MLB World Series Game 5: Giants @ Rangers November 1st
Miked Up LIVE!
- Good evening, everyone! Can you believe that this could be the last baseball game of the year? I mean, it is November and everything, but still, it's kind of sad that a terrific 2010 season could end tonight. Whether it does or doesn't, we have a tremendous pitchers' duel between Tim B. Lincecum and Clifton P. Lee to which to pay attention - hopefully it'll live up to our expectations this time!
- Ya, sorry to see the season coming to an end
- Spring training is only 3.5 months away.
- I go thru withdrawal every year..lol
- They keep saying I can listen online to the game on 590, do you know where I might find a link for that?
- Yeah, sorry about that. You can't actually listen to the game online - that was a mistake that no one caught.
- I'm ready for the offseason. Once players start filing for free agency, things tend to be interesting. The weeks right before pitchers and catchers reporting tend to be slow and boring, though.
- I almost always find the winter meetings are a big load of nothing, but AA has surprised me over and over with his wheeling and dealing, so now I'm curious about the next 4 months.
- its a pain we can't listen to the fan 590 over the net for game broadcasts, because you can pick up radio broadcasts over the net-will that be fixed next year Mike
- It's not a matter of having it fixed, it's the way MLB does things. They own all the online rights to everything MLBic, and they don't allow anyone to broadcast their games online.
- Mike, you should record commentary to your Dynasty League games in the off-season. I swear people would listen. Or just a podcast of some sort. That would help those cold, baseball-less, winter days.
- There's not a chance that: A - anyone would possibly be interested in that, and 2 - I would ever do it.
- I have to question Rogers dedication to the baseball product in Toronto, if they ensure consistent post season broadcasts.
- I think you're using the word "ensure" incorrectly.
- I meant 'cannot' insure.
- The radio station is committed to broadcasting the Raptors. Would you want to gear the NBA Finals on the Fan590 if there were a regular season Blue Jays game on?
- Moonraker, I'm not going to talk about that. Don't want to ruin things for you.
- Mike, how big of a deal in the baseball world is the Hank Aaron Award?
- Not as big as the MVP
- Well, certainly nothing wrong with Lincecum tonight!
- I can understand they have contract commitments, but they also have a lot of frequencies in this market they could use for baseball playoffs
- thats true-good point mike
- Your comment about not talking about something, makes me intensely curious about which topic was off limits.
- :-)
- The Hank Arron award was a nice conciliatory award for JoBau
- Hank Aaron - and conciliatory?
- instead of the mvp
- DIfferent people are voting on it, I'm just confused by your choice of words.
- Do you think Burrell would be playing if the Giants were down 3-1 at this point?
- Yep - he kills lefties.
- I know he wont win the mvp so I thought winning the Hank Aaron award was good
- nice play by lee
- VERY nice - not too many pitchers can make that play. If it gets through it's two on, two out and Posey at the plate.
- @michael.wilner He's 0-for- the world series, with a whole snack pack of strikeouts is all.
- Yeah, but it's only three games, big deal.
- Hasn't he tied the record for ws k's
- No, he only has eight.
- I thought 8 was the record, is it more than that?
- I believe it's 13 - Ryan Howard, last season.
- @michael.wilner He's 2 for 25 since the second game of the NLCS. Tough time to hit a slump.
- It happens. He's still a lefty-killer.
- Mike, let's say the Jays were looking into some sort of trade this off-season, and the other team had asked for Hechavarria as part of the return. Does the team have to factor in the signing bonus they paid for him? Or once he's here, is he just seen as another asset that could be moved in the value made sense?
- It's money that's already spent.
- Which of these 2 teams are most likely to be back in the World Series next year?
- That's a question that's impossible to answer.
