Was a hell of a good time, even though the Giants lost.

All good. And...let's go GIANTS! With that starting rotation, they might just shut down the Phils. Do you live near SF? I did live there when they opened the new park in the late 90's and went to the opening game. There is no better view in MLB then from the upper decks at AT&T (it was PacBell then). Much better than Candlestick, where we had to wear winter clothes in July to see night games. With the howling raw foggy winds, conditions were the most miserable in baseball. Just five miles away, AT&T Park is calm and balmy at night. [14] I wasn’t insinuating anything about what you were thinking. All good. And…let’s go GIANTS!

Baseball's decision to drag out the playoff schedule is insufferable. At this point I am just rooting for any series to be extended: I’d rather have games than a week of off-days.

Though you're right, a true Hacky at bat would have involved him rolling over an outside pitch and grounding out to 2nd. But, GO GIANTS! If, by some miracle they beat the Phillies and the Yankees advance, I'm totally going to SF to see a WS game, which I've never done before.

My secondary team are the Giants (and we're half way to a dream WS for me). But, I had to pull for Melky there. I'm glad he at least had a representative AB, and grounded down the third base line. Better than a weak dribbler, or a strike three swing on one in the dirt. We all loved Melky at one time or another. [11] Ah, up to Melky.

He always was on point, and his statements were direct and salient. I'm glad he got to win one WS, because his team almost always was second best. The Braves must have come in first 12-15 times in the division, but could not win the final series. How long would he have survived as Yankee manager? Yogi knows that answer. A Yankee who played with both Mantle and Munson. He'll be missed at the game. Bobby Cox, what a baseball career for the ages. He always was on point, and his statements were direct and salient.

Shouldn't it be coming from the manager, Girardi? Burnett in Game Four is no big surprise, but I don't see him getting a long leash. If the Yankee bullpen is well-rested for that game, Burnett might come out during the first rally. Does anybody find it odd that this information comes from the GM?
