Fuck a movie. I'm leaving 30 minutes early to watch the game.

But it's the original Halloween! On the big screen!

But it's the original Halloween! On the big screen!

World Series with your team though. Arent' you a Tigers fan?

 

[DUFFMCWALIN]

Theres no way the Giants beat Verlander has now changed to theres no way the Giants can win in Detroit! Never change media.

It doesn't matter to me that few picked the giants to win. It doesn't mean that I'm going to suddenly root for a different team. This is baseball not professional wrestling.

I know. The media just tickles my funny bone.

 

[see5harp]

I know. The media just tickles my funny bone.

On paper many picked The Tigers for the world series at the START of the season and when they finally got hot at the end to get in, I can see why they are favorites. It's not just Verlander pitching well, the entire starting pitching has been great. We all know that it doesn't mean much in baseball to be a favorite though. The 2010 Giants and 2011 Cardinals were not favored either. Even if I expected for Scutaro and Panda to have great games I can't say I expected Panda to hit 3. Hell, even Zito has been lights out. Even during the crazy stretch of Zito starts dating back to the season, his ERA was still approaching or over 4 and may have even been higher than Bumgarner's who was "struggling." It's unexplainable most of the time, I'm just trying to go along for the ride.

Just pretend it's 2010 when there were just 3 or 4 of us!

Make or break for the Tigers tonight. If they lose, no way do I see the Tigers going 4 outta 5 against this team.

Best of luck. I did Geek Squad installs and wanted to purposely fall down a flight of stairs every night.

[lazybones18]

Cool. I decided to stick with infield box seats.

 

[NEOPARADIGM]

^ Yeah, little disappointed with sec. 142 (might as well be the bleachers), but I'll be there.

 

[The Mana Legend]

I can't tell of Miguel Cabrera is super ripped or just got fat.

 

[clemenx]

I can't tell of Miguel Cabrera is super ripped or just got fat.

He's ripped over the fat. Or the other way around, I can't tell.

 

[Dominican Power]

He's ripped over the fat. Or the other way around, I can't tell.

All that matters is that he can rip the seams off a baseball.

 

[Mr. Enigma]

ESPN is reporting Mariano Rivera contacted Brian Cashman to tell him he's having second thoughts and may now retire.

 

[darkside31337]

No way. Mo can't go out like that. I refuse to believe it.

 

[cashman]

ESPN is reporting Mariano Rivera contacted Brian Cashman to tell him he's having second thoughts and may now retire.

I wouldn't play with a bunch of weak willed quitters either.

 

[Jswanko]

Lol at Lou Seal "Scutaro-ing"

 

[Malo]

Yeah, I have a hard time believing Mo is going to retire after the acl injury. He'll be back.

Spoiler

Please don't retire

 

[The Awesomest]

Doug Fister

Here's how this is gonna go: Doug Fister is going to give up one or two, maybe three runs. Tigers will lose. That's the Doug Fister way.

We miss you, Doug.

If you love something, set it free
If it returns then it was meant to be

 

[The Mana Legend]

Who is ready?! LETS DO THIS GIANTS

 

[Jswanko]

FOX trotting this guy out again? Guess there aren't a lot of FOX shows with people who can sing. Saturday night: Zooey Deschanel

 

[CrankyJay]

Wow, damn fine pitch by that marine.

 

[Dmncnby2k9]

Before first pitch, final ratings are in

The Giants' 8-3 win over the Tigers set a record low television rating for a World Series opener, according to an ESPN.com report.

Fox said Wednesday night's game received a 7.6 rating and 12 share, and that it was seen by 12.2M viewers, according to national ratings by Nielsen Media Research.

 

[weekend_warrior]

That was a pretty good throw from the Marine.

 

[Officerrob]

Amazing pitch by that Marine

 

[Jack Scofield]

Wow, damn fine pitch by that marine.

Seriously. Probably better than what I could do.

Let's do this, Giants.

 

[MechaX]

Hm... on one hand, I would love the Tigers to just go beast mode on the Giants for what they did to the Cards (or rather... further facilitating what the Cards ended up doing to themselves).

On the other hand, seeing the Giants channel the Juggernaut is entertaining in its own right despite what they did to my team.

I'm conflicted.

 

[DUFFMCWALIN]

Sitting here in rails class but I'll be watching the game online. Lets go boys.

 

[The Mana Legend]

Oh shit, 2 for 2 with the strikeouts already.

San Fran Gods will never quit.

 

[ZeroRay]

Missed the marine pitch.

Looks like Bumgartner's coming in hawt!

 

[beast786]

man does not feel good

 

[Windu]

that was quick. already going to the 2nd.

 

[The Mana Legend]

Good showing by Fister, but he looks hittable.

 

[see5harp]

First pitch Panda testing to see if he still had the magic powers.

 

[NEOPARADIGM]

Was that game even sold out? Noticed a lot of empty LF upper deck seats; didn't notice if they filled up. And it's not like we're talking 70,000 or 100,000 seats either.

Ya it was sold out. I saw that as well. Standing room tickets were going for 500 dollars.

 

[Coldnoodle]

Prince Fatler

 

[Windu]

lol fat ass

 

[Jack Scofield]

Fucking NICE.

 

[see5harp]

You really don't want to run there IMO. That was a clear out.

 

[Malo]

lol fatty

 

[The Mana Legend]

Holy shit, I didn't notice this last night, but the Tigers really seem to have a weight problem. Most runners would have been safe with that.

Really bad call by the third base coach.
