2aly Deep-86ed ;Again – Halos Heaven_690

Filed under: Ugg Boot — admin @ 8:41 am

When it comes to the depression meter, that Game 5 of the pennant series spins off the dial.




Deep-86ed ;Again - Halos Heaven

If Magic and Nugget fans were bummed by those LeBron and Kobe three-pointers, they have nothing on 1986 Angel loyalists.

    Anaheim Stadium. Blue wall. No ads. Just an Angel logo. Natch, no rocks. Seats throughout, explaining the attendance that was 20,000 more than today’s capacity. And the light grass. Ag technology had to be weaker back then. The batters. ABC showed that the bottom third of the lineup was carrying the Angel load. The trio was Dick Schofield, Bob Boone and Gary Pettis, although Schofield hit second in Game 5. Missing was a graphic called Miss October. Reggie’s DH stood for Didn’t Hit. The one time he singled, he was picked off. TV’s Al Michaels evidently wasn’t tuned in. With Jackson leading off the bottom of the 10th, Michaels thought it was 1977. He said with excited anticipation: “Who wrote this script?” Answer: Boston. The pitcher. Mike Witt was a winner. Or should’ve been. No walks in 8 and two-thirds. One strike away from a pennant. Somewhere in there, ABC noted, “No pitcher has ever thrown two complete games in a championship series.” In the fifth, an MLB Network historical note posted his perfect-game numbers of 1984 at Texas: 94 pitches, 10 Ks. The broadcast. Good timing. While this 1986 gem aired, so did a look at the 1986 New York Giants on NFL Network. And MLB Network followed with Mets-Boston, exactly the World Series match-up after the Angels fell. The hero. Dave Henderson almost wasn’t. After Tony Armas hurt his leg in center, Henderson replaced him and pulled a goat of play in the sixth. Leaping for a Bobby Grich drive, the center fielder had the ball in his mitt, then ice-cream-coned it over the fence. Having given the Angels a 3-2 lead, Grich set a record for celebration. Michaels: “It may be one of the more memorable plays of the ’80s.” Unfortunately, not quite. The banners. “The Sox are at Witt’s end.” “Yes We Can” (did Obama steal that?). The slammer. With Boston’s Mike Greenwell up in the eighth, MLB Network added an amazing note: He had two inside-the-park grand slams in his career. Against the same pitcher, Greg Cadaret. Once when Cadret was with the A’s, once with the Yankees. The seer. “Remember that man, Gedman,” said Michaels in the eighth. Indeed, the Sox catcher who had homered and doubled would draw the hit by pitch in the ninth to set up Henderson’s shot. The traitor. Seven years after winning the Angels’ first MVP Award, Don Baylor stuck it to his old team. Now DHing for Boston, he nailed a one-out homer in the ninth to cut the Angels’ lead to 5-4. And he scored the winner on Henderson’s sac fly in the 11th. The pitches. Moore was thisclose to closing the door with two out in the ninth. He had Henderson at 1-2, 2-2, two fouls. Then goodbye, 6-5 Sox. More timing. Just as Henderson parked Donnie Moore’s forkball on MLB Network, A-Rod was hitting his dramatic homer in the ninth against the Phillies in real time. The out. Grich was inches from winning it with two out in the ninth. With the game tied at 6 and the bases full, Bobby pushed a 2-0 count against Steve Crawford. Two balls away from triumph. The next pitch looked outside, but the ump said strike. Bobby eventually lined out to the mound. Michaels would point out that Crawford was on the roster because Tom Seaver got hurt. The coach. Pitching coach Marcel Lachemann went to the mound for Angel pitching changes, not manager Gene Mauch. The look. The Angels played one guy born outside the country: Jamaica’s Devon White. Now Latin Americans dominate the roster. The shots. Pettis was a foot from handing the Angels the flag in the 10th. Jim Rice said no way, leaping and hauling in his drive at the wall. The next frame, Angel left fielder Brian Downing kept the deficit at one by grabbing Ed Romero’s rocket at the fence. Michaels: “Wow! Are we really seeing this game?” The call. Michaels: “Anaheim was one strike away from turning into fantasyland.”

    So it was painful to watch Saturday as MLB Network replayed all 11 innings of the Angels’ 7-6 loss to Boston. Still, a wild time warp.

    Xenl Contrarian Google launches investment fund_30

So where will Google direct its attention?

Well, Google has said it’s confident of its cash position and ability to weather the storm. Also, a down economy is a good time to get better terms out of start-ups and to take on traditional venture capitalists who are leery of new investments during a time when it’s hard to extract funds from existing ones that no longer look so hot for acquisition or an initial public offering.

Contrarian Google launches investment fund

As expected, Google launched Google Ventures on Monday, following other Silicon Valley firms with a division to invest in promising start-ups.

Venture firms are relatively common among bigger Silicon Valley companies. During the fast-rising valuations during the dot-com bubble of the late 1990s, companies often found their investments doing better than their ordinary business. But the appetite for risk soured along with the economy.

Earlier Monday, the Wall Street Journal reported Google will fund the effort with $100 million in its first year.

Last week, Google announced an investment in Pixazza, an e-commerce company that hopes enlist profit-minded individuals to label photos on with sales-lead tags so they, Web site publishers, and Pixazza can generate revenue from online imagery. At the time, Google said it wasn’t yet ready to discuss Google Ventures.



But wait–isn’t there a recession? Venture capital firms have tightened the purse strings, with fourth-quarter investments dropping 71 percent from $11.7 billion in 2007 to $3.4 billion in 2008, according to the National Venture Capital Association.

“This is Google’s effort to take advantage of our resources to support innovation and encourage promising new technology companies,” said Google Ventures managing partners Rich Miner and Bill Maris in a blog post announcing the effort. “By borrowing the best practices of top-tier, financially focused venture capital firms and bringing to bear Google’s unique technical expertise and brand, we think we can find young companies with truly awesome potential and encourage their development into successful businesses.”

“We’ll be focusing on early stage investments across a diverse range of industries, including consumer Internet, software, clean-tech, bio-tech, health care and, no doubt, other areas we haven’t thought of yet,” the partners said.

“Economically, times are tough, but great ideas come when they will. If anything, we think the current downturn is an ideal time to invest in nascent companies that have the chance to be the ‘next big thing,’ and we’ll be working hard to find them,” the partners said.
