Mmmmm, Cash.

Let's GO!

I can't see Garcia pitching as well as he did in Game 2, can you?

Nope. All he needs is to be just good enough.

Ah, the first inning bunt attempts.
[1] Cash is nice but give me Willie Nelson!

Boy, that was an ugly AB, Michael.

[6] Professional Hitter™

Some major onions by Garcia getting these two strike outs.

Great job by Garcia there.

[5] I'll take both. Enough room on the iPod for them.

Sutcliffe: "That's what the Cardinals needed because if it was a double or triple then the Rangers would walk Pujols". Yes of course, a single is much better than an XBH and IBB... you fucking idiot!! We need FJM guys to come back desperately.

Berkman sends it to Blue Hawaii! 2-1 Boids!

Evening, Team.
It's such a different experience to watch high-stakes baseball when you have no dog in the fight, isn't it? I still feel the tension but without all the churning and rage and anxiety.

Kind of like a vacation or something.

13) So well put.

Thanks.

Jesus, they are so *blonde* in the midwest!

tied up

[16] Tee-hee! I was thinking that in Texas actually. Blonde and..er.."zaftig".

Not looking too good for St. Louis, is it?

A good discussion over at IIAATMS.
"Cano’s agent, Scott Boras, attempted to contact general manager Brian Cashman about redoing Cano’s deal and has been met with silence."

[20] Yeesh, at least talk. Though does Cashman's contract have to be done first? Wouldn't mind locking Robbie up through age 33 or so.

Missed it by that much.

Wait, what???

Jeter has 20 postseason homeruns?

That can't be right, can it?

Oh my a Holliday in Cambodia there.

Costly error.

That was great hitting.

I wish our guys knew how to wait on balls like that.

That was gorgeous.

Man, poor St. Louis.
And now, poor fucking Napoli.
I don't know what happened but god, he's writhing.

Owwww, that ankle! Fuck!

[28] That replay was painful to watch. Can't believe they're leaving him in, how can he run the bases?

[21] Boras will want 8/$160m. The Yanks have Cano for $14m and $15m over the next 2 years. I would stay pat and buy him in 2014.

[30] But Boras might shop him around for an extra couple of millions per year and annoy Robbie. I'd rather spend the money in pen. Maybe reassure Robbie about rings and HoF. He's going to make his bucks. Again, just talk.

Omg, it's a fucking clown circus!

WTF?

I'm reminded of the old chipmunk cartoon Chip and Dale, who were exceedingly polite: you go first, oh no you must . . .

Earth to Wash. Your boy Lewis had better put up a zero now, because that was a horrible non-move.

30) Jeez, bro, there's a Whirled Serious going on, man.

[35] Baffling. These managers are just..really head-scratching.

Do you let Lewis go back out there in the 6th to face the heart of the order?

Ooof, the 0-2 close to Albert.

Can you say make-up call?

Tough AB for Holliday here. Colby better not make a mistake...

Jay-zus..freaking Little League action here.

Wow, this is one fugly game.

Jeebus, can this get any crazier?

What did McCarver just say? "The ball wasn't hit hard enough for him to think about going to 2nd." Really?

Both teams are playing too tight tonight.

Record for most errors in a WS?

I usually prefer a crisp game, but the mutual ineptitude is pretty exciting.

[45] Boat! You got FOX? I got Sutcliffe/ESPN on NHK BS1 here.

[49] I'm at the orafice. Watching on my Mac. If you buy the MLB premium package now you get ALL the games (if you live outside US/Canada).

Why is Washington wearing gloves? It can't be that cold.

[50 At some point you got to stop putting Ogando out there..what a crazy game though. I'm parked on the couch!

Nobody wants to win.

Hoiliday is an excellent player, but has bad instincts.

[51] Gonna hit freezing in Toledo tonight. Garden is finished. Midwest is that cold.

5 Errors, 3 Un-Earned runs.

Is this the same Napoli that Scoscia platooned?

What an ugly game.

[55] Got a dusting of wet Snow up here in NH...

[51] It's cold, and Wash doesn't have much meat on those bones (wonder why?).
Here in NY it's in the 30's

Who wants to win the World Series? Amazing how for even the most professional, the fundamentals get fudged under the pressure. I've never seen it this bad.

[60] Chase Utley... All-Star Game?

I know I'm a homer, but the Yankees would have taken care of business against Texas and then the Cards. I hate that short first PS series.

I know I'm a homer, but the Yankees would have taken care of business against Texas and then the Cards. I hate that short first PS series.

Yippie! Bingo! A doubler!

[63] That's what George used to say.

[60] Yeah, but it's contagious in this game and series.

[55] Holy Toledo! It's 63 in Tokyo. Highs are supposed to be around 70 all week. I'm lovin' it.

Heck, Nolan has a coat on.

[67} Radiation?

I'll take the Rangers winning over the Cardinals. LaRussa and his so-called genius annoys me. If the Cardinals lose maybe Pujols will end up on another team, even the Yankees.

Why did Beltre suck so bad in Seattle? Why does everyone suck in Seattle (except Ichiro)?

[71] Must be the rain and the Heroin.

[70] As DH? Or Mark as DH? Jesus is cheaper.
Um, did I just sin there?

[69] Global Warming

[72] Latter is a great song by Lou Reed.

That was a stupid throw to home...major league baseball mind? Couldn't Jay see that Holland was halfway to home before the ball left his hand?

"The oceans white with foam." That line always tears me up.

[75] One of the best songs ever, and the Velvet's also did "Waiting for the Man" on that theme.

[77][78] Ahh, Lou Reed. 35+ years of unlistenable albums. I admire his consistency!

[75, 78] Lou also did a song called "The Heroine" on what might be his best post-Velvets album, "The Blue Mask."

This has been one of the strangest World Series games ever. I wonder if it's just going to end quietly or there's more weirdness on tap.

OldPoll:
Albert's next contract will be for:
Given to him by the:

Cubs: 6/$160

[78] I spent years with a combo of Mary Jane and booze and other substances to that song. Glad I got out of that alive. With the ability to enjoy a beer.

Does no one recognize Emma's warning that Molinas are dangerous this time of year?

[82] Interesting. But can he handle Chicago? That town chews up stars like ground chuck.

[82] I agree with the Cubs, but it will be 7years/$200M

Albert wants a more than A-Rod contract.

Yeesh not a great game.

Motte? Did they get the name right?

[81] I was at game 4, 1993 WS that Toronto won 15-14 over the Phillies in Philadelphia. That was the craziest game, and the crowd was run through a wringer. Even Philly fans were too spent to be angry or mean. 8 lead changes, the Blue Jays score 6 runs in the eighth to take a a one run lead that held up. Mitch Williams gave it up to take the loss.

home in time to watch the yankees bring home #28.

oh, wait... : (

good for tejas though. sorry, cult!

this poo-holes guy is a pretty good hitter, huh?

Let's go Fat Elvis!

wow, he never came close.

So glad this all has nothing to do with me.

[91] yeah, i like big puma. i saw him hit his homer early in the game, during a break at work.

[93] i hear ya, but i wish it had *everything* to do with all of us. plus, if it were us in this situation, Mo wouldn't be throwing 6 balls in a row!

I know, right?

show the hot blonde again!

What the fuck was he looking at?

Wow. That was right down the middle.

it's gotta be kinda cool to have frank zappa as your pitching coach ; )
