(With apologies to any Yankees supporters...) Can Texas win the AL pennant today? Or back home? Ironically enough the team used to be the (second) Washington Senators, the team we cheered for to beat the “Damn Yankees” in that famous musical. You gotta have heart, all you really need is heart! Heard last night’s game on radio due to work; wish I could have seen the stands at Y-Stadium beginning to empty late in game...

It was strange watching last night’s game without seeing periodic shots of George Steinbrenner in the owners booth. I’m sure he’d have had a scowl the last two nights and been looking to fire somebody.

The Minnesota Twins were also the Senators at one time. So the Yankees got a double dose of the Senators this year.

• Washington Senators (1891–1899), played in the American Association and the National League.
• Washington Senators from 1901–1960, then became the Minnesota Twins
• Washington Senators from 1961–1971, then became the Texas Rangers

Wow, the umpiring in the NLCS is atrocious. How can 6 umpires have missed that balk?

Of course, it’s looking like the Giants could just put their bats on their shoulders and have a team .500 OBP against Blanton today. He’s pitching like Rick Vaughn out there.

Giants lead series 3-1. Exciting game.
