Man, if we can carry over the enthusiasm from the rally tonight into Game 3, we could be in for some real fun!
I'm a Redskins fan, and our rookie DB Chris Horton (UCLA), is fast becoming our game changing player on defense. The guy had 3 turnover recoveries last week, and this week he picks off Tony Romo to seal the game.
My question is, "was he this good at UCLA?" Seems like he's been flying under the radar.
Yes, but mostly because of tackling. His coverage skills were the issue, but that has been his strong suit as a Redskin.
Good scheming by them.
When will the Dodgers publish the playoff roster?
And how many innings will Vin Scully do on the radio per game?
The MLB Audio subscription is still active for all the audio. It's $14.95 for the season, or if you order it now.
Nothing official yet, but these people are off the NLDS roster, per Diamond earlier today:
--------------------------
"Hong-Chih Kuo is off the playoff roster for the NLDS. He was tested for circulation problems after he experienced numbness in his fingers warming up last night, and will head to Arizona to pitch in the instructional league in case the Dodgers need him later on.
"Also off the roster and headed to Arizona to work out are Chin-lung Hu, Jason Repko and Ramon Troncoso. The Dodgers are also sending Eric Stults to Mexico to play winter ball for Mazatlan, which is managed by Class AAA Las Vegas manager Lorenzo Bundy."
------------------------------------
No big surprises there. Hopefully Kuo can pitch in (and the Dodgers can play in) the NLCS.
If you want to read some Cubs Thoughts on facing the dodgers.
That 3:30 pm start Wednesday kind of sucks but it's about what I was expecting for the first one. I'll see if I can "work at home" that afternoon.
"I had an issue with one of my players," Garciaparra said, explaining that he had to find a pair of socks for catcher Russell Martin.

They are 30-23 with Manny. That's a 92 win team over a full year. Thats as good as Philly and better than the Brewers. And its not just him. Nomar, Ethier, Hu have all been on fire. Their bullpen has been great. It'll be tough.
Nomar and Hu have been on fire?
watch the Dodger game.
tivo the VP debate.
find The Office streaming/download online.
23 Good call, except I have the cheapo Tivo that can't tape something else while you watch a different channel. But I'm sure the debate will be available online pretty quickly, as well.
Just kidding. AWESOME. Let's go Mets!
I'm looking forward to this series. should be a blast.
Besides, not watching has worked out pretty well for everybody over the past month. Why mess with a good thing.
You can see baseball tonight preview the Cubs-Dodgers match up. Kruk and Singleton likes the Cubs. Gammons and Onley likes the Dodgers.
I've liked Bison in the leadoff spot but I assume Russ will start there
is it possible raff would start?
Furcal
Kemp
Ethier
Manny
Loney/Nomar
Blake
Martin
DeWitt
Lowe
If Furcal doesn't start.
Kemp
Martin
Ethier
Manny
Loney/Nomar
Blake
DeWitt
Berroa
Lowe.
I think this series will come down to pitching though, and the idea of maddux starting still scares me to death
Thankfully, I love my school and my job, and the school seems to not mind me so much, either.
Which is nice.
because that's most interviews I've been on:
1. I'm their best option
2. I don't really want to work for them.
jon, could you please be a sweetheart and if this comes together post where the viewing party (or partIES for our friends around the country) would be?

Mad Men tonight, one of the best episodes yet imho. I mean I wouldn't pee my pants about it, but it was really good.
On that page, the "experts" don't think our boys will fare very well. Neyer has up getting swept, Law and Stark have us winning 1 and Olney has us losing in 5. I really think this series depends on the Cubs starters. If Zambrano cannot recover and Harden is still only throwing in the mid to high 80's, we have a huge edge. I dont see Dempster as some unbeatable force (he's still Ryan freaking Dempster), so I am expecting at a split at Wrigley and would not be shocked if the Dodgers came home with a 2-0 lead.
I'm an amazingly petty man.
Hello? Mic check? Check, check...Hello?
In truth, I don't play well with others.
Yes, nice to see you again. Just ignore D4P like everyone else.

That would be cool.
I swear I saw bluetahoe around recently.
