2010 MLB Season Discussion

[Moss]

Anybody else listening to the Phillies radio broadcast? LA and Franske were talking about Rays minor league teams. One team is called the Biscuits which lead to "chicken and biscuits" to which Franske corrected as "chicken and waffles" which lead to, "So where is, Sarge, today?"

The Montgomery Biscuits are the shit. I went to one of their games back when Evan Longoria was there.

[Penthesilea]

I checked tickets for 12 different games tonight and 11 of them are already sold out. Its times like this I miss getting the free ticket stubs in the 700 level of the Vet from Phillies franks, and then being able to move down to the lower level after the 2nd inning without anyone giving a shit.

I usually just do Standing Room then go grab a table at Harry the K's. Plop down for the whole game, splitting a tab between 4-5 of us.

I enjoyed pretty much the entire game. Larry was pretty funny in the 9th or 10th when Flande gave up the lead and a bunch of jamshots/bloops/fistjobs, "Put those 5 hits together and they might have a line drive!"

Any idea if the Phillies.com game tomorrow is video or just audio? Hoping it's free as well... The MLB.com games were free to listen to one day and asked for a subscription when I looked recently.

If it was just me with some friends standing room would be fine, but I'm looking to bring the wife, 1.5 yo daughter, and my dad to a game. I know my dad would want a normal seat and I'm not sure a young kid would work anywhere but normal seats.

I talked to my uncle today, who is a full 81 game season ticket holder, and he said he has a friend that could get me almost any game I want for face value, so I'll just go that route if need be.

Its on TV on the MLB Network tomorrow. I tried to stream the audio from today's game from MLB.com and I got the subscription thing too. I guess it was just a few day long promotional thing. I thinks it kinda bullshit you have to pay for the audio stream but whatever.

Forgot who posted this but:

How does one watch shit on there? No directions as far as I could tell.

I was going to question whether or not the Yankees radio will have it then I realized I'd be listening to the their announcers.

[Bozo]

Time to follow that box score. Lead off homer by J-Roll!

[Cephius]

How dare you insult John "VOICE OF GOD" Sterling!

[Bozo]

If Joe Buck and Tim Mcarver aren't even Yankees announcers and I couldn't stand them... How am I supposed to like the Yankees announcers?!

3 more scoreless by Kyle Kendrick, 1 Hit, 1K.

[Cephius]

Actually I don't like them either. Sterling is horrible at describing what's going on, Waldman's voice is omfg-annoying. Even on YES... I hate Michael Kay, I don't like Paul O'neill's voice, John Flaherty is... eh. I like Kenny Singleton.

To be honest I think the Mets have the best broadcast crew

Joe+Boog>all

I miss Harry Kalas.

Oh and the Marlins guys are also really bad. "Here's the pitch... ground ball to short... AND BONIFACIO BEATS IT OUT! OMFG! HE BEAT IT OUT FOR A 2 OUT SINGLE! LET'S GO MARLINS!!!!"

[Bozo]

Brian Anderson or whatever his name that did Phillies NLDS showed pretty much no emotion. Of course you're all aware of my constant bitching of how the TV announcers sucked in the post season.

[Moss]

It's not just BP power!

Jason Heyward homered during a five-run first inning Monday and the Atlanta Braves went on to a 12-4 exhibition victory over the Detroit Tigers.

The 20-year-old outfielder, considered one of the top prospects in baseball, blasted a 3-2 pitch by Detroit's Max Scherzer an estimated 450 feet to drive in the first two runs of the game.

Scherzer didn't get out of the first inning, giving up four hits and three walks to the eight batters he faced.

[Akiyama]

Vengeance for him pretty much owning Atlanta last year?

[Alderaan]

This is why i loved Skip Caray and Joe Simpson when the Braves were still on TBS. Most of the time they weren't even talking about baseball. Personally, when i'm watching baseball on TV, i don't need pitch by pitch calls. It's prolly cause i grew up watching Phil Rizzuto calling games on WPIX. They would show replays of homeruns and you'd here Phil shout "holy cow he hit another one", not realizing it was a replay.

I know i'm jinxing it but damn, Braves won 86 games with McCann leading the team with 21 hr's and 94 rbi's. I can't see them being that bad on offense this year. Now, can we make up for the loss on Vasquez is my concern.

[Cephius]

Joe Nathan needs Tommy John surgery. That fucking blows for the Twins. He could be done.

That and did you see Heyward's bomb? Just holy shit at that kid. Comparisons of him and other greats coming in left and right. I really hope he starts in the majors this year, sort of like Schafer last year, only he does way better. If McCann has another great year, and Glaus is at least a little productive.. not to mention Wagner, Saito, and Hudson stay healthy, we could have a dangerous team. Obviously those are huuuge ifs, so we'll see, but I wanna see what Heyward can do against big league guys.
