Print... let's plays none!
That's how it's looking at this point. The forecast calls for 'showers,' 42 degrees and 60% precipitation at first pitch.
Anyway, feel free to discuss the NLCS here. It's Clayton Kershaw vs. Cole Hamels tonight in L.A. Game time temperature is 69 degrees with 10% precipitation. Ah, the dream of SoCal...

Just got some tix on stubhub for game 1
I’m reeeeeaaaalllly hoping the game is played. At least if they play I can move from the grandstand down to stand under the roof by home plate!
+1
Or just figure out how to add a giant umbrella to the current stadium.

No no no
REAL men sit and get wet and cold when there are simple solutions to this problem.

REAL MEN
actually PREFER rain, snow, sleet, hail and getting struck by lightning. put a huge lightning rod on top of the stadium and hook it into every seat. only pansies would oppose that!
I like watching Kershaw pitch. He comes over the top so quickly it surprises me a little every time.

How cruel
To make us wait all week for a rainout. Here’s praying for a break in the skies tomorrow.

from what I understand
there will be some kind of window to play the game tomorrow night though I don’t know how long of a delay but i am still annoyed at MLB for not moving the games up a few days since the Division Series all ended early.
You couldn’t upset the networks like that! It’s not like we’ve been 48 hours with no baseball. It would have been just impossible to tell the AL teams to be ready to go in NY the day after the last NLDS ended! (/sarcasm)

Everyone I’ve heard keeps picking the Dodgers in 6 or 7 games. But with their pitching, I don’t think a sweep is impossible.
"Have faith in the Yankees, my son. Think of the great DiMaggio."
yea....
as in Phillies sweep?

I’ve underestimated Howard most of his career- I keep waiting for the wheels to fall off a la D’Mitre Young or Ortiz.
But he’s a great hitter, really incredible bat speed makes up for his long swing.
"Have faith in the Yankees, my son. Think of the great DiMaggio."
And he responds with a big double.
"Have faith in the Yankees, my son. Think of the great DiMaggio."
The guy is legit.
When 45HR and 141RBI is arguably your worst year, you’re doing something right.
He’s also gotten infinitely better with the glove since he started.

The Phillies bats are so strong...
…and they do have Cliff Lee.
Dodgers in 6-7 sounds right. And a certain matchup (I will not say it to prevent the jinx) would be off the drama/revenge scale.
I agree
But historically speaking, the other matchup would be interesting too. Check out the 1950 World Series. It was second of 5 for a championship laden team.
"Have faith in the Yankees, my son. Think of the great DiMaggio."
LOL...
of course.
If being dominant in the third inning meant the game was over…there’s be a line stretching from Cooperstown to China with HOFers….

Did anyone doubt Manny was going to kill that pitch?
"Have faith in the Yankees, my son. Think of the great DiMaggio."
I thought to myself
Base open for Manny….but there’s no way they let the tying run come to the plate…..but there’s still a base open for Manny.
And he went and did it.

Definitely
Do you think Hamels was victimized by the Verducci effect or just having an off year?
Because he seems nowhere as dominant as last year.

Definitely overuse.
He started having trouble in Spring Training.

This
is why I don’t complain about the Joba/Hughes rules.
