After a two-day break, the baseball playoffs resume tonight with the National League Championship Series between the Philadelphia Phillies and Los Angeles Dodgers.  This is a rematch of last year's NLCS, the first time that's happened since 2005.  (That actually doesn't sound like that big a deal.)

Last year, the Phillies won in five games.  This year, the Dodgers have home field.  Will that make a difference?

The Game 1 starting pitchers are Cole Hamels for Philly and Clayton Kershaw for L.A.

The Good Phight and TrueBlueLA are your SB Nation sites to follow this evening.

it was starting to feel like there’d never be a game again!

MLB was trying to build momentum

In the most stupid way possible.

MLB took the Tigers route

Squandered. They could have had Tuesday and Wednesday to themselves, and due to the rigid TV contacts they decided to just blow it.

Hello

I am feeling quite accomplished. I’m done with exams until November, I was able to get a Tuesday lab section for next semester, and I FINALLY got part one of my season review done and posted.

my boss isn't going to be my boss much longer

He’s retiring at the end of November.

One of my coworkers (we have identical hire dates, oddly enough) interviewed and got the promotion to his position. He’ll do a great job, I think.

I don't think I could tolerate my job without my boss

I’d also probably be close to being fired, as he and I have a good, hilarious dynamic (meaning he lets me slack off too much). :)

by allikazoo on Oct 15, 2009 8:51 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

that's why I'm so glad that my coworker got hired

We get along very well, and have a good working relationship already. I’d rather that than try to figure out how best to deal with an entirely different boss.

Especially if he was a “looking over shoulder” kind of person. I like to be left alone to do my work – don’t badger me, don’t give me empty praise – just let me do my job and make sure the paychecks don’t bounce, and I’m fine.

I’m trying to get some homework done with the game on because fall break starts tomorrow and I’m going to Toronto with a couple of friends, so I’m guaranteed not to get any work done over the long weekend.

I'm really excited

one of the friends who’s accompanying me LOVES Canada. No one is really sure why, because she’s never actually been there, but she does, so she’s really pumped to actually go there.

By the way, this probably won't come into play at Dodger Stadium (or at the Big A, for that matter)...

But if it happens to be cold in either Philadelphia or New York, you guys will be happy to know that the Polanco hood is still an option for players:

Hey, I really like this guy, but this is not a good picture of him

I didn't mean it as a insult to his character;

he just can’t rock the hood. He looks silly.

by wepri31 on Oct 15, 2009 9:02 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

Oh, no, I totally agree with you

I actually find him to be rather attractive. The hood definitely does him a disservice. I don’t even remember him wearing it in that game. He certainly wasn’t wearing it while he was batting. And you can’t see it that well with this image size, but I swear he’s wearing it inside-out.

they were constantly asking for money when i’d walk around downtown EL. “Got bus fair? can you spare a buck so I can get something to eat?” The dumpster diving took place pretty much anywhere though.

He sure looked good in the NLDS, but was that just a fluke?

oh he does have a future, for sure

he was oakland’s #1 prospect before being traded for matt holliday, arizona’s top prospect before going to oakland for danny haren. he’s been a star at every minor league stop, basically.

He got on base at a fairly decent clip, had consistent power in the minors.

by MackAveKurt on Oct 15, 2009 10:53 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

Good

I knew nothing about him prior to the NLDS and I decided I liked him very early on. I’m glad there’s substance to it. (Actually, I found out later that he was with Oakland last year and batted cleanup in a game I went to, but I don’t remember him at all). Of course, as impressed as I was with him, I was getting very jealous that he wasn’t wearing an Olde English D.

Same here

I was 12 when that movie came out. I haven’t watched it since sometime in high school, though. When I was 13 I saw a movie called “Tiger Town” that must’ve come out sometime in the ‘80s. It’s basically the exact same plot as “Angels in the Outfield” except it’s the Tigers and instead of angels, the kid just wishes really, really hard. Roy Scheider was in it and apparently Sparky Anderson and Ernie Harwell played themselves (I did not know who either of them were when I was 13, though).

Figured he was busy getting prepared for tomorrow. :)

Oh, God

I was trying to tell the Dodgers fans that “Manny is swinging WAY too hard” and I ALMOST said “Miggy is swinging WAY too hard.”

Haha, you live in the south

Nice.

Did you change the recipe at all?

by john.kmiecik on Oct 15, 2009 11:55 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

nah, followed it closely

I’m terrible at baking so I rarely tweak new recipes. haha. I used the two jalapenos, I seeded one and left the seeds in the other. I could have left all the seeds in. they aren’t that spicy

I work 4-9, so I'll miss the entire Dodgers game

I’ll probably be home for the second half of the Angels-Yankees game.

by SabreRoseTiger on Oct 16, 2009 12:14 AM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

stupid paying job getting in the way of baseball

But I’ll be around as soon as I get off work. Here’s hoping for fewer walks for the Dodgers tomorrow.

(And far less Randy Marsh, too.) :(

Would he back behind the plate for a potential Game 7?

oh, god

That would be a nightmare. Maybe we will all be lucky and he will come down with raging gastrointestinal distress right before the game and will be back to 100% health 30 minutes after it is all over.

Well, maybe I can put my studies to good use

Surely there must be some pharmaceutical, although spiking his coffee with some sort of sedative might be easier.

well, good night (or morning) everyone

Talk to you all tomorrow.

David Wells is complaining about Randy Marsh’s strike zone

I noticed that

Wells is an awful booth guy though.
