Not sure I wouldn't rather start Brown in Game 5. At the moment, I trust JV only slightly more than Smith. But if JV were to start that game, hopefully the plan would be to have Brown come in at the first serious hint of a rally. Guess I know better, but let me have my dreams. 


too early to be this drunk

Game 4 in a ppd scenario would be full/normal rest.

and even scarier, could make him available on short rest for a possible game 7 

Factually correct, I was more going for "extra rest" and said it poorly.

I just see no reason to skip Javier when he's been lights out

I always find these situations funny because they could easily be avoided.

Yes this alternative sucks, but everyone knew 3 days ago about this weather so they could have just started the game at 3 pm and got it in.....and that could have been told before any team even left Houston so both teams were prepared. I know $$$ talks and this would have never be done though.

You already said it (money talks), but Mastercard didn’t pay for the “ I stand up to cancer” gamebreak at 4pm instead of 8pm.

Good for Philly fans as a whole. Pretty shitty for the ones who have to pay for parking, concessions, etc. for a game that everyone knows isn’t happening.

Again, lulz fuck them, but just more bush league shit from the commish.

No weeping here for Philly fans.

It makes economic sense not to have it. That's why they don't. It would be a waste of money.

I do not agree.  The Yankees spent 2.3B on their stadium.  They absolutely could have put a retractable roof on it for that money.

Why am I getting Asian Porn comic book advertisements all over the place on Surly?  I have never visited graphic novel porn in my life, nor Asian porn either (NTTAWWT). 

You’re Tree Fiddy membership has probably lapsed. This site bombards with you ads if you’re not Tree Fiddy.

Adding the extra off day is bullshit.  The playoffs need fewer off days not more.  Teams should be rewarded for having deeper pitching staffs.

Philly could theoretically now go: G1 Nola, G2 Wheeler, G3 Nola 3 days rest, G4 Wheeler 3 days rest, G6 Nola 3 days rest, G7 Wheeler 3 days rest.  

I don't think they will but it shouldn't be possible.

We shelled Nola and Wheeler. It would be awesome if they pitched this way.

I didn’t think this was Asian but when I clicked on the link to see if this was what I thought it was it said Asian. I think it’s the first add I’ve ever clicked on. 
also- now I get to watch without the trick or treat, but son of a fucking bitch the fact that we’ve played 9 games in the last 28 days is absurd.

Yes, economic sense is why the Yankees didn't include it in their 2.3 billion dollar stadium. Financial constraints and all.

Oops too late.
