Swisher calling Pettite and Berkman the Texas Two-Step

Here we go Rojos here we go

**McLegend** · 10-08-2010, 07:41 PM

The return of Chase Knoblauch is not a good thing to see.

**Emperor Smeat** · 10-08-2010, 07:54 PM

Once the playoffs are over, the MLBPA wants to have a meeting with the umpires union to discuss the issue of bad umpires, instant replay, and other stuff. This year had a spike in complaints by players and teams over the quality of umpires and other umpire-related issues.

The players want a better system to reward and punish umpires to make games and umpire quality better similar to the NFL and less like the NBA in public perception.

Nice job by Oswalt handling the 345 hitters.

**McLegend** · 10-08-2010, 08:26 PM

I would really prefer if both or at least one of these pitch trax were taken off the screen.

**Evil Vito** · 10-08-2010, 09:47 PM

I hope the guy whistling on every goddamn pitch in the Reds/Phillies game gets cancer and dies.

**Evil Vito** · 10-08-2010, 10:00 PM

A Yankees/Phillies World Series is now confirmed.

Fuck baseball.

**RoXer** · 10-08-2010, 10:00 PM

Wow

**Aguakate** · 10-08-2010, 10:01 PM

...You've got to be kidding me.

**Jeritron** · 10-08-2010, 10:01 PM

Damn

**Jeritron** · 10-08-2010, 10:01 PM

My deepest sympathies Mr. Olajuwan

**Jeritron** · 10-08-2010, 10:07 PM

I'll take Nervous Teams for 500, Alex

**Evil Vito** · 10-08-2010, 10:09 PM

Chase Utley is the luckiest person alive.

Gets on first via ball that may not have even hit him. Gets on second despite the throw probably beating him. Then he appears to miss third on the way around the bags.

Ridiculous.

**Aguakate** · 10-08-2010, 10:09 PM

The Reds are just juggling the ball all over the place.

Jay Bruce has to feel reeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeally small right now.

**McLegend** · 10-08-2010, 10:14 PM

I do think Utley's foot hit in the corner of 3b. I do think the ball hit him. I am not sure if he was really safe at 2nd though.

Very nice either way.

**Aguakate** · 10-08-2010, 10:15 PM

I wonder how big of a role the waving of the white towels had on Bruce dropping the ball.

**Supreme Olajuwon** · 10-08-2010, 10:26 PM

Life is funny.

**Supreme Olajuwon** · 10-08-2010, 10:30 PM

Let's give the Reds credit though. I didn't think it was humanly possible for them to lose a game in a more demoralizing way than they did in game 1. But they found a way. That's clutch baseball guys.

**McLegend** · 10-08-2010, 10:52 PM

That's pretty sweet.

**Aguakate** · 10-08-2010, 10:55 PM

Bittersweet, actually. To see a team lose like that, it sucks. Not a Reds fan, but still.

**Tb1** · 10-08-2010, 11:21 PM

Good start GIANTS

**Skippord** · 10-09-2010, 01:19 AM

Thank u.

**Skippord** · 10-09-2010, 02:05 AM

god Kyle Farnsworth sucks

**Skippord** · 10-09-2010, 02:06 AM

good work there Buster

**Evil Vito** · 10-09-2010, 02:07 AM

Wagner

sucks if that's how his career ends

If his injury is bad enough to pull him off of the NLDS roster, he'd become ineligible for the NLCS. Which means the Braves would have to make the WS for him to even have a chance to pitch again.

**McLegend** · 10-09-2010, 02:07 AM

That was a big time double play. One might even say clutch.

**DaveWadding** · 10-09-2010, 02:11 AM

Holy fuck Rick Ankiel.

**Skippord** · 10-09-2010, 02:12 AM

"Destroyer Of World's" Rick Ankiel

**McLegend** · 10-09-2010, 02:13 AM

That's a nice little moment.

**Evil Vito** · 10-09-2010, 02:17 AM

Rick Ankiel actually doing something right in the playoffs is fairly shocking

Tony Gwynn diagnosed with cancer

(From: espn.go.com/mlb)

SAN DIEGO -- Tony Gwynn, the prolific-hitting Hall of Fame outfielder who spent his entire 20-year career with the Padres, has been diagnosed with cancer of a salivary gland.

Gwynn, a 15-time All-Star voted into the Hall in the first year he was eligible in 2007, has had three procedures since 1997 to remove non-cancerous tumors to the largest salivary gland, he told the San Diego Union-Tribune.

But the latest operation last month discovered a malignant growth, he said.

"They took out three lymph nodes and did all the tests and the results showed cancer in the parotid," Gwynn told the newspaper Friday.

The 50-year-old Gwynn faces radiation and chemotherapy treatments. He says doctors have told him they feel they caught the cancer early and "there was not much of it there."

"They say this is a slow-moving but aggressive form of cancer," Gwynn told the Union-Tribune from his Poway home. "I'm going to be aggressive and not slow-moving in treating this."

Gwynn said he faces up to two months of radiation treatments, which he will undergo five times a week. He said he will have chemotherapy treatments once a week.

"I go in Monday for a consultation and I hope to immediately begin the treatments," Gwynn told the newspaper.

Gwynn said he thought the cancer was most likely related to his use of chewing tobacco throughout his career.

"I haven't discussed that with the doctors yet, but I'm thinking it's related to dipping," said Gwynn, who said he had failed to drop the habit despite the previous mouth procedures.

Dr. Kevin Brumund, a neck and throat specialist at the UCSD Moores Cancer Center, told the newspaper there have been no studies linking parotid cancer and chewing tobacco, which is now banned in minor league baseball.

Gwynn is San Diego State's baseball coach, and the school confirmed Gwynn's condition to The Associated Press. Gwynn plans to return to his alma mater, which he has coached since 2003.

Gwynn's son, Tony Gwynn Jr., is a reserve outfielder for the Padres in his second full big-league season.

Gwynn, who ranks 19th in MLB history as a career .338 hitter, is 18th in hits with 3,141.

Gwynn debuted in 1982 and appeared in his first of two World Series two years later during his first full season. The Padres fell to the Detroit Tigers in five games.

San Diego returned 14 years later but were swept by the New York Yankees. Gwynn retired three years later.

Gwynn told the Union-Tribune he had purposely held off going public about the procedures and was successful thanks to recurring back trouble.

"My back wasn't letting me to do anything and was keeping me away from the ballpark and the TV booth, so it was pretty easy not to say anything," Gwynn said. "Although the back is still an issue, it is getting better. Right now, the back feels good. I can stand up.

"But I had to be upfront with my team about the cancer."

**Nervous Ferret** · 10-09-2010, 02:19 AM

I refuse to believe Kyle Farnsworth is going to close this game out. There is no way

**DaveWadding** · 10-09-2010, 02:22 AM

lol yeah, I just remembered that Farnsworth is pitching

**Skippord** · 10-09-2010, 02:24 AM

Kyle "Flyball" Farnsworth

**Evil Vito** · 10-09-2010, 02:25 AM

Good. I'm glad one of these series isn't a total rout.

**Nervous Ferret** · 10-09-2010, 02:27 AM

Boy is there egg on my face now or what.......................................

**McLegend** · 10-09-2010, 02:28 AM

Is Chris Singleton growing a goatee to help his blackness?

Cause if he is I think it's workin.

**Boomer** · 10-09-2010, 02:42 AM

So all those trades actually won us a playoff game. Didn't expect that.
