number6horse, your red soul patch was no match for....

I have to say that pop fly error and the subsequent outcome had to be heartbreaking for Card's fans.

Dude, I felt like jumping off the top of the Arch. But I would have had to wait in line...

One last chance Saturday. And I actually never did get time to color my soul patch. But I sure as hell am tomorrow

I was at the game, sitting down the left field line just past third base. It was a perfect view for the Holliday error. To me, it looked like the ball had a strange trajectory and ended up carrying a bit more than it originally looked like it would. Of course, that's easy for me to say now.

I'm glad it happened, but that was a real kick in the jimmy for Cards fans. number6horse, I thought about you and felt bad... but just for a second. ;)

Then I high-fived every person I passed as I walked out to the parking lot.

The worst thing about this is the fact that LaRussa and Duncan will probably leave in the off-season. To join the Reds and reunite with GM Walt Jocketty. It's the end of an era in St. Louis. But I'm grateful for 8 playoff appearances in 14 seasons. It's been a hell of a ride.

GO DODGERS !

The Red Sox had no chance going into this. Pitching in question, but hitting really in question. All they had was defense, and that was in question. Hmmm. Always good to play for second place. And they did.

So, it's on to the Patriots. And they squandered a lead in Denver, only to lose in overtime. Oh bugger.

I'm telling y'all...Dodgers over Yankees in 6!

Though Dodgers Vs. Angels would be something....

As my old buddy Charlie at the cemetery was fond of saying: "I root for the Red Sox and whoever is playing the Yankees"

Another uninspiring October, time for some Hockey.

Well, I don't know...It's looking like Yankees-Phillies right now. The Phillies seem to be the Dodgers kryptonite and it's really pissing me off!
But I'm glad the Angels are going down, I can't stand the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim.

Awwww! Heartbreaking, absolutely heartbreaking. the Dodgers have been breaking my heart fo 21 years now! Oh well, at least I still have the Lakers...they usually make up for all Los Angeles sports.

Yeah, I was hoping Torre would get a chance to face the Yankees. No go on that.

I want to see the Yankees have to fight for this pennant. John Lackey is a pretty stubborn competitor and it's back in Anaheim tonight. Who knows... 7-game series ? I hope so.

(nervas - look away and cover your ears before I say this)

GO ANGELS !

Phillies vs. Yankees beginning Wednesday night.

Hopefully it can take my mind off the slap in the face that StL Cardinals management delivered today. Good ol' Mark McGwire will drag his sorry steroid-scarred ass to town like nothing ever happened and assume the role of Hitting Coach. After dodging questions before Congress during the March '05 hearings.

But 2005 was ancient history, wasn't it ?
Tell you what: my affinity for this team is about to become history too.

and the Yankees once again. Wow. I'm just happy the Lakers play in Los Angeles. Back to back!

After Andre Dawson's selection to the Hall of Fame, I'm surprised a certain former Montreal Expos fan didn't revive this thread ! One thing I always got a kick out of was that Dawson won his MVP award on a last-place 1987 Cubs team. (The Expos finished 20 games OVER .500 that season but finished 3rd behind St. Louis and NY Mets.)

In the summer of '94, I had the pleasure of seeing him jack one WAY over the Green Monster at Fenway when he was the DH for the Red Sox. It was one of those moon shots that just made "that sound" when it left the bat. His knees were completely shot by that point and it took him forever to round the bases. But the stats page says he managed to hit 20 that year. And I'm pretty sure he did it without syringes, too.

Except for the post-game heroin orgies, of course.

I haven't stopped pinching myself. I don't think it's real. Dawson was a real throwback player; no juicing, stoic, led with his performance on and off the field instead of his mouth.

the turf at Olympic Stadium killed the Hawk's knees. that surface was no better than a towel thrown over concrete.

If you did that in the bigs, someone would be taking a fastball to the hip or the small of the back the next time they stepped up to the plate. You can't just let shit like that go unpunished! Ha.

I'm a Scottish Dodgers fan, but I'm not fully up to date with their season.

I'm drunk at six am too though. Haha. =D

Edit: Also I like the Texas Rangers because they remind me of Queen's Park F.C. IE Shite. =D

Ok dude, we get it. You like to stay up all hours of the night and get drunk. We don't need a reminder and a timestamp on every post you make.

Funniest baseball news lately, was how A-Rod ran across the pitchers mound(I looked for video, all I could find have been removed) and that pitcher something Braden had a big problem with it. A-Rod kept responding in interviews how he didn't know who the F that guy was. And now about a month later, the dude pitches a perfect game!

I don't know, I like A-Rod, but still funny.

I was at the Ravine for win #9 last night. Got my Ethier bobble head, but no Ethier.

Here's to another sweep of the Padres!
