the Dodgers, who really have brought their game. Credit to them. palo, a wager is academic at this point.

BAH

WE will sweep you but it's all good. The Cubbies will go gently into the night.



Should I practice my tag line for you:


Pabs Palin is an ignorant racist bitch with lipstick.



My name is Binez and I aprove this message!!!

Bineaz:

Where are thou?

up in ya...

I am sorry about the Cubs Bineaz:

I have known miseryfor 20 years behind the Dodgers but I have been blessed to see them win it all in 1981 and the incredible 1988 run.
My condolences. I dedicate my brooms to you.

Oh geez... I feel for you bineaz. I still can't believe the Cubs went down the way they did.

Thank you gentlemen.

I'll have a further comment once I stop vomiting (it may be a while).

Bineaz:

YOu forgot the footnote. My name is Pabs, and I aprove this message.

Why isn't anyone interested in baseball anymore?

Well if you're bored, why not take a broom handle and shove it far up your ass.

he he he.

Don't hate on me for living in Dodger town.

Bineaz 1 Palo 0 (and with a sore ass)

Palo's Dodgers : 3

Bineaz Cubs: 0

hehehe

Actually, the Dodgers have always been a favored team for me as I like the three teams I played on in little league: Dodgers, Giants, Yankees.

Anyway, I can't even think about it. I'm still in denial and grief.

It's tough. Specially when a team has a great regular season. I am a Red Sox fan too. Anybody that hates the Yankees is a frined of mine. I also hate the hated liberal Giants.

Glad to see the Red Sox advance. Now that's going to be a great series (Sox-Rays). Do you throw out the regular season and try to determine who will win? Let me tell you: they are evenly matched.

I hope to dear God that the Dodgers pummel the Phillies. But it's not going to happen. I'm afraid that the Phillies will advance to the WS.

Bah. May God not hear you.

Joe Torre is the man. Too bad he has Yankee blood in his veins. can't be perfect I suppose.

Disgraced Montgomery sentenced to five years

NORFOLK, Virginia (AFP) — Disgraced former 100-meter world record holder Tim Montgomery was sentenced to five years in prison here Friday after the former athletics star admitted to distributing heroin last year.

The mandatory five-year sentence will be served on top of a four-year prison term the 33-year-old American had received in New York earlier for his role in a checking fraud conspiracy, the Virginian-Pilot reported.

Montgomery, who pleaded guilty in federal court last July to heroin distribution charges, apologized to the sentencing judge and his family, which includes a son Tim born to another disgraced US track star, Marion Jones.

US Drug Enforcement Administration agents said Montgomery sold 111 grams of heroin to an undercover informant for about 8,500 dollars, with four meetings between Montgomery and the informant videotaped by the federal authorities.

Montgomery was sentenced to three years and 10 months last May for his role in the check fraud scheme after pleading guilty to conspiracy and bank fraud in April of last year.

Montgomery set a world 100m record of 9.78 seconds in Paris in 2002 that was stricken from the books in 2005 after he was issued a two-year doping ban for links to the BALCO steroid scandal, a punishment that led to his retirement.

While Montgomery never failed a drug test, his admission of using a once-undetectable steroid in 2001 to BALCO investigators in 2003 was enough to see him stripped of his 2000 Sydney Olympic gold medal from the US 4x100m relay.

who cares about track and field.

it's part of the "other crap" related to this thread.

I thought you were the other crap?

'sup shorty ?

Klitschko reclaims title



THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

BERLIN -- Vitali Klitschko reclaimed the WBC belt and fulfilled a self-proclaimed dream to hold a heavyweight title at the same time as his brother, stopping Samuel Peter with a technical knockout Saturday night.

Peter chose not to come back out after eight rounds that saw him weaving and occasionally wobbling as Klitschko landed a persistent stream of heavy left jabs to Peter's head in front of more than 12,000 people at the new O2 World Arena.

