Well, times change and so do the personnel. Except of course for the famous 5 - Jeter, Posada, Matsui, Pettitte and Rivera. Though the hitting from these 5 was 0-11 with 3 walks, the pitching was spot on.

Probably that it was blammed (deleted). Then it should be located in the Obituaries (on the Flash Portal page, about half way down in the centre). Of course there are other reasons it could have disappeared - marked for administrative review, for example.

It's showing that you've got no submissions at present, so I'd suggest that you just got blammed. Improve it and submit the new version, see how you get on.

No, I signed up for Newgrounds in 9AD - I was born in 17BC and was just past 26 when I signed up :P I did tell Jesus that calling yourself the son of God will only go and get you killed. I was right!

Yeah, I'm pretty sure that's due to all the NFL games on Sunday. The American channel that has rights to broadcast the ALCS/World Series, FOX, has also NFL games on the same day so that naturally bumped everything back.

Fucking NFL! I went and played some Blood Bowl instead - it's how American Football should be played - with weapons and hand in hand with death himself!

If you want some silver lining, at least daylight savings time (summer time as you guys call it) is over for you, and is still going on here. So that means the time difference is shorter; so instead of 1:20 am it will only be a 12:20am start. :)

Yeah, but I still didn't watch a single pitch live. I'll get to see all of the World Series live though as Thursday is the first day of Holiday. I'll watch game 1 on Wednesday night on short rest, but I'll be there!

Ask and ye shall receive - he's just heated up over the past two days, with 3 goals there and five points over those two games. Suddenly he's tied for the lead in scoring on the team with Wojtek Wolski and Ryan O'Reilley (!) This kid seems to be looking to surpass Matt Duchene as the club's top rookie this year. I don't mind a bit of healthy competition like that.

Talking of fantasy teams, mine took a nasty hit - I picked up Cody McCleod and then he takes a stick to the face and is out injured. Bummer.

Don't you know once I post the thoughts of a Yanks/Phils W.S. They go ahead and lose yet another clinching game. Funny how things go the other way once a declarative statement leaves my mouth.

TELL ME THE ANGELS WILL WIN IT ALL MAN! *pleading cow eyes*

I have no idea either - I do know that offensive is an s in UK English, while offence is a c, while is just bizarre.

Yeah, just don't get me started on Aluminium/Aluminum.

*sharp intake of breath; twitches*

Well, you can believe late inning rallies from the Yanks, surely? A shame that we couldn't make this one stick. I just hope that we don't have to use CC for Game 7 - he deserves to get the ball for Game 1 and face Cliff Lee ;)

Actually I'm hoping that you do use CC for game 7! Just so the starting staff is less rested than the Phils and can't be lined up properly like what happened in last years Sox/Rays ALCS. Then again, since that thought left my mouth (yes, I said it aloud to myself jokingly) Yanks will probably win game 6 now. And since I just said that the Yanks would win it's evenly jinxed. Or is it? Vicious circle maybe?

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARGH!

For clarification, yes, I want to see the Yanks win tonight. I've booked seven days off work and I don't want to waste them having to sit through a Phils / Angels World Series. If the Yanks can get it done tonight, more rest is good, plus we can see where we stand with regards to players like Nick Swisher, who has been blowing colder than that breeze out towards right field at the Stadium of late.

I've technically got an extra hour in bed tonight (clocks go back an hour), but I might waste that, depending upon how late I have to stay up for post-party taxi services. My girlfriend is out and I can't drink because of it...

Much of the "games with medals" collection appears to be action games that I'm not good at and don't enjoy, so chances are I won't ever get medals from those (at least beyond the "low-hanging fruit" ones I already may have gotten, usually for things such as "kill your first enemy" or so).

Another tragic loss for the community. Though I never saw Stick Slayer, before the loss of the creator, I have seen that he was a very capable artist and I totally agree that we have lost a quality artist who was a credit to his family and a wonderful friend to those that knew him.

JakBaronKing has suggested setting up an NG Memorial page for the artists we've lost over the years, so that is under consideration. I intend for NG to last the next 100 years, so this sort of page will unfortunately become more and more necessary.

I know we've only lost a small handful over the years that have been widely publicised, like LiveCorpse, but this is one of the things that needs to be kept at the forefront, allowing people to read more about Newgrounds' storied and colourful history.

No offense (have you noticed we use the S here across the pond, dunno why) taken.

I have no idea either - I do know that offensive is an s in UK English, while offence is a c, while is just bizarre.

Speaking as a fan of the Phillies, the death of Harry cut deep into the hearts of the community as we thought of him as not so much a part of the team, but one of us. He was that guy watching the team along with us through good and bad and was always friendly, no matter the outcome. If you were a Phils fan born in the late '60's or thereafter all you knew was the comforting voice of Harry (and Whitey). Like I said, I can't speak for Angels fans, but us Philly fans lost a friend.

Yeah, Harry was like an old friend to you guys - always there to impart his wisdom. Kind of like how I viewed Scooter's passing as one of a loveable uncle, who doesn't seem like he's quite got all of his marbles, but that's why you love him.

I think that with my girlfriend's own aversion to thongs, this will not go down well.

Still, at least it gives me the cause to suggest that she goes commando :P

And then there were three.

Unfortunately Howard went 0-2 with 2 walks, so no RBI streak extension. Problem was that he was pitched around for the most part, and he could've had a chance in the 8th but Chase couldn't come through to extend the inning. Still, he got the Series MVP which was justified.

Definately - he was setting Ks records a few years ago and now he's really developing into a quality power hitter.

Really though, I honestly thought this series would've went 6 or 7. We see that Cole version '09 is clearly not as dominant as last year's version. And after that game 2 gem that Pedro pitched went the wayside with a loss and all the talk about a Phillies bullpen that wasn't as good as the Dodgers, well I just figured it would've worked itself out to 6 or 7 games.

Yeah, you could say that for both of the Championship Series, since they are supposed to be the two best teams in the National and American Leagues. But that's the thing about baseball - it only takes a hot pitcher to derail a whole lineup and it only takes one good swing to blow a scoreless tie open.

If the Angels somehow pull off a 3 game winning streak to take the AL pennant it will be a more somber battle with both teams having a close member of their respective families dying earlier this year in Adenhart and Kalas.

No offence meant to any of the Phillies family, but Nick Adenhart was much more tragic than Harry Kalas - at least Kalas lived a long and fulfilling life, after all. I don't think the series would be a sombre one, to be honest, as both teams will play hard to win, which I'm sure we will see of the Angels tonight, when they host the Yanks in Game 5.

Burnett comes off a wild no decision in game 2, while Lackey comes off his game 1 appearance in what could be his last appearance in an Angels uniform. We'll see. I think that it's going to be one hell of a game :)
