11/2: Open World Series Game 5 Thread

That was a great game, with a great ending. To me it looked like he touched the plate, and I’ve never really seen anything absolute that shows otherwise.

Plus holy shit that was ballsy.

Kirk - November 2, 2009 reply

No kidding. A Boise State level of entertainment.

Zygomorphic - November 2, 2009 reply

I never saw a conclusive replay either.

Zygomorphic - November 2, 2009 reply

Upon further reflection, you're right

The play really wasn’t all that clear. Maybe he did, maybe he didn’t. So you have a good point about that. And I never denied that the game had great moments, and the ending was exciting, but the only thing is I guess I wish it was more clear. As do you guys, I’m sure, I like to KNOW that the winner was rightful, but still y’all are right that it was overall a classic.

Sober Mark Grace is boring.

Player of the Game: Cliff Lee

Why does the media hate Chase Utley?

Rollo Tomasi - November 2, 2009 reply

There's only room for one white middle infielder

and his name is Derek Jeter

Corco - November 2, 2009 reply

wouldn't that still leave half a space for another infielder?

msb - November 2, 2009 reply

Too much grease in his hair?

44FAN - November 2, 2009 reply

That was far more difficult than it needed to be.

Thanks Raul!

There is no way to phonetically transcribe Ozzie Guillen.

and what’s the deal with Karros’ hair?

Something amazing: Chase Utley has a 1.121 OPS in the 2009 playoffs

Something more amazing: Albert Pujols has a 1.108 OPS since 2008

Jeff Sullivan - November 2, 2009 reply

Pujols was disappointing this year!

Poochie - November 2, 2009 reply

So is that like 110%, or 112.1% because I'm bad at the maths

Kermit. - November 2, 2009 reply

Looking at Albert Pujols' career stats always makes me gape in awe

Gihyou - November 3, 2009 reply

Me too, but then...

I remember that he plays in the NL central and I begin to wonder, is he really the best right hander of all time or is he just a very good right hander who looks like the best ever because of where he plays?

No need to be so hyperbolic, Jeff.

AJ Burnett again?!

Better him than Sabathia.

Wait, maybe I'm thinking of Andy Pettitte.

Sabathia pitched last night

Yeah, like I'm watching the world series

That's my motto!

Let me borrow that top.

Okay!

We should have had a Not Watching the World Series party.

That party is every night at my house.

This is a little tight on me, but I like it!

Go baseball!

I can hardly believe it's still happening!

When does the fun START?

Gooooo Cliff Lee

I still can't believe Tampa Bay had the Backstreet Boys singing the National Anthem last year.

DON'T SAY THAT

Then I would move to Venezuela where there is baseball.

.

That one on the leg looks ouchie.

He'll have to have some fluid drained, for sure!

And there may be a visit to Dr James Andrews in his future, as well.

DAMMIT

Lucky Yankees, all their hit balls fall in or find a hole.

They're famous, but only rockstars get that kind of play

Even better, it appears Lee's getting squeezed

And Burnett, as well ...

Yep, guess it's just a tight zone tonight

Joe West is first base umpire, should make for some blown calls at least.

He's lucky he didn't eat that ball.

CHASE UTLEY!!!!

GOOD GOD I LOVE CHASE UTLEY

Utley goes deep!

Baseball needs more Chase Utleys.

8 WAR players with 4 WAR stardom?

Utley has been crazy good this series.

He must be Clutch.

Hey guys, how's the world series going?

More interesting than last night so far.

So, if the guy who was supposed to have tarped off your deck, and cut a herking big hole in it, didn't do it and he is late for the 5:00 appointment to fix the faucet

Yes.

The Yanks seem to be excelling at stall tactics this series.

A woman I work with has been very tolerant about all this

You set it on fire, right?

I didn't even accidently knock it down and trample on it ....

I love how the trampling would also occur

Whoa! WS games on back to back nights

In the old days, George would have been agitating to get Utley in pinstripes, NOW.

Looks like Victorino is out of the game.

Probably out of the series. I'm betting that finger is broken.

Gameday still shows him in the lineup

"Yanks' mound meetings slow Series, give MLB pause"

He's Werth his weight in gold!

I wonder how much the Dodgers are kicking themselves for letting him go.

Rauuul!

Rauuuuuuuuuuuuuuulll!

Go suck the barbed cock of you-know-who, A.J.

Seriously, what a shameful showing by Burnett.

Needless to say, I'm delighted by his dishonor.

I hope this alliteration was unintentional, because that would ruin it.

Totally unintentional

Yay Raul, clutchy.

The Phillies are slow base runners.

I wanna see Cliff Lee work his way on base here.

ASK AND I SHALL RECEIVE

So I guess there will be more baseball.

Jon Miller just reminded us that there was still time for the Yanks to come back

This reminds me of the Mariners clobbering the yankees in Game 4 of the 2001 ALCS.

Ag-o-ny.

You mean game 3?

Was it?

I can't even recall anymore.