The 37-year-old Ukrainian fighter (36-2, 35 KOs) used his height -- he's six-foot-seven -- and reach to keep Peter crouched and defensive.

Wladimir Klitschko, widely considered the most talented among the chaotic field of so-called heavyweight champions, holds the IBF, IBO and WBO heavyweight belts -- and dealt Peter his only previous loss, in September 2005 in a 12-round unanimous decision.

Peter, a 28-year-old Nigerian-born fighter, kept a tight defensive stance and managed to plant a series of solid body shots on his towering opponent. But after eight rounds he hadn't worked consistently inside Klitschko's massive reach.

Klitschko told reporters after the fight that he wouldn't have needed much longer to deliver on a promise to end the fight by knockout.

"If Samuel Peter didn't stop the fight, I have the feeling in the next two rounds, I would have knocked him out," Klitschko said. "He got more and more punches, and his chin (was) not so strong as the first rounds."

Klitschko has been WBC "champion emeritus" since a knee injury forced him to withdraw from a fight and retire from boxing in 2005.

The honorary status gave him the right to fight Peter (30-2), who won the interim belt in a fight against Jameel McCline last September, whenever Klitschko chose to come out of retirement.

"I knew if I lost the fight I wouldn't get a second chance," Klitschko told reporters after the fight. "It was a one-way ticket, and I used my chance."

Klitschko is a three-time champion who won the WBC title in 2004 with an eight-round victory over Corrie Sanders. The Peter fight was Klitschko's first since he defended the crown with an eighth-round win over Danny Williams in Las Vegas in 2004.

Klitschko's performances as a powerful puncher have often been overshadowed by injury. In 2005, he withdrew from a WBC title fight with Hasim Rahman because of a torn ligament in his right knee. The injury led him to announce his retirement, and the WBC made him "champion emeritus." Last fall, he announced a comeback fight against Jameel McCline, only to back out after hurting his back and undergoing emergency surgery.

Promoter Don King said after the fight that a logical next step for Klitschko might be to seek a rematch with the retired Lennox Lewis, whom Klitschko lost to in 2003 when a fight doctor called the bout because Klitschko had a badly cut eye.

"What a triumph that would be for us old guys," King said.

Klitschko was more reticent.

"I need to think about it," he said of plans for his newly revived fighting career. "I need to take care of my hand, because it is swollen."

Klitschko seemed more willing to joke about a hypothetical matchup with his brother -- which both have said is out of the question.

"You know what? I like this belt very much," he quipped as he picked up one of the three title belts Wladimir had brought with him to the press conference, where he sat beside Vitali.

"Watch yourself now, brother," Wladimir shot back.

.Peter declined to attend the post-fight press conference, but his manager Ivaylo Gotzev said the loss put Peter on "the comeback trail."

"We've been here before, and we're going to go back and look at the tape and see what we need to work on," Gotzev said.

.In an undercard fight, heavyweight Odlanier Solis improved to 12-0 and grabbed the WBC international heavyweight belt by beating American Chauncy Welliver (34-5-5, 13 KOs) in the ninth round. Belarussian Alexander Ustinov (13-0, 11 KOs) dealt a heavy-handed knockout to Detroit's Julius Long (15-10, 13 KOs) in the first round of another heavyweight matchup.

Good old Dodgers put an ass kicking to Philadelphia to stay alive.

LOL!

I will say that if he races and WINS the Giro along with the Tour next year, I will respect him more as a cyclist than ever before.

He won't. It's a publicity stunt. He can't beat Contador and Contador won't accept second place in his team. Won't take away anything from Armstrongs career, we both know where to place him anyway. But he won't win the Giro or the Tour at age 38. And he knows it. If it was about winning he wouldn't race the Giro, he never did before, no risk about not getting into top shape for the Tour.

And the whole think is getting ridiculous with Vino announcing a return as well... Wants to win the Giro with Astana.... who's next, Hinault?
