Welcome to the Conglomerated Game Thread for the Division Series games today:
There are three games today and there could have been four if the Dodgers hadn't polished off the Cubs Saturday night. So today it's the Philatampangeles Phirangels against the Milcagoton Brew Sox.
Or specifically:
Philadelphia Phillies at Milwaukee Brewers, Game 4, at 10:07 am PT. Joe Blanton facing Jeff Suppan.
Tampa Bay Rays at Chicago White Sox, Game 3, at 1:07 pm PT. Matt Garza against John Danks.
Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim at Boston Red Sox, Game 3, at 4:17 pm PT. Joe Saunders against Josh Beckett.
Since the games are likely to just bleed into the next one, I set up one thread. Also, I have to go in to work for part of the day. Basically, I have a Tampa Bay-Chicago shift. I still haven't seen one pitch of that series live. And if the Rays win, I will be shut out.
I've seen a handful of innings from the Philadelphia-Milwaukee series and all of the Boston-L.A. series.
Josh Wilker, your regular host for Red Sox playoff game threads, will be watching this one from a Red Sox bar in Chicago with his fellow displaced New Englanders. But Josh may be by at Cardboard Gods with some Kerouackian meditations.
If the White Sox win, they will play again tomorrow at 2:07 pm PT. If the Angels win, they will play in Boston at 5:37 pm PT. If the Brewers win today, they will play again Tuesday at 6:07 pm PT in Philadelphia. The NLCS starts on Thursday and the ALCS starts on Friday.
Cool weather and scattered showers are in the forecast for both Chicago and Boston.

I was supremely confident the Brewers could Win Game 3. Now here in Game 4, it could go either way. Blanton vs Suppan. I think it can happen. Win one for the Ueck, Brew Crew!
Leadoff home for J-Roll to start the 1st!
Alcides Escobar, the replacement, is one of two players named Alcides to play for the Brewers this year. The other was another infielder, Hernan Alcides Irribaren.
ah! but he just gave up a single with a man on, men & 3rd & 1st, 1 out & the catcher coming up to bat. DP!!
Especially since it has a guy who has a dream of getting a cool nickname like "Bob."
Seriously.
"OK, Jason."
After home run:
Suppan, "You were kidding right?"
Unless you live on the West Coast, then you'll have to wait about an hour to turn on the TV.
Or for goyim, you can just turn on the TV whenever.
svuem messed up pitching around howard, with burrell's #'s against Soup. should've taken the chance against the big man...
svuem giving up the game and trying to get CC a final standing O in front of the home crowd?
yeah, probably a roster flaw. plus, they're now missing Weeks...
Man, I just remembered this thing started at 0700 my time, turned it on and saw the score. I've got a friend who's a die-hard Phils fan; he's probably on pins and needles.
Fortunately, I did not get pulled over for a ticket. I intend to drive very slowly and carefully on the way home.
Yes.

He looks like somebody, although I'm not sure if Dave Chapelle who I am thinking of.
I watch too much TV I believe.

The White Sox have a lot of canned music though. But organist Nancy Faust has a booth on the lower level and the fans can come up and say hi to her during the games.
Or at least she did the one time I went there.
Game Over.
Guaranteed to not have Tuesday baseball.
Tomorrow at 2:07 pm PT!
Where did I see a hilarious comment today about a race between Konerko and someone.
I can't find it or remember who the other "speedster" was.
See 41
I don't care about the NFL,the NHL or the NBA. I'm marginally interested in college football and basketball.
Wow that Red Sox play at second had the potential to be bad news! Or good news in comeback sense.
Also, they're only in the bottom of the second inning. this game is going to last until Tuesday.
Orange County Angels?
And what the hell was that play in centerfield?
Yea!
that ball was crushed
I've gone blind!
Fortunately, I'm a touch typist.
It's for "Friday Night Lights".
So they aren't in much of a mood to chat.
In other news, WOOOOOOO THE PHILLIES ARE GOING TO THE NLCS!!!!!
But no one cares enoughs about these games to flaunt that.
Daniel Z probably does care that much but I don't think you can use that language within the state of Utah.
But Daniel isn't in Utah now.
The NL record is 4:27 by the Dodgers and Giants in 2001 on the night Bonds broke the single season home run record.
It's an easy way to get the lineup over to Kendrick.
/the entire East Coast south of CT
I would also like it to be pointed out that, more importantly, the Dodgers eliminated the Giants from postseason play in that game.
Perhaps "run" isn't the proper word.
OK John Cougar love's his town, and he loves our country! I bet he could love his state in certain circumstances!
So, we're around 3 1/2 hours now?
He's not even tenured!
Never underestimate the power of "Sweet Caroline" to beat the crazy monkey.
At least you aren't forced to sit through "Don't Stop Believin'"
good night.
The White Sox bigger problem is that they don't have much of a bullpen.
Yeah Dodgers!
of course, now the Angels have something going.
It's gonna be the Mets. I can feel it!
Is Alex Gonzalez on the Red Sox by any chance?
5-4 Angels.
I pay attention to the NL, then the Pacific Coast League, and time permitting, the AL.
DH delendum est.
Also, Huzzah, Angels score!
Just another RBI hit for Aybar.
YES!!!
Please ground into a double play.
Thanks.
I'm glad that some of the reporters asking questions report in print and not on the radio. Like a face made for radio, they had voices made for print.
199 , I got back from brunch in my dining hall that day, put on the game, watched for about seven innings, snoozed for about seven more, watched four more innings, then went to dinner after Chris Burke gained his 15 minutes of fame. And yet somehow that game was not nearly as painful as watching five hours of the Red Sox...
