Last Call: Where It’s Still 2002
Miranda Kerr appreciates a good ol' pitching duel
As I write this, Pedro Martinez and Vicente Padilla are currently locked in a pitching duel in game 2 of the Phillies/Dodgers NLCS. If you had told me this would happen in April, I would have kindly directed you to the nearest insane asylum. This is a match-up you would have expected in 2002, when Pedro had a 2.26 ERA for the Sawx and Padilla a 3.28 ERA for the Phils. But now Pedro (the former Dodger) is pitching for the Phillies and Padilla is a Dodger. Postseason baseball is muy peculiar.
As for the other match-up, we have CC Sabathia and the Yanks hosting Lackey and the Angels. I expect the Yankees to win as Hank Steinbrenner and Bud Selig each jump for joy in their respective luxury boxes.
Song of the Night: Philly’s finest The Roots get the honor as the Phillies are pushing for the 2-0 lead in the NLCS.

Ideal World Series match-up for a best baseball match-up? I say Yankees-Phillies.
Have a good weekend people.
You DO realize that I’ll put the link in the bumper ahead of time if you let me know about it, right?
Might want to shoot Mech a message on Twitter or something.
Gahh…. that John & Paul & George & Ringo shirt is… full of awesomeosity… I need to find that in fat man size stat.
Good evening folks. Entertain me while I’m at work?
If anyone is really bored and wants to listen to me broadcast a college soccer game you can do so here http://www.wfuv.org/sports/streams.html Click on the listen link for the Mens game and hear the melodious tones of my voice.
I want Phillies/Angels. But if the Yankees go I hop the Dodger go, so Torre can beat them, then slap o’l Hank in the face with his junk.
@Dave
The last thing I want is a Dodgers-Yankees series. If you thought ESPN and Fox were bad about Britfarr, wait until you get the Torre-Yankees story shoved down our throats for two solid weeks. Fuck and No.
I agree. I don’t want either Yankees or Dodgers. But if one goes I want both, I hate the Yankees and I would love to see Joe beat them, he’s a class act, and Hank is a fuck.

Well duh. Everyone knows the NLCS doesn’t happen until October.
Hey, had a bad day, who wants to have a drink with me and root for the Angels?
What the fuck is Teixeira wearing?
the hand of a homeless person. I have no idea. I am at work and cannot see.
@Rickyfitts
Also at work and can’t see, but I’m assuming it’s either a life preserver that says SS Minnow or Jason Giambi’s leftover thong.
Ear muffs, actually. They’re all wearing them.
It’s so they can’t hear Vince Vaughn swearing.
@rickyfitts
Earmuffs? At a baseball game? How uncouth.
fucking sissies
My reaction exactly.
Good job on the Miranda Kerr selection. A thorough examination of her portfolio suggests she may just the smallest tad of Jerry’s kid in her, but that’s not necessarily a bad thing.
I promise you there was a “have” before the “just” in my comment, and then it disappeared. The Rookies are getting rapey with my grammar parts.
The next time you need to illustrate to someone just how unfair life is, tell them that Andrei Kirilenko makes over 16 million per season.
